  2. Was thinking this morning how I missed "that dj that used to open 6AM with the same Billie Holiday song every morning on KCSM and was a great interviewer” even though our kid is old enough that I’m not up that early every day (just every few days) anymore

    Her name is Alisa Clancy, and it looks like a boss was involved in her retirement? Dumb. https://www.sfcv.org/articles/feature/kcsms-alisa-clancy-signs

    gravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)every morning our kid wakes up between 4:30 and 4:45. i haven’t slept past 5 in over a year every morning at 6:00, KCSM 99.1 opens the 6:00 block with Billie Holiday’s “I Hear Music” v nice https://youtu.be/QE89uBF6mXoMastodongravely (@gravely@mastodon.social)Attached: 1 image 99.1 just faded out of a song from 1941 mid-trumpet solo and both DJs agreed it was fine to cut on the solo, because fuck that guy, he got Billie on heroin, he wasn’t even a very good trumpet player. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Guy_(musician)Mastodon

  3. My plan for when I finally ghost on everyone is to still be self aware enough to not gotta give people thirty to fifty years younger than me one last spoonful of pablum they didn’t ask for on my way out the door 😉 😉 😉

  4. Joked to myself the other day “wow it must have been windy last night" as I passed the flattened flex-post on east-bound 17th at Gus’s, but it’s been that way since at least January.

    this is what passes for a compromise on the city’s bike network map ( https://www.sfmta.com/maps/san-francisco-bike-network-map)

    San Francisco Bike Network MapThese maps are developed and maintained by the SFMTA and display information on San Francisco's bike lanes, routes, and paths. The interactive version of this data allows you to zoom and pan to locate the biking resources of most interest to you.SFMTA

    this morning I watched someone slowly drive over it, front left wheel, back left wheel, to park, 🙃

  5. Finally made it to salesforce park today with junior. incredibly rad the that we as a society have somehow made one, single, incredibly nice (mid) multi-story boondoggle bus stop instead of improving every other bus stop even slightly, like it’s almost, as if the author, were trying to, very clumsily, make a point, about, nah, no, couldn’t be, that would mean that, wow, no way

  6. “Hi, do you work here?”

    “No. Does it look like I work here?”

    “Yeah, kinda.”

    “Fuck!”

  9. Thanks car-London, for telling the [adrian belew voice] ”this is a dangerous place!" story to everybody in ear shot, threatening to get the cops involved but not actually usefully getting anyone involved at all, just being annoying to everyone around, and useless, to boot

  10. Really enjoying Alice Munro stories, more than I expected, and a little bummed that I don’t remember who suggested them.

    I started with the '68–’94 collection, “A Wilderness Station”, great stuff so far!

    obnoxious photo-of-the-book-text, but with easy copy paste alt text, yay:Before she came to Dr. Henshawe's, Rose had never heard of the working class. She took the designation home."This would have to be the last part of town where they put the sewers," Flo said."Of course," Rose said coolly. "This is the working-class part of town.""Working class?" said Flo. "Not if the ones around here can help it."🤣🤣🤣
