  1. Big Art Loop in San Francisco.

    I read about this in the SF Chronicle this morning which focused on a cool new piece that was installed (article is behind a paywall).

    It’s a 34 mile loop, effectively around the city, displaying large art sculptures. Looks like a great opportunity to view unique art pieces.

    I’m thinking that this would be a great day trip and bike ride for my Santa Cruz bike club.

  2. In typically brutalist #MelonHusk style 500 of his employees were given the ax on Friday Night, and immediately deleted all access to even their email with no warning.

    "We no longer need most generalist AI tutor positions and your employment with xAI will conclude."

  4. #SF #TouristAttractions

    The #SFChronicle is doing a poll of how many SF Tourist Attractions you have or haven't visited. Native San Franciscans & Migrants (anyone who isn't a Native San Franciscan) can participate.

    Out of the 12 mentioned the only one that I haven't done is a walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. Reason: Too long of a walk.

    The view from either end of the bridge is good enough for me. I've done both -- parked at the north & south ends to look at the views -- many times.

    I've often looked at the bridge while laying on the nudist end of Baker's Beach & from the top of the hill going towards Pt. Lobos -- the view often used in TV commercials.

    I've also viewed the bridge from a far & below on a Red & White bay ferry cruise. & on trips to Sausalito.

    And, of course, I've often seen the bridge & The City exiting the Robbin Williams tunnel going towards the bridge is one of the most breathtaking views in the world.
    You can take the poll here if you're interested:

  5. There was a lovely article this week in the #SFChronicle by Esther Mobley celebrating Steve Edmunds. He’s made soulful wines for 40 years, in a style that’s been consistent with who he is: thoughtful, understated, respectful of tradition without being bound by it.

    I’m very happy #RhoneRangers will be honoring him with a lifetime achievement award this summer, and he’ll get the chance to see how much his work has meant to those of us in the American Rhone community.

  6. #SFChronicle #SFGate #MercureyNews continue to disappoint with clickbait lede-burying advice-column shallow-hot-take op-ed journalism. I'm wondering how long it will take any Bay Area newspaper to notice the passing of Berkeley's famed poet #LynHejinian.

  10. 90 years ago, the San Francisco Chronicle ran an AI-generated image on its front page showing an airship passing over its building...eer ... actually, no AI involved! Just liquid paper (kids, it's how we used to blot out things on this other stuff called paper) & cut-and-paste. A fascinating story on how the Chronicle did indeed discover a faked image was run, nearly a century later. #AI #NotAI #FakeImages #journalism #photography #photojournalism #SFChronicle #Chronicle sfchronicle.com/vault/article/
