If your colleague mysteriously left work early on Thursday or Friday, it\u2019s probably because they were sneaking out to a screening of \u201cYou Can See Everything,\u201d the three-hour documentary about Elizabeth Holmes from Nathan Fielder. Social media and group chats have divided into two camps: the humblebraggers who saw it early and are begging everyone else to see it so they can speak freely, and the rest of us.<\/p>\n
The Waggle sent our most trusted AMC A-lister, Deputy Managing Editor Alex Vikmanis, to an opening-night showing. His task? Tell us everything about \u201cEverything\u201d without spoiling anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy jaw was on the floor for half of this movie,\u201d Vikmanis said. \u201cAnd everyone around me is, like, \u2018Oh my, what?\u2019 \u2018What?\u2019\u201d The crowd at the 8 p.m. showing at the AMC Kabuki 8 in Japantown was mostly techies (\u201cI could tell by their vests\u201d), with a smattering of wide-leg-wearing A24 hipsters and one exceptionally beautiful, stylish woman who seemed to have skipped a gala to catch the movie instead.<\/p>\n
People arrived HYPED, hooting and clapping even for Nicole Kidman during her \u201cWe make movies better\u201d pre-roll ad. (According to Vikmanis, the Kidman reaction is normal for \u201csuper gay or campy\u201d movies, but not usually for tech documentaries. \u201cThat\u2019s when I knew it was gonna be a good crowd.\u201d)<\/p>\n
In every way, Fielder\u2019s film lived up to the hype, Vikmanis said. It was funny, deeply sad, and, given how much of it is just long shots of Holmes\u2019 unblinking stare, weirdly riveting. Shockingly, he\u2019d see it again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Waggle asked Vikmanis for the best time to use the bathroom to avoid missing anything crucial. \u201cOK, here\u2019s the thing. I need to pee in every movie halfway through,\u201d he said. But this time, \u201cI did not pee at all. I didn\u2019t even need to. My bodily functions shut down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you must duck out, he suggests doing so around the 90-minute mark, when Holmes reports for jail. But his true advice: \u201cEven if you need to pee, don\u2019t pee.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Exclusive: The Valkyries\u2019 drum-banger at Game 1 of the WNBA Finals will be\u2026Fernanda Gordon Fisher and mom Rita Moreno will be attending their first Valkyries game on Saturday. | Source: WireImage<\/p>\n
\u2026 94-year-old Oscar winner and East Bay resident Rita Moreno, The Waggle has learned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u201cWest Side Story\u201d actress, singer, and dancer will attend the game with her daughter, jewelry maker Fernanda Gordon Fisher. Both are \u201cso excited because this will be their first Valkyries game,\u201d said PR maven Mark Rhoades, who made the opportunity happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Valks\u2019 VP of marketing, Andrea Fernandez, reached out to him to see if gay icons Margaret Cho or Billie Jean King might be interested. (Rhoades is apparently friendly with both women.) Given that neither Cho nor King lives in the Bay, Rhoades suggested that a local legend like Moreno would be better. Fernandez was in, and so was Moreno.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s hoping some of her EGOT-winning (opens in new tab)<\/a> fairy dust rubs off on our warrior women in Balhalla!<\/p>\n On Kimberly Guilfoyle\u2019s fall from Greece Who among us hasn\u2019t sent a text we regret? Maybe you had one drink too many and fired off something spicy, only to get left on \u201cread.\u201d Or worse: You were exposed for alleged attempts at bribery, then fired by your ex-boyfriend\u2019s dad.\u00a0<\/p>\n Whatever the scale, there\u2019s an operatic quality to the downfall of San Francisco native, Gavin Newsom ex, and former ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle. Thanks to The Wall Street Journal (opens in new tab)<\/a>, we can see exactly how the former first lady of San Francisco may have fumbled the bag.