I’ll be in my garage listening to the game on my old radio this weekend. Excellent article with some encouraging updates (even though he’s not ready for the victory formation yet) about Greg Papa. Story by @eric-branch.bsky.social

The best Christmas miracle!!! 👠🪩❤️

My greatest work of investigative journalism 🗞️🎄

The Chronicle photo staff has sooooo much talent. 📸🏆💯

Jake Paul fight recap. So glad I didn’t pay anything for that.

I wrote this under embargo and remember being shocked when the other reviews came in. It felt like @pattonoswalt.bsky.social was the only other person fully behind this absolute kickass time at the movies. Punisher War Zone & @lexialex.bsky.social forever. www.sfchronicle.com/movies/artic...

Always good to hear from Steve DeBerg, who I think of mostly for this comeback and that game for the 49ers where he had laryngitis & played with a giant amplifier on his back.

the world is largely a dumpster fire right now, but @peterhartlaub.bsky.social went to "Tuba Christmas" last week and experienced the world premiere of "All I Want for Christmas is You" arranged for 65 tubas — and you should too. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

I watched a 65-tuba orchestra perform the world tuba premiere of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and it changed me. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

Writing a 1,000 word column about how Frisco is OK but only a tourist would say the San Nerk Yankees.

This @sfchronicle.com feature is so well done! Don’t miss. I feel like I just consumed a really good prestige TV series. Honestly started imagining Cate Blanchett in the “Hurricane Weinberg” role. Cheers @tonybravosf.bsky.social and Caleb Pershan.

Good luck finding a decent carnitas burrito in Birmingham …

SFFD station decorations return! Sixth year of the contest — brought back after an @sfchronicle.com article urged the return of a 1940s tradition. Lights. Wreaths. Real snow? And block parties on 12/20! 🎄 🚒 #SFFDHoliday @sffdpio.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

San Francisco: 50 degrees Half Moon Bay: 70 degrees Yes, that's right. 3 p.m. temperatures in the Bay Area. #CAwx

Season ticket holder 👋 Frustrates me that the front office increasingly sounds a lot like the A's/Earthquakes with spending, despite being in one of the biggest NWSL markets with a strong fanbase "We were the second worst team, guess we'll just have to try with what we have, what else can you do?"

I hope this fails spectacularly, and replaces/exceeds "pivot to video" in the annuls of atrocious top-down journalism decisions. The media should be constantly building trust while challenging its readers/listeners/viewers, not launching personalized echo chambers as a formal initiative.

The @sfexaminer.bsky.social in 1927 started a tradition — an enormous Christmas tree on Twin Peaks. But the @sfchronicle.com seethed, backing a man who called cut trees "the slaughter of the innocents." How S.F.'s petty past shaped its Christmas future. 🎄 🗞️ www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

My @coyotemedia.org membership just paid for itself for the next three months with a single story. 🫡 @reveleth.com

With the new SMART train extension I can now take my bike & public transit from Alameda to Windsor. I rolled in on a very cold recent Sunday and found a very cozy downtown — with 225 Christmas trees and a grocery store that has a happy hour. 🎄🚴‍♀️❤️ www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

After a banner year of Warner Bros putting unique, filmmaker driven original movies into theaters and getting giant audience turn out for them, the corporation that now owns them would like you to know that actually you didn’t like this and that what you really wanted was to watch at home.

Happy to report that Claude got a proper A1 @sfchronicle.com obituary. 🐊🫡

“His comments hint that as a presidential candidate, he is veering toward the road to Normalsville by way of the Pander Bypass.” Excellent column by @joegarofoli.bsky.social about Newsom, and his latest weird pivot in the name of bland electability. (Keep San Francisco culturally abnormal!)

The Chronicle reported that Coates was a finalist last month. For more journalism around Bay FC, would appreciate a subscription. When you subscribe off of women's sports stories, it shows in the metrics that you care about this coverage

Breaking Claude news: He had been sick for weeks — was scheduled to go to UC Davis for an MRI — then died early Tuesday. Necropsy found a large cancerous liver tumor. Story also covers the outpouring of condolences for Claude at @calacademy.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

View of the U.S.S. Hornet from my gym parking lot 💯🫡

DO IT FOR CLAUDE!!!!!

