Many of us on this website live in the bay area. The earthquake woke us up with a stern jolt and now you're witnessing a shared moment in the community as we try to drift back to sleep.

I was in a hot tub with friends! We wall went to Portola Music Festival and we were having a nice connective low key evening when this big shake surprised us!

I was in a self-driving cab while live-tweeting a founder therapy circle on my way to my rooftop co-living space for a seed round pitch for my biohacking startup!

I was training an LLM to do my NIMBYism for me!

Peak California, right here sir.

What’s maybe peak California about it is that everyone in the hot tub was trans, and aside from me everyone had come to California as a refuge because they couldn’t be themselves in other states. California is one of the few states where we have a chance to live our lives on peace and relative safety.

Over in Redwood City, I was woken up by MyShake, and we carefully felt for something, anything... but it was not to be.
