Customs and border protection agents are arriving at Coast Guard Island in the Bay Area for what’s expected to be some kind of immigration operations. Dozens of protesters have gathered. Berkeleyside has a live blog covering the situation as it develops: berkeleyside.org/2025/10/23/liv…

@Yeegeefoto Do you mind if we run these photos on Berkeleyside, with credit to you?

I just learned that the ballots for my block were stolen from the mail truck. My neighbors have written to @berkeleyside, our CM @benbartlett, @USPS, and the rest of the council. We're concerned that this may be happening to others. Have others experienced this? #Berkeley

@JessicaMontell Do you know where you saw this photo? We're trying to track down the rights.

Just learned that I am a graduate of the same elementary school as the next President of the United States! (tfuh tfuh tfuh!)

One grandpa delivered Kamala Harris. The other led the A’s to Rickey. A hoops star. A pro tennis player. Three generations of ballplayers. All from one Berkeley family, rooted in helping kids realize their own dreams. For @berkeleyside 📸 @menanatera berkeleyside.org/2024/07/29/fam…

@Forrest_Piano @_AudreyKennedy There's a nearly windowless room down a shared hallway that comes with the unit. We made it our bedroom. The ballroom still inspired wonder for us even after a couple years.

@zacfarber @_AudreyKennedy I'm curious, with the photos, the lighting and the murals with all the windows make it seem so vast and open. But how well does that really hold up, once you've been in there for a while?

This Minneapolis apartment truly might be the most beautiful unit I’ve ever seen and is genuinely making me consider moving oh my god

@zacfarber I can't find a where at? Ridgewood and Pillsbury?

Fun to see a four-year-old photo of my old apartment go viral. It's from a story I wrote about the muralist, Susan Lynn, who rented the space for a decade as she painted the walls and ceiling of the Newell Mansion's former ballroom. issuu.com/southwestjourn… 📷: Isaiah Rustad

@_AudreyKennedy Isaiah Rustad took the photos you shared, BTW. isaiahrustad.com

@_AudreyKennedy Living inside an artwork has its drawbacks, but the space is even cooler in person.

Listen as a sexed-up heat pump sings to you: —"Baby, tell me what you want. Cool days, warm nights. Yeah, sometimes we all need a little help to make everything just right." —"I’m switched on, sipping on electrons, never gonna burn fuel, ’cause I prefer to keep the planet cool."
