RIP John Burns, perhaps the last of a generation of swashbuckling, straight-from-central-casting war correspondents who ran to the sound of the guns and filed exquisite copy at the end of the day. A spendid tribute by @cowellcnd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/w...
Hey kids, look at its grandeur! 🏞️ Fully protected by all our electeds. (never forget 469 Stevenson)

Two straight nights of SFMTA budget discussions and an open house. (Pac Heights and Inner Richmond) Lots of good convos and support for the SF parcel tax.
Tonight, SF and Bay Area transit friends. Rarely do you get public FaceTime with Alicia.

Some great news. Very much looking forward to it.

Please please read this from the archbishop of Chicago

At the SF Lunar New Year parade, Eillen Gu mentioned Karl the Fog. She's one of us.
Contrary to the pattern in other California cities, Oakland City Council is often far more supportive of housing than planning staff.
Planning leadership has insisted on keeping parking mins outside of transit areas, arbitrary aesthetic design standards, shielding high resource areas like Rockridge
SF friends, the minke whale is still here about 250 yards west of Point Bonita. Bring binocs and patience.
Another incident in which a driver tried to flee the scene of a non fatal crash and killed the other person in the process.
Had no idea. (mechanical braking upgrade in wet weather) Anything to retain and claw back ridership is a good thing.
BART found a fix for the problem that caused 34,000 delays in a year

People love car free spaces.
Do yourself a favor and head over to the Yosemite Conservancy cams.

No thank you.
Something tells me it is about to get very cold around these parts.

San Francisco! Which wheel? When bike? How transportation?!
THE NEW WHEEL!
Join us tomorrow as we chat with cycling pros about moooooving San Francisco, only on BFF.fm!
From the Yosemite Conservancy webcam (Glacier Point view) this afternoon. Not AI. Insanely beautiful.
SEN. OSSOFF: “.. why are roving gangs of masked men — who look like they couldn’t pass the Army physical exam — dressed up like pretend Delta Force operators, on our streets, demanding papers, dragging people from their cars, and shooting people to death?”
@acyn.bsky.social
Haha! Totally.
😂
Stepped out of my office in downtown SF and it is a zoo. We have very low flying nuke sniffer choppers, a dirt bike gang of cops, 2 advertising planes and a red tail hawk.
I'm still waiting for my Super Bowl VIP party invite.
Before the Alex Pretti Memorial Ride we received this email:
"This has nothing to do with cycling. Please focus on cycling-related political activism."
If bikes aren't political why do we keep finding ourselves talking to politicians so often to have safe streets? #biketooter #bikeden […]
Just down the road in SM, Redwood City's tagline is "climate best by government test". Sounds like they *need* moar free car private storage.
Doc, Steve Kerr, NBAPA and other major sports' leaders should keep speaking up. Ownership and commissioners like Adam Silver should speak up as well.

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.
The regime is terrified, Trump ordered DHS to “under no circumstances” get involved with protests in Democratic-led cities. The announcement is a day after millions of protesters took to the streets with many vowing to fight the regime & ICE. #3E #GoodvsEvil #NationalStrike
