David Bowie passed away 10 years ago today and everything has been downhill since.

Had a nice Saturday afternoon biking down the Ohlone Trail from El Cerrito to the Berkeley Comics Show, where I took in a nice haul.

Star Trek fans: Just a note that Star Trek: Prodigy is leaving Netflix at the end of the year. It's a fun, all-ages canon series (not strictly a kids show) and is also a direct sequel to Voyager, particular in S2. Also, Wesley Crusher! #SaveProdigy #StarTrek

Death by Lightning on Netflix was really darn good. Funny, politically thrilling, and historically informative. Matthew Macfadyen and Nick Offerman probably deserve Emmys. #DeathByLightning

This is fucking trash.

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Has NORAD Santa always had Santa visit the ISS? If not, this is a nice add.

Sounds good to me. Homes should be for living and making memories, not investment.

As a gov't employee, I wonder how the Pottersville Library managed to have enough funds to stay open until midnight. #ItsAWonderfulLife

Happy #solstice to everyone who celebrates. Which is basically nobody.

Guessing there are flow control issues at SFO because of the weather, so these folks flying in from Humboldt County are taking the scenic route.

A couple of my friends loved Buck Rogers back in the day. I never got into it, but it filled a needed sci-fi TV gap. RIP.

This entire weekend

A great tribute to Rob Reiner by Alan Sepinwall, highlighting his first seven directed films (1. Spinal Tap. 2. The Sure Thing. 3. Stand By Me. 4. The Princess Bride. 5. When Harry Met Sally. 6. Misery 7. A Few Good Men). To me, six of them are either classic or near-classic.

He’s made it! Wishing Dick Van Dyke a very happy 100th birthday! 🎂

Former Rep. Jackie Speier (center) swears in new South San Francisco Mayor Mark Addiego (left) and incoming Vice Mayor Mark Nagales on Tuesday night.

This book was perhaps a little advanced for a 12-year-old, but it helped influence my interest in space travel that continues today. RIP John Noble Wilford.

Some interesting geekdom crossover as Marvel Comics reprinted UK #DoctorWho comics in 1980. Here the legendary Frank Miller, about to make his name on Daredevil, draws the Fourth Doctor on a Marvel Premiere cover. (Interiors by Dave Gibbons of Watchmen fame.)

Some of these pharmaceutical ads on TV are downright depressing: "Patients who took WONDERDRUG for DISEASE lived twice as long as those in the control group." Fine print: "Median survival time for WONDERDRUG patients was 6 months, as compared to 3 months in placebo group."

At the Daly City John Daly Library hearing former US Park Ranger and Colma Mayor John Goodwin (@lightningranger.bsky.social) speak about his 27-year Ranger career and new book “Echoes of the Badge.” He just described the FIRST time he was hit by lightning.

The first one was fun enough, but Nestor Carbonell and SMG in the sequel? Looks like even more fun!

At the Palace of Fine Arts tonight seeing Andy Bell (of Erasure fame). Great venue, fun show!

They also know how to spell "intellect".

A military jury, trained in actual military law, will laugh away the charges against @captmarkkelly.bsky.social even faster than a civilian one.

I look for these estate sales, but have NEVER had any luck: Kids find Superman #1 in mom's attic, sell it for $9 million. www.sfgate.com/local/articl...

Tonight I’m taking a tour of SamTrans’ North Base with my fellow Citizens Advisory Committee members! We’ve seen maintenance, dispatch, and the new temporary hydrogen fuel station in the last shot.

I’ve had a crush on Debbie Gibson since 1987, so I’m excited to dive into her new memoir. Unfortunately, I had to miss her concert in Menlo Park last month because I was recovering from surgery. Come back to the Bay soon Debbie!

The house in my neighborhood with overlapping holidays: Christmas tree up, Halloween decorations, still waiting to be stored.

This! We already knew the rich and powerful don't think rules apply to them -- but didn't know that also included spelling and grammar rules.

Dear Apple. Please bring back launchpad on the Mac and Camera Roll on the iOS.

The line to vote at 3:15 p.m. at the South San Francisco Library.

Just voted at the SSF Library!

Will Smith joins Rick "Blue" Monday in the echelon of Dodgers breaking Canadian baseball fans' hearts. #WorldSeries

Dang it. Thought the #BlueJays had this one. #WorldSeries

Time for this kid to come through. #WorldSeries

There's a whole country on the verge of a heart attack. Thank God we have universal healthcare

What a catch! Are we going 18 again??? #WorldSeries

And Bichette doesn’t even have to try to run fast now! #WorldSeries

Big sports day: #WorldSeries game 7 tonight (Go Jays), and #SJSharks vs. Colorado this afternoon!

I put out a little something for the trick-or-treaters to accompany the candy. (Good way to clear out some of the many doubles accumulated over the years.)

I couldn't leave this one alone. Like it seems silly and harmless, but this is such a slippery slope in to damaging conspiracy theories like anti-vax and climate change denial, so I'm going to keep explaining it in the hopes people start actually thinking about things.

Yes, I just listened to the full nine+-minute version for the first time in about a decade. Happy Halloween!

Of course, the men of Gondor were unable to protect Middle-Earth, and the threat of Sauron was only stopped when hobbits and men teamed up with those of other races and cultures, and worked together for the betterment of all.

Will the Dodgers put in Kershaw in the ninth to say goodbye? #WorldSeries

If #StrangerThings season 1 was actually made in 1984, I'd cast: Joyce: Debra Winger Hopper: Michael Biehn Jonathan: C. Thomas Howell Nancy: Winona Ryder (!) Steve: John Cusack or Rob Lowe Will: Wil Wheaton Mike: Henry Thomas Lucas: Malcom-Jamal Warner Dustin: Jerry O'Connell
