Why is SF so smoky today?? Is it just from our own car & chimney fumes?

I’m sure nextdoor would tell you it’s from the damn kids & their ebikes/escooters!

Yay, I hope to see its impact in the Sunset in my lifetime 🀞

If we can’t get sunset miami beach, can we at least get the surrounding blocks of GGP to look like those around Central Park? Sunset & Richmond folks would love that πŸ˜‡

Damn, they don’t have only murders in the building in their retirement SFH?
Steve Martin & Martin Short are having so much fun in their high rise!

It was so good! All the parent - child relationships shown from different perspectives gave me so much to think about…
This book will make me a better parent & partner! And who knows, maybe it will help me with magic too πŸͺ„

It is wild to live in SF which has partially burned down a couple of times due to gas lines… and yet we’re still putting gas everywhere.
I’m sure it won’t be a problem next earthquake though

I consistently get my best software design ideas while biking on sunset dunes & not thinking about work at all…
Something about the mild exertion, caffeine & low stress.
Meanwhile I struggle with in-person brainstorms which I find stressful & unproductive

Yeah… It would easily be an 80% pay cut to move back to France for me. And probably just 100% for my partner who doesn’t speak french.
Also, I like SF, so I’d rather not be forced to move!

You can tell it’s going to be warm already… no fog & no wind by ocean beach

Ooh that is a good observation, I’ve been (naively) surprised at the amount of anti indian racism online under the cover of labor market concerns.
But now that you say it, that’s a very british thing to do

The new stern grove playground is nice, but it has no bathrooms and it’s super bike unfriendly to get to…
unfortunate

S.F. was supposed to have zero traffic deaths by now. What happened? San Francisco’s Vision Zero plan to end traffic deaths failed. A new resolution pushes for renewed enforcement, outreach, and accountability.

we tried nothing to reduce traffic deaths and it somehow didn’t work

Very cool sighting on sunset dunes: someone clearing sand with a street sweeper attached behind a bike.
I had never seen that before!

Yeah… if you’ve interacted with recall folks (which tbf also got Joel elected in the first place), they are straightforwardly right-wing reactionaries: racist, hate poor people, want state violence used against people they dislike, conspiracies everywhere, etc

Is that better than nothing, or equivalent to nothing πŸ˜…

I’ve been lucky enough to see dolphins every day of the past 4 days at Ocean Beach, and it never gets old!
Also the pelicans & thousands of sooty shearweathers, it’s all so cool

Agreed, I’m in d4 and voting no. I don’t like most of his policies, but that’s not what recalls are for!
And I like the new park of course

Seemingly every intern we get from stanford has learned nothing at all in college, it’s crazy…
Also makes me question college rankings (even more) because clearly they have no correlation to educational value

that would take a while given the N’s 5mph average speed… hopefully you can sleep there before coming back

But it’s like people on the internet think you can just move here, or come to study, and decide to stay just because. Which I expect from conservatives I guess, but hopefully not progressives

The leftist anti-h1b sentiment a few months ago was so disappointing. It’s really one of the only ways to move here if you don’t have US family already.
Obviously it should be improved so it’s easier to transfer, you don’t have a 60d window if you get laid off, pathway to greencard is easier

Kind of a weird weekend for that corner of the city… bart down friday night, apparently oracle’s display is busted, chase’s shot clock was broken tonight.
Must be the air getting above 70f & lack of fog
