The Colonial History of the City of San Francisco

John Whipple Dwinelle
Conor DoughertyConor Dougherty

The City of San Francisco is now boycotting most of the United States. What seemed like a noble expression of values has limited where and from whom it can buy the stuff it needs to function. Read this very good/very funny story by @EskSF. https://missionlocal.org/2022/03/san-francisco-is-now-boycotting-most-of-the-united-states/

Great story! I was just reading City of Quartz and was riveted by the stuff on dingbats (because of course I was) and only wanted more. Thank you! https://t.co/axdiSMHVh0

Also, this scene from "So I Married an Axe Murderer" captures the "reporter who makes inappropriate jokes about death" archetype pretty well. Is that even a thing anymore? I used to work with someone who mocked recent deaths and it was equal cringe/funny. https://t.co/szXlUAzjxv https://t.co/Sf2JtpcjBG

Happy pub day to my friend and former colleague, @Herring_NBA. His first book, Blood in the Garden, is a rollicking tale about the 1990s Knicks – teams that never won it all but were the Forrest Gump of that era's basketball, if Forrest Gump started fights. Buy! Buy! Buy! https://t.co/39KWYqiNXH
