there is nothing more humbling than getting passport photos taken
San Francisco Chronicle
March 5, 1926: Chorus line dancer Vernoghn Garrett is about to go onstage at a San Francisco theater when a calcium stage light ignites her flimsy costume. She is badly burned about her arms but says, “I’m lucky to be alive.”
I love to complicate people’s relationship to “Solsbury Hill” by telling them that this seemingly cheesy, square song from innumerable rom-com movie trailers is in 7/4
Aaaaah! 😳
As I said last night, the strangest things is just how fast the nostalgia cycle is moving! I graduated HS in 2004 and my class might have had a 60s, 70s, or 80s-themed spirit day, but we’d never have had a 1994 Day.
Are you at the Bay School? Last night I ran into a friend who teaches there & he told me they’re having a “2016 spirit day” next week, which blew both of our minds.
And if this is instead at an SFUSD school where you sub—that’s even more wild, that means there’s MULTIPLE of them!
Hey this is the most insane concept ive ever heard of
you know, if the government’s going to fund theater for the public to enjoy, it would have cost a hell of a lot less to just do a new WPA
Iranians really missed a chance to pick a guy named Khumenei just to really fuck with people
Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states
The name's Les. Les Miserables. Falsely accused? Unjustly imprisoned? If you've got the bread, you've got a lawyer.
This is all downstream of the fact that the gulf war (look it up) was a huge ratings hit
And Saoirse Ronan will also finally win that year, on her 12th try, for playing the other Lady Bird 😀
that they have kept their relationship intensely private to the point that this is how we find out is probably the best sign they might actually make it
anyway, rules are rules, here is the exact moment she fell in love
I think the last time the USA created regime change solely through bombing was in Cambodia, when a massive carpet bombing campaign so destabilized the country that the Khmer Rouge came to power and wiped out the Royal government—the American ally. Genocide followed.
In case you need a distraction, Bohemian Grove’s membership list leaked: sfstandard.com/2026/02/25/n...
The Denzel Washington MACBETH is the superior film adaptation. Washington and Frances McDormand are so good as Macbeth and Lady Macbeth. Their relationship feels so real and “lived in,” which makes the inevitable bloody spiral all the more tragic.
there are so many books on my “due for a reread” list so I’m copping out a bit here by saying Sense & Sensibility, merely because I need to reread it soon for a friend’s book discussion at the end of March. I do think it’d be good for a cozy reading vacation though!
Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it
The mercury did not drop below 61 in S.F. this morning. If that held through midnight, it would tie a February record for high minimum temp. Alas, a cool breeze this evening should drop temps to the 50s.
However, a Feb. 27 record high min temp (58F) was set. SF's warmest winter night since 2015.
This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t
I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.
The "debate" in the run-up to this makes Iraq 2003 look like the Athenian polis.
i always get emotional about recovered lost films but you guys
spoiler alert lol (it’s 45 sec if you wanna click thru & see) but seemingly the first robot in film is a clown, who then gets smashed into nonexistence with a sledgehammer
this literally may have to be on page one of my dissertation
underground art is important (and important to ME personally) but a world where nobody ever gets a big budget to take a big weird swing is still massively depressing
This one wins.
TIL that saying "you bet" is exactly of the same vintage as "I'm your huckleberry" yet only one is seen as just normal American English
One of the most influential American plays of this century! Boots Riley is turning it into a film playbill.com/article/boot...
not sure how I feel about an all-male “As You Like It” but having just played Celia in Bay Area Bar Shakes’ production, I think it’s kinda cool they announced casting for Celia before announcing Orlando or indeed any of the male roles
