Two Canadian men who were switched at birth to families of different ethnicities are now questioning who they really are and learning how racial heritage shapes identities. nyti.ms/3qedVZp

Clayton near Market, 1917 & recently
This part of Clayton, when it was built, was an extension of Caselli Avenue. Hardly an avenue, it only carried the 18th & Park (now the 33) line streetcar, the second electric line in SF. #sfhistory

A lot of people I just made up say Trump can't win in 2024. You know what I tell those fake people? Trump can win. Trump can absolutely win.

I've heard/read multiple anecdotes from Tesla and SpaceX employees who say those companies have firm systems in place to make sure none of Musk's decisions are enacted, and I 100% believe them.

The new X tagline “blaze your glory” is seemingly something that Elon Musk completely made up without consulting anyone and is only meaningful to him, which is basically the same as all of his decisions

Hi, @sfplanning: do you need a permit to erect a roof sign, and did this business obtain one

HAPPENING NOW: @X's new logo is being put up on the roof of the Market St. building where the company has its headquarters. This comes after X's owner, @elonmusk, announced a name and logo change on Sunday. Bye bye, blue bird, indeed. Story to come. 📸: @isaacnceja24
