We're witnessing the death of a once-great City...

 I first visited San Fran back in '73 after having 

hitch-hiked there from New Jersey...  

 

My cousin was living there at the time in a three-story walk-up across the street from Kezar Stadium. I was there on June 2, 1973 and got to see this show from the roof of my cousin's pad. Best seats in the house to be sure...

 

The lineup was - in order of appearance - a (then) local 'bar band' called The Tubes ('One in a million girl' was their big hit), The Lee Michaels Band, Ten Years After (Still remember how awesome they were) and the Zeppelin to finish. Jimmy Page was sloppy as fuck. It wasn't a great set, but still, an experience of a lifetime. On blotter acid. Drinking Pagan Pink Ripple...

OLD NAVY is shuttering doors to its flagship location after being open 

for nearly 30 years. The flagship location located in downtown San Francisco, California, has announced it will close on July 1 when the lease expires. Old Navy is the 34th major retailer to abandon it's business in San Fransisco due to high crime in the city.

Our local sherriff's office released this photo of a clip taken off a 15-year-old little jerkoff busted at his school for flashing a gun around in the schoolyard. 15. The kid was 15 years old. 15. Should I say that one more time?

I wonder what the Vegas line is on Biden making it to the next election...

94 year old Agnes Kasparkova turns her small village into an 

art gallery in the Czech Republic.Thank god people like her still exist 

in the world, although I think they're getting a bit harder to find.

The crew of B-29 Superfortress 42-24598 "Waddy's Wagon", 20th Air Force, 73rd Bomb Wing, 497th Bomb Group, 869th Bomb Squadron, the fifth B-29 to take off on the first Tokyo mission from Saipan on November 24, 1944, and first to land back at Isley Field after bombing the target. Crew members  posing here to duplicate their caricatures on the plane.

Light-hearted humor in the face of death and destruction. My father's generation were incredibly brave guys...

... 

Is it reasonable to assume that everything the Babylon Bee publishes 

is bullshit? I hate to sound jaded, but...

... 

... 

Is it just me or have you also noticed that the kids in ad illustrations from the 50's and 60's all kinda look like fuckin' ax murderers who've found their victim? Juss' sayin'...

The guy standing up in that car lived on St. John at the same time I did back in the 90's. Yesterday, he posted this picture on Fakebook with the caption 'In the 1990's I bought my first vehicle on STJ. So as soon as I get it, what do I do - Pick up Romina and celebrate with some Painkillers at The Beach Bar'.

The little blue Suzuki shitbox next to his? My little 'Spunky the wonder jeep' that I kept for the specific purpose of driving in to town or out to the beach. How fuckin' cool is that? Great memories...

Brig Gen Jesse Morehouse at US Space Command said yesterday that the US is ready for conflict in outer space after developing anti-satellite technologies to counter the threats posed by “provocative” countries such as Russia and China.

Comforting news, isn't it..

Don't believe everything you read but even so, how fuckin' stupid crazy do you have to be to knowingly get on a bus that's promoted as being 'driverless'? 

Yes, there is an actual human in charge of the bus and yes, this is legit, no matter how friggin' crazy the idea really is. 

There's a story about it here:
