Falun Gong from what I gather.

You've seen the ads. But what's the deal with Shen Yun?

Unless you live under a rock, you've seen a billboard or heard a radio ad for Shen Yun...

Yea that I know, but Falun Gong itself doesn’t generate enough money to do this

Merry Christmas, SF haters! (And Happy Hanukkah!)

We woke to the mother of all thunderclaps out in Marin around 2:30 am today -- sky went white and a long, rolling rumble shook the house. For a moment, I seriously wondered if the city had received a North Korean Christmas present. And my first thought after that was how delighted that weird slot machine dude on StyFo would be ...

May none of you step in human feces in 2020.

I have 50-year overall and 20-year SF non-human-feces-stepping streaks going. I aim to maintain.

News you can use!

Yawn. Happens everywhere. I think I've had three break-ins happen to my car in the southern city I call home.

I've always just used plexiglass and caulk to fix 'em.

If I am walking down the street, minding my own business and some homeless jerk can't understand the meaning of "no" and/or "go away" he/she/it may receive and @$$ whipping. (I'll carry around a leather quirt and not be afraid to beat the hell our of them with it). I reserve the right to go about my business unmolested.

Is this the first use of “quirt” ever on SF?

Hey, new same old mayor sworn in. Tea leaves make me think she is going to pull up her skirt and actually do something (other than a press blurb).

“We are no longer accepting that ‘compassion’ means anything goes on our streets. Yes, many people are sick, and we will offer them help. But if they don’t want — or can’t — accept services, then we will bring them into treatment,” Breed said.
“We will continue to expand our services, shelter and housing so that there is a place for everyone in need. And when we have a place for people to go, we cannot allow them to languish on the sidewalk. It’s not humane, it’s not compassionate, and it’s not safe for anyone.”

Carry on.........

Or the new DA?

“We will not prosecute cases involving quality-of-life crimes. Crimes such as public camping, offering or soliciting sex, public urination, blocking a sidewalk, etc., should not and will not be prosecuted. Many of these crimes are still being prosecuted, we have a long way to go to decriminalize poverty and homelessness.”

Incidentally, I'm not saying I disagree with him that the justice system shouldn't be the dumping ground for all the shortcomings in addiction treatment and mental health services.

Shockingly, yes.

In Silicon Valley, some men say cosmetic procedures are essential to a career

Lounging at an outdoor cafe just outside downtown San Francisco, his athletic frame filling out a slim-fit button-up, a talkative tech worker named Daniel detailed the many ways he's optimizing his existence. Only the previous week, he says, he returned from a 10-day trip to Italy's Amalfi...