Claude the albino alligator is dead My story with @aidinvaziri.bsky.social Lots of cool facts from biologists I've interviewed. Claude knew his name & briefly had a pit-mate named "Bonnie." Most common question from guests: "Is he real?" RIP to an SF icon 🐊 😢 www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

This was a great read!! Nice work @eric-branch.bsky.social 🙏 💯

my waning faith in local media is invigorated by this story by @peterhartlaub.bsky.social in the Chron. Lloyd Kahn is 90 and still runs the Dipsea race. And skateboards and swims in the bay! SF native, went to Stanford. Listen to him talk - so sharp!

I was cheering friends at the Dipsea trail race and saw a smiling 90-year-old reach the top of Mt. Tam. I tracked Lloyd Kahn down to get his secrets about aging. He answered all the questions ... then took our @sfchronicle.com team skateboarding. Gift link! 🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

Fishbone Cheech & Chong The Untouchables* Little Richard** Howard Jones*** *opened for Fishbone **parents took me when I was 12 ***got free tix on the radio. 90% sure this was at Circle Star but may have been Great America. Either way it was past his peak of popularity.

All the 49ers fans gripping over the interceptions, etc., can f—- the f—- off. This team with these injuries at 8-4 is a generational sports miracle. Can’t believe Salah has these 2nd & 3rd string defenders holding the line like this. Next year when Warner, Bosa, etc come back will be incredible.

Update: There were regrets about our team name in the following practice. I quelled the mutiny and we voted again, with an official polling place and election monitoring. We are now the Tsunami. 🌊 Go Tsunami! 🇺🇸 Go Democracy!

So glad this happened!! Saw her pitch for the Ballers. Rod Beck-like mound presence. Can’t wait to see this new team.

Emily Sneddon saw beauty in the display on an obsolete San Francisco streetcar. So she visited @sfmta.bsky.social yards, looked at serial numbers & searched for the engineer who created it. A nice story about a kind & curious person in a good city. 🌁 🚍 ❤️ www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

“while Trump advocates peace through strength, he showed nothing but debility. No doubt other dictators took note. Legitimizing and defending Mohammed this way will embolden him and his ilk to mistreat not just journalists but any Americans...” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

One of the oldest things about me: I record conversations & use transcription software but still buy these — for note-taking but also basically as a prop. Just feels less like journalism is happening if I don’t have a notebook in my hand. 🗒️💯

This is a nesting doll of stupidity. Angel Reese is awesome. Why would the loser fan consider this an insult? Why wouldn’t Draymond just respond “thanks man Angel kicks ass”? If someone called me Angel Reese on a basketball court I’d be riding high on it for the rest of my life.

What! A! Game! Spurs (who are awesome) won the battle of ESPN highlights. Warriors won the game. 🔥🔥🔥

Reminder that @sfchronicle.com meteorologist @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social is an A+ follow for your weather needs. Love how he combines expertise with the wonder of a relative newcomer — in an earnest, curious informative way. ☀️⛈️💯

The trail is out there: After spending the last half century looking at the Stanford Dish from 280, I walked the trail & mined our archive to figure out what kind of UFO shit is going on there. As usual @jachristian.bsky.social upstages me with her photos! 📡👽💯 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

My middle school girls basketball team just voted on our name. Our color is royal blue & they wanted something water themed. The choice was unexpected. Meet … the Glaciers? 🧊🧊⛹🏽‍♀️🧊🧊

LOVE my new @bart.gov holiday sweater. Appreciate that instead of thinking “how do we make it weirder/uglier?” they pivoted to “let’s make a holiday sweater people can wear to a first date or job interview!” ❄️🚇💯❄️

Things the @sfchronicle.com gave away during subscription drives: 🗞️ Firearms 🗞️ A llama 🗞️ A Batmobile 🗞️ Buried treasure And this 1922 house, which is about to go back on the market after 33 years. Gift link 🏡🎁 www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

I’ve been reading Carl Nolte for four-plus decades and I swear he’s never been better. Today’s column is particularly lovely.

I learned a lot about Nancy Pelosi this week — including her very early advocacy for AIDS patients. She visited them in SF General’s AIDS ward and convinced the Reagan administration to allow the AIDS Memorial Quilt to be displayed on the National Mall in 1987. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Just set up a monthly continuing payment to @alamedapost.com! They’re relatively new — filling a gap when we recently lost both Alameda newspapers — and they do a very solid job covering breaking news & culture. 🦃⚓️💯

Woke up at 6 a.m. sensing some news had broken, and wrote this. Nancy Pelosi was dismissed as a lightweight party planner. Read about the 1987 moment @pelosi.house.gov was (metaphorically) bitten by a radioactive spider and crushed her overconfident foes. www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

New sculpture near the ferry terminals has a “War of the Worlds” vibe and I’m here for it.
