Say my names, say my names: You know the article will suck when you have an author who insists on a three name name (like a serial killer or presidential assassin), and they use the word "I" multiple times up front and continue to talk All About Them ("SF Weekly Takes a (Pod) Nap," Julia Carrie Wong, The Snitch, 10/2/15). This isn't high school, no one cares, you suck, sit down, shut the fuck up. PJ

It's like Airbnb, but legal: Newsflash: many owners don't use Airbnb any more and are now renting on the temporary 1-6 month corporate model ("Branch Office of 'No on F' Vandalized, 'Fuck Airbnb,'" Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, The Snitch, 10/1/15). It is perfectly legal and removes the burden of having to rent to long-term tenants who don't seem to understand the difference between owning and renting. Ted G

Somebody buy Betty a steak: If you get kicked off of the Napa Wine Train, it is because your mouth is too big and you are drunk! ("Women Kicked Off the Napa Valley Wine Train Are Suing for $11 Million," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 10/1/15). Get off the damn train and walk to the nearest winery. Oh, poor things, stuck in Rutherford with no choice but to get a steak at Rutherford Grill. Did they learn not to shout and ruin other people's experience? No, and that is a shame. Betty

He's blunt: Free speech is harmful and hateful and should be banished! Amazed this was published ("Haters to the Left," Julia Carrie Wong, 10/1/15). Politically correct

But he's condescending, too: The author doesn't have a basic understanding of what hate crimes are, or why they're important to prosecute. Amazed this was published. Jeremy Merrill

It might actually be Lucy Liu: There needs to be a maximum wage vs. minimum wage ("San Francisco's Booming Economy Hasn't Been Good to African-Americans," Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 10/5/15) — instead of paying young kids with no family obligations $200,000 a year to sit at Philz Coffee all day playing the latest Candy Crush "mind chewing gum" game with their Lucy Liu wannabes. Kill Bill

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
