The viral fried fishwich in San Leandro is great, @soleilho.com writes. But what IF you took this sandwich to a specialty store in Berkeley that has a wall of condiments, and went wild?!

tomorrow i would really like to challenge a few folks with larger followings than me to adopt a rent and raise it in one day.
my little group chat and my followers have paid like 70 families rents in the past four days. i believe that some of y’all could help us keep one family housed.

today's report:
our "adopt a rent" venmo campaign paid 43 families rents who were at risk of evictions, including several moms of 4+ children
this is the way to get rent paid fast. like. 1000x better than any other way.

“The Super Bowl seems like a quaint thing to protest during a civil war,” a friend told me. Well, yes. But there's more to the story.
Unwelcome statues, beaches full of trash, homeless sweeps, and a $5M price tag infuriated many in SF when the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area in 2016. 10 years later, as the big game circus returns, the city is quiet. @nuala.bsky.social asks, what’s changed?

SF Hated the Super Bowl in 2016. A Decade Later, What’s Changed?
Ten years ago, protesters took to the streets to slam San Francisco’s Super Bowl City and call for an end to homeless sweeps. As the game returns to the Bay this week, why are things so quiet?

“The Super Bowl seems like a quaint thing to protest during a civil war,” a friend told me. Well, yes. But there's more to the story.
In 2016, the last time the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area, SF residents vandalized statues, threw a nationally-covered protest, and bemoaned the high cost to taxpayers. Why are things so quiet this year?

This constant whiplash is exhausting. I’m enormously relieved and still so furious this was even considered. Evidence-based solutions to our mental health and substance use challenges should never ever be on the chopping block.

This has always been the weirdest fucking thing
This is a reminder that there is no reason, none, for you to make your Venmo transaction history public, or to share it with even friends. It's profoundly irresponsible that Venmo defaults to showing it to everyone. Go change your setting to private.
Scumbag fascist collaborator Andy Ngo went through Renee Good’s Venmo account to justify her murder. He specifically cites her mother helping her with bills. There is no moral depth to which these depraved ghouls will not sink.
