Was enjoying a meal in a restaurant with a book until I realized some people a few tables over were watching a sitcom on their phone with a damn laugh track, WTAF

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away.
Super pissed

Someone used CGI to add juggling balls to the ball less juggling scene from The Office.

This might be the best video on the internet

It’s flattering to see @nytimes rewrite my feature on two Canadian men switched at birth. You can read the original, exclusively reported @globeandmail story I took months to research and write as a former freelancer here https://t.co/SkeZJsJ4va

Clayton near Market, 1917 & recently
This part of Clayton, when it was built, was an extension of Caselli Avenue. Hardly an avenue, it only carried the 18th & Park (now the 33) line streetcar, the second electric line in SF. #sfhistory

It is bizarre to me that the editorial desk at NYT seems insistent on pretending that no other sources of journalism exist and that sometimes they get a story before them

There is a crew working on the sign at @X.

Notable that the sidewalk is not roped off while crews work above.

A lot of people I just made up say Trump can't win in 2024. You know what I tell those fake people? Trump can win. Trump can absolutely win.

[Everything Price Sufferer (but especially eggs) @agraybee]

I've heard/read multiple anecdotes from Tesla and SpaceX employees who say those companies have firm systems in place to make sure none of Musk's decisions are enacted, and I 100% believe them.

Not many scenes still make me laugh harder than Pee Wee constantly looking at the camera in the movie at the end of Big Adventure

Hi, @sfplanning: do you need a permit to erect a roof sign, and did this business obtain one

[The San Francisco Standard @sfstandard]

HAPPENING NOW: @X's new logo is being put up on the roof of the Market St. building where the company has its headquarters.

This comes after X's owner, @elonmusk, announced a name and logo change on Sunday.

Bye bye, blue bird, indeed. Story to come.
