Sailor, maker, repairer. Still living in the City I was born in. San Francisco is a wonderful place (don't let anyone tell you otherwise).

Tried to stop buying from uline a number of times these past years but never found the solution...

...UNTIL WE FOUND Zoro.

Zoro is a Grainger company and has completely replaced Uline for our shipping and warehouse supplies.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

How is it possible that Kristi Noem still has this job. Imagine if you’re a family member or a shipmate of this guardsman.

The defacto requirement to use social media for civic discourse and information is frustrating. I have never used X and quit Instagram and Facebook.

Requiring citizens to have a social media account to keep informed just frustrates me no end.

Enjoying Bluesky, but this isn't the answer either.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax in order to vote. It's voter suppression, pure and simple.

Looks great. Enjoying your posts. May I ask you a question? I've been trying to track down my grandfather's history. It appears he is Joseph Bergfalk and born about 1889. Lived in San Francisco when my father was born in 1909. Really no more info other than he was from Sweden and a carpenter. Thanks

This is what oligarchy looks like:

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, spent $290 million to elect Trump.

Since Election Day, Musk became $548 billion richer while his companies (SpaceX & Tesla) paid $0 in federal income taxes last year after making $13.7 billion in profits.

Vigil for Alex Pretti at the VA hospital.

Vigil for Alex Pretti at the VA hospital.

It felt good to join our neighbors at the local San Francisco VA hospital for a vigil in memory of Alex Pretti. Not as cold as Minneapolis, but still 500+ in the evening drizzle. #alexpretti #VA

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

I cannot determine if this is an account to advise if hazardous conditions (something I do want to see) or is it a marketing/pr account which I don't want to see. These two purposes need separate accounts.

Called PGE this morning 12/21 asking about the DATE on the Web page you show 12/20. Was told it was a typo, already reported, and that would be fixed. We're in the outer Richmond and still without power. If 3:45pm today is adhered to our power will be off +24 hours.

We remember shopping at the original Cost Plus Market in San Francisco decades ago. We just made a nostalgic trip across the Golden Gate Bridge to what we can only call the "Cost Plus Plus Tariff Market"

The original market near fisherman's wharf is no more.