<\/p>\n It always starts with an ask. In Guilfoyle\u2019s case, it was a 2025 request to Eric Deters, a Trump donor and former Kentucky congressional candidate, for $100,000 to pay off her credit card bill, just days before her Senate confirmation hearing. \u201cIt won\u2019t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,\u201d she allegedly wrote.<\/p>\n Pitifully, Deters turned her down. Paying, he said, would jeopardize his marriage. Guilfoyle, meanwhile, allegedly told him to stop putting talk of money in writing, a message she sent in \u2026 writing.<\/p>\n Guilfoyle later told White House officials that, just like all the texts we\u2019ve sent our exes, the ones reported by the Journal were AI-generated. Her alleged graft might seem like a drop in the bucket for this administration, but it still got her sacked.<\/p>\n Guilfoyle is no stranger to steep falls from grace. She left Fox News in 2018 amid allegations of workplace misconduct, including showing colleagues photos of male genitalia, which she denied.<\/p>\n But even after so many missteps, San Franciscans still hold a special place for Guilfoyle\u2019s undisputed GOAT moment: this photo shoot.<\/p>\n We can\u2019t wait for the Muni bus speakeasy<\/p>\n If you were jealous of the blunt-smoking shirtless dude<\/a> seen driving a Muni bus through Oakland recently, you\u2019re in luck. You too can soon party like you\u2019re Keith Richards on a Muni bus. Three friends recently purchased a discontinued one and are turning it into a party wagon, called Umni Bus, (opens in new tab)<\/a> which they say will begin its rolling party through the city in November.<\/p>\n No, you can\u2019t pay with your Clipper Card. \u201cWe ripped out the Clipper reader and put in a cocktail menu, sorry,\u201d the creators explained on Instagram.<\/p>\n But hey, the experience of drinking cocktails on the bus, and not out of a brown paper bag? Priceless.\u00a0<\/p>\n Incidentally, one comment on the post announcing the party bus came from Alex Baker Whitcomb, who leads social media at OpenAI (two-word response: \u201cLet\u2019s goooooo\u201d). With all the hacking (opens in new tab)<\/a>, spying<\/a>, and defections (opens in new tab)<\/a> going on over there, we can understand why Alex would be looking forward to unwinding.<\/p>\n Ick of the week: The Tenderloin shooter game<\/p>\n After all they\u2019ve been through (opens in new tab)<\/a>, you\u2019d think SF tech bros would stop making donkeys of themselves by trying to gamify San Francisco\u2019s worst ills. But you\u2019d be wrong!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cSan Francisco couldn\u2019t fix the Tenderloin. So I monetized it,\u201d tweeted Pierre-Louis Biojout, a French-born, black-turtlenecked, Y Combinator-connected AI founder, on Tuesday. Biojout attached a still from his homemade video game \u2014 a first-person shooter that encourages firing at people in the \u201cFentanyl fold\u201d \u2014 with the intersection of Eddy and Jones streets and the words \u201cSan Francisco after hours. A normal night in the neighborhood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n The Waggle<\/p>\n The Waggle is San Francisco\u2019s guilty pleasure \u2014 and its most-read gossip column<\/p>\n The response was, predictably, harsh. Tenderloin Supervisor Bilal Mahmood called the game \u201cdehumanizing,\u201d \u201cdisturbing,\u201d and \u201cunacceptable.\u201d Even on X, the post got ratioed: \u201cBring back shame. This is atrocious PR,\u201d replied Mihn Do, another AI founder.\u00a0<\/p>\n By Friday, Biojout had taken down the game and apologized. <\/p>\n Earlier in the week, the Waggle reached out to Biojout to see if he could defend himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI was a bit surprised by the reaction tbh,\u201d he wrote to us. \u201cI can understand why the setting brings that association to mind for some people. But no, my intention was not to make a game about shooting real people, including people struggling with addiction.\u201d<\/p>\n His reason for making the game, which he claimed to have vibe-coded in a weekend: \u201cTo create a game you personally want to play, set in your own neighborhood, and share it with your friends.