Dang, FREAKY TALES is such a fun movie, and I'm amazed it's gotten so little attention! Hilarious, gorgeous, action-packed, & emotionally rich, with Pedro Pascal & tons of cool cameos. Plus everybody vs. skinheads. Immensely gratifying. Too bad it's so hard to find!
If you're in the Bay Area, you must see it at Oakland's Grand Lake Theatre! It's there through at least May 6. https://www.renaissancerialto.com
Stick around for the end credits music video
More SF in food. Better than waiting in line all day for Bill Graham which I did consider
Arsicault - blackberry almond hazelnut croissant () and morning bun
El Castillito - Burrito al pastor
Hog Island - Seafood stew and Bourbon chipotle oysters
Some California Scrub-Jay's on the fence looking for a nest

Fast Radio Bursts: An Enduring Cosmic Mystery
Professor Bryan Gaensler will explain how fast radio bursts were discovered, why they’re so enigmatic, and how they could be key to understanding some of the fundamental properties of the Universe.

One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco at the moment is Yemeni Kabab & Mediterranean near Market & Taylor.
The traditional haneeth, kabsa and mandi plates are excellent. The mezzes are fantastic. They have very affordable lunch plates too, and I love the tea they offer. One of those small homey places with seriously good food and vibes.
It’s much better than restaurants in that category that cost 2x more.
The old Sunset magazine campus in Menlo Park, with its beautiful old MCM buildings and landscaping, is in danger of being razed for development. Sunset created much of the "western living" ethos there in the 1950s, but the property is not (yet) considered historic.
I know the bay area desperately needs development but there's a lot that will be lost here, and I feel sad about it. Article has more info and an email address to comment (before 4/30).
