The Weekly 0x000AStandard

What Bjorn learned from this article: Very thin on facts, lots of rhetorical flourish, but ultimately we learn nothing. ["The Treasurer's Secret: How did S.F.'s treasurer get Airbnb to pay its taxes?" Joe Fitzgerald Rodriguez, News, 6/4] This is the new standard at the Weekly? Bjorn

Stop Blaming 0x000AWealthy People!

["Here's Your First Anti-Gentrification Anthem of 2015: "Mission, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down," Emma Silvers, All Shook Down, 6/9] It only becomes a problem because all of you — in SF, in the East Bay, in the South Bay, in this whole region — want to have all the jobs around you while building no housing to go with it.

  • 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.'"
