WHAT COULD GO WRONG? San Francisco Approves Driverless Cabs!

By



Toot-toot, bitches! San Francisco, which is currently giving us New-York-City-hellscape-circa-1975, is about to get a whole lot hellscappier. And this time it's not Streisand's fault! 

Some company called Waymo (which sounds like a 'mo who's gettin' way more than me) got approval to let loose with a bunch of driverless cabs in San Francisco. Which begs the ubiquitous question: What could go wrong? 

But, hey, we all need to chill the fuque out, right? It's only a pilot program. In fact, a cheerful Waymo executive burped up this delightful bon mot to the Washington Post: "We don't expect it to be perfect. (We) have a vision of safer roads." That's corporate speak for, "If we mow down gammy, don't sue, 'cause we're the future and it's funzi." Besides, they're required to inform the State about all "collision events." So we good, right? 

Given how notoriously hilly San Francisco is, I, for one, can't wait for a driverless cab to come bombing down Bradford Street - which is thrillingly, almost absurdly, steep (when I last drove down it, I squealed like Kanye getting finger-banged). But really, it's San Francisco, ya'll. Which means when a driverless cab pulls up, a hot piece like this will be waiting in the backseat. So we good right?

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
