You can also go to a public library and have a conversation with a librarian that might help you expand your taste and worldview instead of merely affirming it. They’ll even let you check out the books for free.
You can give ChatGPT a photo of an empty bookshelf and ask it to fill the shelves with real books based on what it knows about you. Kinda fun that image gen is so good now!

Gonna move to Elmwood just so I can join in on the yard sign debate of THEYRE GONNA BULLDOZE THE BLOCK or maybe build a 5 story building.

Welp, that's a season in the books, RootsFam. Here are my talking points from Oakland Roots' 3-2 comeback loss to Sacramento Republic. Was it the most painful loss in Roots' history, or was it the 2021 PK loss to OC? Notes on points missed, look ahead to 2027, what Ryan Martin said about improving the roster, the decisions on who returns, who leaves, and contract situations to watch oaklandrootsblog.com/2026/10…

All the other teams did what they were supposed to. Roots did not. Having to clinch against a rival I’ve never seen them beat is brutal.

The only voices not in strong opposition/suspicion to new data centers in Oakland at a D3 Community Meeting today: an economic fallacy, talking about unrelated possible American Steel tenants, and a pair of Pechenuks.

Just spotted these on windshields around the Acorn apartments. Are the puppet videos not effective?
I was handed this Oakland Watch booklet today that claims Sheng Thao and Barbara Lee lead the political machine responsible for corruption in Oakland. I was wondering who was associated with Oakland Watch and then the guy walked by again with Seneca Scott. Of course.

It is the 60th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther party and Oakland is having events all month long to celebrate. I put together this self-guided tour to see various historic landmarks around Oakland. oaklandside.org/2026/10/16/o…

I’m pretty sure anyone still wearing an A’s hat in the East Bay is purely fashion related

Looks like a new ‘In this house’ sign dropped in Napa. Someone’s making good money selling “Climate Can’t Wait” lawn signs.

I think I’m friends with @SaraBareilles’ dad now.
