Can you haul a brass band on bikes to accompany your #BikeBus to school? For the third time, yes. Big thanks to all our volunteers and musicians!

Anybody know about (Uncanny) Frontier Valley??

The news of yet another death on our streets lands heavily on my heart today. The dominant environment permits and encourages speed, impatience and inattention by motorists who are increasingly driving heavier, deadlier vehicles. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/p...

Today I had my 5th Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for my serious #longCovid issues. Main thing is that it helps with my cognitive issues. If you want to learn about SGBs, my doctor, Dr Luke Liu, did a video. The SGB part stats at minute 22. vimeo.com/1084382051/f...

Hi #longCovid folks, have r posted in a while. But today I had quite a procedure. A dual Stellate Ganglion Block plus a dual Thoracic block. The SGB is my 4th and is for My cognitive issues. It increases blood flow to brain, which is why the right side of my head was much warmer after right side.

Oh, and in my latest #LongCovid news, a package with $300 of immune system supplements was swiped off my front steps. It was only there for 5 minutes. Delivery person didn’t bother to ring my doorbell. Sheesh. Somehow I don’t think the swipers are going to appreciate their ill gotten loot.

Is this an early April 1st joke?? Sounds like it. The legendary Toronado bar being bought by a bored apes DOGEbag and turned into a crypto bar?? sfstandard.com/2025/03/27/c...

Teen Vogue once again gets the seminal interview. Yes, Teen Vogue. www.teenvogue.com/story/vivian...

Wow, finally a good use for a Tesla, as done by Led By Donkeys. youtu.be/JKvxEKHySyE

No problem is too great to surmount

Well, that was quick. The only thing AI is good for is making really bad parody videos like this one. youtu.be/bQqxKKFvrLA?...

I luv me some Space Karen shadenfreude. Just 4 days after the second-in-a-row SpaceX Starship blew up, X crashed and Tesla stock dropped by over 15% in one day. Genius - NOT!

I know it’s an accurate article on the effects of COVID and #LongCovid when I have every single symptom described. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/10/w...

lol, from UK satirical magazine Private Eye

This is why we need more politicians who are trans. They can single handedly kill hateful anti-LGBTQ+ bills simply by talking about their families. Powerful. And the following speaker is really worth hearing as well. m.youtube.com/watch?si=bZe...

Some personal #LongCovid good news/bad news: I am now officially disabled with respect to *any* gainful employment. The good part is that I am incredible fortunate in that my company’s disability policy will continue paying me. Bad news is that my body is a wreck.

Apparently some orange clown gave a speech tonight about some alternate reality in his head. You of course don’t need to watch it. But you do need to watch Bernie Sanders’ great reply. www.youtube.com/live/QlrQKv1...

Wish folks would stop posting good news on Xitter instead of here. xrosspost.com/mgafni/statu...

@gilduran.com did you see that New Yorker actually used the term “Techno-Fascism” in the headline of a story today. I’m impressed! www.newyorker.com/culture/infi...

Must read interview with Ed Yong on life, #longCovid, and birdwatching. I have had great fortune to be part of Ed’s #longCovid bird watching outings where can commiserate with other #longCovid sufferers, at extremely slow pace, while enjoying the beauty of our world. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

How its going over on the hellsite... xrosspost.com/weirdotara/s...

How come you often don’t hear about the SpaceX screw ups? www.space.com/space-explor...

Thought it was an Onion parody article, but it turns out Elon Musk really found some serious fraud. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Damn, Mike Rizzi is the only other person from UCB engineering school who was totally into punk rock. Nicest music nerd ever. www.sfgate.com/culture-even...

Though it might be surprise, my doings sometime go beyond #LongCovid issues. Here is an op-Ed I wrote on transportation safety: sf.streetsblog.org/2025/02/11/o...

This nice pic of Leon has already had quite an effect on the Orange Menace. Someone is quite ticked off for being viewed as a putz.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

I’m so glad the World Bollard Association is now on BlueSky. They bring me such joy!

Do you know people who are still reluctant to leave the Xitter fascist hellsite and instead thrive on Bluesky? Well, let them know about the writeup helpBluesky.me that explains how to successfully leave the old site behind.

To every Tesla owner with buyer’s remorse: you already have other options for an all-electric ride you don’t have to drive — try a train, trolleybus, or cable car!

Sometimes need to crosspost Tweets to Bluesky, but you don't want the hassle of creating a screenshot? But you still want to provide a link to the original tweet to show that it is real and not photoshopped? Well, there is a new tool in town called xcrosspost.com . It makes crossposting so easy!

Damn. When I went to UC Berkeley I lived in a co-op where everyone had to do some work to keep costs low. I threw parties and washed dishes. Charles was studying architecture, but cooked a meal each week. Little did we know what his great cooking would lead to. www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...

The only important news of MLK day is that finally Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist, life sentence was commuted and will spend remaining time at home.

Trump family didn’t even wait till inauguration before doing their first official Ponzi scheme. This grift has already generated $58 million in transaction fees for them so they will have made huge amount of money even once the bubble pops and the buyers are shafted. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/19/u...

World premier of the latest John Adams piano concerto “After the fall”, performed by Víkingur Ólafsson. Fantastic, as expected. Review at datebook.sfchronicle.com/classical/jo...

200 musicians. Epic Orff “banger” symphony piece. Today I spent all day resting on the couch.

I can’t believe I’m rooting for one of the richest assholes in the world (since Space Karen Leon Musk is far worse). Spaced finally has some real competition! www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01...

Damn, not only this Sam & Dave performance even better, but the filming is spectacular. You just can’t do that with video. youtu.be/MdwdStBRDbw?...

Sam Moore of Sam & Dave passed away, at a ripe 89 years old. Here is a moment in 1966 where Sam & Dave showed us that Black music was the future. And I love how the bouncers freaked out when the audience finally stood up and started dancing. youtu.be/Fowldx4hRtI?...

This pretty much sums up the case for the Congestion Relief Zone that began in Manhattan today.

Congestion pricing started in NYC and all the drivers were so freaked out they didn’t drive there. Traffic was extremely light today compared to Sunday average.

From @deadder.bsky.social in support of @anntelnaes.bsky.social 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Joined a group of public transit enthusiasts excited for congestion pricing who sought to be the first people tolled by the program at midnight
