Brief

Riley Walz promoted a San Francisco alley naming-rights auction as if a bidder could rename a real street, and @pitdesi praised the stunt. The key correction is that no official municipal renaming is involved: the winner is only buying placement of a private fake street sign, with bidding ending Tuesday at 1pm PT.

This is good stuff @shl (I assume you’re behind it!)

Ever wanted to NAME A STREET? We’re auctioning off the naming rights to an actual alley in San Francisco.

Highest bidder can name it whatever they want. Ends Tuesday at 1pm PT

Community note: The street isn't being officially renamed.

The "naming rights" in this tweet refer to a privately installed fake street sign.
