Sunday 2PM: This masked manchild rolled up to Dolores Park with a megaphone in order to assault hundreds of people's ears/minds with "radical" disjointed takes for over two hours. His message: "We live under fascism -- stop doomscrolling, come together, *do* something." Very clearly unread on any revolutionary history/theory (a feat in the Bay Area imo). When confronted, he'd say to everyone, "Any of you are free to call the police." An elderly neighbor that lives nearby told me he did the same thing last weekend, also for over two hours. His rant was so grating that many of us had to move to the other side of the park.

Here he is today at 5pm, at it again outside 16th Mission BART. If he actually wants to help people, why not join a real grassroots effort...? My guess: he's either a useful idiot or paid to perform.

Anyone here recognize him?

Hey now! I was already enjoying this great article from @MLNow, and then I saw they’d embedded this epic performance I recorded — just the audio — at my studio 10+ years ago. This is the first time I met Thomas Pridgen, he is still such an incredible drummer. Actually, all these musician’s are just mind blowing! #Music #SFMusic #BayArea https://sfba.social/@MLNow/117151939976200878

Not many people have ever been in this area, and it's so close to urban centers.

#NFL owner Jed York of #BayArea 49ers football team arrested on #prostitution charge in #EastPalestine #Ohio... York had $160 seized by MVHTFF (Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force)" and his #criminal matter was reduced in a #pleadeal after paying $1150 fine, and has now been released from custody after one night in jail.

In 2023 John Edward York ( I.e Jed), was accused of securities fraud for unloading stock in an online education platform that enabled #cheating on exams. He's been married to a former school teacher since 2011 and has two sons who live with him in the family's estate in Los Altos hills California.

The 6th most valuable NFL franchise has had Jed acting as the principal owner and #CEO after being placed in that role in 2008 by his mother Denise DeBartolo York and her family, who who appear at No. 163 in the latest #Forbes400 from an estimated net worth of $8.4 billion mostly from the football team, and real estate development of shopping malls.

Jed's grandfather Eddie DeBartolo Jr had run-ins with the law as well and was ousted from leadership of the #SuperBowl contender team after being caught in an #FBI sting making bribes to the governor of Louisiana
