It's our week up on the weekly-reading duties! Last week's winner from SFist Sarah L, the SF Weekly. A letter writer says: "While Matt [Gonzalez] may not be the next Picasso (but don't count him out)..." It doesn't matter what the rest of the letter says. The SF Fire Department gave a bad test. Cover article: We hate baby boomers and their dirty self-centered hippie ways. Carnivorous plants! Yay, the SFIFF! A flyer fell out......

Okay, we finally got out of the house and picked up a hard copy of the Bay Guardian. And yes -- we're in it! Your SFist editors are right behind the guy making what looks like a less-than sign with his right hand, and right in front of what looks like a giant inflatable beer, on page 53. As an extra bonus We Read The Weeklies feature this week, we present: The Best of the......

There's so many 1906 earthquake related events, we've gotta do a third post rounding up your tourism options! Keep sending those events on in! Previous posts here and here. Additional events listings here, and here's the official San Francisco Rising website too, if you want it. The Exploratorium's got a monthlong series of events about the science of earthquake. You may have missed the restaging of San Francisco in jello by Liz Hickok, but......

For once, a BART delay not caused by "switching problems" at Millbrae -- those of you trying to cross the Bay this morning probably heard the repeated announcements about "police activity" at the West Oakland station, and the subsequent crawling-rate of the trains as a result. (We had a weekly with us through the stop-and-go, so tomorrow's We Read The Weeklies will be unusually thorough as a result.) Turns out someone shouted out at the......

Oh nooooo! "Anonymous" (but we know better) commenters employed at The Wave rear their ugly heads again as they post the same comment twice in our continuing coverage of the concerns over the veracity (among other things) of Harmon Leon's final Infiltrator column. Note to Wave employees: per our comments policy "Good comments are rarely anonymous, because good commenters stand behind their opinions". Also, if you think that throwing stones from your glass house of......

...any way we want to, got it? This week -- with 100% less poo! Well, we hope. Last week's triumph of the Guardian was a shocker, let's see how our three competitors fare in this, the last We Read The Weeklies of 2005. The Guardian pulls no punches with its cover story on The Year in Film. Daly vs the Ellis Act. Mirkarimi's Comcast metaphor comes up again. More on the HopeNet raid. Fascinating......

This morning we were thinking about how our life would change if we got fired. Besides finally having time to work out, we'd finally be able to read our online reserves as quickly as the SFPL makes them available to us. Then again, we suppose those paychecks are what makes us able to go buy books from our fine independent bookstores so it all works out in the long run. SFist Eve has such......

Last week's winner, the SF Weekly. What, no Apologist this week? We have a confession to make -- we've been writing an "Are you an Apologist for SFist?" column in our head for ages! ("Do you think she really reads the Weeklies every week? a) With the number of comments they get, they should rename it "WHO reads We Read The Weeklies." b) Sure -- why else would you brag about staying informed about the latest public power issues? c) Hey, at least when she's writing that, she's not putting up those asinine Animal Reports."). Harmon Leon goes to Amber Frey's Learning Annex class. Cover article: anti-Muslim discrimination in local schools. OK Then interviews local music blogger Matt Ness. And Liz Phair, self-hating. TheGuardian: Tim Redmond on (you guessed it) public power! A.C. Thompson: did you know parolees are required to live in the county where they got arrested when they get out? Why? Annalee Newitz cracks open some fantasy novels. Cover: SFist Interview alum Steve Jones on his Burning Man project with the Flaming Lotus Girls. The sex columnist on cutting off that strip that holds your tongue in (the frenulum). And Sonic Reducer goes to Ozzfest. After the jump, the EBX and the pick of the week. (Apologist answer d: "I picked something this week; wanna see?")Last week's winner, the SF Weekly. What, no Apologist this week?
