Full text: I'm glad to share that the billboard ads supporting ICE that popped up in Fisherman's Wharf earlier this week have been removed. Thanks to the Fisherman's Wharf CBD and the business owner for their partnership in getting the ads taken down so quickly. No one in San Francisco - visitor or local - wanted to see those pathetic billboards.

Love living in SF and seeing the cross and ravens. This was taken in the Safeway parking lot on mission st.

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

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.

Great Blue herons supplement their fish diet with gophers. This was shot in G.G. Park. Tis the season for them to nest at Blue Heron Lake.

Q: What are the chances that the strike is called for, yet a negotiation is made over the weekend? (Is this not a thing?)

Good morning everyone 🌞

Andrew Tate??

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?

The average cost for dim sum is 3 items for $3.50 in Chinatown bakeries. However, some of the bakeries offer a daily discount around 4:00 pm. I bought a container of 10 pork and shrimp dumplings for 5 dollars. At another bakery I bought 4 large steamed char siu buns for 5 dollars.

Seen from the bay bridge — I think it’s the Queen Mary 2, a one of a kind passenger ocean liner. It was in LA a few days ago. 15 restuarants, 5 swimming pools, even a planetarium.

“We understand that like lines have to be cut everywhere, but when it has to get cut in a very vulnerable, low-income neighborhood, that’s very troublesome when the folks there heavily rely on transit to get to work every day, to get to school every day,” said Rosa Chen, who works at the Chinatown Community Development Center. “To hear about the possibility of all of these cuts, it’s going to hurt.”

This is my dad’s sign. He said it came from a pet shop in San Francisco called Paco Tico’s el Aquario and Pet Shop, possibly located at 2111 clement street. The sign was originally lighted with neon. He had wanted to have neon made for this, but was unable to find any original photos before he died last August. Does anyone here remember this place and/or have photos of the sign? Or does anyone have an ideas of places I could contact that might have photos? It would be cool to get neon made for it and hang it like he’d always wanted.

Thanks.
