Skating is one of the only free activities San Francisco offers kids, so of course rich losers call the cops and SFPD loves overtime so they brought out the riot gear.
Line of riot police shutting down Dolores Hillbomb this year. Officers are walking with riot gear down Dolores Blvd., confronted by some skateboarders.

In 2015 the SFFD fired their lead arson investigator who went whistleblower. You can decide for yourself if things have been better and on the level since then.
On Canal street in New Orleans and some guy asked me if I wanted to buy his rap CD. I said it sounded good but I didn't have a CD player, and he replied "I bet you got a microwave, fat boy"
“Rainfall washes 7 trillion pieces of microplastics, much of it tire particles left behind on streets, into San Francisco Bay each year—an amount 300 times greater than what comes from washing off polyester clothes, microbeads from beauty products…”
I am an Airbnb host in SF and this is so true. Bookings are way down because people are scared to visit. Like many other Airbnb hosts, hosting out of my home enables me to live in SF on a non tech salary, and our small bizes are hurting due to the SF doom loop narrative. ☹️
San Francisco State University has cancelled the Palestine Course and removed Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi from her signature course "Colonialism, Imperialism and Resistance", in a new attack on academic freedom and a blatant display of pro-Israel bias and anti-Palestinian racism.
Vendors set selling alcohol illegally outside
@OracleParkSF
again tonight. After my 6pm live shot I interviewed one vendor who told me he’s been doing this for 10 years. He says the citations are misdemeanors .. you go to court, it gets thrown out. Called it a cat & mouse game.
In the face of a looming financial abyss, San Francisco decided to pass its biggest budget *ever.*
Next year will be bad. For more reasons than you'd think.

“One of the challenges we face in San Francisco is we need the rent to go back up.”
It is so refreshing to hear YIMBYs say this stuff out loud. Private developers have no plan for building new housing when rents actually go down.
My dad passed away at around 2:20 this morning. He had lots of flaws, but I love him and will miss him dearly. I choose to remember the good times we spent together late in his life.
The most common thing I've seen in 800 miles of Amtrak from Emeryville to Portland is lots of people living in cars, self made shacks, tents, or worse.
The skateboarding on these hills has gone on my entire life. The only thing new was that the fiscal year started so the parasitic cops know they can go ham on the overtime without consequence.

Everyone’s actions has consequences, these kids included. Ever wonder why someone called the cops on then? No way, could it be because they were doing stupid shit to begin with???
Back in Karabakh/Susa for my second time. Amaising changes and progress already can be seen since nov. 2021 when I visited for the first time and was shocked how it looked ( a ghost town). This beautiful area, for sure, will be turned into a pearl by

Extremely fucked that vaccine distribution isn't being brought directly to communities injured the most by COVID and government response to it
Hahahahahaha there's no substitute teachers in SFUSD and my school is hella short staffed today. I'm taking on at least one other class, and they're probably going to ask me to give up my prep period too!
Congress must respond quickly to ensure deposits over $250,000 at SVB are recovered and accessible - this could have a ripple effect throughout our economy and impact many many workers and businesses. We will work with our local delegation.
