  1. Speculation that this could be the first strike:
  2. Orange day 2020 was one of the weirder times of a weird year.
  3. N-95s when outside are helpful. I’d just stay in my office all day since I imagine that’s where the best air filtering is. Fire season sucks and they are only getting worse.
  4. Thought it would be easy to BART to the game. Train 1: Broke down. Train 2: Richard Ramirez doppelgänger walks on holding a pistol in his pants and half the train flees. Train 3: Uber. I hate Oakland.
  5. Jesus. For war correspondents that guy’s balls are exceeded only by Dana Stone and Sean Flynn.
  6. Emme ‘22 Valdigue, imo.
  7. Well great I came in hoping someone finally found bikini pics and instead got the mental image of Jerry Brown trying to get his 80 year old dick up at an orgy, thanks.
  8. Sous voile, imo.
  9. Somehow fell out of my rotation. Thank you for inspiring me to close the laptop early and get a beer.
  10. Best fried chicken in the city, change my mind.
  11. Having some California cool kid Zin myself.
  12. Hell yeah. Rosalind is good people too, will be doing a tasting with her in a few weeks.
  13. Exaggerate much? This is limited to a very small part of the city. Yes, it is near the corporate hotels and yes, it is third-world bad but it should totally irrelevant to visitors unless you want awesome Vietnamese food. Get out to GGP next time.
  14. It’s people realizing they don’t have to put up with shitty public transportation infrastructure five days a week and no one going to malls anymore.
  15. Like in Union Square? Not much. Kin Khao is my favorite. John’s Grill is pretty iconic (Maltese Falcon), definitely a power lunch spot for the City Hall crowd. Top of the Mark for drinks of course. But right by you’ve got Tadich, Kokkari, Waterbar, Boulevard, Angler, Mister Jiu’s, Tosca Cafe - all great for business meals. Yank Sing used to be great for dim sum but I haven’t been since pre-COVID so don’t know how the lunch scene is these days. Been stopping by Maison Nico for coffee and breakfast quite a bit lately, long line on weekends but you can walk in during the week. Edit: forgot to mention Michael Mina opened a swanky Greek concept on California, Estiatorio Ornos. Have not been but have heard mixed reviews.
  16. My problem with this take is he conflates the narrative of violent crime often expressed by national media, generally hyperbolic, and the debate within San Francisco, which is focused on property crime and perceptions of public safety; by debunking the former he effectively denies the validity of the latter (he wrote a very similar column after the Boudin recall IIRC). I only point this out because it’s the same approach employed by S.F. progressives, and it fundamentally misread the room and cost them the recall (although Hiltzik, like the Boudin camp, has been huffing the copium that it was all a right-wing conspiracy). IMO the core issue is the inherent tension progressive DA’s face doing their jobs once in office and how they handle the messaging. He points out Pamela Price, but has he been following the news at all lately? The New Yorker had a pretty good take this week: Bob Lee’s Murder and San Francisco’s So-Called Crime Epidemic https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/bob-lees-murder-and-san-franciscos-so-called-crime-epidemic
  17. Maybe some of the best footage so far.
  18. Yes, they are pushing for more funding.
  19. ? That is not the anti-tech crowd, but you are correct they are running with this for their own narrative.
