reviewed katseye's sf debut at bill graham last night. a lot went technically wrong, but i think the concert (and the group) was more interesting because of it sf.gazetteer.co/katseye-brou...

In the 1970s, a Bay Area couple started a business: Charge people for chats with professional conversationalists (and bottomless tea and coffee). It was panned at the time, but it feels prescient today. sf.gazetteer.co/conversation...

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October. She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE. “They’re failing all of us,” his mom said. thebarbedwire.com/2025/11/24/d...

i am back on the becca bloom beat and i am amazed it has taken this long for her to get any kind of backlash for her obscene performance of wealth

unfortunately the funniest olivia nuzzi thing is that popjustice tore her debut pop single to shreds

love south korea. love hearing scissor sisters in an irish themed pub in itaewon. smiling through it all

“this is not a dating app. this is not a friend-making service. this is not networking. this is not mindless scrolling. this is not random. this is not the metaverse. this is not a distraction.” Then what is it, exactly? @livpeluso.bsky.social went to find out. sf.gazetteer.co/pay-to-play

Part of the statement from the @transjournalists.org on reporting details of the the Charlie Kirk shooting investigation. Full statement here: www.transjournalists.org/tja-urges-ca...

In the aftermath of the killing of Charlie Kirk, @eddiekimx.bsky.social ruminated on his time at Kirk's visit to SF State in May. Why are liberals like Gavin Newsom rushing to eulogize him, sans the reality of his violent message? Free gift link: sf.gazetteer.co/liberals-are...
