@axios Um, I think Obama won the nomination in 2012...

I just published The Barking Dog Roasters, a yelpish review of a lovely little coffee shop in Boyes Hot Springs, CA: https://medium.com/@joeschmuck/barking-dog-roasters-fe0ba060973f

@skinnylatte With the notable exception of donut shops which, in California, are primarily owned by Asian immigres, specifically Cambodians. Fascinating story...

Rumor has it that Bob's Donuts on Polk St in #sanfrancisco is expanding to second store across the street because #sfpd complained about not having a place to sit...

He can come to San Francisco and fuck up our city for a week while cutting corporate deals, but he can’t be bothered to go deal with the most existential issue we face today.

President Biden is set to miss this week's COP 28 world leaders' summit, but administration officials confirm Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Dubai to attend the key UN climate conference https://t.co/on7RDc4O7v

They're good, but I also recommend Cafe de Casa, over on Leavenworth and North Point. Brazilian place, beautifully rich pourover. Really good now that the tourists are taking a pause. I even wrote a review of them in 2018: https://medium.com/travelogue-rants/cafe-de-casa-ac7e6d0c937b

I wrote this, maybe it will strike a chord, maybe you'll wanna strike me.

Our capitalist rulers, and the politicians they own, are playing the long game. Since the 1950s they have been working steadily to shift the Overton window, to reduce the influence of labor unions, to boost consumerism, and to concentrate wealth and power in the hands of a few.

A large part of that strategy involves privatizing services that used to be (and should be) public.

They're playing the long game, and they are winning — much to the detriment of you and me and the environment we live in.

Will the Federal Government shutdown have a silver lining and cancel the #blueangels and #sanfrancisco #fleetweek? We can only hope…

@lifewithtrees that you rely on Lyft drivers for actionable data is quite the statement.

#garytan is the poster child for needing to heavily tax the rich and keep their money out of politics. I don't care if he has opinions...even if he has anti-progressive opinions...but his money should not be able to influence the political scene.

What I’m reading:
Joe Hill by Wallace #Stegner and Things Fall Apart by Chinua #Achebe. #Bookwyrm #amreading

According to a study
the experience of the pandemic
may have changed
people’s personalities
making some more at risk
of stress
making some more mistrustful
and while there is no doubt
that the pandemic changed us
it still seems
as though it mainly
revealed who we truly are.

Got an #ATSC 3.0 tuner and fired it up in #SanFrancisco. 3 of the 6 or so stations that are using it are DRM encrypted, rendering them completely useless.

Whatever happened to the airwaves being free?
