Started re-watching the old @HBO series "Years and Years." Wow. It's the story of how an ordinary family is impacted by near future world events (well, near future back then). It's uncanny in its predictions of today. Did creators have a time machine? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Years_and…

Only in Rhode Island. I wonder what kind of tips he got? "Hey, a tip for ya: don't go down that alley at ten tonight..." The latest story from @PamWattsWeekly at @rhodeislandpbs. youtube.com/watch?v=sqNtyV…

Sad day. We just did our last morning coffee ritual at the @peetscoffee in SF's Castro. Why the fuss over a chain cafe? It's a genuine loss for the neighborhood..@scottjames/castros-peet-s-closing-means-more-than-just-a-corporate-hatchet-job-c2ca35e4377d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@scottjames/ca…

Sadness. The Castro’s @Peet's Coffee is abruptly closing at the end of the month. Neighbors have come here for decades. Staff says management didn’t really give them a reason, except “it’s the little things.” Berkeley’s Peet’s corp was just bought by @drpepper.

How would you describe what this guy is doing?

Wow. This is a new low. SF low income housing staff steal residents' Christmas gifts. Mission Local has the story. @MLNow missionlocal.org/2025/12/sf-tho…

Muni meltdown. Trains not running. No explanation. Big event night in the city. Concertgoers beware. @SFMTA_Muni @bensonboone

🍾 Congrats to veteran journalist Pamela Watts for her @PBS story hitting more than ONE MILLION views. It's the story of a secret apartment illegally built in a busy shopping mall, and people lived there for years. youtu.be/ME3EExq3t1Y?si…

Love this… instagram.com/reel/DNrxS2ZXC…

Craziest story by my friend Pamela Watts of RI PBS. Artists secretly lived inside an open active shopping mall...for years! Jesse Adam Eisenberg is making a movie about it. youtu.be/ME3EExq3t1Y?si…

@SFMTA_Muni Trains broken down. Warriors game passengers trapped. @DanielLurie @KPIXtv

Who is Putin, really? Here's an essay I wrote many years ago. Warning: don't look at the photos medium.com/extra-extra/th…

Fun piece by @jessemckinley on young MAGAs who call themselves "sexy." But what struck me is how many in the piece refused to give their names. I can't think of a story where any of other Gen Z group demanded anonymity. nytimes.com/2025/02/13/sty…

Trans people and queer people of color took the first punches and threw the first punches in the fight for queer rights. Now they are erased from history? nytimes.com/2019/06/22/us/…

As always, @ErikaMailman is right... timeout.com/san-francisco/…
