Sunday #crossword in today’s #NYTimes Magazine features a colorful #pride theme. Photo has a minor spoiler only for anyone not superficially familiar with the “large 57 & 58-Across at the intersection of #Castro and Market in #SanFrancisco.”

Photo of the New York Times Magazine crossword titled “Flying Colors.” The black and white crossword grid is overlayed with several colored stripes representing the colors of the rainbow. The puzzle is not yet completed. A hand is holding a pen above the only two completed entries, which read “PRIDE” and “FLAG.”

I'm confused how you can have an "exclusive" on something that's going *over the public airwaves*. I mean, anyone with a radio can tune in and find out what happened. It's like having an "exclusive" about the weather. Huh?

“The key difference is that Vienna prioritizes subsidizing construction, while the United States prioritizes subsidizing people, with things like housing vouchers. One model focuses on supply, the other on demand. Vienna’s choice illustrates a fundamental economic reality, which is that a large-enough supply of social housing offers a market alternative that improves housing for all.”

Some important lessons here for American cities like #SanFrancisco

Furries had a contingent in the 2002 San Francisco Pride parade, the first year some furry was organized enough to make it happen. I took this photo after the parade. Surprisingly few casualties.
#furry #pride #parade #SanFrancisco

Group shot of the furries after the parade. There 10 fursuiters and 20 other people, standing beside a truck that has a purple and pink banner with the words "Bay Area Furs and Friends". The truck is not itself a furry or a friend. It was reluctantly assigned to the task by a rival gang known as the Klingons, who were curious about what this Pride thing was about. During the parade, the truck discovered that it actually liked being a truck, and once the furries were done, the truck fled to the volcanic flats of Idaho to join a truck commune devoted to hauling each other for the pleasure of hauling and being hauled.

@CrackedWindscreen Yes indeed, Brad Templeton and I have (respectfully) locked horns on Reddit a few times about this and #FSDBeta.

Suffice it to say, that I do not agree with Brad's take and I am automatically sympathetic to #SanFrancisco's concerns.

Broadly, as you know, I am not going to hop on some "pro-ADS bandwagon" without rigorous and independently scrutinized safety cases, testing procedures and validation processes - none of which have ever been demanded of #Waymo or #Cruise.

One of the best siu yuk in the city at the moment is at Cantoo, a Cantonese-Venezuelan restaurant in the Tenderloin. They call it lechon, of course. But you can also say siu yuk. In fact you can speak Spanish, Cantonese or English to them. The quality of their food is so good and they are way cheaper than (1) most SF restaurants and (2) even cheaper and better than Chinatown SF restaurants

I asked around some #Native forums to see what folks thought about land acknowledgements and their opinions seems to mirror mine: OK, but not very useful. Concrete action is preferred.

A good option if you live in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara county northwest of Cupertino is to support the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone through their Yunakin Land Tax. They provide a one-time or recurring option.

This explanation from @DeanBaker13 is one of the most plausible I’ve seen yet:
“My guess as to why office rents have not fallen more is that the owners are worried about the impact on appraisals for either new loans or sales,” said Dean Baker. “If you cut the rent by 50%, that will quickly be reflected in an appraisal.”

Looking at #SanFrancisco maps, and checking my old Dreamwidth stuff, looking for:

Where are the places my characters might hang out? Where are places I want to promote?

And seeing so many places that have gone out of business. It hurts.

I need to write about the place that *is*, not the place that was, the place that's in my memories. But remembering stuff that's gone hurts, and so does feeling how much I and SF are separating, and that separation just keeps growing. #writing #AmWriting
