So I read this:

AT&T makes final push for U-Verse service in S.F.

and I was like this:

because that’s how dealing with Comcast makes me feel. So I wrote this and this:

To whom it may concern at SF Beautiful,
I am writing to implore you to consider that not all of San Francisco opposes the necessary revitalization our deficient infrastructure. I am a resident of Balboa Terrace in District 7 and I have written to my supervisor, which I share with you below. However, Sean Elsbernd has already been a proponent of allowing another telecom company compete in our city. My district is not represented in the list of neighborhood associations that have signed on in the campaign in support of corporate monopoly. Yes, I perceive the effect that existing utility boxes have on San Francisco, but surely one must be blind to consider allowing Comcast’s chokehold on consumers to continue.

With glowering sincerity,
Eric SooHoo
District 7

Subject: Please support AT&T infrastructure upgrade
To: Sean.Elsbernd@sfgov.org


Supervisor Elsbernd,
My name is Eric SooHoo and I am a resident of your district in Balboa Terrace. I am writing to urge you to support AT&T’s internet infrastructure upgrade plans for our city. AT&T is no prize pig, but I shouldn’t need to explain the detriments of letting Comcast, currently the only real high-speed internet provider, operate an unregulated monopoly. More utility boxes may provide an eyesore to the bourgeoisie, but the facts are clear: without competition, we all lose. Thanks.

Sincerely,
Eric SooHoo
District 7

Gonna go tell some kids to get off my lawn, brb.

Just tell me what the deal is, I really don’t need to hear your non sequitur nonsense stories. I know you feel like you have to prove that you’re cuter and cleverer than everyone else, but just focus on doing your job well and everything will be fine.

Sorry Groupon. We can get through this together.

I stepped inside this bourgie-ass interior decorating store down on 4th street in Berkeley and was blown away by this minimalist, Minecraft-esque piece.

Full description here. Key features include its ‘Raw finish’ and the handcrafted ‘stone composite and natural fibers.’ Claims of CO2 load-reduction are dubious: 1) It’s probably already made of Portland cement, and 2) They don’t make it here. They have to ship finished slabs over from Vietnam.

This shouldn’t be more than $60 (1/3 of a yard of concrete, conservatively). Can be yours for just $399.

The sad part about tumblr’s April fool’s joke is how believable it is. When the servers are down half the time because of bad scaling, running out of post ID’s doesn’t seem implausible. Respect for being able to make fun of yourselves.

oh damn, Draper cried, shit just got real.

finishing season 3 tonight.
