Hell yes! Mayor London Breed partnered with 7-Eleven on a new initiative to bring Japanese onigiri to convenience stores in San Francisco. I’m beyond thrilled! Got in line early yesterday and snagged one 🍙 Thank you #7eleven

A person holding a packaged onigiri with a 7-Select label for salmon onigiri. On the label there's a picture of the mayor and next to it it says "It All Starts Here". There's also Japanese text that says サンフランシスコ (San Francisco) and 市長の選択 (Mayor's Choice).
If you’re not familiar with onigiri, it's a delicious and popular snack sold packaged at every 7-Eleven in Japan, and all over Asia. It's a triangle-shaped rice ball with savory/salty fillings, wrapped in seaweed. It’s a perfect snack. But they are *very* hard to find in the US

After 21 years of serving San Francisco expensive ink cartridges for last-minute deadlines, the Harrison St OfficeMax will close its doors tomorrow. (I also asked the liquidators & the rubberband ball IS available.)

I'd like to share some of my favorite memories from OfficeMax. Image In 2019, I attended a wedding in OfficeMax. Very few people know about this party venue. It's centrally located and always empty. Friends married and exchanged vows with a variety of office supplies in the back aisle. We had cake too! There's lots of shelf space. 💍📎🖨 ImageImage

San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is one of my most favorite train routes in the world. We're so lucky that this is our public transit. 🪄🚄

A dollhouse replica of a building being reclaimed by nature, left inside that same building.

A sculpture project I wanted to do years ago, now generated with AI.
🪄 #dalle2 #dalle And... zoomed out! You can zoom out if you shrink an image, leave whitespace, reupload it, erase the white space with inpainting, and generate the same prompt on top of that image.

My prompt for DALL-E used a specific location I've been to, so these results really surprised me.

The @OpenAI team to me: "We'd like to share our new visual media tool with a few artists to gather feedback"

They should have said: "We'd like to bestow upon you the gift of glimpsing into infinite human consciousness to invoke parallel worlds. Ready to wield this power?" #dalle Image It's not just a visual media tool; that's just the surface-level description.

When you incant a new "zone" on DALL-E, it evokes an alternative timeline of human and natural creation—with illusion of having always existed, as well as a timeline that you can shape. #dalle2 #dalle ImageImage
