The San Francisco man with one of the internet's most viral faces It may be the most iconic blink on the internet.

"Maybe you thought the man behind the Blinking White Guy meme was a young Cary Elwes or an unknown actor from a stock video clip, but all along, he has walked among us right here in San Francisco."

True love is sending your friends who’ve deleted TikTok screen recordings of the videos that remind you of them.

Ohio’s new age verification law targeting porn goes into effect today, which means people will either have to use a VPN or submit their IDs to use Bluesky. This is Project 2025 in action. The goal is to limit freedom and make it harder to access anything remotely progressive

We really are. Contrary to Klein’s characterization of Coates as pessimistic, Coates is very inspiring to me.

I don’t think Klein and Coates are the same type of writer or that they have the same purpose within the political movement, and that’s okay. I agree with Coates that we all have different roles. What frustrates me is that Klein isn’t working beside the left right now so much as sabotaging it.

On the plus side I've never been as wrong about as many things as many days in a row as Ezra Klein

Ezra Klein: There's a Rick & Morty quote I really like.

Ezra Klein: It goes like this, "Why would a pop-tart want to live inside a toaster? That would be like the scariest place for them to live."

Ta-Nehisi Coates not saying anything

Ezra Klein: Because in the episode they go to a neighborhood where everyone is a pop-tart and they live in toaster-houses.

I know I am late to the discourse, but the Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ezra Klein discussion is fascinating. It really reveals the degree to which historocism is anathema to the logic of the average liberal intellectual who wants to take all historical conditions for granted and work from there.

One of my takeaways from this past year is how much I look up to Ta-Nehisi Coates. He’s everything I want to be as a writer and communicator.

Thank you for everything you do!

Damn, yeah! I wouldn’t be surprised if the LA Times has a couple staffers that live in and cover the Bay Area.

Shoutout to the Chron staffers up and writing at 3 AM! 👏

Get this staff a raise! 👏👏👏

Woah, that’s really saying something! Over here it was several seconds of hard shaking, including enough noise and jostling that I was worried something was going to fall over.

Everyone okay over there in the East Bay?

That earthquake felt scary over here in San Francisco.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women.

The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

Would love to have seen SF City Hall lit up purple for the Valkyries tonight! Missed opportunity.

Margo St. James and other protesters march down a street with a sign that has a picture of a coyote, and the words "my ass is mine"

We found our name in the pesky, wily coyote — howls, claws, fangs, and all. But we are not the first COYOTE in the Bay Area; in the 70s, a sex worker rights group launched by Margo St. James demanded you Call Off Your Old Tired Ethics! Read the story by @nuala.bsky.social here: bit.ly/4nALvkw

A collage of different covers from the now-defunct San Francisco alt-weekly the Bay Guardian. Covers have headlines like "Downtown Highrises: the monsters that ate 12,000 jobs," "Bette Midler Up Close," "Queer Youth: Did It Get Bettter," and "Nude beaches."

As the class clowns of local media, alternative newsweeklies were smarter than they looked: They fearlessly called out corruption, launched artists’ and writers’ careers, and made journalism fun. Can COYOTE bring that energy back?

Watch Parties, Dildos, and Equal Pay: How Queer Valkyries Fans Claim Space in the WNBA The vibes around Ballhalla are immaculate — yet the league is still mired in misogyny and inequality. What’s a fan to do?

NEW: "The inequalities are staggering: While WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of their league’s revenue, NBA players receive 49-51% from their league. Women players’ salaries are also capped at a figure that’s actually less than one-quarter of NBA players’ minimum.”✍️ @roughnotes.bsky.social
