Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A dramatic black-and-white photo of tall modern apartment buildings forming a semi-enclosed courtyard. The buildings feature repetitive patterns of windows and balconies, with vertical and horizontal lines creating a geometric rhythm. The central building has a darker facade with a vertical strip of windows, possibly indicating a stairwell. The photo is taken from a low angle, emphasizing the towering height and density of the structures. The monochrome pa…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A black-and-white street scene featuring a white directional arrow painted on the asphalt, pointing straight ahead. In the center, a small circular traffic island with a flower bed adds a touch of nature. To the right, a cyclist rides past a modern building with large support columns and an overhanging structure. Trees and distant buildings line the background. The composition blends urban architecture with subtle natural elements, evoking a quiet, reflect…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A narrow alleyway bordered by a concrete wall on one side and dense foliage on the other. In the center, several white bicycles are piled haphazardly, some overturned or leaning against each other. These bikes appear to be part of a shared bike system, identifiable by uniform frames and QR code labels. The scene is cluttered and chaotic, suggesting abandonment or improper parking. The black-and-white tone adds a somber, gritty atmosphere, emphasizing urban…
Lucky SHD 400 (6x6) English Alt Text: A quiet urban street scene in black and white. A row of large, empty concrete planters lines the sidewalk, creating a strong sense of depth and perspective. On the left, a building with multiple windows stretches into the distance, and a lone person walks away from the camera. On the right, evenly spaced trees add contrast to the geometric shapes of the planters. The street is calm, with no visible traffic, and the composition emphasizes symmetry and solit…

Golden Globes' inaugural best podcast award nominees avoid politics
The Golden Globes have introduced a best podcast category that's likely to spark conversations.

Notably absent are politically oriented podcasts like “The Joe Rogan Experience” and “Pod Save America.” Experts suggest the Globes aim to avoid controversy by focusing on entertainment.

Last year, Trump's lawyer suggested in federal court that a president could order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival and — unless he was impeached and convicted by Congress — be immune from criminal prosecution
Increasingly, Trump's …

"Did the Upper Great Highway closure make Sunset neighborhood streets less safe? Supervisor Alan Wong claimed it did at a January 8, 2026 press conference, citing a simple year-over-year map comparison of crash data. But my analysis, using the same DataSF crash data with rigorous statistical controls, finds no evidence to support that claim, and if anything, the data suggest the opposite."

The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year.
It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings.
The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures.

More than Just Collateral Damage: Pet Shootings by Police
The Department of Justice estimates that American police officers shoot 10,000 pet dogs in the line of duty each year. It is impossible to ascertain a reliable number, however, because most law enforcement agencies do not maintain accurate records of animal killings. The tally may be substantially higher, and some suggest it could reach six figures. Deferring to officers’ judgment when they reasonably fear for human safety is sound policy because they regularly must make split-second, life-o…
