1/ saw Rent tonight. Mostly feels entirely contemporary, centering LGBTQ/Black characters; explorations of homeless/drug/AIDS/gentrification…but you know what just fucking killed me?
2/ two couples in their 20s behind me and kid who were talking about how they had *no idea* what show was about before it started (ok fine) and then…in a show about poverty or deprivation…
3/ went on to talks, LOUDLY, about their various cars, and their parents $2M Cupertino mansion, and the Grand piano that nobody plays but for which walls had be moved…

Rich techies, teach your kids to stfu, if only for their own safety omfg.
4/ and some people in Bay Area reading this will be like, $2M in Cupertino doesn’t go far and…you, also, STFU!
5/ I got so much (ignorant/damming) information out of these (almost certainly) Apple employee kids just by happenstance and zero effort on my part. Don’t want your kids hacked? teach them some values/manners so as to avoid!

God San Francisco government is a never-ending exercise in shooting ourselves in the foot: sfchronicle.com/food/restauran…
Meanwhile, the project to get new garbage cans is entering it's 4th year.

Governments have a deputy mayor—with a staff, a budget, and a vibrant communications shop—of eliminating stupid. Done right, it would pay for itself.

There is, I swear, some good news out there. Like this: nytimes.com/interactive/20… Image
The vaccination rates for 65+ are pretty astounding. But I may be most gobsmacked at the "at least one dose" for everybody over the age of 5. (And possibly need a refresher on bell curves.) nytimes.com/interactive/20… Image
Would FURTHER point out that this is proof that die-hard anti-vax people are a tiny but super loud minority and that if we were to say, require proof of at least one shot to fly (exceptions for littles/medical counter-indicators) we'd persuade most holdouts, isolate rest.

Who could have seen this coming? Me! Had an insane interaction with him in 2014; when he defended Adrian Peterson’s child abuse, then reversed himself when called out, then attacked and blocked those who pointed this out to him. Sorry this guy was always bad news. Good riddance.
Toxic masculinity and nepotism, always a vile and too common mix.
Ask Jeff Zucker remains an enabler for all kinds of awful. No evidence of lessons learned there.

Coming to San Francisco?

DON’T: go to Fisherman’s Ward

DO: Anything literally anything else.

BUT: Compromise, skip the warf zone, go right to Aquatic Park.
Really the best advice about visiting SF is always have layers, never stay near Tenderloin, never leave valuables in a car, skip having a car—walk/transit/ride share—when in the city.
DO: take a ferry, do a @SFCityGuides tour, do visit SalesForce park (and GG/Chrissy Fields obvs), do catch a movie at The Castro, do eat in the neighborhoods, esp the Mission, do go to the Presidio/Ocean Beach…

Which is more unreliable: exit polls or preliminary jobs reports.

So many narratives launched…so many times new data comes in that radically modifies or even reverses the findings, but no matter, the narrative has cemented.
People who really know this stuff know how deeply flawed these mechanisms are, but we keep on structuring reporting and major decisions on it.
At least we have a medium simmer debate about exit/all polls, but no even “grain of salt” provisos are attached to most accounts of jobs reports, just breathlessly announced, with instant confident analysis about what it means….

1/ This weekend, a ton of people pitched in to buy ~$16,000 of supplies for 24 low-income schools. (see 🧵)

Today, a new thread that focuses on technology for such schools. Consider adding to/subbing for your #CyberMonday shopping:
2/ All my suggestions will meet this criteria. Learn more at @DonorsChoose
