This is the most correct take and Manfred needs to nix the ghost runner

David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · 9h

Yeah who would want this dramatic excitement during the season, when you can have the ghost runner instead

Robbie Williams is one of those guys who always seemed about five feet away from megastardom but it just never happened.

The Guardian @theguardian.com · 10h

Robbie Williams review – tiny Camden gig offers blinding star wattage – and a surprising new song about Morrissey

Previewing new album Britpop to an audience of 600, the star promises ‘no stadium bravado’ and delivers droll new songs alongside stripped-back oldies

Which is great. Too many podcasts are just one person talking to another person about whatever; or yelling about something or yadda yadda. NPR’s got a gem in this.

This one was really fab: “Is Italy’s Super Volcano Getting Ready to Erupt?” one.npr.org/i/nx-s1-5569...

Big fan of State of the World format; just one or two dispatches; sometimes on the news, sometimes a feature with no peg. But it always takes you somewhere.

Finally listened to the new Taylor album: 2.5/****

It’s fine. It’s certainly not her best. But it is better than The Discourse and probably half the pop that’s coming out this year.

Forgot it was an *annual* series for about five years at one point -- www.sfchronicle.com/projects/hom...

SF Homeless Project: The long road to ending San Francisco homelessness

The San Francisco Chronicle has led a campaign to dive further into the issue of homelessness in the city. Progress has been made, but the plight of hundreds remains.

One day, one city, no relief: To capture San Francisco’s homeless crisis, we sent dozens of journalists onto the streets for 24 hours straight. Here’s what they found.

I think that's the entirety of the series. And before Hearst broke/replaced the Chronicle's CMS two or three times, they had kept a rolling archive of all the paper's homelessness coverage on the series page for like a decade. extras.sfgate.com/editorial/ho...

"'You’ll see. When you walk through San Francisco next week, there will be cops on every corner,” he continued. “That’s how it used to be.'"

I'm not as old Marc Benioff, but Civic Center, Mid-Market and South of Market were rough when I was a kid and there were not cops on every corner.

Heather Knight @heatherknightsf.bsky.social · 14h

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

BEC on an everything, and the trick is to find a bagel shop that hits the savory mark but doesn’t drown it in either cheese or grease

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 17h

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 17h

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
