The Roxie Theater made a memorial post for Kit Kat on Instagram, and @safestreetrebel.com clarified on their story that a Waymo was responsible for her death.

Commenters on the original IG post have shared some gory details, reader beware.

I had the same question, so I went back to the video for reference. I’m pretty sure it’s this guy:

✨ blessing the timeline with this picture of my parents’ dogs ✨
Two German shepherd mixes are laying on a white bed, one behind the other. The closest one, Jam Jam, is cocking his head to the left. Behind him, Sally cocks her head to the right. They are very cute.

Charlotte in the sun! ✨
A black cat lays in a sunny window sill. Her body is squished between the window sill and the screen, and she has one arm over the sill like an armrest.

Believe it or not, this is a real picture that Garry Tan took and posted himself. It’s not photoshopped.
A screenshot of a tweet from Garry Tan (@garrytan), the CEO of Y Combinator. The tweet reads “We should have more billionaires.” It contains a selfie of Garry Tan pointing down at his shirt that says “We should have more billionaires” in Zohran Mamdani’s campaign font.

New phone = new cat pictures!

That makes much more sense! They really do look similar.

The naming of the "Bad" category on this feelings wheel is just so funny to me.
feelingswheel.app
A version of the "feelings wheel" created by Geoffrey Roberts designed to help people identify their emotions. The wheel is made up of three concentric circles, with each layer consisting of more specific words for feelings. In the center of the wheel are seven emotions — Surprised, Happy, Sad, Disgusted, Angry, Fearful, and Bad.

I’m proud to see about thirty NYU Law graduates turn their back on the admin speaker wearing keffiyehs, waving Palestinian flags, and holding a “divest disclose” banner at the law school graduation.

Let’s take bets on how long it takes Trump to backpedal and say something rude about Biden’s cancer diagnosis.

Gift link from the New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2025/05/18/u...
Screenshot from the New York Times article on Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis reads: President Trump, who has repeatedly bashed Mr. Biden and blames him for most of the country's problems, was among those who issued supportive statements on Sunday evening. "Melania and I are saddened to hear about Joe Biden's recent medical diagnosis," Mr. Trump wrote on social media. "We extend our warmest and best wishes to Jill and the family, and we wish Joe a fast and successful recovery."

My cat’s auto feeder has a goofy little pixelated camera on it, and it’s making me so happy.
A black cat peers into the frame from the right with a goofy, confused look on her face. The picture is low resolution, reminiscent of an early-2000s home video.

Yesterday, the @sfstandard.com published a now-deleted satirical opinion piece titled "20 people we'd imprison in a reopened Alcatraz," attributed to the entire "Standard Staff."

The list included a politician that the Standard's billionaire founder Michael Moritz disagrees with.

These comments mocking a young Black man who got his neck stuck in a BART gate are indistinguishable from the MAGA rhetoric enabling a fascist takeover of our country.

Someone posted a video on r/BART this morning of a young Black man who got his head stuck in the gates after attempting to enter the 16th & Mission station without paying.

The overwhelming majority of the 800 comments are people laughing at his misery.

u/bagoo90 • 5d Fare evader gets trapped by new BART security doors I was getting off the train at 16th & Mission when I noticed this guy trying to sneak through the exit gate behind someone else. He timed it poorly just as he was halfway through the automated security doors snapped shut around him trapping him in place. He was completely stuck arms pinned awkwardly unable to move forward or back. people were walking by some glancing some laughing. He struggled for a minute clearly trying to force his way out but those doors weren't budging. Eventually a station agent showed up unlocked the gate. But instead of letting the guy walk off the agent pointed him toward the ticket machine and made him pay the fare before finally letting him go. A screenshot from the video attached to the Reddit post shows a young Black man wearing a backpack and headphones leaning forward through the BART gates. The doors have closed around his neck, leaving his head and arms caught on one side of the gate and his body caught on the other.

I read this article and then immediately walked by this ad at a MUNI station.

Fucking bleak.
Ad reads: “Keeping people from being evicted is the most coat-effective way to prevent homelessness. / We keep that from happening 93% of the time. / The Tenant Right to Counsel Program / Facing eviction? Call [the Eviction Defense Collaborative] at 415-659-9184”

The Wall Street Journal broke down the components of an iPhone by the country in which they’re manufactured in order to calculate the effects of Trump’s tariffs on pricing.

Tariffs could take the price of an iPhone 16 Pro from $550 to $850.
www.wsj.com/tech/persona...
A graphic from the Wall Street Journal shows that the iPhone includes components from Taiwan, South Korea, China, and Japan. All of these components would be effected by Trump’s tariffs, adding a 54% premium onto the price of the phone’s materials.

I googled “is Taylor Lorenz gay” while listening to the latest episode of @mattxiv.bsky.social’s A Bit Fruity podcast featuring @kattenbarge.bsky.social and @taylorlorenz.bsky.social, and I’m cracking up at Google’s highlighted result.

Gay, straight, or immunocompromised… I’m still a fan!
In response to the search “is Taylor Lorenz gay” Google highlights the line “she is immunocompromised” from her Wikipedia bio.

The suggested questions on Google for 23andMe are absolutely brutal. 😭
People also ask How do I know if my 23andMe data was breached? Why is 23andMe shutting down? Why was 23andMe banned in the US? Does the fbi have access to 23andMe? Can the government get your DNA from 23andMe? Is there a class action lawsuit against 23andMe?
