Afraid X will unleash my inner narcissistic demon
Just heard about a studio in SF’s Richmond district that rented for $2,995. Which sounds like a lot until you hear that the tenant only pays 12% of their income on rent because they make $25,000 per month.
I was in San Francisco a couple weeks ago covering one of the more fascinating House races in the country, CA-11, held by the retiring Nancy Pelosi. The race has a simple narrative but the reality is more complex. prospect.org/2026/05/11/san…
For the most devoted fans, Disney has engineered an ecosystem of financial entanglement that goes far deeper than park tickets or merchandise, which keeps the magic—and the debt—perpetually compounding. In 2023, Ashley, a freshman at Quinnipiac University, in Connecticut, had $15,000 in her bank account. Excited by her newfound freedom as a college student, she decided to start going on solo trips. Walt Disney World, in Orlando, Florida, seemed like an obvious choice. She went during her winter break. Then she returned, six times, in two years. Soon enough, her account balance had dwindled to just five dollars. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many adults who have accumulated Disney debt seem to be chasing a feeling from their childhoods. One woman, who has been to Disney World more than a hundred times, said that visiting the parks takes her back to a time when she had fewer worries: “It’s the nostalgic feeling of what brought you joy when you were little and you didn’t have the stressors of adult life.” Read more about the Disney adults putting themselves in debt for the pursuit of magic: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/_JqtFg
Supervisor Connie Chan was arrested at SFO today. It’s ideological performative BS like this that explains why she has accomplished so little as our City Supervisor. Her ‘recovering’ pal Jackie F was there today too, but fled before the police started arresting protestors. #UselessLeaders @bettersoma @whentoletgo @garrytan @griffinlee415 @tdwhalenho @MylesPynchon @Twolfrecovery @GrowSF

OPINION: “California needs someone to do the hard work of competently regulating the insurance system before we can fully solve its shortcomings,” the Chronicle editorial board writes. sfchronicle.com/opinion/editor…
Left turn onto Masonic is a mess today, backed up 4+ blocks. This is a key route for people commuting to D1 and the Golden Gate Bridge. Instead of keeping the city moving, SFMTA and their lobbyists keep pushing changes that keep people stuck. The Great Highway Compromise works.
Evening, folks! Groundhog Day continues, and I am once again in Half Moon Bay for a City Council discussion of 555 Kelly, a 40 unit 100% affordable housing project for senior farmworkers. Maybe tonight will be the meeting where they finally move forward! 🙃🤞🏻

Very few Dems talk about AI because they're worried talking about real regulations will invite a huge super PAC opposing them. And they're right. I've talked about controlling AI for a year, and now there's an AI-backed super PAC willing to spend whatever it takes against me.
