it's not anti-"techie," it's anti-prick. based on her posts about the incident and eager engagement with any and all media around the she's certainly trying to present herself as an innocent victim of anti-tech hooligans but ime if you act like an ass in molotov's someone's going to invite you to mind your manners.

tbh Molotov's is exactly the kind of joint I would expect this to happen in. Zeitgeist too.

Despite the attack, Slocum is still a dedicated Glass user -- or, in her own words, a "#glasshead."

I'm a regular at Molotov's and I heard accounts from fellow regulars yesterday (also recounted to a SFPD sergeant) which lead me to believe that she was both very drunk and very annoying and far from blameless. She was repeatedly asked to not film and not behave like a drunken fool but she went ahead and did it anyhow. I just missed this by about 30 minutes 'cause I stopped in after dinner. Her bf or male escort also beat someone up over this, so hate crime, my ass.

Also Esta Noche getting the boot right after appearing on 'Looking' is kind of poignant.
tbh when I saw that quote of a patron re: "behoove her to have manners" I totally thought it was you
― How dare you tarnish the reputation of Turturro's yodel (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 27 February 2014 22:08 (ten years ago) link
Ha! Apparently she was there when I was but I instinctively avoided her (like most ppl there Friday or Saturday nights who I don't know).

x-post Yeah we have a water filter and glasses here at our office (and even a dishwasher!) but we keep ordering and using bottles of water! I gotta put a stop to it.
― schwantz, Wednesday, 5 March 2014 21:32 (ten years ago) link
it's just so weird to act like we are living in a third world country that doesn't have clean water, especially in SF where we have, like, the cleanest fucking water in the country straight from Hetch Hetchy

I keep telling everyone at work that the bottled water we have for meetings is not an upgrade from our water purifier (w/UVA).
― A specialist in foolery (Michael White), Wednesday, 5 March 2014 21:50 (ten years ago) link
we have some ridiculous water purifier thing that keeps it refrigerated and carbonates it (if you want). it's like a robot. it is also ridiculous, but it's carbon footprint is probably smaller than monthly carts of water bottles

I think Amtrak is rad but this is entirely based on early teen experiences riding it. it seems to get a bad rap in general.

So today I woke to see an email from DonorsChoose that the iPads in the classroom project at my kids' school was fully-funded. I was surprised, so I went on the page, and found that Google had paid for the rest of the project, and left this note:
"You rock. You inspire us by going out of your way for your kids all day every day. Today, to say thanks for all that you do, we are backing your project and all projects in the Bay Area. Keep it up!"
So you know, say what you will about them, and yeah I'm sure it's a drop in the bucket, etc. But FUCK YEAH! Thanks, Google. Pretty cool.

dude you know taxes should be paying for that instead of the private sector

It's made such a mess of this state. Seems like we could repeal it with some grandfather clauses and gradual phase-in to reduce the pain...
― schwantz, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 20:19 (ten years ago) link
someone on Twitter talked about step 1 as repealing prop 13 with the exception of primary residences.
also, this'd be easier if renters voted more. kinda surprised that we don't have more get out the vote stuff.