\u201d He then touted how the hype was driving revenue toward his startup, NanoCorp. \u201cThe game has already generated several hundred dollars in advertising revenue within a few days.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Clearly, that amount wasn\u2019t worth the cost to his rep. <\/p>\n A memorial for the dogs When her dog Suso passed away at the ripe old age of 18, San Francisco author, pilot, ex-firefighter, and identical \u201cBaywatch\u201d twin (opens in new tab)<\/a> Caroline Paul decided to commemorate her in the most SF way possible. <\/p>\n Paul went on Etsy, ordered a Christmas ornament printed with a photo of the beagle-chihuahua rescue, and hung it from a tree in a minipark near her Potrero Hill house. \u201cI did it for me,\u201d Paul said, \u201cso I could see her whenever I walk through the park, which is every day.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n That was in 2024, and for a time, Suso had the scraggly pink melaleuca tree all to herself. But then Paul started adding ornaments memorializing her neighbors\u2019 fallen pets. Now Suso\u2019s tree, which you can find inside the Carolina Green Space (opens in new tab)<\/a> at Carolina and 22nd streets, has become a Potrero landmark, its branches adorned with ornaments of at least seven dogs and one cat. A pup named Cupcake is remembered as \u201cthe most giant little schnauzer on the block.\u201d<\/p>\n Paul posted a reel (opens in new tab)<\/a>about Suso\u2019s tree last week and is inviting anyone in the city to add their dogs and cats to the mix. (The Waggle has confirmed that tortoises, guinea pigs, and other animal friends are welcome too.) Paul regularly visits with her new dog, Betty Boop, a chiweenie (chihuahua-dachshund mix) rescued at Muttville. \u201cShe\u2019s about 13 and had cancer, so she\u2019ll be hanging from this tree pretty soon,\u201d Paul said. \u201cBut for right now she\u2019s just peeing under it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Betty Boop was rescued \u201cfrom a dog-hoarding situation,\u201d so her owner imagines she\u2019ll like being remembered among so many other pooches. \u201cAs in life, back in a pack,\u201d Paul said.<\/p>\n Bad AI ads, Burning Man edition San Francisco\u2019s avalanche of AI ads are unreadable,<\/a> dystopian,<\/a> rage-baity<\/a> \u2026 and now infringing on intellectual property?\u00a0<\/p>\n A Polk Gulch bus station ad for the AI startup Artie caught The Waggle\u2019s attention this week for blatantly depicting Burning Man to try to sell its product. The ad shows three dusty techies plonked in the middle of Black Rock City, gazing at a computer monitor with The Man in the background. Above them floats the vague phrase \u201cLet go of your work.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n The implication, seemingly, is to use AI to do your work so that you can go to the annual desert bacchanal<\/a> and \u2026 keep thinking about work?\u00a0<\/p>\n While the ad itself was likely AI-generated, the Burner backlash is real. \u201cLooks like a canvas for some spray paint to me!\u201d wrote one Reddit commenter.\u00a0<\/p>\n Burning Man is famously not OK (opens in new tab)<\/a> with having its likeness used to sell stuff (one of its core tenets is \u201cdecommodification,\u201d after all), and spokesperson Leslie Moyer confirmed that the ad was very much not condoned.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not license imagery of The Man for commercial advertising,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have addressed this ad with the company, which has assured us it will resolve the issue as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n Artie didn\u2019t respond to The Waggle\u2019s request for comment, though we\u2019re not really surprised. It\u2019s a spin-off of Artisan, the startup helmed by Sam Stallings and Jaspar Carmichael-Jack that previously trolled SF with its cringey \u201cStop hiring humans\u201d ads.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n If this campaign was another attempt to get attention by being terrible, then mission unfortunately accomplished.\u00a0<\/p>\n Overheard in the newsroom<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/-S3840x2762-FPNG.png\"\/)
