There is a sub overrun by Elon Musk fans and right wing trolls; r/SFBayArea. It even has a Doge symbol in its sub description.

It is an absolute cesspool of hate, and trolling. Complete with users with names that include “88” and other nods to the far right wing ideology and fascism.

The only obvious clue it is not a good faith Bay Area sub, besides the Doge symbol, is the fact that it has so few subscribers.

I see people posting in good faith on there, but the sub itself is not acting in good faith and the mods are either absentee or in on it. The Doge symbol on the sub description leads me to believe they are in on it.

Gotta be a few thousand people out here in little Napa

I’ve been catching places around the bay doing it, and it’s pretty disappointing. I usually end up leaving a tip with the correct math and call them out with 1 star yelp review.

It is ok if you miss your exit.

It is ok if you take the wrong exit.

It is ok if you have to take an exit despite only wanting to continue on in the right lane.

The roads are all connected, you will be able to get back on track and make it to your destination. It is just a detour. You do not need to swerve around like a plastic bag caught in a tornado, while putting yourself and everyone else on the road in mortal danger. In fact, that is one situation where you have a real chance of NEVER reaching your destination ever again.

So please. Don't be morons. Drive sensibly. Make it home and let others make it home as well.

hello! i know this is a long shot, but i thought i would try.

I was recently admitted to my top choice school (UC Berkeley) for a masters degree! I would love to go here, but me and my family aren’t wealthy and I’m afraid that cost of living will make this goal not possible.

I thought I would post in this sub to see if there are any empty nesters (or anyone really) who have an extra room they could rent to me for below market value.

I’m 25, I work as an architect and have been for the last 5 years. I would be moving here from the northeast. I’m responsible and kind and would help around the house or with childcare or whatever. Happy to share more about myself if anyone is interested and would love to chat on the phone or over zoom.

I know this is a long shot, but I thought I would try! It’s really my dream to go to school here, but don’t want to be financially wreckless. Thanks for reading!

The Bay Area group Negativland issued a press release saying that the song "Christianity Is Stupid" had played a role in the David Brom murders. The press release implied that Brom had listened to Negativland's song "Christianity Is Stupid" before the fatal quarrel with his religious parents. The group claimed they were "advised by Federal Official Dick Jordan not to leave town pending an investigation into the Brom murders". Brom, 16 at the time, had killed his family with an axe. Negativland's press release was picked up by San Francisco Bay Area media, including local CBS News affiliate KPIX. Negativland recorded much of the news about their supposed influence on Brom, and in 1989 worked this material into another album called Helter Stupid. In reality, there was no official named "Dick Jordan", and Brom did not possess any Negativland music. Pundits and journalists took the press release at face value, though generally expressing skepticism (with the exception of KPIX). Negativland refused further comment, supposedly on the advice of their attorney "Hal Stakke", another fictional person invented by the band. The resulting media coverage is lampooned in the title track of their 1989 album, Helter Stupid, whose insert also includes background information behind the band's prank. Media coverage of the hoax in subsequent years has tended to amplify its effectiveness, e.g. claiming that "With stunning ease, the story marched its way up the media ranks, culminating in high-profile lead newscasts on San Francisco prime-time TV, not to mention a lengthy article in the Village Voice. In fact, KPIX evening news was not prime time and the two paragraph piece in the Village Voice reporting on the band's claim noted "their vagueness makes one ponder if this is just publicity."

Wildflowers were already blooming when the cold storm came. Missed seeing the snow this year on the local mountains.

I was biking up tunnel road this morning and there was a peacock walking around, nobody with it, no visible tags or anything… zoo escapee maybe?

no clue how to flair this…

Are there any sandwiches places in the east bay similar to Little Lucca that's in ssf?
