The @SFGiants took their 21-6 spring training record (I know, it means nothing) into the regular season, coming back in the ninth to beat the Reds 6-4. Could've been more impressive, I grant you. But it's a positive start. #baseball ⚾

I took a (minor) chance on this Bruel & Kjaer bandpass filter. It was super cheap. Turns out the previous owner had left the batteries in it, and they were a corroded mess. The plastic battery compartment was also broken. It does have a connection for a power […] [Original post on sfba.social]

Greetings, everyone. Today’s Release Day for my new collection, The Orange Department. https://stevenraysound.bandcamp.com/album/the-orange-department This 3-track album introduces a new approach for me. Instead of using traditional synthesizers to create sound (maybe even music!), the sounds […]

I told Zowie that this angle didn't make her look... overly fluffy. 😜 Happy #caturday 🐈

I'm reading a book titled Re-Sisters by Cosey Fanni Tutti about herself, Delia Derbyshire and Margery Kempe and became fairly enthralled yesterday by her descriptions of Delia (and Daphne Oram before her) working in the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Cosey also describes her work on the soundtrack […]

when your books were so close and then took an incomprehensible left turn. wth, USPS.

I got a thingee: A 2001 academy screener of Mulholland Drive. A ‘screener’ is an advance or promotional copy of a film or television series sent to critics, awards voters and the like. #movies #davidLynch #twinPeaks

Headline: "Tr*mp threatens retaliatory 200% tariff on European wine after EU proposes American whiskey tax" Me: NOOOOOOoooooooo #wine

The San Francisco Tesla showroom on Van Ness Avenue has been operating without a proper permit for nearly a decade after city building inspectors failed to sign off on a $2.3 million renovation back in 2016.

Just came back from seeing Lost Highway at the Roxy, and listening to Barry Gifford, who wrote the script with David Lynch. He was interviewed on stage afterwards. What stories. 🎬🦉

For those who are boycotting the US - this site is brilliant. FInd better alternatives in Canada, EU, UK etc and avoid US brands, companies & services. bankrupttrump.org

If you publish your anti-extremist, pro-democracy newsletter on Substack -- a platform that was funded in large part by Trump-loving VCs and is run by people who have no problem helping right-wing extremists spread and monetize their bile -- you are not just missing the point. You are helping […]

Again: what happens here in Tennessee is coming your way next. Pay attention. They openly say they want this to end up at the Supreme Court. tennesseelookout.com/2025/03/06/t...

I have never seen a more devastating adverb in the opening sentence of a court filing. https://campaignlegal.org/sites/default/files/2025-03/001-%20DOGE%20Complaint.pdf

An analysis of the orange one and how his movement compared to classic fascism at the beginning of his first term, with addenda to bring it up to date. An excellent read. https://dsa-education.pubpub.org/pub/trump-and-american-fascism/release/1

I've become a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). I've considered doing this for a while now, and have been actively working to educate myself on Socialism to make sure it's the right path forward. I believe that it is. This is also one of the things I plan to do this year […]

Way to go, SF.gov. 🙄 When Sam Alito is on your side, you know you're doing something wrong. The EPA issued San Francisco a permit allowing it to discharge pollutants from its combined sewer system into the Pacific Ocean. The permit’s conditions include prohibitions on discharges that […]

The new Motif dj mix, #14 LYNCHIAN will play for the first time Tuesday 4th March, 9pm UK time (1 p.m. California) on grey clay radio and it's a fittingly fabulous one! Over two hours of exceptionally unique, moody and... Lynchian original work, put together by […] [Original post on sfba.social]

'Actuaries are among the most conservative and data-driven financial professionals in the world. Their calculations underpin trillions of dollars in insurance pricing, pension fund allocations, and investment decisions. If they are warning of an impending financial catastrophe, why is the […]

Here's today's (really yesterday's) #wineReview, featuring an artisanal Syrah from Paso Robles, California. A nice one! Get thyself to Paso if you have an opportunity. A lovely area, and so many vineyards to explore. https://pixelfed.social/p/wine/802226895158469756 More reviews @ @wine, on […]
