After eight decades in obscurity, Diego Rivera’s S.F. masterpiece is getting its moment City College of San Francisco is breaking ground on a project that will finally give Diego Rivera’s massive “Pan American Unity” mural the permanent, public home it never had.

I have always liked this mural. My dad was a professor here & it was the back image on his business cards. www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/d...

The Academy Is announcing a new album in 2026 makes me hopeful for so many things. Not everything you love is lost for good. Sometimes things come back.

My mom once got to dance on stage with the Grateful Dead in Oakland & my dad claims friends paid them $100 to play their college dance in the 60's. If you are from Northern California Dead music/lore is woven into the fabric of our history.

We were lucky enough to see Dead & Co. in concert last year. It was my top concert of 2025. Grateful Dead music was the soundtrack to my early childhood. Thanks for all the memories Bob. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Why was a woman shot through the window of her car? Why had the gun even been pulled by the officer? WTF is going on here?

If it was because of narcotrafficking, why has Trump pardoned narcotraffickers? If it was because Maduro is an authoritarian (he is), why is Trump in love with Putin, nevermind Kim Jong-Un and Viktor Orban?

Episode 3 is so swoon worthy. It really shows what most modern romantic comedies are missing. I am totally here for a good meet cute and this episode provides.

If anyone is as obsessed with episode 3 of Heated Rivalry as I am then I highly recommend Midnight Texas. François Arnaud is the lead and you get supernatural spooky action.

With the announcement that Bottom of The Hill in SF is closing I have to share a video of one of my favorite bands playing there. I was at this @thematches.bsky.social show & love that I can revisit it online. youtu.be/ehQRWry6Vmg?...

This makes me so sad. My high school punk band got to play here once as an opener. That is a life moment I will never forget. Also saw many amazing shows here. Too many to count.

Devastating news. They will go down with Slims as my favorite SF venues. I played at BOTH once with my high school punk band. A life highlight I will never forget.

I don't understand the surprise in the press over Heated Rivalry & the success it is having. Look back to the Cumberbatch Sherlock or Red, White & Royal Blue.

Thus my holiday baking is mostly complete. It's fun being the dessert/breakfast person.

Cinnamon rolls, Pumpkin Basque cheesecake, & Honeynut squash cookies have been made. Cheesecake is 100% done, the other two just need to be baked.

This band blew me away live. At the time they were the loudest band I had seen in such a small venue & it was just two people. They should be bigger than The Black Keys.

Wearing a @thematches.bsky.social band shirt to bar trivia tonight. One of the questions was about the Guinness record for things shoved up someone's nose & the answer was matches. I did not guess that. 🤷

I think they just use that green color in all their videos so it's a funny coincidence.

Is it just me, or does this look like the A's fan sell logo? Funny to use that in a video about the Vegas Sphere not being super successful. They also clip Brodie in it.
