Yesterday on a walk I peered into a lingerie store window. It was 1:07pm, and the store technically opened at 1pm with a written sign that sometimes it took the owner up to 20 minutes to find parking. I decided I didn’t need bras, and kept going.

I was waiting in a big group for the pedestrian light to turn green when an 80-year old woman walked up to the group and screamed “ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LINGERIE?!?!” “I’m going to open the shop.” A 22 year old 6 foot 5 man said “I’m not,” and the woman pointed right at me and said “WELL, ARE YOU?” I assured her (and the rest of the crowd) I’d return later. It’s a moral imperative to support the art of bra fitting.

Another moral imperative is buying lemonade from a lemonade stand if the seller is under 18 years old. No matter what you’re doing or where you’re going, pull over. Once the seller is a legal adult, you’re in the clear.

If you’re on this thread, it’s because I trust you deeply and/or don’t consider you particularly judgmental. I also think you may enjoy the tidbits below. I’m edging towards a newsletter!

Grab bag:

• Jasmine Sun, who I’d like to be friends with, just wrote an awesome piece, “No Data Centers in My Backyard.” It’s a journey into the politics of building data centers. Must read.

• Annie Karni (legendary politics reporter) shares an awesome story about the humanity of Steve Bannon as she tells him about her divorce. Read here. Epic piece.

• Jen Rubio (Away) and Stuart Butterfield (Slack) also announced their divorce. In the words of Ben, “too much baggage.” 9 months ago I sent around their cool NYC skybridge / home. You can see their other cool home here.

• Daydream (AI ecommerce w $50M seed from Forerunner; site of my MBA internship) is now embedding natural language fashion search on stores like Staud and Alice + Olivia. Smart! Probably within 6 months AI search should just be normal search. I can’t stop thinking about how The RealReal needs to bring Daydream search onto their site ASAP.

• Vogue World is happening in SF. I don’t know what that means exactly, but I like it!

• WTF is up with the House of Representatives. Too many names to list. The lead prosecutor of the literal INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT was also removed a few weeks ago.

Finally, some tactical (food) items:

• The restaurant I want to go to most in SF is Jules Pizza.

  • If you’re looking for a sweet treat, go to Powder or the Ice Cream Bar.

  • I’m excited for Bar Part Time’s pizza, too.

• Two chicken recipes for when you’re feeling tired, uninspired, and have friends coming over for dinner: Sheet-Pan Chicken and Potatoes With Feta, Lemon and Dill AND Tomato Basil Chicken Breasts

I welcome your feedback!

Over and out,

Sarah
