@EvanKirstel When we visited, our guide said the wall and awning weren't yellow originally; the yellow was Van Gogh's interpretation of the cafe's lights. But the owner painted the wall and replaced the awning to match the artwork. Feel free to fact-check me on this, though -- it's hearsay.

And I believe @chefjoseandres, who is dedicated to serving people in need. Thank you, sir!

@Srirachachau Agreed. And every time I watch it, I smile because Tim Burton probably spent more on the opening title sequence than Ed Wood spent on all of his movies put together.

The thing about Ed Wood is that it’s a perfect movie

@scifri I immediately thought of Euell Gibbons. youtu.be/t0N290zPrbA?fe…

Did you know you can make a forest smoothie with Douglas fir needles mixed with bananas and grapes? In today's episode, we explore a book that teaches readers how to engage with their local forested areas. Listen here 🎧: pod.link/73329284

Re: the hateful comments about Gus Walz, son of @Tim_Walz, by self-professed Christians. NB: 90% of the Christian life is: Don't be mean. Also, do you think Jesus would mock someone with any kind of disability? Remember your Gospels: these are precisely the people Jesus seeks out

@Caltrain The new trains are so wonderful. I actually chose a local (rather than waiting a couple minutes for a bullet) so I could ride one from SF to RWC. Please keep the cars clean and nice, if you can. (Not easy, esp when rains arrive.) You'll win more riders.

Crazy to think the electric trains have been running for over a week! We posted a similar poll not too long ago, but we’d love to know… How many of you have boarded the electric train?

@AlexLoRe Tomato sandwiches.

What’s the summer version of chestnuts roasting on an open fire

@EvanKirstel @rwang0 Note that this photo is of Caltrain, not SF MUNI. The issue described in the article is not about @Caltrain

💾 Floppy disk-reliant #SanFrancisco train control system spurs concerns of 'catastrophic failure' — and it won't be replaced for at least another decade 😳 @rwang0 tomshardware.com/tech-industry/…

@YoungParikPatel Get me the kids from that Peanuts Christmas show!

Ad exec: what if the guy sang off key Burger King: you're onto something

@chessclubgringo @egavactip Also Timothy Egan's 2023 book, "A Fever in the Heartland," specifically looks at the KKK's operations in Indiana and the role of DC Stephenson in its growth there. (And his fall, when he was convicted of murder.)

@egavactip Linda Gordon’s fairly recent book, The Second Coming of the Klan (2017), does a good job of laying out how the Second Klan distinguished itself from the original post-Civil War Klan.

1/3 The Klan that was founded in 1865 was gone within a decade. A different group by that name was started in 1915. It was dead by 1944. After WW2, multiple independent "Klan" groups arose in response to the Civil Rights movement. It has been that way ever since, except that

@PearlsFromMyrna Lyle Lovett concurs.

Jesus forgives, but I don't.

@CharlesPPierce @JPosnanski I'm thinking that both sets of parents liked The Fifth Element but didn't look up how Korben Dallas spelled his name.

A guy named Corbin Something just hit a dinger off a pitcher named Corbin Something, and I think my man @JPosnanski needs to explain how baseball parents name their kids to me. #NLWildCard

@datastoragejobs I see a taxonomy/organizing structure, not a tool to solve arguments. You could use this to say "we both are willing to discuss (issue x)" but if two sides are in different circles about (issue x) this infographic doesn't help you toward a resolution.

@FredSandsmark After you understood it, what did you think

Best infographic I have ever seen that would solve 90% of arguments... especially on social media

@RonFilipkowski I also note the guy filming the encounter, waiting for the reporter to do something that will enrage the mob and earn the filmer 30 seconds in the RW media spotlight.

Woman at Trump rally in Iowa today is asked about seeing Trump: “I’ll probably start crying. I’m going to start crying now. When he comes out on stage and I can see him face-to-face, it’s going to be the best day of my life. I love that man.”

@JayCuda News you can use.

the footprint of the sears tower (willis tower) is 225 feet x 225 feet. if placed on guaranteed rate field as depicted below they would have to cancel the game

@tomtomorrow Can't ❤️ this one, but want to acknowledge. Must hurt.

@NASA_Johnson @Astromaterials @NASASolarSystem @NASA Interesting! What's in the slender umbilical hose?

Welcome to Houston, OSIRIS-REx! The asteroid sample arrived today in Texas where it will be curated and preserved by our team here at Johnson. The information collected could help scientists around the world investigate planetary formation, the origins of life, and how asteroids might impact Earth.

@rakeshlobster @jamescham @conormyhrvold You can even go back to the Ampex complex in Redwood City, now part of Stanford: redwoodcity.stanford.edu/ampex-years

@jamescham I was talking with @conormyhrvold the other day about how much fun it can be to look at old travel guides and see how much things have changed. I’d love an interactive map to see how buildings have changed. SGI -> google Excite @ Home -> Stanford hospital Sun -> Facebook
