On social media, San Francisco’s housing warriors are trading AI-generated pictures of upzoned neighborhoods like barbs. missionlocal.org/2026/07/ai-y...

Amazing used book purchase today that the architects will appreciate

One good way to confirm that the president is, in fact, a narcissist is if a top military official is sacked for calling him a narcissist.

It’s like living in Nazi Germany.

Why is the app for this site still so terrible? I am constantly getting logged out on my phone to the point where I'm considering just being done with it

My biggest piece of food advice is to never buy Cadbury's chocolate that is labeled for sale in the US

Mitt Romney confirmed that he won’t launch a third bid for president in 2028 — and argued that octogenarians should sit this one out. “I basically think people who are 80 and above really should not be running the world or running the country”

They NYT article has good graphics explaining the extent of the addition to the failing tower in Midtown which better explain the source of the problems.... www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Manhattan Building’s Columns Buckled Beneath New Addition, Images Show

Images and videos of the Manhattan building analyzed by The Times show that the structural columns buckled directly beneath where the recent addition was built.

Yes! So many comply in advance even when there’s no design review

on a recent trip to Cincinnati I noticed this fine bldg in Covington: simple ground floor, two main façade planes w/ expressed piers, clean fenestration w/ simple sills, tripartite scheme w/ simple stringcoursing, & a grand but restrained cavetto cornice - would be cool if planners allowed this

Once más???

This an official Vatican photograph of Leo at Lampedusa, Italy - one of the world’s heaviest migrant sites - where he went this morning to pray for migrants who died at sea. This is after turning down the offer to come to the United States.

to be surprised by this is to have never, ever spent July in San Francisco.

Dense fog in San Francisco obscured much of the historic Fourth of July fireworks from the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving many spectators disappointed after hours of waiting along the waterfront.

guys it's a lot harder to avoid being one-or-two-degrees-of-separation from some sort of illegal corruption as mayor of NYC than as mayor of south bend indiana. (not because south bend is some model of good governance its just 1/100th the size) bsky.app/profile/poku...

I really don't think that is inevitable at all. Like, Pete Buttigieg has been a politician for 15 years and there is no "controversy" section in his wikipedia page. Plenty of politicians are actually decent people.

all rise for the great lakes republic's national anthem

Trump’s speech and the 4th of July parade in Washington DC were canceled due to bad weather. Meanwhile, 22 years ago, in Buffalo: youtu.be/_HZM0QiuUS8?...

IDK there's something really funny about event planners not planning for forecasted weather that was reasonably accurate despite the fact that this government has gutted the National Weather Service in an attempt to privatize weather forecasting.

A pretty good encapsulation of what the 4th of July represents for the Black American.

Went to the running store to pick up new shoes yesterday and signed up for a 5k on a whim and it's this morning. I wish I had taken it easy it on yesterday's run now!

I'm not saying it's cause and effect, but I'm also not not saying it. Either way, the manufacturing revival never came.

it would be entirely defensible - politically and doctrinally - based on what happened today for Leo to say that EVERYONE who attended or participated in the consecration of heretical bishops should get the boot. they were there because they enthusiastically support the bishops’ heretical beliefs!

Hey, dumbass: Everett, Washington is the exclusive home of the Boeing 747. Every single 747 ever made, including the 747-8 model gifted by Qatar, was assembled here. So yes, the US can, and DID, build a plane like this - including this one. Nice to see the "president" shit on American Manufacturing

CNN@cnn.com · last mo.

As President Donald Trump boarded his inaugural flight of the new Air Force One, a luxury jet donated by the government of Qatar, he shared his excitement for the new aircraft and its foreign builders, saying the US "couldn't build a plane like this." https://cnn.it/4wcuEsk

Love this 2019 article in @thefrisc.bsky.social about Strawberry Hill in Golden Gate Park, with a focus on lead gardener Andy Stone. I had a long chat with Andy this morning and the dedication he and other gardeners have to the spaces they tend is very impressive. thefrisc.com/golden-gate-...

Golden Gate Park’s Highest Peak is a ‘Butterfly Bordello’

The first known butterfly extinction happened in San Francisco. Can habitat restoration on Strawberry Hill help prevent more?

That dime in the bucket is the pass of the century. I mean that's already hard enough to throwing a football, this mf did it with his feet. Absolutely incredible.
