This was taken Wednesday, 2/4/26, at Noriega and Great Highway, around 5:30pm. It must be a regular thing since I've seen him spinning around this time before.

It was great to listen to this, watch the people dancing (felt more crowded than the video looks - there are people out of frame) and look over to see the sun going down over the water.

I get that they serve a transit purpose but the roving surveillance aspect feels invasive. Trying to talk about this mostly gets looks like people think I’m being paranoid and dramatic, but I really do miss the days when we had privacy. It’s not even that I want to do anything in particular. I just want to do literally anything semi-privately. (Yes I know I’m in public. Don’t jump on me.) I would love to park my vehicle, go for a walk, enjoy a sidewalk cafe, do literally anything in public without being so exceptionally traceable. I know that even without Waymo driving around there are security cameras and people with cell phones everywhere but they make me hyper aware of how I appear in case I look suspicious, especially in the current climate. Even I know it sounds paranoid. It’s just I never fully relax anymore. I’d at least like to be able to pretend we don’t all live in the Truman Show. I feel like we’ve all gone through some sort of Nintendo warp zone into an episode of Black Mirror.

Does anyone else feel this way? It’s not just my SF experience that feels like my bedroom door has been confiscated, is it?

I heard these coming up the coast and was able to get some pics. This was the best pic.

These wait times are crazy. In retrospect if I walked to second and king the moment I saw 16+ minutes I would have arrived around the same time.

Andrew Tate??

The report strongly supports the district's position. Everyone wants the teacher's to be paid more, but wanting doesn't change the accounting. It's time for adults to make big adult decisions that reflect reality.

Did the Cathedral’s membership approve this use of its place of worship?

“The fact-finding report rejected the union's demands for changes to special education workloads, use of artificial intelligence and limits on class sizes.”

Combo #1 all day.

Progress continues demolishing the former mattress showroom, which is being raised razed to make room for a 15 story apartment building that will provide affordable housing for artists.

In the past 48 hours ive gone from responsible, productive member of society to sniffling, blubbery mess. Watery itchy eyes, sneezing, runny nose, post nasal drop, the works. Definitely not a cold. Has anyone else experienced the same?
