I am intending to go to this show at the CapOne. I will post show banter it. I have never seen her, and this is not the right time, but too much $$ invested.


Sweet!  Looking forward to your review. Don't forget to review the outfits!

in our latest installment of things sweetcell thinks smackie should know:

Mountain Dew Is Adding A Familiar Fast Food Flavor To Its Boozy Lineup


Venerable beat you by almost a week (strange he didn't share in the group text).  I enjoyed the Black Cherry flavor and have been on a hunt for the Taco Bell flavor.  Fear not, I will report back with a detailed review as soon as I find some.  I'm guessing this weekend…

possibly.  mostly i want to ensure that your review is more nuanced than "tastes like red #4 and 2-year-old tabasco sauce, but most importantly it got me just as cranked as the green stuff"…

No posts in this since April? Where am I to get my California municipal elections hot takes? Who will tell me what this SF attorney general race means? What sad times these are.

I don't see Chesa surviving this recall. 

It's not so much that he went too far too fast, though that can be argued, it's that he lost the narrative on crime in SF and did nothing to dispel the notion that it's all his fault.  A bit of his arrogant stance did him in.  He came out of the gate instituting immediate reforms, in particular around gangs, and when the organized gangs started busting windows and robbing larger stores as a result, he talked a big game, but the results didn't back him up.  It's not the end of the reform movement, it's just that even in SF, everything has to happen in moderation.  Especially when people in SF are upset about being the butt of everyone's jokes.

I only hear yanny, but haven't tried with the headphones.  Will do do tonight - and I do wonder if active noise cancellation has any impact.

brainstorm or green needle
