. @Costco has lower shoplifting rates than almost any store, and without killing their shoplifters — maybe this is the answer to San Francisco’s shoplifting problem? 1. Only let people in the store who pay a membership fee of $100 a year (keeps out the riff raff). 2. Check…

@stillgray Hmmmmm??? Reminds me of this one time when there was this mass shooting in Nashville, and the shooter left behind a manifesto only they didn’t want to let anyone SEE the manifesto because some things are best kept hidden from the public, for our own good and all /s

In-N-Out in Oakland’s last day was today. Sad to see the first store in their franchise history close. Stopped by this one in Dublin on the way home tonight… Quality you can taste, we can probably all agree on that.

@GavinNewsom Gavin, have you been to the Tenderloin in San Francisco? It's like a third world country. Bodybags, ODs, that woman who gave birth on the sidewalk, an open air fentanyl market on the corner of Mission and 7th. Is this what freedom looks like?

Downtown San Francisco lunchtime on a Tuesday, nothing but an empty mall, and the sound of whirring escalators. They should just think about turning the escalators off during the day, they probably use a lot of electricity.
