Is anybody getting any actual value on this platform?

The biggest culture shock when returning from EU — besides our generally tasteless lack of casual fashion — is our poor quality food. Doesn’t matter if you buy from the most expensive “farm to table” local markets here in CA; bread, fruits, milk, etc all pale in comparison and are vastly more $.

How does SFO get away with charging $9 for a luggage trolley when most airports are free, or perhaps a nominal fee of $1 / 1€.

Why WHY are Swiss and German buildings especially kept so, SO hot inside during the winter? If nothing else, isn’t it just super energy inefficient?

Welp, it’s 2025!

Make a difference.

The difference between how most Europeans dress when traveling by airplane vs how Americans dress is… wow. Just… wow.

And before anybody scolds me about the right and desire to be casual, there’s a difference between casual elegant and casual sloppy.

Now this is graffiti / street art / whatever you want to call it that I can get behind.
Oh hey, it's #MuralMonday! We love seeing where your Tern takes you to explore your city and the art you find along the way.

Tag us in photos of your Tern in front of a local mural!!

Is #London the finest city on Earth? Wrong answers only.

The ubiquity and magnitude of #Christmas decorations in #London is absolutely beautiful. Such a shame that so many American cities, #SanFrancisco especially, no longer enjoy the joy and spectacle of this lovely time.

#SFO international terminal is essentially devoid of any Christmas decoration. Pretty sure #LHR will be overflowing with decor. Why the difference?

Eight years ago, I knew just one person who voted for Trump.

Four years ago, likewise, nearly everyone I knew voted for Biden.

This time around, I know quite a few Biden/Bernie supporters who switched to Trump.

And these are really educated, successful people whom I respect a lot.

Fascinating.

Is there any more joyfully — and awesomely — tearful music than Die Zauberflöte? Trick question: the answer is no.

So it’s been 21 days since my first post / tweet / whatever here on Bluesky.

First thoughts are it’s a pleasant, if echo-chamber-y place.

Unfortunately however I got much more engagement on Twitter/X, where I also had many more followers.

Also, on iOS at least emoji don’t autocomplete 🤔

People talk about #rainy days in #SF like it’s a cataclysmic disaster. Photographers’ ominous shots and captions read like it’s end of days stuff 🤣

Kate takes shelter from the storm.

Sand bags pile up (15 small bags)

Pedestrians brave the rain.

Meanwhile, in Amsterdam… literally NBD ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well that’s something you don’t see everyday in the SF Bay Area.

Achievement Unlocked: Biked in the Rain.

Dutch Mode Active! Rain jackets on for our first time biking to school in the rain! So much fun for an otherwise typical ride! A few lessons learned for cold, windy rain: (1) gloves would be nice for longer rides; (2) rain pants needed too. #biking #fietser

Serious question, does the SF Ferry Building have no HVAC of any kind? During this summer’s heat waves (90+F) it was a furnace inside — ok I get it, most places don’t have AC here — but it’s 55F outside right now and about the same temp inside; people wearing heavy jackets. So un-cozy. #hygge much?

Who’s ready for a cool (global) #AI thing? Hit me up.

People of San Francisco. A bit of wind and rain isn’t a “storm.” Anywhere else on the planet it’s literally just “raining.” As you were.

Ok let’s see how involved this platform really is:

Within 5 years, #lawyers will be liable for malpractice if they’re not incorporating #AI into their workflow.

By about 2035, human-only legal work will basically be obsolete, with full AI lawyers being regulation-limited, not tech-limited.
