Anar-kitty Carlos says fuck the system, fuck the haters, and as always, ACAB.

What are we going to dive into this week?

Probably a breakdown of the ongoing debacle with our city council and local residents who hate people who use drugs, and also people who are unhoused.

Yep, we currently have no local shelter, extreme weather or otherwise. Cool, cool.

Bob Weir (1947-2026): Playing in the Band A tribute to Bob Weir, the guitarist who helped the Grateful Dead shift with the times, the thread that ties together Neal Cassady and John Mayer.

My latest newsletter: a tribute to Bob Weir, the guitarist who helped the Grateful Dead shift with the times, the thread that ties together Neal Cassady and John Mayer.

Singer John Mayer sings Grateful Dead’s “Ripple” during a public memorial for the band’s co-founder Bob Weir at Civic Center Plaza in San Francisco.

Bob Weir’s Feral Radiance The Grateful Dead guitarist had the nature of a well-meaning cowboy, and a lasting capacity to access wonder and deep engagement.

Bob Weir “had the nature of a polite and well-meaning cowboy, and a shy and understated charisma and grace,” Alec Wilkinson writes. “More than once, over the years, it occurred to me that he was the holy fool of the Grateful Dead.” newyorkermag.visitlink.me/nAtOOR
