Remember the case we told you about last Friday, about the guy who killed someone with a mechanical robot dog? Well, the judge in the case (at left) got hit by a light-rail outside the San Jose federal courthouse yesterday around lunchtime. The judge was taken to the hospital but is reported to be okay enough to keep presiding over the trial. more ›

SFist Agitates! (And no, not just from our use of the first person plural.) What causes can you promote this weekend? On Saturday alone, you've got two sets of well-paired options. Make Love, Not War: On Saturday, over 20,000 people are expected in town for the anti-war march. The march starts at noon from Dolores Park, goes up to Civic Center, and then ends at Jefferson Square Park on Eddy Street between Gough and Laguna around 5. However, complicating things, the ravers' Love Parade is happening at the same time -- and also marching from downtown to the Civic Center! Exciting cultural clashes are sure to ensue -- will the black box anarchists learn to put aside the flaming mattress in favor of the love and unity that is rave? Fat!So?: But wait! That's not all that's going on on Saturday! The Society of Bariatric Surgeons (stomach staplers) are having a Walk From Obesity through Crissy Field. Won't those surgeons be either upset (or start making stapling motions with their fingers in a Pavlovian response) when they see that Marilyn Wann from the National Association to Advance of Fat Acceptance is crashing their walk with a "Fat Fun In The Sun" protest ! People of size should show up at Crissy Field Saturday morning from 9:30-11; outdoor activity frolicking is planned. more ›

SFist is the first to admit that we subscribe to a sh**load of magazines. The upside of this is tons of fun reading for the N Judah, gym, and plane ride. The downside is the crazy amount of promotional email we get from our various pubs. (Yes, we've tried the "unsubscribe" option at the bottom of all of these email. No, it doesn't work.) Check out this email we got to some random yahoo account we think we gave to Vogue after setting it up to respond to a missed connection we though might be us. Turns out it wasn't, but we didn't want to waste the email address, and so, Vogue. more ›
