The demise of Indochine Vegan on Valencia was greatly exaggerated (by me). It’s true it was replaced by Himalayan Hub, but rather than closing, it moved next door into half the Sunflower Vietnamese space (the other half of the L-shaped Sunflower restaurant is still open on 16th St).

PSA: there's hella Flu A virus in San Francisco right now and it's a nasty strain.

Masking helps; so does handwashing and wiping down counters, as unlike Covid it spreads via larger droplets that can live on surfaces. Get this season's flu shot if you haven't, too.

it's true you get more conservative as you age. thats why i'm leaving the Democratic Socialists of America and joining the Republican Socialists

Headline: Safeway to close over concerns about customer safety, theft

10th paragraph: Actually, they're selling it to a developer

Even after California passed disastrous Prop 36, corporate media are *still* laundering big retail companies' crime-panic talking points as fact

Hiking by Transit by @tschuy has an improved map, a new San Francisco (proper) section, and a section on hiking trips away from the Bay Area!

read Cory Doctorow's short story "Radicalized"! it's now been published online for free, and is highly relevant to current events

this is a genuinely great protest song

also the artist has a bandcamp and it's #BandcampFriday for 3 more hours 👀 https://mipsomusic.bandcamp.com/album/book-of-fools-2

@other_ghosts When he banned the @elonjet account from his website he accused it of sharing his "assassination coordinates." Dude's been thinking about this for a while.

California’s statewide ebike incentive is happening! https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/news/california-launches-its-first-statewide-e-bike-voucher-project

Now that we've won JFK Promenade and Great Walkway, may I suggest the next fight be tearing down the 280 stub north of 101. It would reconnect neighborhoods, improve walkability and save $100s of millions to rebuild the dumb thing as part of the Caltrain downtown extension. #sfpol

@TransitEquitySF one of my friends insists that most of the poop on the sidewalk isn’t human, it’s “yuppie dogs”

with spoiled affluent humans who expect someone else to pick up after them

I dunno how true that is, just a thought

Thread about Denver's experiment in giving $1000/month to unhoused people. By the end of the pilot, almost half were housed, employment increased and participants were under much less stress.

@kingrat Just assign each proposition a UUID

San Francisco politics junkies will be like, "We could fund it with the Prop I revenue, or maybe Prop C" and you're expected to know that they don't mean the props that were assigned letters C and I this November, nor this March, nor in 2022, but rather the November 2020 Prop I and the June 2018 Prop C

Fuck. I've fucked up my own joke. I meant to reference the November 2018 Prop C. June 2018 was, as everyone knows, "Baby C." What an idiot. Disqualified from running for supervisor forever

@skinnylatte no love for Caffe Trieste?

i wish it could be a clear sunny day, but we're forced to have rain because of capitalism and its mandate for infinite plant growth

as more votes have been counted, Jackie Fielder is looking stronger in the Portola. it used to be deep purple down there, now it's a lot closer to even, with her opponent only reaching 55% in a single precinct. she's even winning one Portola precinct. #sfpol

there are also stark differences between Portola and Mission/Bernal on almost everything on the ballot. every Portola precinct majority opposed K, every Mission/Bernal precinct majority supported it. Peskin was top vote getter for mayor in most of Mission/Bernal, Portola mostly went Lurie. etc
