Whole Foods sells a 365-branded popcorn kernel that is intentionally awful (half will burn before the other half pops) because they want people to spend more money on microwave popcorn or bagged popcorn products.

Okay, I sold the drawing of Per Sia at this year's Hunk Jesus, too.
An art exhibit at City Art Cooperative Gallery. A woman stands back and looks at the drawings she has set up in a row.
It is gratifying when someone takes their time to appreciate and choose a set of drawings to buy.
As I wrote this, I sold the 2012 drawing. 🤗
Two drawings wrapped in plastic. One shows a scribbly crowd watching a drag queen on stage. Another you can see the Mission High School tower. Notice figures with bunny ears in both.
I have drawings from the 2012 and the 2026 @sfsisters.bsky.social #HunkJesus celebration in #DoloresPark on my shelf at #CityArtCooperativeGallery on Valencia Street.
You gado gado do what you gado gado do.
Also, have you tried Sambal Olek (instead of Sriracha)?
I made a zine!

We're on strike! Don't visit propublica.org on April 8
We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today.
Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...
The League of Women Voters say heeeyyyyyyyy
Colson Whitehead's Harlem Shuffle and Crook's Manifesto are super fun and very smart and very compelling reads.
I do hope that @ifbookspod.bsky.social @michaelhobbes.bsky.social covers the Newsom memoir.
"Newsom credits the self-help guru’s [Tony Robbins] advice with teaching him, a rudderless 24-year- old, how to project confidence and authority."
"In a more collectively oriented society, charismatic egotists wouldn’t be so load-bearing that threatening them would be an existential catastrophe." 👏 @soleilho.com

A toddler’s death shook him. Now he’s walking 50 miles around SF for safer streets (and to support @walksf.org)

Pretty sure I just had adenovirus, and it was ROUGH. Almost two weeks, wiped out, hacking cough, sore throat, and toward the end, pink eye.
Not fun stuff!
Staff email: we want you to go to a webpage. Here's a link to a pdf with a QR code.
The Beatty movies will yield funnier podcasts.
So I voted for Beatty, and then the website gives me a twitterX logo to click on. Ewwwww - get that off the website!
This so much. All choices carry consequences, no choice is certain. No medical intervention of any kind is perfectly safe or perfectly effective. But gender-affirming care works. It is a caring choice by committed caregivers who listen to and respect the humanity of kids.
The same week he is calling for $100 million worth of cuts to city jobs, the Mayor and the D5 Supe introduced a $100 million tax break for billionaires
The problem with war is that you eventually run out of other people's children.
For the 2026 primary elections, NPR has collected deadlines and information on how to register to vote — online, in person or by mail — in every U.S. state and territory.
Media literacy: this (common) framing is misleading. $183m sounds like a lot, but it's over 3 years. SFUSD's annual budget is ~$1.2 BILLION and this year's cost is <$32m. So the contract represents 2.65% increase on the budget, consistent with inflation. Big whoop. thefrisc.com/sfusds-183m-...
Wow @sfstandard.com : leading your opinion page with FOUR op-eds against teachers strikes. There was huge parent support for the strikes everywhere I went all around the district. We cannot fix enrollment trends without investing in staff. Who benefits from framing the strike as bad (rhetorical)?
I just watched Good Fortune on a plane, and it's kind of trying to be that.
