The San Francisco Public Library picked my first novel, The Survivalists (Black lawyer falls in with some Black brooklynite doomsday preppers) as their Jan/Feb ‘26 On The Same Page pick, so I’ll be talking about it at the main SF library this Sunday 2/22 at 3 pm. Come through!

good morning there are dudes in baseball outfits on my skyline does this portend the return of darth pls

so i just discovered that indivisible has a weekly online meeting in second life and not quite sure what to do with that information but if you are curious for whatever reason you can sign up here www.mobilize.us/mobilize/eve...

Not quite sure what category of "very bad people" a 66 year old Russian national nanny with a work permit and a visa overstay falls into. www.kron4.com/news/bay-are...

last week tonight is back today (yay?)

finding out that you can do diamond painting on books just may be a life changing discovery

A BOOK BEDAZZLING WORKSHOP???????????????????? 😍

if you are sick in bed with covid and a fever please just take another day off and rest instead of trying to use ai to make your job easier

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year. youtu.be/i1savUPr-yU

there is a reason this song is such a catchy earworm

catching up on the figure skating and the announcer really buries the lede when he says the first couple skating in the pairs event are the first armenian team at the olympics since 2002. (spoiler: they are both russian)

my san francisco pattern recognition bias is assuming everyone walking around with their phones out are probably just keeping an eye on their bluesky

channeling my frustration at the universe into sending pointless user feedback comments into the void at google attaching giant summary boxes that literally just repeat the subject of the email and including the line "do you think I am stupid because I am not stupid"

Larry the cat celebrates 15 years as the British government’s official rodent-catcher and unofficial first feline, a reassuring presence who has served under six prime ministers. Sometimes it seems like they have served under him.

well the bottom half of sutro tower is looking good anyway

this is absolutely what the guy who greenlighted the ring ad also thought

Lots of enthusiasm and support from passersby outside at lunchtime! #SanFrancisco

they are talking about the castro theater on @kqedforum.bsky.social and in the intro described it as “no longer just a movie house” as though that was a bad thing to be

Dying at how aggressive Tom Steyer comes off in this narrative video of the San Francisco Teachers' strike.

Oh look, just another “moderate” project, not a techno-fascist billionaire thing, nope

that is ridiculous and abusive. they are adults taking part in collective bargaining, not hostages

In California, the right-wing tech billionaires behind Trump are funding a gubernatorial candidate named Matt Mahan. Leading the pack: Joe Lonsdale, the Palantir co-founder who recently said the USA should resume public hangings. Why is he funding a Democrat? www.thenerdreich.com/palantir-for...

there are few things this city needs less than garry’s list

good news everyone, our local supervisor/police spokesman guy says equity concerns are less prevalent today!

cute how the techbro running to replace nancy pelosi is posting videos complaining about “my opponent” as though it was just the two dudes in the race

This is my friend Nico’s shop and I love her so much

New on @indicator.media: I speak to San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu about his office's landmark lawsuit against 22 AI nudifiers.

my big takeaway from @emmaruthless.bsky.social's SFUSD strike diary: anyone trying to tell you it's families vs. teachers is trying to sell you a load of crap www.coyotemedia.org/area-teacher...

Generation Oregon Trail ascending

"However this shakes down, this is not a chapter that makes either of these California politicians look ready for the US House of Representatives, and certainty not for the Presidency of the United States."

all this living on the moon talk but we all know that ernie settled this question already

Across the country, teachers earn less than professionals w/ similar levels of education. In the Bay—home of revolutionary tech & their high salaries—the pay disparity hits teachers esp hard. @nadrakn.bsky.social reporting on my hometown & connecting it to a nat'l trend: 19thnews.org/2026/02/san-...

seeing the word colorway around all of a sudden and is this a word that people just say now because it feels very much like a marketing word that has escaped containment

Emma here. Massive turnout at SF Civic Center rn in support of UESF and the teachers strike. Teachers, principals, parents, students.

figure skating is my all time favorite olympic sport and i wish i could enjoy ice dancing but find the lack of jumping and throwing and lifting almost physically painful to watch

Sending love to all the #SanFrancisco teachers, here’s hoping the SFUSD decides to end the strike soon by offering a fair package. Info on how to support striking teachers: wecantwait.info/parents/uesf

there is a tragic lack of sparkles in the mens figure skating competition today

All San Franciscans should be raging mad at SFUSD leadership right now. The stalemate with the teachers union is just part of an attack on the city's public education. The budget woes are exaggerated to the point of misinformation. Teachers separately funded with state money are being eliminated.

humans do not host the Muppet Show, Kermit the Frog hosts the Muppet Show! there i said it, i got it off my chest

discussing this point last night, with me clearly struggling with how to phrase this, the dude helpfully suggested the word ‘weinermanship’

omg this is a thing that exists as documentation of the prisencolinensinainciusol glitch day www.jigidi.com/zh/solve/7ve...

this opening ceremony is so very italian it is completely mesmerizing

The connections among Epstein, AI oligarchs, cognitive scientists, eugenicists, misogynists, rapists, and outright fascists are so strong it's stunning that they are not outlined in every account of AI development and deployment. If you are bullish on AI you might want to check yourself.

this is amazing

i had a whole detailed description of how hamnet sounds exactly like a muppet show sketch companion to pigs in space / veterinarian's hospital so when pigs in wigs started i really thought i was hallucinating for a second there

there will 100% be more reporters and hecklers at this event than anything else

i keep seeing stories like this and getting profoundly confused for several seconds because wait what there is no super bowl in san francisco

but i thought 6 7 was retired this year in the great meme reset

With the new Muppet Show special, Seth Rogen and company finally did the thing every Muppets fan has been asking for forever: They just made The Muppet Show again. My review:
