"This is what democracy looks like!"

Roy Lee, CEO of AI tech startup Cluely, which makes software for job interviews and work calls, told The New York Times that he leased eight apartments for employees in a recently-built luxury complex situated just a one-minute walk away from the office. The rents in the 16-story building range from $3,000 to $12,000 a month. "Going to the office should feel like you're walking to your living room, so we really, really want people close," Lee told The Times on Thursday.

They're calling it " the coldest summer in San Francisco in decades," which feels about right, but August always drags San Francisco out of hibernation. Outside Lands this year was, as always, a balance between long lines, interesting fashion choices, and the eternal gamble of a porta potty. But the music is always worth Karl's ice-cold mood swings, and this month is for Golden Gate Park. Festivals are funny that way; time slows down, and a great set can carry you through that $15 boba tea.

"I'm so excited that I actually went and bought a Vanderbilt hat, and I can't wait to welcome them into my district," said San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey.

"Do you see this as, that you'd be selling these to SFPD?" Benioff said. "And saying look, you're down 500 or 1,000. I can offer you robots to do some of these jobs, even if they're not armed or not militaristic. Is that a role that you see them playing in cities?"

Attention Macy's shoppers, the downtown SF Macy's was evacuated late Saturday afternoon after reports of an "explosive device,' though a bomb squad did not find any evidence of explosives, and the store reopened for business Sunday. If you were in Union Square late Saturday afternoon of this weekend, you may have noticed a strange scene and some heavy law enforcement presence around the O'Farrell Street Macy's store.

I thought about San Francisco. I thought about all the incredible music that has come out of it. I thought about one band in particular that would be perfect.

These days, when malevolent threats seem endless and allies grow ever more elusive, wouldn't it be splendid if queer folks could draw on their magic to defeat the forces of evil? Together with these talented authors, we'll create a space where that just might be within reach. In Charlie Jane Anders's Lessons in Magic and Disaster, a trans graduate student whose funding is in jeopardy harbors a secret spell-casting ability.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- Heads up if your commute takes you through downtown San Francisco. Starting Monday, there will be more street closures for the upcoming Dreamforce Convention at Moscone Center. The SFMTA is set to close Fourth Street between Mission and Howard. Only Muni buses and shuttles will be able to go in that area. Howard is already closed between Third and Fourth Streets. All the roads will reopen Sunday.

HellaFunny is taking over one of SF's premier cannabis lounges, Moe Greens, for a night of "Puff Puff Laugh." That's right... it's the only comedy show in San Francisco where you can (legally in California) get high during the show. You'll see a killer comedy show with a handpicked lineup of 4-5 comics who normally perform at SF Sketchfest, Cobb's Comedy Club, Punchline and Thrive City.

Did you hear it? That roar of jet engines over San Francisco. The Fleet Week Air Show continued over the city's waterfront Saturday. This year, no U.S. Military planes could take part due to the government shutdown, but spectators still enjoyed the show. "This is the biggest party in San Francisco the whole year," said Glenda McGovern from Healdsburg.
