this timeline just keeps getting darker...

Of all the photos I took at the #nokings protest in san francisco... this might be my favorite #protecttranskids

Regardless of where you stand on the political spectrum, we should all be able to agree that peaceful protests are a good thing. The kid and I went up to the SF #nokings protest where there were 100k+ people with kids and dogs and funny signs. In a gorgeous city, on a gorgeously warm day. 10/10.

Purity Ring at The Warfield. This was maybe one of the best set/stage designs i've ever seen. #livemusic

Giving big “no, really… i have a girlfriend... she just goes to a different school…” vibes.

Wolf Alice at the fox. I love how much these guys just throw spaghetti at the wall… here’s a whole bunch of songs, all crazy different… good luck audience! #liveMusic

It's time to go to bed, grandpa, you're drunk.

Sad to miss out on the end of alien earth, but... yeah, they can all eat a big bag of dicks.

Kruder and Dorfmeister doing "The K&D Sessions" Live. I *loved* this djset-remix-album in the early 00's. Roni Size, and Depeche Mode, and Bone Thugs ‘N Harmony… it was an eclectic. Doing it live 25 years later? Mind-blowing. Double drum kits and all. Man. That was _something else_.

You really can't make this shit any weirder. The president of the united states. Wearing a hat saying "i was right about everything", holding up a photo of him and putin—proudly to the camera... i mean what the actual living fuck, man. #stupidestGoddamnTimeline

Ok… So the party that cares about the children, just offered ghislane maxwell—a known abuser and sex trafficker—immunity. The same ghislane that was caught lying repeatedly under oath. Who *trafficked* children… Why you would trust her even on what time of day it is? But this is fine. Cool, cool.

Because the world fucking sucks, and everything is bad, here is a snoot (photo taken by my daughter). Snoots, although dampish, generally make everything better. Can confirm.

This guy out here doing the lord's work and preaching the hawaiian pizza gospel. Not sure this is the right time my dude, but i appreciate the effort. #nokings #sanfrancisco

It was a LOT of people—just people and signs as far as you could see. #nokings #sanfrancisco

San Francisco. ”‘Liberty Requires Eternal Vigilance.’ So Here We Are!“ #nokings #sanfrancisco

San Francisco showed up. #nokings #sanfrancisco

Sleigh Bells @ August Hall. 90 minutes of frenetic energy, sweat and noise. Loved it. #livemusic

When you get to see your favorite band of all time. Slowdive at the fox. Stunning. #shoegaze

Momma at August Hall. Packed house and great show. These guys are really awesome straight forward alt-rock. Loved it.

Question for anyone playing/played Clair Obscur Expedition 33: How many of you are also maining Lune, just to not hear the footfall sounds...? (also, Lune rocks, best girl, 100%) @expedition33.bsky.social

”CAUTION: DO NOT FEED THE BILLIONAIRES” San Francisco. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #TeslaTakedownSF

I had a friend ask why I got to these. Will he still be the richest man in the world? Likely. Will it change anything? Dunno. It makes me feel better though. So yeah, i'll go hangout in the sidewalk for an hour or two if it takes this fucker down an notch and out of our government. #teslatakedown

San Francisco: ”Elon prefers Drake over Kendrick”. That tracks. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #TeslaTakedownSF

San Francisco: We stand against your agenda of hate. #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #TeslaTakedownSF

The saint. Top gun. But also, always this:

Man. @booker.senate.gov, you did us all proud today. It's wonderful to watch someone stand up like you did. Let it inspire everyone.

His expression says everything. Clown car. #teslatakedown palo alto.

Eat the rich. @teslatakedown.com Palo alto. #teslatakedown

palo alto. fuck fa[s]cism. #teslaTakedown

Wow. So they’re now saying that the reporter accidentally included in the group chat “hacked his way in”. We’ve gone from “it didn’t happen” to “there was nothing with classified” to “it was fine and legal” to “we want to use the best technology” to “he hacked his way in”. Stupidest timeline.

I cannot express how much I love Kat Abu… it’s a weird run, but—by god—let’s get someone under 60 (or 80?) into the goddamned scene. Listen. Donate.

Pom Pom Squad at the Rickshaw Stop. Really fun show. Tons of energy—just some truly delightful power-pop. #liveMusic

Someone thought they were really funny leaving a dime tip at the bar. Don’t be a dick. Tip your bartender. It’s a hard-ass job. #dontbeadick

This is effective.

Since I mentioned it on @lonesomebluejay.bsky.social's post about Carnavas—Pikul continues to be my other favorite Silversun Pickups album. It's a no-skip record. "Creation Lake" and "Kissing Families" might be my favorite songs by them, ever. It's a bit more raw—but it delivers. #nowspinning

Went out with the folks protesting outside of the Palo Alto Tesla Dealership. #teslaTakedown

G. Love & Special Sauce @ August Hall last night. This one was more a show for the Mrs, than for me—but I have to say, the second set was pretty incredible. #livemusic

I'm not the biggest pumpkins fan. If you'd ask me on the street, i'd say their best album was Siamese Dream—or maybe Pisces Iscariot (that album rocks). Anyway, I impulse-bought the boxed set of Mellon Collie… and I gotta say… This really is something special. I forgot. #nowPlaying #nowSpinning

And tonight: soccer mommy. I saw her for the first time (I think) in Atlanta ~2018. This was a hell of a show. Her ear and musicality delivers.

"Dickless chode" isn't enough. "Asshat" isn't enough. "Fucking cowardly piece of shit" isn't enough. There's not a strong enough insult in the english language for what an absolute waste of space Marco Rubio has become.

Kavinsky at The Midway. I hate to say it, but this maybe wasn’t for me. Not that it wasn’t good, but I just came in with the wrong expectations. In hindsight: It’s in a nightclub… Dude’s not even going on before 11:30 because: nightclub. And it’s going to be a DJ set, because: nightclub.

Since the rest of the world sucks, I can at least confirm Phantogram kicked ass tonight. Do yourself a favor and go catch some live music.

I finally got around to playing Gris. It was gorgeous. The music was so wonderful. It felt like being in a watercolor… I'd heard “oh, you’re gonna cry…” They weren’t wrong. That penultimate achievement hits like a freight train. “Oh. Oh… OOOOH. Shit. Oh shit…” What an amazing experience. 10/10

San Francisco. #FiftyFiftyOne #NoKings #Resist #USProtests

What the actual fuck? I... I don't even know where to begin. The AI generated voices? The AA/NA setup? Who on earth sees this and thinks "yeah, this is my jam"?

So I haven't shot any "real" photos in 20+ years... It's been fun (and so damned hard) to re-learn this muscle memory. Imposter's syndrome is a thing. But from me to you: go out and shoot. This ain't great, but it's what I took. Working in 85mm did not make it easier. #streetphotography #photosky
