I was the only out queer guy in rock': Faith No More's Roddy Bottum

I'm not a big fan of rock memoirs they're the most predictable, name-droppy, sub-literature experiences. The Royal We certainly isn't name-droppy Bottum doesn't even use the surnames of his bandmates. And while he outlines the group's origins and early development, this takes a back seat to his youth escapades in San Francisco, before the internet, before that city got ruined.

All San Francisco SNAP Users Will Receive Prepaid Grocery Cards in November. Here's How to Claim Yours | KQED

If you're one of the roughly 112,000 people in San Francisco receiving benefits through CalFresh - the state's version of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, sometimes referred to as food stamps - you'll be receiving a prepaid grocery card this week from the city. But the White House warned that payments would still only be half of people's regular benefits, and that there could be lengthy delays before EBT cards are reloaded. And on Tuesday, Trump threatened to once again withhold SNAP payments entirely. If you're a San Francisco resident using CalFresh, here's what to know about getting your prepaid grocery card - from how to activate your card to how much money the card will contain. Only one card will be sent to San Francisco CalFresh users, and you'll have to activate your card by December 31 for it to remain valid.

Waymo killed KitKat. California neighborhood mourns a corner-store cat

KitKat graced the counters of Randa's Market on 16th Street, near the historic Roxie Theater in the Mission District. KitKat was first introduced on the store's Instagram page six years ago, quickly winning over the hearts of customers. He wasn't a surly or suspicious cat - he could be seen playing with someone's dangling hoodie drawstrings; snoozing in front of shelves with liquor bottles; inside a cardboard box marked with his name; greeting the neighborhood dogs; even dressing up as Santa Claus.

The Oldest Italian Restaurants In The US - Daily Meal

All national cuisines have history, but few wear their age as proudly as Italian food. The heritage, passed-down recipes, and restaurants run by multiple generations of the same family is a large part of what makes Italian cuisine so appealing: Eating food that's been made the same way for decades, if not centuries, feels like you're taking part in tradition.
