A year ago, San Francisco Voters turned a stretch of highway on its western border into a public park. Because its opponents do not believe any election counts if you don't get the results you want, they've been trying to dismantle it since. Here are the (paltry) results of their bogus claims.
Let's talk about stage presence for a moment...
This is Heavy D doing his own theme song for IN LIVING COLOR
in 1 minute (that's right 60 seconds) he
drops 3 verses
Dances
Hi Fives the DJ
hypes up the crowd
then poses with the flygirls at the end on a dime
IN ONE MINUTE!
A "Virgin River" is a 21st century update of a concept I call "A Becker" which is a tv show you had no idea existed but that actually has 6 seasons under its belt.
Jeez, no joke. This skates dangerously close to a young San Franciscan being like Oct. 89. The World Series! Wasn't that a time?
Gourmet Magazine is now worker-owned and AI slop free. There's possibly multiple recipes for eating the rich. It also lowers your blood pressure when you read nice things people write about food. gourmetmagazine.net
Ok this is first-rate news. I just found out my hometown has a black bookstore blackstonebookstore.com
There's going to be a Season 2 of BEEF: Different actors, same dark premise of a conflict that no one will de-escalate.
If you are a liberally-minded American over the age of 40, someone will likely pass this along to you i.e. the "Sweetgreens is the A24 of dining" newsletter.
TL:DR it is making an important point...badly.
Who is this "Mick-Art-Knee" fellow you speak of?
I think you are right :(
Maybe the clearer version of what I’m asking is “how do we determine as a culture” what are consequences? And is part of the exhaustion is that we have no clear sense of when the consequences have been served?
Certainly. But there’s also a “when has justice been served?” Question. Derek Chuvin has been convicted of murder and sentenced to a length prison sentence. Is that justice served or only if say he got the death sentence? It is impossible to stay vigilant if there’s no ending to an unjust act
What is the "it" that can end? (you are running into my initial ditwittedness/slow learning here)
"The most recent New Pornographers album is a bit disappointing" -- The whitest, most Gen X thing I have said/thought in many years.
Pressing thought this morning: People who lack accountability have often never paid any consequences for their misdeeds. Could this be because enforcing punishment/consequences is exhausting and the miscreant can just fight a war of attrition until the other party gives up?

Because I clearly cannot help myself, my annual Facebook discussion of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Nominees has begun. We die on mole hills at dawn.
I feel like it gets a bad rap b/c of its production. I humbly diasgree with said bad rap.
Inspired by my pal @danyelsmith.bsky.social 's recent research on great musical duets, I submit

The Bay Area: Birthplace of the slot machine, the popsicle, the Black Panthers, blue jeans and Alycia Liu.
We win.
I hope the explanation for this isn't "Because only rich people read this publication" (via @mediagazer.com )
Meet the lady who was a hero to a couple of nobodies named Chuck Berry and Johnny Cash.
We've reached the moment in history where I have now sat through a graduation speech the speaker copied from ChatGPT. Spoiler: It sounded like it in person too..
There's going to a be a new documentary about IRON MAIDEN. Will this be the thing that gets them into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
And the legendary queen Donna Summer one hopes...
Happy Paczki Day to all who celebrate!
