Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

I don't normally post about current events, but this is something I show solidarity with 🙏

I hope the Teachers get what they're asking for.

Teachers are CRUCIAL to society.

I support their fight.

my big takeaway from @emmaruthless.bsky.social's SFUSD strike diary: anyone trying to tell you it's families vs. teachers is trying to sell you a load of crap www.coyotemedia.org/area-teacher...

The viral $3.50 fish sandwich everyone's obsessed with — a Chinese bakery’s fried fish bao — is drawing 2-hour lines in San Leandro. Is it the new Filet-O-Fish? @soleilho.com tested it with everything from Puerto Rican pique to jalapeño pickles to find out.

Some great news. My hybrid memoir IN OPEN COUNTRY will now be published by Little, Brown. It’s about freedom of movement and stillness in the US, and the ways capitalism & settler colonialism have shaped (and continue to shape) the answer to who has either across time. I also do a lot of walking.
The Publishers Marketplace announcement of my book, which reads “Rahawa Haile's IN OPEN COUNTRY, a personal and political hybrid memoir of the author's transformative Appalachian Trail thru-hike, exploring the history of freedom of movement in the United States, and reckoning with America's foundational myth of conquered wilderness, the violence of national borders, and the legacy of diasporic placelessness, moving to Bryn Clark at Little, Brown, at auction, by Julia Kardon at HG Literary (NA).”

“The Super Bowl seems like a quaint thing to protest during a civil war,” a friend told me. Well, yes. But there's more to the story.

Unwelcome statues, beaches full of trash, homeless sweeps, and a $5M price tag infuriated many in SF when the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area in 2016. 10 years later, as the big game circus returns, the city is quiet. @nuala.bsky.social asks, what’s changed?

Ten years ago, protesters took to the streets to slam San Francisco’s Super Bowl City and call for an end to homeless sweeps. As the game returns to the Bay this week, why are things so quiet?

In 2016, the last time the Super Bowl came to the Bay Area, SF residents vandalized statues, threw a nationally-covered protest, and bemoaned the high cost to taxpayers. Why are things so quiet this year?
I break it down in @coyotemedia.org.

One big difference at COYOTE: We promise that none of our worker-owners will invest millions of dollars into allowing billionaires to continue avoiding paying into CA’s social safety net!
Michael Moritz, the billionaire co-founder of the San Francisco Standard, has reportedly poured seven figures into a group that could help punt California’s controversial wealth tax proposal.
