‘The happiest place on Earth’ is bringing out the worst in people online. dlvr.it/S9kwCJ
It started innocently, with people sharing memories of the park on the "Vintage Disneyland" Facebook page with the phrase “My Disneyland had …” My Disneyland had the Welch’s Grape Juice stand. My Disneyland let you fly through the Matterhorn on the Skyway
But the internet being the internet, things took a dark turn, fast. “My Disneyland didn’t let wokeness ruin rides” was a common theme.
It quickly became a pile-on of grievances, from removing the scene on Pirates of the Caribbean where women were sold into sex slavery to changing culturally insensitive scenes on Jungle Cruise that stereotyped Indigenous tribes.

The city’s only In-N-Out location was closed by the SF Dept. of Public Health (@SF_DPH) last week because employees “were not preventing the entry of Customers who were not carrying proper vaccination documentation,” according to a statement from #InNOut: sfgate.com/food/article/S…
The location at 333 Jefferson Street has since reopened, but indoor dining is unavailable, a spokesperson for In-N-Out told SFGATE. Image
Though the restaurant had posted signage informing customers of local guidelines — which requires indoor diners to show proof of vaccination, per @SF_DPH's order — In-N-Out's Chief Legal and Business Officer Arnie Wensinger said the chain shouldn't have to enforce those policies:

SFGATE columnist Rod Benson, 6-foot-10, has a hot take... depending on your perspective. dlvr.it/S9sZvN
Columnist Rod Benson was at a bar watching a game when his phone vibrated. His friend had tagged him in a tweet about tall people standing in front of shorter people at a concert and blocking the view of others.
One reply to Benson said “Nah. At least go to the side at a show. If you don’t need to climb on a cabinet to get a cup in your own home, I’m not here for ya.”

A 2018 study found that 11% of Disneyland employees reported experiencing homelessness in the previous two years, 68% were food insecure and 73% said they do not earn enough for basic living expenses.

While many employees said they would like to take on second jobs, Disneyland often schedules most workers different hours every week, preventing them from doing so.
Other cast members sleep in their cars, or make two-hour drives each way to sleep at relatives’ homes or experience food insecurity, the New York Times found shortly after the survey was released.

In the final two weeks of the Gavin Newsom recall election, every major poll released pointed to the same result:

Newsom is likely to survive the recall by a double-digit margin, perhaps even by 20 percentage points.
sfgate.com/gavin-newsom-r…
On Monday night, Newsom strategist Sean Clegg went so far as to proclaim,

"There's no scenario where we lose," and, "I don't see a scenario where we're not talking about a victory for the governor."
Newsom is still highly likely to win, as polls for big-ticket statewide races are rarely off by more than 15 percentage points.

However, the recall election is an off-year, abnormally scheduled election, and it is quite possible polls will be less predictive.

If you were once frightened by the Bushman, it’s 50/50 whether it was David Johnson or Gregory Jacobs.

They are intertwined in Bushman history, a drama of Shakespearean proportions played out between two star-crossed San Francisco street performers.
sfgate.com/characters/art…
The Bushman’s prank was a simple one. He sat atop a milk crate on a busy sidewalk in the most touristy stretch of Fisherman’s Wharf, obscured only by the tree branches he held up to his face.

When an innocent mark walked by, he leapt up, branches waving, shouting, “Ugga bugga!”
Russ Giuntini, formerly a chief assistant in the San Francisco district attorney’s office, summed it up thusly: "Oh yeah, the ugga bugga guy.

He would jump out and scare the crap out of the guy from Nebraska with the red socks and white belt."
