The "average hourly wage" for MUNI riders is $83.70 an hour, yet fares are less than $3 or $6 for all day. Fuel and sales taxes, vehicle fees, tolls, all subsidize transit. Now property taxes too? Transit riders can pay more and should. Please vote NO on SF Prop H. media.api.sf.gov/.../MUNI_par....

The picture says: "H NO Raise Fares, Not Taxes" The meaning is: Please vote no on SF Prop H.

In Washington today, Pres. Donald J. Trump complained to a nearly empty room that the National Anthem was too old and tired and possibly woke. Later, in keeping with tradition, he posted an Executive Order to his social media account replacing the current anthem with "YMCA" by the Village people.

Canada and Denmark/Greenland share not only a 2,000 mile maritime border but also a short land border through the middle of Han Island. Our lust for Greenland could be a strategic move to annex Canada by eliminating its only border with the EU and thereby surrounding it with U.S. territories.

Virginia is home to an exceptional workforce — and our workers deserve a Governor who will grow and invest in our talent here at home. My Growing Virginia Plan will address workforce shortages, expand training programs, and create more good-paying jobs right here in the Commonwealth.

California Gov. Newsom wags his finger at a sad-looking old man in a baseball cap. Air Force One is in the background.

"A note from the editors:... This [story] was a mistake not just by the reporter but by the Standard’s editorial team..." Yet the SFStandard still seems oddly detached from the real story: Who cleared this "mistake"? What were they thinking? What made them change their mind? Why is it still up?

Some early adopters use the term "skeet." I find the term derivative and lacking imagination (sky + tweet) and frankly somewhat triggering. To me, it evokes an old relationship that ended badly. I prefer "post" or "posted" and will continue to do so until someone comes up with something better.
