forget the N-Farallons, the 31 now goes to 5,000,000th Ave

The bus app’s map is super helpful

On a southbound Caltrain full of Seahawks and Patriots fans and its so quiet and contemplative and not rowdy at all

magic bean factory had an oopsie

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Why yes we are delivering the Olympic flame via streetcar in Milan

Another cool historic photo cache makes its way to @davidgallagher.bsky.social!

17th & Wisconsin, 1980s Much talk of the demise of Thee Parkside (spent many afternoons there after Sunday softball at Jackson Playground) Not sure of the date, but here's a shot from photographer Jo Babcock when it was Frank's Place. The Ferrerro family owned Frank's place for 42 years. #sfhistory

Anyone going to the BART Speed Dating event next month. It’s sold out but I’d be curious to see pics etc : www.railgoods.com/bart-valentr...

The Colbert poster was the direct inspiration for my own "Viva Adama " posters, from the same time.... www.flickr.com/photos/gdewa...

This poster started popping up in 2006 (!) after the WH Correspondents Dinner, and it remains relevant today. Who knew? www.flickr.com/photos/elrio...

"BoldlySF" is NOT the name of a new zillionaire club to send you junk mailers, but instead apparently a week of Star Trek celebrations in SF next month bc Starfleet Academy is set in....San Francisco of the far future! www.sf.gov/news-small-b...

This niners game has been one of the most dramatic I’ve seen.

The ongoing problems with Clipper are an embarrassment to the Bay Area

History from 2009: a bus route lost. missionlocal.org/2009/12/26va...

Hey thanks Peter! From the San Francisco Chronicle's culture critic's lips to your ears: We're doing a good job! If you agree... mission-local.donorsupport.co/page/donate

Got an email from the SF Small Biz office with info about BoldlySF, which is NOT a billionaire front group, BUT a week of Star Trek promotions local biz can participate int! Is that wild or what?

"The corporation doesn't have a soul to damn or an ass to kick" was the old line from the Olden Days IIRC

well this was nice...an email from PG and E thanking me for not using so much power recently and thanking me for my energy conscious ways which are super easy DURING A BLACKOUT

Power outage in San Francisco has taken archive.org offline. Back online as soon as possible.

Stranger Things makes you do homework during winter break

Old favorite I call hamburger sunset. 🍔

Another Saturday power cut? If there’s a power outage on new years eve, they should just give up and had the keys to some Adults.

Important news out of the Midwest from @ceodonovan.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

shel silverstein was a prophet

This SF Muni puzzle is extremely hard

for your holiday reading pleasure: i wrote about why i’m getting back into tapes, and what we’ve lost by letting ourselves get addicted to platforms built around surveillance and instant gratification. 🎶 @404media.co

Well the power came back and someone said it was a Christmas miracle but in fact it’s just working like it’s supposed to haha

Got a nice big power outage for Christmas ! Thanks Grinch aka PG and E!

This is our millionaire mayor’s transit plan btw.

a power outage is unusual, but not so unusual it can be waved away as an "edge case"... these vehicles should be pulling over and parking if they can't operate safely, not piling up in intersections and clogging roads

At least 4 Waymo robots, one in front of the bus and three right behind it. Who knows how many more are heading right into this to suffer the same fate/FUBAR. Waymo knows they have this problem and so should their regulators and anyone who has been paying attention. OP: tiktok.feelwellwitharielle

ok this is some serious “weird news in the opening credits of that doompocalypse movie” from Weylan-Yutani Studios kind of stuff

Waymo has halted service in San Francisco after numerous videos & images showed its autonomous cars snarling traffic during the blackout. With traffic lights down, Waymos across the city stopped dead in their tracks at intersections. missionlocal.org/2025/12/sf-w...

The Sunset is dark & quiet during the blackout. Pedestrians are using flashlights to get around & restaurants have closed early. Kitchen staff are taking the bus or scootering home. Patrons are dining by candlelight. Elsewhere, Waymos are stuck, snarling traffic.

SF today has been very on brand for 2025

A quake? Really? Come on !

Oh look an update! The power that was supposed to be resort order now will now be delayed 2 more hours. Thanks Grinch PG and E

It’s weird to think there’s probably a bet running (oops sorry “prediction market”) where people are laying odds on how much P G and E sucks

This isn’t fun but it was way worse when I lived in Sausalito and the power seemed to go out if anyone sneezed and then our block would be one of the very last to get power back. Thanks, PG and E!

this is the longest I've spent on one of these things in ages lol

Does anyone wanna see a really good Getty image of Rita Moreno and Sam The Eagle having dinner in 1979?

what's really helpful during an extended power outage is having PG and E text you saying the power is back when it actually isn't.

As of 3:38. Power company now says 5:30 for power back on vs the 3:30 estimate they were saying earlier.

ok when did pluribus become real

This outage sucks but reading bluesky posts about it in SF remind me of SF twitter in the Before Times
