There should not be any overlap between the two, so someone with good walking shoes could attend both.Or go to Oakland for the Oakland Sin Fronteras March & Rally (2pm-4pm, Oakland Federal Building) OR the May Day Oakland Port Shutdown (4pm, 7th St, West Oakland BART).

Maybe the most random piece of improvised drug paraphernalia I've come across in SF: a scorched bent piece of brass with the Saudi Air Force logo. Seen outside the Rincón Hill dog park.

One of my favorite Youtube channels is the French-language Télé-Louisiane channel, from Louisiana. In this video, they discuss yet another Louisianian (and Alabamian) language: the Créole Louisianais.Lovely accents.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjM6SUmmbbQ

And here is the Indian French of Pointe-au-Chien. The accent is hard to make out for me.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8Kdr4USDAc

I never expected to become an expert of sorts in deliberative bodies and their members, yet here I am, dealing with trustees, commissioners, board directors, supervisors, etcetera, pretty much constantly. I now know much more than I ever expected on various forms of parliamentary procedure, operation manuals, Brown Act and the Sunshine Ordinance.Not going to lie, I feel like living in and being around anti-authoritarian collectives prepared me well for this.

The most challenging and emotionally taxing deliberative bodies I've ever dealt with are anarchist collectives.

That's what I tell folks. Every meeting should be organized for a thousand people to participate. Rules of order help make that possible.

Last night, for the first time in years, I went to see a movie in the movie theater. A nice experience overall. I watched Civil War. I consider it to be both be a good antiwar movie and a good perspective on conflict journalism, the sort of people it attracts and its impact on them. Worth watching.

My bet is that the top two priorities for Republicans over the next four years will be:Eliminate birthright citizenship. If not possible, they will try to heavily restrict it like in Europe.Call for a Second Constitutional Convention.Both of these paths will allow them to consolidate control over the next few generations.

I predict that the desired outcome of a Second Constitutional Convention will be a much looser republic. We go back to the plural United States. A weaker federal government focused on defense and direct wealth transfers between states.

Caught a #robotaxi having a "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" moment on Bay Street this morning. Parking control officer kept waving at it, then gave up.Stupidest timeline.#sf #SanFrancisco

@Jonny Was it in Orange County? If so, might have been a distant cousin. SMH.

Elon Musk not only succeeded in getting Trump reelected, he also succeeded in preventing the reelection of progressive San Francisco Supervisor @deanpreston. Musk publicly called for Preston to be imprisoned on Twitter and pledged $100,000 to unseat him.Tech Barons can and will wield their power at any and all levels of government to get their way.#sfpol #SanFranciscohttps://missionlocal.org/2023/09/elon-musk-calls-for-jailing-of-san-francisco-supervisor/

We now live in a reality where a twice-impeached felon has been reelected as POTUS, thanks to support from the world’s wealthiest man, who was rewarded with his very own federal department, coincidentally named after the monopoly-money cryptocurrency he peddles.

Great energy out here at the #SanFrancisco #Airbnb action. Airbnb is suing the city, trying to to avoid paying taxes and one of the founders has joined Musk's DOGE and is on the #Tesla board.#Labor #BayArea

One of the well-designed red and black picket signs with Musk making the Nazi salute.
