The product selection is very strange. The employee schedules keep getting messed up. Every day of operation has seen a financial loss. Take a peek inside San Francisco’s Andon Market, billed as the first retail boutique run by artificial intelligence. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...

Scoop: California’s senators have launched an inquiry into T.S.A. officials tipping off ICE agents when undocumented immigrants with deportation orders are on on flights’ passenger lists. This is how a woman was recently detained at SFO. With @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/u...

Think this is my fifth consecutive Opening Day at the Giants with @heatherknightsf.bsky.social? Game was trash but our pregaming walk on the Embarcadero was better than ever. San Francisco was 🌁💯 today.

Did you see the viral video of a woman being handcuffed by ICE agents at SFO Sunday night? They knew where to find her because TSA officials tipped them off under a new Trump administration program. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/u...

Horrifying case in SF, covered by @heatherknightsf.bsky.social. Two years ago, an older driver killed a couple, their toddler and their baby as her vehicle sped through San Francisco. A judge has indicated that he intends to let her avoid prison, home detention and community service. Gift article.

Driving 75 mph (three times the speed limit), killing a family of four, and potentially no jail time. A complete miscarriage of justice. Glad this story is getting national coverage, by @heatherknightsf.bsky.social in today's NYT: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/u...

In 2024, an older driver killed a couple, their toddler and their baby as her vehicle sped through San Francisco. A judge has indicated that he intends to let her avoid prison, home detention and community service. But residents ask, how should a driver be punished for killing four people?

Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

So sorry I missed the Claude memorial. Was coaching a basketball game. But felt better knowing @heatherknightsf.bsky.social would absolutely crush this and our beloved city would represent. RIP Claude 🐊🌁❤️
