Yup. It will become some sort of "lounge"...

LAME

in other news, SF cops just coppin' it up: http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/6-San-Francisco-police-officers-indicted-5273906.php

Raiding SROs and selling the seized property is pretty ugly.

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

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).

lol

butthurt glassholes are the best glassholes

I'm all for this plastic water bottle ban btw

such as stupid fucking industry

too bad about Esta Noche, i will miss their giant margaritas on my visits

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.

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).

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

did I mention it's ridiculous

Want the carbonator!

Vero is the brandname. its crazy. it comes with tanks.

whoah @ Leland Yee arrest

Yeah, WTF? I guess we'll hear more later today.

whoa

he wasn't the corrupt Quickly guy, was he?

Never mind, that was Ed Jew.

Jew just got sent back for more jail iirc

The Ed Jew Quickly scandal was a high point of my short-lived "pro-blogging" adventure

"Shrimp Boy" is a cool nickname

uuugh i want to ride trains around the west coast sooo bad.. might be moving to a place in oregon with m mum n dd

freight trains, like hobo style?

lol nooo. m bes fren did that 4 a looong whyle.. she jus got bak frum sf. Amtrak of course! and the new train thats supposed to be quite fast. my dad always told me id get killed that way

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.

heh. i love it. i take the hiawatha to chicago from time to time. i ove it.

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

Let me know when that happens...

*sigh* they're never gonna repeal Prop 13, are they?

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...

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.

2/3rds Dem supermajority made me briefly hopeful that a repeal might get past the legislature, I believe there was some sort of piecemeal plan floated but I dunno how far it got

let's laugh at these idiots

#developing Federal indictment on #Leland Yee pg 99 tells undercover agent he can get rocket launchers.

SENATOR YEE responded by saying "M.I.L.F." UCE 4599 understood M.I.L.F. to be an acronym for the MORO ISLAMIC LIBERATION FRONT. SENATOR YEE went on to explain there were several factions within the M.I.L.F. Regarding the M.I.L.F., LIM told UCE 4599 they are his friends but he does not personally associate with them.

I love this story

gangsta

damn freemasons!!

Jesus the stuff on pages 98-100 (just skimming) is pretty damning.

ok I'm settling in to read this start to finish...the first 2 pages were enough to hook me. DAMN

Chinatown power broker Rose Pak back in July 2011:

Leland Yee is one of the most morally corrupt politicians I've ever encountered in 40 years. From the first day he stepped in as the school board member, lying to get his children to the preferred assigned school using a phony address, selling his services to Chinese-American parents who would cut an arm or leg to get their kid to the right schools ... he did all of that.

So I don't think he stood for anything decent in our community except to come and take money and then claiming to be the first Asian this and Asian that, but he doesn't impress me. He doesn't stand for anything except corruption and bribery.
