SF Weekly Letters for the Week of October 1-7, 2015 

Comments

Don't let facts get in the way of the truth: Unopposed, really? Sorry, but talk about shoddy journalism! ("Eddie, Inc.," Chris Roberts, 9/24/15) Are there other people on the ballot? If the answer is yes, then that means that disgrace of a mayor is, in fact, opposed. The honorable thing to do would be to rewrite your essay and include the facts this time. Pilarstar

We accept cash, debit, and credit: What great feat of political prowess does it take for a politician to stroke the millionaires who shamelessly throw away money in this manner? Lee has never "tried that hard" to raise campaign funds because he is a corporate prostitute. We all know this already, but it is shocking to me that to be "legit" as a mayoral candidate in your eyes the criteria seems to be money. How much money does a candidate need to get a mention in SF Weekly? Jason Blalock

Repetition is the key to learning: The inaccurate story about the mayor running unopposed has been written countless times. The story about all his money has been written countless times. Why not write something new about the underdogs who are trying to raise issues against huge odds? Not to support them, but that they are running, and do, in fact, have some support. Time to break the standard, constantly repeated narrative. Christopher Cook

Last week was the sex issue: You might as well be licking Ed Lee's balls too with this article. Hellsrazor

This proves nothing: Yeah, let's vilify yoga studios, vintage clothing shops, art galleries, grocery stores, and the restaurants that are visited by (mostly progressive) white people ("Map: Are Coffee Shops Really Markers of Gentrification?", Jeremy Lybarger, The Snitch, 9/24/15). This proves that ultra-liberals (like ultra-conservatives) practice political cannibalism. Richmondman

Anybody know a good lawyer?: "Internships" are bullshit ("All Work and No Pay," Jack Morse, 9/24/15). They are just free labor for the stupidvisors or free trim, depending on who you work for. Hope someone sues the city for a lot of money. The city can stick it. Stupidvisor Trim Coodinator

  • 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.'"
