Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over. They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote “fake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

TONIGHT! SF! Join us at Casements in the Mission for food, drinks, a live DJ set from @bff.fm, priceless gossip with journalists and indie music folks, tote bags… what more could you want, truly luma.com/f2jy4dho?tk=...

Our dog checks in for a little training treat about every half block on her walk. Imagine every time you leave your house, a giant pops an M&M in your mouth on demand as you go. Seems like a great way to live.

San Francisco! Come hang with @coyotemedia.org worker-owners and @bff.fm DJs on Tues December 2nd at Casements in the Mission. Drinks, swag, the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting indie media instead of outlets funded by shady billionaires, what more could you want luma.com/f2jy4dho?tk=...

Please no one tell the mayor that you can edit your videos' cover images.

I love when my phone pings me to let me know there's Rick Moranis news. Life affirming.

I know there's A Lot Going On but I would like to point out that this EO is the explicit position of, among many others elsewhere, the governor of California, the current and previous mayors of San Francisco, several (most?) of the board of supervisors, and all the uberrich who support them

Thinking about the time I tried to save money by ordering less expensive t-shirts for BFF.fm, and a DJ complained that Gildan chafes his nipples 🫥

Anonymous #KQED staff members voice concerns about company's layoffs and 15% reduction in force — in "open letters" posted around the station's San Francisco neighborhood. KQED's story on layoffs here: www.kqed.org/news/1204812...

Do kids even have reports due on space anymore?

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you. They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

very excited to be a founding worker-owner of COYOTE. Aiming for the things I miss about alt-weeklies (like writing fun shit & doing real investigative work at the same time) w/o the things I don’t miss (vulture publishers who knew nothing about the Bay Area or journalism and seemingly hated women)

New NIMBY law just dropped. Mayor Lurie wants to ban RV parking anywhere in SF. Along with YIMBY Supervisor Mahmood’s proposed ban on new homeless shelters, the war on the poor is raging in San Francisco.

Pssst! Any alt-weekly fans out there? Sign up to get the scoop on this Big Secret Project 👀 comingsoon.coyotemedia.org

I really only come on here to attempt to feel the old earthquake Twitter feeling again

Today I met the creator of the Vaillancourt Fountain and also taught @elisabethnicula.bsky.social that if Mario ever stops her at 4th and Mission, E-40's favorite word is "beeitch!"

Accessible merchandise on the shelves, Michael Bolton blasting on the speakers, and Tom Cruise on magazine covers...have I entered a time portal or the Diamond Heights Walgreens?

Back on my bullshit aka filling in @chrisarvinsf.bsky.social's map, but this time by walking the main thoroughfares and only adding streets I see with my own eyes. This is what I got from walking the length of Mission St. (with an H Mart side quest)

Midnight Run is my favorite bromantic comedy

Feeling seen by this @missionlocal.org piece. I once overheard a pharmacy tech say that she had been working for 14 hours straight because there simply wasn't any way to stop without making things even worse. Fuck (and I mean this with my whole chest) Walgreens missionlocal.org/2025/04/sf-w...

My toxic trait is that I really think Ben Affleck and I could hang

There are many online fulfillment and logistics platforms, but only one is perfectly named: Shippo

Forrest got up on a ladder to adjust the string lights in our yard and when he came down he said "If you climb up you can see right into [weird tech dad neighbor]'s backyard." That's love.

Sneezed in my kitchen. Heard my next door neighbor outside respond "bless you." 🥴

An important thing to know about my life right now is that I bought 40lbs of sand and I thought that would be a lot/enough, but it's not

Feeling very relieved by this take not only because it eloquently expresses how I was feeling about it, but also because this is how I found out this grotesque is only temporary.

I heard a jet flying over so I looked up at the sky but all I saw was a seagull gliding by. Except now, infinitely more badass, because I'm imagining him making fighter jet sounds

You can totally see how this mf bankrupted a casino.

SF is so wild because what do you mean this is just a random view from my walk to Walgreens?

Last night I got to experience Mulholland Dr. the way nature and Lynch intended. In a packed theatre with a guy next to me muttering "what the fuck?" the entire time.

I think I just did the most aging hipster thing ever, which is buy a now-considered-vintage American Apparel zip front off a Gen Zer on Depop because it's the only hoodie I like

If I apply for a job and you have time to add me to your newsletter because of it, you also have time to acknowledge my application

A younger kid on the bus used the word skibidi and an older kid started calling him "iPad baby." (At least some of) the kids are alright.

The longer I'm around the more I appreciate my random lackluster state college degree

Mass murder of Palestinians has been a bipartisan political project for a long time and it is U.S. government policy as a whole which must be opposed in this arena. And, as we've seen, trying to hold to this bipartisan pro-genocide position is again weakening resistance to Trump (see e.g. Schumer)

I also experienced the earthquake

Walton Goggins is supremely talented, but what really sticks with me is how perfectly he drops old ass as Uncle Baby Billy. I am haunted by his moves.

Had to do some in-person bank business at SF Fire Credit Union and y'all, make the switch. You can still use regular ATMs! They have La Croix in the lobby!

Incredible backyard drama playing out this morning. The crows have treed the backyard bully cat in a ginko and are now messing with him.

Today, because I am very normal, I put on episode 2 of Shoresy and wrote down all of Goody's lines

Can someone worth $100m be considered "far left?" I mean, certainly not without any sort of clearly stated policy positions.

If you've ever cooed "Daddy Newsom," this is what you're simping for. But honestly it was already a bad look when you were simping for the king of the sweeps

Put up a 50 foot mesh man hanging dong, you cowards.

Having your own website is not going to fix democracy, or capitalism, but it makes a political statement. It says "I want to carve my own space on the web" and I think this is a radical act. It was when I originally said this in 2022, and I mean it even more today. localghost.dev/blog/this-pa...

I encountered two separate protests just taking the 49 bus to Geary and back today. So morale boosting!
