The county of Santa Clara deferred comment to Stanford officials, who did not respond to multiple requests for comment. While it's not clear how long these permits will delay the use of this new $50 million stadium, the program already held a ribbon cutting ceremony last week.

All of these people are so weird and shitty www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Stanford Athletics admitted Thursday that its first weekend of softball games were played in a new stadium that didn't have proper permits from Santa Clara County. This weekend, they've had to relocate a tournament. New from SFGATE: www.sfgate.com/collegesport...

For decades, America's tech companies have deployed products with little regard to how they harm their users. That could end with ChatGPT. OpenAI is facing a multi-billion dollar legal risk that no one is talking about. A new one w/ @stephco.bsky.social: www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

This was a tough one to write. "Tucked away in the same display case as the Mantle and DiMaggio balls is his first and only home run as a little leaguer. His dad put it in there the day after he hit it. 'He passed away a week and a half later.'" for @sfgate.com www.sfgate.com/49ers/articl...

This might be the best quote I've ever gotten, manager at an Eagles bar in Philly talking about 49ers fans pranking the crap out of his bar. Good game day read if you're looking for one: www.sfgate.com/49ers/articl...

“In the U.S., an airline isn’t obligated to put you up if you get stranded by a weather delay. In fact, President Donald Trump just recently snuffed out a Biden administration plan to compensate Americans financially for extended delays.” www.sfgate.com/travel/artic...

A month after a @thelatinochild.bsky.social investigation for @sfgate.com into Calif.'s worst college football team — scandal-ridden Lincoln University — wherein the head coach threatened him at the end of an interview, Lincoln has suspended its football program: www.sfgate.com/collegesport...

"I did nothing wrong at the end of the day."

"That people can manipulate chatbots to get more information—regardless of how dangerous that information may be—is a hallmark of recent tragedies tied to AI chatbots." @sfgate.com

Trump is now upset and has asked the Department of the Interior to crack down on stickers covering his face on annual national park passes. They are attempting to claim that placing a sticker over his image voids the pass entirely.

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose. www.sfgate.com/tech/article...

"Who on earth gives that advice?"

You know who that provider should be? The organization that pretty much developed large scale streaming from scratch, and whose technology is so reliable it's used (i think even owned, now?) by Disney? MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL!

Manfred recently said he wants to sell broadcast rights for nearly all 2,430 non-national games to a single TV provider. It was an eyebrow-raising comment, and undoubtedly caught the attention of Giants ownership. via @alexsimonsports.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/giants/artic...

Crazy story...

Lincoln's coach described our 2024 investigation as a "non-story" filled with "a whole bunch of lies." You can read it here: www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

Article about Lincoln (CA), an infamous program that simply should not be playing college football under any circumstances, nor be enabled by the desire to buy into a farce about an underdog story.

A real banger here

"He first said that writing this story 'would not be good for you or your paper,' and then added, 'you don’t want to make an enemy out of me.'" Wild, wild story from @thelatinochild.bsky.social on California's worst college football team: www.sfgate.com/collegesport...

Strava, the San Francisco-based fitness app company, has fired an employee who was arrested outside a Hayes Valley restaurant Saturday on charges of public intoxication. "We don't condone violence of any kind."

As the nation turns to the best college football programs in the country this weekend, we turn our attention to one of the worst: Lincoln University, a downtown Oakland school whose head coach, and athletic director, threatened me at the end of our interview. www.sfgate.com/collegesport...

Kesha’s tour of Bay Area bars continues. Last month, the pop star made an impromptu appearance at the Patio in Palo Alto, where she sang “Tik Tok.” Last week, she hit Martuni’s, the classy San Francisco piano bar on Market and Valencia streets, for another unscheduled performance.
