Rahawa the GOAT!!!

As a parent, what other response can there be aside from: free the children?!

Sorry we can dance

If you want to learn more about Bad Bunny’s music and activism, have to recommend this new book P FKN R. It’s awesome. I learned so much: www.kqed.org/forum/201010...

I am in Japantown with four very hype 10-year-old girls for my daughter’s birthday. Wish me luck.

Just got in at the highest tier. They truly are doing things no one else is and it is glorious. LFG!

FEAR ME

The longer I've gone in journalism, the more I think I underestimated how important the institutional knowledge inside newspapers really was. Newspaper reporters and editors *knew the place* and their combined knowledge is irreplaceable.

If I had to hold up the most heavily fortified bank in America, I'd take a gang of poets. The attempt would probably end in disaster, but it would be beautiful. - Roberto Bolaño, "The Best Gang" (translated by Natasha Wimmer)

When I nuked my Twitter account a few years ago, I did not think there would ever be a replacement. I was mostly happy about that. But I realized this week that Bluesky has become that replacement. And I’m still conflicted.

Ashé Ashé Ashé. And so many others… Charlotta Bass survielled and harassed by the FBI for her reporting, A Philip Randolph and Chandler Owen arrested for writing an editorial that Black men should resist the draft. It is why I write that Black journalists are canaries in the coal mine in my book

YES (AFFIRMATIVE)

Still waiting for the paleo diet people to swear off all the columbian exchange ingredients their ancestors never had access to

This is fascinating! Are e-commerce (profit) expectations too high? www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the...

Anyone know the best hikes outside Tucson?

moral arc right to repair

This is incredible… and quite sad.

Man, I love Muni. That’s how you know I’m in the bag for San Francisco. Just sitting on the N enjoying being with the the city. What a place, what a people!

This is wild.

Concur!

Working on our show this AM about increasing health insurance premiums thanks to the Republican budget bill, so I was looking at the Bipartisan Policy Center analysis: Bigger deficit. More money for immigration enforcement/ICE & the military. Cuts to SNAP, student loans, Medicaid. Stark choice.

Ultra rare appearance as a poet on this bill with real poets

This is so good

Oh man!

You see, a restaurant is a food dispenser. The hard part is definitely coming up with the right fast casual concept.

On some other timeline, this would dominate the news for months. And for good reason!

Excuse me, sir, this is a grocery store!

Got to say hello to them, too. Very exciting project!

Craziest cloud phenomenon over the Golden Gate. They’ve lined up just so as to produce the illusion of a different ridge line.

Also worth noting this is about 2 days worth of American oil consumption, despite MILLION being in all caps.

Turned my phone screen grayscale — and I have to say. This shit works. Using this thing is gruesome now. So: Apparently the whole reason using a phone is enjoyable is … bright colors moving under your fingertips?

Man. Whew.

Wrapped up the draft of a project I’ve had hanging over my head for many months. The relief is intense! Just the long long exhale of the overcommitted.

On about 10 days of mostly unplugging from social media things, esp. Instagram, and I feel ground down a bit more into the larger rhythms of existence. What escape vertical video and parasociality are… perfect for anxious, unsettled times.

Made a persimmon upside down cake. (I am a cook, not a baker.) Please clap.

Love this place. This might be my favorite view in San Francisco.

In case you missed this on Friday, at @unbreaking.org we updated our trans healthcare explainer with a timeline (100+ events) and a totally rewritten explainer (20k words, 150+ footnotes) to help people understand the many diverse attacks on gender affirming care, and where they currently stand:

Beautiful day up in the Berkeley hills!

@nilsgilman.bsky.social man, that Anil Seth conversation was brilliant. Just the very center of the Venn diagram of stuff I’m most interested in… After I read Anil’s book, I almost packed up for Sussex to do graduate work before I came to my financial senses.

Shout out to the woman watching “how to know if he has a crush on you at work” TikToks as she rides in to work on BART You got this, sis.

It’s true. This is so good and interesting.

Man, preparing for a live conversation about I Who Have Never Known Men is complicated!!!!!

@jorge-morales.bsky.social so glad to have found you. Has your Subjectivity lab done research on consciousness while people are hiking or trail running? (He asks hopefully!)

One of the things I love about being a community-focused media outlet is the freedom we have to pursue little leads that turn into big stories. This piece from @reveleth.com touches on so many critical Qs, including: What historic cultural artifacts should be preserved, and at what cost? 1/3

In case anyone wants to buy me (or your favorite other person) a present ... I just stumbled on this hat company and who doesn't want a pillbox hat?? weareborntoroam.com/collections/...

Ah man, I missed the earthquake

Excuse me, sir, have you seen the LIGHT OF OUR STAR POURING FORTH THROUGH THE BRANCHES?

I can't believe Swiss cheese used to be my favorite cheese. Childhood taste buds are wild.
