I caught up with @baelentina_ and @lukeigel to get a vibe check on SF so far in 2026 and explain why Corgi-posting proliferated across the timeline (i'm sorry).

Also you might have noticed that MOTS looks somewhat polished?? Well Luke's product @trykino kind of changed my life.

There has been a lot of discussion of the SF housing crisis on the timeline recently so I brought on @sdamico and @Noahpinion to break down how we got here while we cooked some steaks.

I caught up with @Celesteamadon to chat about a few things SF dating:
- Single until series B

- Men in SF

I was also put on the spot with how I used to date (trick question I was terrified).

I took Dr Mike to the park to see the dogs and talk about classic San Francisco topics such as:
- the permanent underclass
- artificial intelligence
- human enhancement and peptides
Everybody has been waiting to hear what the bodybuilders have to say about all this.
