Just a lycanthrope on the internet

I occasionally forget one way streets & no left turns, but that's city living

Using a real map to get around San Francisco is faster & less stressful than GPS. I memorize a few turns & then there's no stress listening to the incessant chatter from a machine. I pay more attention to my driving as well.

Why the fuck did she have to agree to this? "As part of the deal, Commisso... agreed that she won’t seek employment in the governor’s office through 2030."

Every time someone invokes mom and pop landlords to argue against eviction protections, I want to scream: when do we talk about the mom and pop tenants? When is it time to care about the mom and pop tenants that landlords are throwing out on the street?

Bus conductors who took your fare and gave you a ticket on the bus.

A poster for the movie "Club Zero." In the center is Mia Wasikowska in a purple short sleeve shirt. She is sitting facing the camera with her hands clasped in her lap. She has a slight smile. Sitting around her are the actors who portray her pupils in the movie. They all wear identical yellow short sleeve shirts with tan shorts. They all face the camera with expressionless looks on their faces. One pupil looks at Wasikowska adoringly.

Barely half way through the year, but I already have a candidate for the most bizzarest movie I've watched in 2025: Club Zero

I'm so sorry this has happened. I hope she has a speedy recovery and is zooming around again soon.

I also give Catalina chicken and rice when she gets an upset tummy. I buy boneless, skinless chicken and simmer it before I chop it up. I can open the package and slide it into the pot without touching it. Less slime! I cook the rice in the same water that I cooked the chicken in.

A naive but genuine question: why does NYC need a week to complete rank choice vote tallies? Here is SF, we get updates each evening that include RCV results for all ballots counted that day.

Public transit should be far-reaching, frequent, fast and free. I don't know what that would cost in San Francisco, but that should be our target funding level.

I can't imagine ever needing or wanting to talk to a fridge.

Fuck Daniel Lurie

San Francisco public media would be eviscerated by Trump’s proposed cuts Trump's latest rescission proposal would eliminate $30 million of money for public media stations in San Francisco.

How much money would President Trump vacuum away from San Francisco public media with his punishing cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting?

Who's complaining?

So, no new public funding

I haven't read the bill, but I bet it doesn't include any new, sustainable funding for affordable housing.

Too bad Lurie is destroying public transit in SF.

And Libby!

The moon landings in the '60s were the result of Kennedy-Khrushchev egotistical chest-thumping. Now, robotic spacecraft can do anything humans in space can do at a fraction of the cost and with no risk of loss of life Pursuing human spaceflight is asinine.
