people use them for man on the street interviews and they sound SO bad they are just not designed to be held make it stop

we gotta stop with the tiny microphones. get a full size mic like an ADULT. you look like you’re at tea with a mouse

reading the mamdani font memes like they are teenage mutant ninja turtles memes works way better than you’d think it would

still just so blown away by this story!

what an exciting next chapter for the cliff house, which will be in the hands of a neighborhood nonprofit group! never expected such a happy ending to this story so this is amazing to see: www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

in high school after the ap bio test we watched the 1980s bbc movie race for the double helix, in which jeff goldblum plays james watson in such an iconic performance we all became obsessed with jeff goldblum. apparently watson was a pretty terrible dude but his biopic was amazing

so apparently the new mayor of sf, who has no political experience, gave the open supervisor seat to a 29 year old music teacher / entrepreneur with no political experience because she walked up to him at a night market and asked for the job, which is truly wild and rather unsettling!

that's funny! nicokow.bsky.social says she is a pragmatic progressive but instantly blocked me for responding to a comment suggesting that my current state senator is not actually all that progressive

A shrewd political strategist, California Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had an unprecedented career in Congress. First elected in a special election in 1987, Pelosi went on to become one of the most effective leaders of the Democratic party. n.pr/4oNT0F6

please someone tell me there is someone good to run for the pelosi seat and not just state senator hotdog (d-developer lobbyist) or a tech engineer millionaire, why can we not have good political things here

just don’t believe that jacob from abbott elementary is not on bsky

Focus group behind two-way glass. Pete watches as the moderator asks, "Would it upset you if someone congratulated Mamdani in a tweet?"

I'm REALLY looking forward to a bunch of San Francisco politicians and candidates who have eagerly embraced centrist pro-landlord pro-developer pro-car pro-big-money policies desperately rush to walk back their betrayals and recast themselves as local versions of Mamdani before the 2026 elections.

based exclusively on mamdani vibes, it looks like schumer is done as senate leader and so the clear replacement would be senate minority leader warren

this was fun. let’s do it again.

Zohran’s win offers the Bay Area a glimpse at a better future — one where we’re not locked in a room with Gavin Newsom for another four years.

not needing to wait weeks to count all the california ballots is huge! so exciting!

those poor pinch-held lavalier mics are no match for the excitement of the mamdani parties, somebody send hellgate some donations for some real microphones stat

Apparently all you needed to do to predict the NYC election results was read that one N.K. Jemisin novel.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

listening to a profile of zohran mamdani and it occurs to me that his story is ultimately yet another example of the theater to politics pipeline and on an intergenerational level even which is amazing

LAPD literally getting there early to beat the crowds

for some reason it did not even occur to me that this was unusual like why wouldn't they have the sunset dunes heart in the middle of game 7 of the world series that is a perfectly normal thing to see

am i the last person to find out about this song they play in toronto during the seventh inning stretch instead of the national anthem www.youtube.com/watch?v=qag6...

this meant so much to see for the very small version of myself who still remembers how my wonderoos were in a way the most powerful clothes i ever owned

idk when everybody at baseball games started woah oh-oh-oh woahing that white stripes song but it is the worst thing and so creepy, baseball people never really did that kind of british soccer chant-singing before and it hurts my brain
