Just got these messages from @seengoals@mastodon.social, one of the members of Gaza Verified, basically accusing me of running a fundraiser for Gaza and keeping the proceeds (I have no fundraiser on any fundraising site anywhere) and extorting me to share his fundraiser or he’ll apparently go public with it.
So here’s what’s going to happening instead: Nabil has been removed Gaza Verified (

The full text is in the alt text of the Mastodon screenshots apart from this section: Do you think I believed you when I asked you why you were doing this to the people of Gaza, and you told me we're all human and we empathize with each other?

Screenshot of direct message from Nabil: Nabil @10h @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral Don't test my intelligence or make me angry. I want to vent my anger on those who stole from us, our donations, and our lives personally, and I don't want to describe it any further. I just want a clear and straightforward answer. I don't want any other talk. Will you support this campaign of mine: chuffed.org/project/urgent-nab... or not?
Private Mastodon message from Nabil to me: @ 10h. @seengoals@mastodon.social @aral I know what this campaign is that appears to be for someone from Gaza, and it's basically for you personally. I analyzed it, and it's for someone supposedly from Rafah, who knows nothing about it. I'm currently in Egypt, and this is my campaign: chuffed.org/project/urgent-nab...

Local return-to-office policies are helping to fuel the resurgence, said luxury real estate agent Alexander Fromm Lurie, who is the brother of San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie. The city’s existing “mansion shortage,” coupled with “a massive influx of buyers who want to be back in the city,” is making it difficult for even his wealthiest clients to find quality housing, according to Lurie.

“So you have TikTok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza … And this is why so many of us can’t have a sane conversation with younger Jews because anything that we try to say to them, they are hearing it through this wall of carnage. So I want to give data and information and facts and arguments and they are just seeing in their minds carnage and I sound obscene.”

Wall of Carnage Gazans, Olive Trees and Mosques
In the small town of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, where I live, during Israel’s destruction of the Gaza Strip, a Democratic Party activist hung a flag of the state of Israel across the way from the only grocery store in town -- so that almost every member of the community would see it.

Spotted a newly cleaned-up area across the street from the northeast tip of Bernal Heights Park, with some little plants like this coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis). It's nice to see this kind of stewardship and especially the use of SF native plants

A small shrub with spiny green leaves grows in a vertical form, perhaps 2-3 feet high, in a roadside garden era mulched with twigs and thin wood chips, alongside a few other small plants and a stone. A metal guardrail runs across the back of the space, and in the corner is a larger, more mature shrub with tall pinkish-orange flowers (that I don't think is native).

8 of 11 supervisors support Prop D, the Overpaid CEO Tax. That's as close to consensus as we get in SF. Even moderates recognize taxing the biggest corporations, when they just got Trump tax cuts, is preferable to painful cuts to public services.
Dorsey, Mandelman, Mayor Lurie, and Scott Wiener really stand out here as out of touch with their districts and the city.
