Very discombobulating to wrestle with the death penalty again when we have much bigger problems to face. Review of the still-good-just-a-little-out-of-time ‘Dead Man Walking’ at @sfopera.bsky.social:

The central contradiction of ‘Dead Man Walking,’ at San Francisco Opera, seems utterly quaint today.

I am required to also shout out 'The Candidate,' part of which was filmed at Howarth Park in Santa Rosa 🎉

we at @coyotemedia.org intend to do “alt-weekly-style” journalism. But what does that mean?

Called up some writer heroes to ask. Thank you for yappin w/ me @annkpowers.bsky.social @tromano.bsky.social @supermarke.bsky.social & Brontez who is too punk for BlueSky www.coyotemedia.org/what-we-talk...

Alternative newsweeklies launched careers, called out corruption, and made journalism fun. Can we bring that energy back?

No surprise here but 8 out of the 10 cities he's threatened with the National Guard have Black mayors

It’s been six years since I was here in New Orleans, and man, @wwozneworleans.bsky.social is STILL such a beautiful radio station 💐

I love her too. 'Bells Are Ringing' obvs, plus this record is a fave (actually the one she did with Gerry Mulligan is even better!).

I love that SF's oldest monument isn't from a wealthy dude who earned his money in extractive ways and wanted to stoke his ego: it's a fountain (once very useful!) from an actress who started her career here.

Gifted to San Francisco in 1875, the fountain has become a symbol of the city’s ability to overcome disaster.

As a listener I don’t mind it *except* for the clear fact that it’s motivated by streaming

Just wanna say that I've read the word "inchoate" dozens of times but never heard it SPOKEN until hearing @esksf.bsky.social on Forum this morning, quite the thrill

Gabe Meline @gmeline.bsky.social · Sep 2

Yeah! Was just gonna mention this album, which I randomly grabbed and listened to over the weekend. First time I heard "Close Your Eyes" and it's still the definitive version IMO.

Now it's them dead bodies, them lost houses
The mayor say don't worry 'bout it
And the children have been scorned, no one's here to care 'bout 'em
And fat shout to all the rappers that helped out
Yeah, we like to thank all y'all
But fuck President Georgia Bush
