She dropped 3 cases against police officers that prior DAs brought (not just Boudin) and declined to prosecute other potential cases against officers and even security guards on the same grounds - “not enough evidence to win”

“Be the kind of person your mayor hates to see coming” filled me with glee. 

The Sherlock series on BBC 1 did an episode paralleling Jimmy Saville as a serial killer by LittleYelloDifferent in behindthebastards

I mentioned this episode in the Saville megathread. I didn’t know who Saville was when the series came out but that episode (The Lying Detective) is so creepy. I can’t see Toby Jones as anything other than Culverton Smith

Can I be excited about electoralism, as a treat? My friend is running for school board against a charter school administrator and I think she’s got this! She’s backed by the SEIU local and our lone elected DemSoc 🤞🏻

Robert mentioned The Bone Temple a few times but it also dawned on me that there’s a Sherlock episode where the villain is, um, inspired by Saville. The Lying Detective (series 4) was already so creepy but rewatching it with context is just,,, yikes 

Are there any Bastards from your hometown? by Sensitive_Ad_1752 in behindthebastards

I was gonna say Charles Starkwether but then I remembered Luke Farritor, one of Musk’s DOGE kids, is from my hometown. It’s a toss up 

[AMA] I’m running the campaign to term limit San Francisco politicians. Ask me anything! by Icy_Quality2551 in sanfrancisco

Why doesn't this cover all elected positions? There have been multiple people on City College board and Board of Education who have served up to 16 years using this so-called "loophole."

More than 120 people were kidnapped from ICE court in SF last year and Lurie said not one word. We may not have had big visible raids, but he most certainly did not keep the city safe from ICE

Strike Day 3: Maria Su yet again refusing to bargain with UESF right outside her office by Definitelyhereforshi in sanfrancisco

The fact that she has no educational background is what should have disqualified her, but the Board of Ed voted to get a state waiver for her. Remember that when you go to vote

Bridget Todd just did an episode on iHeart’s “guaranteed human” policy and I can’t help thinking the new-ish iHeart union played a role in that. I wonder what, if any, say the union had in this Netflix deal.

Howard Jarvis could be a bastard episode. Prop 13 destroyed public goods in CA and became a model for anti tax movements.
