Here’s my review of Melania. It is bad. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

i can’t believe i get to edit something like this for work

Lots of folks saying Josephine is the big film to break out of Sundance this year, and I’m with them www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

One of the best movies I’ve seen at Sundance so far www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Charli XCX appeared at Sundance to promote her new mockumentary "The Moment."

One of the all-time most shameful headlines I’ve ever seen @nytimes.com

I went deep on Rumors, a song that I've played at DJ sets roughly 100 times that was recorded in the Bay and spawned contract disputes, an imposter group, and both parodies and diss tracks. @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Incredible reporting from @stephco.bsky.social and @leddder.bsky.social on an AI tragedy for @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

Sad for New Year's! A vibe report from "Re-Animation" in Fruitvale www.oaklandreviewofbooks.org/sad-for-new-...

President Vladimir Putin of Russia has hailed the troops fighting his war in Ukraine as sacred heroes. But confidential complaints filed by troops and their families reveal a pattern of brutality and coercion in the ranks that is hidden from the Russian public. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It took a disaster to open the bridge to pedestrians.

For the first time ever, I’ve seen enough movies to make a proper top 10 list, and I’m happy to shoutout a few films that got downright ignored by most critics. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

My father, Nick Infante, adored the American beer business. A week ago, he passed away. My column today at @vinepair.com is a tribute to his lifelong passion for the trade, and a challenge to its leaders to hold close all that makes it unique.

This is probably one of the topics I hope to tackle in the local paper, ie how LLM evangelism is more about marketing and selling the promise of labor discipline than it is a utopian technology

I went deep on the history of everyone’s least favorite holiday: SantaCon www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

If you ask AI to describe its own writing style, it’ll say it’s too smooth, too neutral. “In fact, this is not even remotely true. A.I. writing is marked by a whole complex of frankly bizarre rhetorical features that make it immediately distinctive… It’s not smooth or neutral at all—it’s weird.”

And here’s my Khruangbin review www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...

Big vibes at the Khruangbin on Saturday night

I have been threatening to write this essay for ~2 years thank you to @supermarke.bsky.social @48hills.bsky.social and @litquake.org for hosting an event that finally made me write it

It should go without saying, but please don't use Chat GPT to write pitch emails

I'm getting a ton of pitches right now, which is great, but almost every one is about a big subject without a specific angle. For some pitching tips here's a real old thread I wrote x.com/dannosphere/...

Hey Bluesky got any book recs? Both fiction and non-fiction may apply

Here's a PITCH CALL for the #freelancewriters out there. I'm looking for Bay Area stories on venues, characters, trends and historical stories, TV/movies/music with SF ties. $250-$400+. Email me with an angle, not just a topic, and include a headline. cc @studyhall.bsky.social Here's examples... 🧵

The Bay Area Maker Faire was this weekend at Vallejo's Mare Island. Makers showed off robots, drones and all sorts of unusual forms of locomotion. Presentations taught aspiring makers from 2 to 92 how to get started building their own wild inventions.

Despacio is happiness

Few @sfgate.com stories have generated as much feedback as Charles Russo's discovery of a set of lost Ansel Adams photos that were never before seen by the general public and unknown to even his biographers and archivists. We figured some of it might be worth sharing: www.sfgate.com/local/articl...
