I think Shoresy is exactly what everyone tried to say Ted Lasso was. It has so much heart, and Jared Keeso has developed a charity out of it. So heartwarming 😭

Not trying to burst any bubbles; but Spotify is over.

They are airing ICE recruitment ads, the CEO has been investing in military/AI tech, they barely pay their artists; sometimes a percentage of a cent per stream, they promote β€œfake/AI artist” playlists, and there’s major concerns about data use.

Our dog checks in for a little training treat about every half block on her walk. Imagine every time you leave your house, a giant pops an M&M in your mouth on demand as you go. Seems like a great way to live.

I love when my phone pings me to let me know there's Rick Moranis news. Life affirming.

I once meant to say "flagrant" but instead said "flatulent" and I think about it regularly. This was 30 years ago.

I can't. They record outside of the studio so they have the files.

Photograph of a magazine on a rough wood surface. The magazine cover is gray-blue with black handpainted text that reads San Francisco Review of Whatever. Red text reads Issue Two, 2025. A red angled line contains and divides these texts.

When Dijital Fix was on Valencia I asked why their high end headphones on display to try on weren't connected to sound. They gave me an iPod to test them all and it turns out this is basically why. There was no perceptible difference between better than ok headphones and the top of the line

I know there's A Lot Going On but I would like to point out that this EO is the explicit position of, among many others elsewhere, the governor of California, the current and previous mayors of San Francisco, several (most?) of the board of supervisors, and all the uberrich who support them

Anyway, in these unprecedented times, you're going to have to deal with a little extra nipple discomfort from your community radio station

as someone who witnessed this, he wasn't just attending, he was there attempting to film content, which is especially disingenuous given that he refused to raise the trans flag for Pride this year

If "AI" was as valuable as they say it is, they wouldn't be selling it to you. They'd be using it themselves in secret to make the next Minecraft, the next Avatar, the next Hello Kitty and then they'd sell that to you.

They're trying to sell you a sick goose, while pretending it lays golden eggs.

very excited to be a founding worker-owner of COYOTE. Aiming for the things I miss about alt-weeklies (like writing fun shit & doing real investigative work at the same time) w/o the things I don’t miss (vulture publishers who knew nothing about the Bay Area or journalism and seemingly hated women)

New NIMBY law just dropped. Mayor Lurie wants to ban RV parking anywhere in SF.

Along with YIMBY Supervisor Mahmood’s proposed ban on new homeless shelters, the war on the poor is raging in San Francisco.
