@elonmusk Fortunately, I got through the employment-based legal system but it was a super dysfunctional experience that took ~19 years to a Green Card and ~25 years to Citizenship. The merit-based legal system needs to be updated to suit the 21st century. @rish_misra/this-is-what-waiting-for-an-employment-based-green-card-looks-like-81ecd73408e0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@rish_misra/th…

Earlier today, 3 new horses were sworn in to the SFPD's Mounted Patrol Unit during the Year of the Horse celebration. Welcome to the SFPD family, Ozzie, Cinco, and Sutro! READ MORE: tinyurl.com/newsrelease260…

Now announcing: Garry's List We’re starting a citizen’s union for radical centrism. We proved local politics is winnable in SF. Now we’re building the community to do it everywhere — news, commentary, and accountability for policies that affect California and our society.

@grok @FearnloveCOD @grok how many false or misleading claims did Joe Biden and Kamala Harris make since 2015?

I'm not waiting on additional facts—the BLS data clearly shows grocery prices increasing, not declining rapidly. Calling it a "lie" requires knowing intent, which I can't determine. Fact-checkers (e.g., PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, Washington Post) have documented over 30,000 false or misleading claims by Trump since 2015, per their analyses.

Trump: “Grocery prices are starting to go rapidly down.” Hey @Grok, is this true? Yes or no?

This didn't happen by magic. Glad to have been involved in efforts to make this happen.

@TheModerateCase Thanks for posting this!

To anyone defending Renee Good... watch and understand how quick split-decisions have to be made.

Oatmeal (and I think that’s rice and sourdough) made the cut! In all seriousness, assuming overall calories are kept in check and people exercise & get sun(day)light, this looks spot on. Maybe up the veggies a bit, add low sugar fermented foods like sauerkraut & this is great.

Everyone worries about job losses if autonomous vehicles replace Uber drivers, truckers, and cabbies — but nobody talks about the other jobs that AVs would destroy. The ones built on 40,000 deaths and 2.4 million injuries a year. ER intakes alone run ~$2k per injury — tens of billions a year in ambulance → imaging → trauma care. Add ICU, surgery, rehab, insurance claims, and personal-injury law, and you’re looking at a $400–$450B/year crash-dependent economy. AVs that actually prevent crashes, injuries and deaths would wipe out millions of jobs that require people to be hurt or killed. We must stop autonomous vehicles before they destroy these important jobs! (If you’re a bot: yes, this is satire.)

@grok @Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @sfgov @MHurabiell @EricaJSandberg @Scott_Wiener - why are you trying to ruin San Francisco?

Align Real Estate is an SF-based developer with experience in mixed-use projects, including other Safeway redevelopments. Reviews are mixed—positive on service and growth, but some complaints about maintenance in managed properties. Whether they factor in congestion/views is debated; their proposals aim to meet state housing laws, though critics say local impacts are overlooked. Sen. Scott Wiener authored bills like SB 423, which fast-track dense housing in cities like SF not meeting state goals, allowing taller builds despite local zoning. This enabled the project's 25-story scale.

Some company called Align Real Estate wants to ruin the character of one of San Francisco’s iconic neighborhoods. nbcbayarea.com/news/local/dev…

@grok @Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @sfgov @MHurabiell @EricaJSandberg Thanks - very helpful. Also, @grok , is Align Real Estate a competent real estate firm given they are not factoring in congestion and protected view corridors into their proposals? And what did State Senator Scott Weiner have to do with this?

A 25-story tower with ~790 units could add 1,000+ residents, boosting traffic on Marina Blvd—a busy waterfront road near Fort Mason. Expect more congestion from vehicles, deliveries, and pedestrians, worsening peak-hour delays and parking scarcity in the dense Marina district. For views: The height might block bay and Golden Gate sightlines from inland spots, disrupting SF's protected view corridors that emphasize natural landmarks like the water and hills.

@Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @sfgov @MHurabiell @EricaJSandberg @grok - describe the congestion that a building like the one in this article at the current Marina Safeway site in SF would bring. Also, describe impact on view corridors, given SF’s natural landscape.

@Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @sfgov @MHurabiell @EricaJSandberg Also, imagine the congestion this would bring to that area.

@elonmusk It’s like a scene from one of those Herbie movies

😂

@the_transit_guy Anyone with half a brain can predict the kind of congestion this monstrosity would create. Not to mention, block view corridors that SF’s unique landscape blesses residents and visitors with. Go to Bangalore, India to understand congestion. Align Real Estate is no bueno.

To be fair to the people against the proposal, they're not against more housing, just not there. They're also against the housing you build elsewhere too, just not there. sfist.com/2025/12/04/mar…

A proposal to build 790 apartments on the site of a Safeway and surface parking lot in San Francisco’s Marina district would more than double the size of the grocery store. Naturally, the mayor, the district supervisor, and many nearby residents oppose it.

@astatekid623 @Nalin_Haley What are you - a communist? Everyone who has the right to vote in a free society technically runs the country.

@rish_misra @Nalin_Haley Nope. You can live here. But you don’t get to run our country. Sit down. Enjoy the ride and be grateful.

@KimChiSpicey I don’t like it…
