@growing_daniel @heyaleksandr more Californians have been on HSR in other countries since 2008?

@johnnyoldstyle @OsitaNwanevu my impression is the opposite of this: creators make their videos longer to accrue more watch time. algo shows full length thelonious monk concerts and stuff like this guy who does painting restoration (27 minutes)

@rohindhar lived nearby and moved away from SF for 7 years and was shocked when I came back and the site was exactly as when I left

@walterpols @rexsalisbury @BurnhamDC @presidiosf interestingly, when abandoned faux-traditional he had the architect design a building that could work for treasure island, Chicago or LA

@walterpols @rexsalisbury @BurnhamDC @presidiosf "Lucas submitted a Beaux-Arts complex festooned with eclectic ornamentation, including copper domes and arches that rested on columns adorned with robed figures"

@PaulS85990 @mattyglesias they were going to give him the site but wanted him to change his original design which was faux-traditional and he refused

@rexsalisbury @BurnhamDC @presidiosf the board correctly pushed back on his original building design 🙏

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@burnowt @PicardBuddy @mattyglesias he wanted the most prominent spot for a weird Bellagio-era pastiche with domes. He refused to change the design of the building

@solve_sf you’ve got the address wrong

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@daveweigel might be a label thing - noticed this somewhat creepy animation of Coltrane / Milt Jackson on Apple Music

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@camwiese this is Bellagio-era architecture. it did did not belong in our national park

@AliceFromQueens if it was cheap every young person in Decatur Texas would leave for LA tomorrow

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@pirhanatrigger @noahlt depends on the concert, but the seats behind the orchestra are sometimes $30-45. Some shows have excellent seats for $100. Compared to sports, it seems entirely reasonable

@amyecheetham @rexsalisbury second this. have friends that are serious cyclists and I listen to their stories. and it’s often dangerous as a pedestrian.

@BilgeEbiri @yalereview thank you for this Bilge 🙏 "Beehive" is a favorite but wasn't aware of "Dream of Light" - recall being young seeing "Thin Red Line" opening weekend, talking with an "old" person next to me who had seen "Badlands" in the theater (now I'm that old of course)

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@coryfromphilly also Philadelphia-born and the way some view San Francisco, which is the safest it has been in our lifetimes, in comparison is wild. it’s a city and will never been an Ivy League campus

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@loomdoop @tigerbeat as I recall that he thought this looked "traditional" and integrated with the existing architecture

[wayne ḇ @wb]

@saintsoftness current exhibit in san francisco is so good
