Been keeping track of the 'Man or Bear?' arguments going on over on TikTok? Well get ready to log out for an hour because a 14 year old girl with a bible just figured out what God thinks about the whole thing. Phew! ✝️

It only took 22 babies, but legendary UC Berkeley falcon Annie is finally letting a mate help her with feedings. Truly relatable new parent content from the wonderful CalFalconCam. 🦅🐥🐥🐥🐥🦅 kqed.org/arts/13956807/…

“America does not care about women,” Rae Alexandra writes, this time prompted by the news that New York’s highest court just overturned Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction. Read her commentary on America's systemic misogyny problem:

Am I furious? Yep. Am I surprised? Not even a little. Here's a little essay about how much America hates women.

FOUR BABIES!!! Oh, this is going to be fun... 🦅🐤🐤🐤🐤🦅

I'm about 12 years into despising Lana Del Ray with every fiber of my being and, man, I've gotta tell you... The hatred burns as bright now as it did on Day One. Literally amazing.

The first falcon baby has arrived! 🦅🐣🦅🥚🥚🥚

This is the kind of food writing I was put on this green earth to do — deciphering Bay Area rap lyrics from 1993 to 2024 about ice cream, chicken wings and TOGO’s sandwiches (with original artwork by Torre Pentel to go with it) kqed.org/arts/13955802/…

Low Key Skate Shop is a tiny Tenderloin hole-in-the-wall that is doing the absolute most. Building skate parks, hosting art by local artists, running a screenprinting outfit, making Bay Area skate videos... They're just the coolest. So I wrote this. 🛹 kqed.org/arts/13955476/…

First spot of joy on this Monday morning? One of my coworkers using the word 'enshittified' in a sentence. May your Monday morning be deshittified by the coining of this new word.

This entire thread is a JOY.

Should you see 'Sasquatch Sunset'? Well, there are moments of poop-flinging, mushroom-vomiting, placenta throwing and skunk-sniffing. Plus, more than one sasquatch penis makes an appearance. So ... I hope this has been helpful. 💩

On this day in 1968, Bobby Hutton, an original member of the Black Panther Party was shot dead by the Oakland police, unarmed. He was only 17 years.

After being bombed with tear gas and trapped in a burning basement, he came out shirtless to prove he was unarmed and the police…

Generally speaking, the Marina is the last place on EARTH I want to get a drink. But for these?! I could make an exception...

1895 San Francisco transit map
I'm not sure if this shows all transit, but it does show a pretty complete picture of the Cable, Horsecar, Steam train and early electric streetcar lines. #sfhistory

It's my birthday in June. If someone could bring me a pouch rat riding a raccoon dog leading a skunk possum, that'd be grand, thanks.

Goddamnit Falcon folks, you got me SO good. Why isn't this a real thing?! Get on it Pixar!!

Me, Monday morning: 'Today, I will do historical research at the library.' Oakland Zoo: 'BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THIS TIGER CUB THOUGH?' (I did not go to the library today.)
