San Francisco and what to do in it

open space initiative!

passed this wreckage on the way to work this a.m.

And that's why cops aren't supposed to engage in high-speed chases, fuck.

but they're so exciting!

holy shit 115mph! no wonder it burst into flames

This turned out to be a friend of mine

I hadn't seen him in years but was kinda shocking to read this article and then only find out later that it was him. He was a photographer so maybe that's why the HAZMAT. idk. :(

:(

geez things gettin kinda murder-y around here

do tell

there were a couple shootings in the last month that seemed like there was some gang-related retaliation stuff going on and then just over the last few days there have been a rash of shootings that left 4 dead.

:(

holy shit

some of you must be into Georgian cinema, right?

was just reading about their blood feuds, animal sacrifices and ritual haircutting so sure why not

Good luck getting San Franciscans to come to the east bay

it's pretty easy to get San Franciscans to come to the East Bay tbh, just double their rent or evict them! Har-de-har-har

hehe

I feel like we've almost reached the point where there is more going on culturally over here in Oakland/Berkeley than in SF

uh, yeah

It's pretty hard to see a screening of a non-famous old film anywhere but the PFA these days. Castro's scheduling has gotten pretty boring apart from festival season.

last night I watched Dark Passage with Bogart and Bacall, and she lives here (and there was location shooting; he climbs the Filbert Steps too):

as seen here

i am vaguely curious how ridiculously expensive it costs to live there now

about $6k a month (not sure how old that post is) for a 1 br/ 1bath.

RIP Guardian

it had been sold a few years back though, hadn't it?

stopping publishing as of tomorrow

yeah, but dreaforce is happening RIGHT NOW!

wow re: the guardian!

on my daughter's walk to work this morning at 20th and Mission. this woman was apparently passed out in her car (kid did not care, "maybe she should wake up" lol):

wow the angle of her right foot is going to cause some intense pain when she comes to.

Keep SF Unconscious

the angle of her right foot

I'm assuming that shoe is not fully on I mean how could it be, right?

you can see that the shoe is mostly off her foot

I see it now... more like some thoughtful citizen kind of hooked her shoe back on at some point

this sounds cools

oh no that's like three blocks from me :(
