Wondering why the left is split in SF’s Congressional race to replace Nancy Pelosi? This is by far the best overview I’ve seen: jacobin.com/2026/06/sf-congres

In San Francisco, a Divided Left Eyes Nancy Pelosi’s Seat
Two progressives — Justice Democrats cofounder Saikat Chakrabarti and union-backed city hall veteran Connie Chan — are fighting to advance past the primary for Nancy Pelosi’s congressional seat. Their race has become a referendum on the SF left’s future.

If you followed that route you likely have many small teams that need to coordinate with each other for every change you make.

headed to the post office to mail a couple mix tapes to ypsilanti and rockingham (va)

Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels. Tape 1 (purple with green polka dots) A solid violet-purple background covered edge to edge with dozens of hand-painted green dots, scattered in loose clusters rather than a strict grid — playful, almost confetti-like. Simple two-color palette, high contrast. ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels. Tape 1 (magenta/red top, red with painted loops on bottom) The top panel (the label area over the cassette windows) has a pink-to-magenta gradient sitting above a red band flecked with small blue dots, like leopard-print texture. Below the cassette hubs, the second panel is a solid red field with loose, looping line-drawings in blue, purple, and maroon — they read like abstract scribbled circles/knots rather than representational shapes. ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels. Tape 2 (dark abstract/textured — reddish brown) This one has a more painterly, textured look: a mottled rust/copper background (looks like it could be a marbled or sponge-textured paint job) with a large dark navy/black organic blob in the upper left, a bold red circular "eye" or button shape right of center, and a thin lavender line running along the bottom edge. Moodier and more atmospheric than the other tapes. ALT by Claude
Hand-painted J-cards and tape labels. Tape 2 (green/red with wormlike shapes) Top panel: green field over a red stripe, straightforward color-blocking. Bottom panel: bright green background with two long, wavy worm/snake shapes — one red-and-pink striped, one green-and-lavender striped — winding across the panel, surrounded by small dark magenta polka dots.

In the sure and certain knowledge that the problem probably really was insuperable and sooner or later you will be stopped by a subtask you cannot complete... And that will have to be left as an insuperable problem for the next day. Rinse and repeat.

Most of the left side and the center of the central flower is in shadow, with only its stigma rising above and catching the light, bright against the shadowed rest,…
again a similar view, this time in a horizontal image, with the main, in-focus flower at the top edge, and one particular background flower echoing it at the bottom, both framed by dark blueish shadow

Just started listening to this one, and I'd absolutely recommend it. It's great.
It's really hard to explain how complicated beliefs can be, especially to folks in an urban bubble. The truth is, part of my anarchism came from listening to #rural folks. I didn't really live in a big city until I was like 18, but I came to those places already with a set of liberal biases.
Some of the things I experienced in those places pushed me towards being a Communist. But there are some strangely anarchistic tenancies, even in those who profess to be politically the opposite.
My stance on guns was largely shaped by understanding and extending the arguments of rural gun owners. They continued to evolve long after, but it took actually listening to break through my liberal biases and understand the ways in which gun control can actually intersect with other forms of oppression. There is a lot more nuance than I had grown up to believe.
And it goes both ways. Conservative gun owners have absolutely no intellectual against anarchist gun arguments. They're generally either gonna fall into racism that you can talk about, or start to radicalize left. There are plenty of similar pathways.
But also, not everyone in rural areas is conservative. There are plenty of rural anarchists and communists. They just get buried under stereotypes.
Anyway, this has been great to listen to and I'd recommend it.

Some random guy was repairing his stupid car in front of my house today. Hours later, after he'd left, there was a pile of random garbage (food wrappers, empty drink bottles, etc), along with car repair stuff (gallon bottles of distilled water, empty bottle of antifreeze, a dirty rag, etc) just left behind on the street.

The image is a close-up, waist-level shot of a person wearing a black t-shirt and camouflage-patterned pants. Attached to the person's belt is a black holster, commonly used for carrying a firearm. However, instead of a weapon, a yellow wrapper with the words "CHEESE BURGER" printed in large, bold, orange letters is sticking out of the holster. The wrapper appears to be from a fast-food item, likely a cheeseburger. The person's hand is visible on the left side of the frame, resting near the hol…

In a pair of rulings yesterday, a federal judge dealt two blows to Trump’s stewardship of the Kennedy Center, which he took over last year:
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ordered the removal within two weeks of Trump’s name from the institution,
which Congress established as a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy in 1964,
and he partially granted a preliminary injunction, saying that the center had to halt plans to close.

Both the SF Congress race and the California gubernatorial have this weird dynamic where the viable candidate with the most-left platform is an ultra-rich person self-funding their campaign. I don't like it, but nor do I like that the alternatives — the candidates of relatively humble origins — are selling out *to* ultra-rich people. It seems like a symptom of our new gilded age.

Various shrubs and herbs, including bush monkeyflower, also known as sticky monkeyflower, with its characteristic light-orange trumpet-like flowers, said to resemble a monkey's face. In the foreground, an herb, coast buckwheat, with white flower clusters, and deep green leaves belonging to coast strawberry creep down a small stone.
Hooker's evening primrose plants, tall herbs with big yellow flowers. Oaks behind them.
Common yarrow (herb with white flower clusters), orange California poppies that have closed up for the evening, and a hummingbird sage next to the poppies. The area is mulched and has teal flags to indicate plantings.
