His claim that Odysseus being whiney was anachronistic and took him out of the movie also shows that he is not actually familiar with the Homeric Odyssey. That guy whined nonstop about how difficult his life was.

I feel like there are a lot of good reasons they set the Backrooms movie there but one of the best ones is they kind of mirror each other with their endless sprawl.

Some lovely interior views of Willie’s house at 56 Mendosa. Lots of midcentury loveliness. Have always wanted to see inside the house you posted too! mcarch.wordpress.com/2009/03/17/s...

Say Hey, It’s Willie Mays’ Hillside Pad
From the pages of Ebony, August 1963 is phototour of Willie Mays’ mod house. It’s interesting to see the mix of styles in here, particularly Willie’s bedroom. It goes to show that…

And Willie Mays’ old house is right across the street from this lovely one!

We all find out in different ways. I found out because I can’t ever activate automatic sinks or paper towel dispensers.

Legitimately not sure if this refers to a dog or a human child but I like both readings.

It’s Philip K Dick’s world at this point. We just live in it.

Had to route my morning walk around that as well. The stairs off of Christopher Drive also blocked.

Super frustrating! Especially PG&E’s lack of communication about what is causing all of this.

I guess they’re working their way west. We just got one for central Sunset saying 8:15.

Just pushed ours back to 6:15…

Just got an estimate of 5:30 for the Sunset.

Ours just went out in the Sunset. Seems to be cascading.

Sometimes the neighborhood definitely deserves its name!

Stonestown and Serramonte both felt like they were heading down this same path not too terribly long ago. Amazing how both of those reinvented themselves (as opposed to San Francisco Centre).

Didn’t read the name of the subreddit before reading the first couple of paragraphs and I kept wondering what was so crankish about what seemed a fairly innocent (if slightly idiosyncratic) and thoughtful proposal and then suddenly: OHHHHHHHH. Yeah, we’re fucked.

“God…I just want to say we love you, God” was also pretty bonkers. (Though I suspect that one was just a lost train of thought.)

Ayasofya and Blue Mosque both can’t miss but less visited and right next to both is the absolutely breathtaking Basilica Cistern. Just a magical and surreal place. If you haven’t had it before, some places make delicious fried cheese for breakfast. A fun spot for breakfast on the water is Lokma.

Can’t stop watching this. Having seen those kinds of displacement photos on old California history sites, it’s wild getting to see one actually happening!

Philippine Mars flying boat takes a final flight over the Golden Gate. Really magical moment! (Thanks for the heads up, @burritojustice.bsky.social !)

As an experiment, I have half-heartedly tried not to watch TV or movies with violence this past year and it’s absolutely wild how much entertainment is rooted in violence. Romcoms, sitcoms, children’s shows, doesn’t matter. If it has a plot, there’s a pretty good chance it also has guns.

The light in San Francisco has been extraordinary this week. Just spectacularly blue water.

Sadly back in the States now but had a wonderful time in London! Didn’t have time to venture outside of the city though.

The lovely Natural History Museum of South Kensington. With all the baffling recent developments back in the US and the country’s increasing disconnect from reality, it was oddly comforting to see Darwin sitting serenely in the great hall.
