Emily Sneddon saw beauty in the display on an obsolete San Francisco streetcar.
So she visited @sfmta.bsky.social yards, looked at serial numbers & searched for the engineer who created it.
A nice story about a kind & curious person in a good city.

San Francisco has a new font. It was inspired by an old Muni streetcar
A San Francisco designer fell in love with the typeface on an old Muni streetcar. She tracked down the man who created it to build the city’s newest font.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

LOVE my new @bart.gov holiday sweater.
Appreciate that instead of thinking “how do we make it weirder/uglier?” they pivoted to “let’s make a holiday sweater people can wear to a first date or job interview!”

Remember: never cross a picket line.
BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.
Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.
Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

I wrote this @sfchronicle.com column and still can't believe it happened.
Photos of a high-speed auto race in Golden Gate Park. Cars going 100+ miles per hour, often with no barriers separating them from the crowd.
(And then neighbors got involved.)

Golden Gate Park was once home to high-speed auto racing (It did not end well)
Speeds were high and safety was low in the Guardsmen classic, a short-lived automobile race that accelerated through San Francisco’s biggest park. We found the startling photos.

Trolleybuses really are the superior, time tested, climate friendly path to the future. San Francisco can power its transit on sunshine and gravity, thanks to M.M. O’Shaughnessy!
Trolleybuses pull power directly into efficient, hill-climbing engines without need for massive, pavement-crushing batteries. Next gen trolleys with in-motion charging offer significant off-wire travel, allowing incremental wire extension. SF and Seattle partnering:

Magnificent column from @peterhartlaub.bsky.social here. I am especially in love with the call to “take a walk” because it is not only a stellar point maker, (take a hike, Marc) but also downright brilliant advice for anyone who finds themselves in San Francisco.
Blew up my weekend to write this “Marc Benioff come-to-your-senses challenge.”
I’ve rarely shared my opinions about politics in the Chronicle beyond some LGBTQ+ & bike/pedestrian safety things but Jesus he wants the military on S.F. streets what the hell?

Marc Benioff wants troops in S.F.? There’s a path back to sanity, and it’s close to home
Marc Benioff called for the National Guard in S.F. The city doesn’t need the military on its streets. It needs the Salesforce founder to follow his grandfather’s example, Peter Hartlaub...
