i asked Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 why he loves living in SF in 2026. "weird is back" - Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 "weird was a thing in the 2000s but in the 2010s after the facebook IPO and the financial crisis i felt that weird was dying in this city" "i was wondering if SF was destined to become an anarchist wasteland (portland) or a corporate globobalist (austin) and it didn't do either one" "the cool thing about a city getting weirder is that you don't know which direction it's going to go"
