years ago my partner gave me the cursed gift of the 5000 piece ravensberger jigsaw puzzle of this painting. i did finish it but am still basically angry that this painting exists. the dog is good though

wow the spam texts are bad enough but definitely not cool with "Colin Allred recently imported your email address from another platform to Substack."

San Francisco is getting a bunny cafe www.instagram.com/bunnycafesan...

now do colbert

Mayor Daniel Lurie’s West Side zoning plan is, in large part, a result of Scott Wiener’s legislation, which forces cities to accept more luxury housing with no money for the infrastructure of affordable units that San Francisco needs.

happy fall equinox!

i cannot get over this anecdote bsky.app/profile/goth...

the thing where people pinch the lavalier mics instead of just using the lil clippy part makes it look exactly like they are holding on to the end of the joint while making some point instead of smoking it

my favorite part about this profile about Manny (of Manny's) running for supervisor is how it starts out with Manny immediately disclaiming any connection to the abundance movement almost certainly because it's been linked to Peter Thiel funding recently sfstandard.com/2025/09/19/m...

if the equinox is at 11 am ish does that mean it is still summer for another couple of hours?

Huge news here today in Egypt: President Sisi pardons Alaa Abd El-Fattah after years of imprisonment & repeated hunger strikes.

Apparently she told their 3 year old daughter that Charlie is on a work trip with Jesus to afford the toddler’s blueberry habit and there are at minimum four levels of fucked in how she handled that

fun things to think about for earth bsky who are not back asleep yet

welp i guess i really should get that quake supply kit together one of these days (soon)

cats are so very unimpressed

that was a big shake

whee middle of the night earthquake

some people think the Fog has a name but I just think it has a capital f

i can tell my cat wants me to build him a blanket fort to nap in when he stares at the blanket like it is a puzzle that is very important to solve which if he can just work out the spatial geometry where the cave exists he will finally be able to rest

a very good local bakery makes a fancy pop tart knockoff (yay) but apparently the pop tart today had a grape and cream cheese filling and just knowing this is hurting my brain

this is stuck in my head today for some reason www.youtube.com/watch?v=POZN...

spotted this a couple of days ago and pleased to report that it is as incredible as it looks

🦦 Be aware. PSA: A sea otter shell-ebration is sweeping social media next week! Text📲OTTERMEDIA to 54159 to opt into Aquarium texts and stay hip to the coolest sea otter content all week long.

what a shameful embarrassment to see so few california dems on this list

apparently the newest craze in sf ai corporate advertising is inspired by *checks notes* the toasted sub shop advertising on our local lovable schizophrenic’s paranoia posterboard missionlocal.org/2025/09/s-f-...

maybe we didn’t have a song of the summer but we definitely got a song of the year

Which muppet will she be

'seth rogan's muppet show special' is probably the most delightful collection of words i have encountered in quite some time

my favorite part about this article was the person who took a farewell drive on the last day and describes a relationship that people have with driving their cars on this specific piece of road (that is falling into the ocean)

1776 The Presidio of San Francisco is founded in New Spain.

Art Agnos tore down the Embarcadero Freeway and for this was eternally damned by Chinatown (lost reelection). To defeat cars in San Francisco sometimes requires sacrificing a white man.

Scaffolding is coming down this week on the Mission Branch Library renovation project, revealing beautifully restored wooden window frames and decorative terra cotta on the historic building. Public Works is managing construction on behalf of the @sfpubliclibrary.bsky.social.

This report from @esksf.bsky.social in @missionlocal.org is so good! Love the detail about how the mayor spent yesterday “observing ‘improved‘ tennis courts at McLaren Park with Swiss 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer.” missionlocal.org/2025/09/joel...

my "the president has a fridge full of blood following him around at all times" t-shirt is answering a lot of questions raised by my "no, the president is not an undead vampire lich-king" t-shirt

i was just explaining to the fella how the meaning of the term crash out has changed and this is the most perfect example

do you remember when new outlets would embed tweets in their stories online & people would change their twitter username or alter their content so that it pointed out how their post was used without consent or misrepresenting what they originally intended? do you have... screenshots. or examples

my partner has been saying this about kaiser: you know the vaccine works because there is no way they would give it away to everyone if it wasn’t saving them money in the long run

wtf dave min katie porter would never

Oh, wow. A true Angeleno. "It’s hard to believe now, but the pier almost disappeared entirely in the 1970s. Had it not been for a ragtag group of locals fighting the cause, with a little help from high-profile luminaries like Robert Redford, the pier would not exist today."

For everyone who downloaded Neko Atsume 2 yesterday -- make sure you get today's update with seasonal goodies. You too can have a jack o'lantern that eats cats!

look at it so freaking wholesome I love it so much

save sunset dunes park and the most wholesome moments you will ever see

San Francisco is funny because they will legitimately be like “how dare you give us a park near a beach!!!???”

this is interesting reporting on a very charged subject from @missionlocal.org

Peter Thiel gets roasted to hell & back in this amazing @sfstandard.com story. Pro Tip: Thiel should fire his entire staff—and all of his dumb friends—for allowing him to pursue this fanatical fiasco! Great reporting by @eshugs.bsky.social and Garrett Leahy. sfstandard.com/2025/09/16/p...

so apparently there are some serious gaps in my movie watching history and now i have to watch sneakers and the sting and butch cassidy and the candidate all immediately tonight so that is going to be difficult
