Poor Orion. I can understand the rushed throw, but he must've forgotten how many out there were.

Poor kid. Panicked when he had the out at first. #Phillies #MLBPlayoffs

The New Era commercial featuring a dancing Fernando Tatis Jr. playing incessantly during the #MLBplayoffs would have more impact if the Padres hadn't been bounced quickly -- and if Tatis weren't a PED cheat.

I first heard his name in a MLB video game, and thought "Warming Bernabel" was one of those fake, randomly generated computer names for made-up players.

Current level of torture: Having to fast for anesthesia later today* and every food app on my phone asking if I'm hungry and letting me know about their specials.

* Getting deviated septum repaired, nothing too serious.

Some good #SamTrans news: ridership is at 99.5% of 2019 levels, despite a small decline in San Mateo County's population. This per a report to the Citizen's Advisory Committee to be given tonight.

Post-pandemic SamTrans total fixed-route bus ridership recovery in July 2025 reached 99.5 percent of pre-pandemic total ridership in July 2019.

Taking some time off for mental and physical health, so took the ferry to Angel Island, where I’ve never been, despite living in or near the Bay Area for 30 years now. It’s a great, inexpensive outdoor getaway with good bike trails.

Taking a mental health day off prior to physical health days. Off to Angel Island on Golden Gate Ferry!

Yet I am still here, and my train this morning was pretty full. Maybe I didn’t take enough?

Decent #earthquake her in the Bay Area. I was having a bad night due to insomnia, anyways. Following my CBT advice means I'm trying to stay up a bit. Glad everyone sounds OK.

Former SSF Mayor Pedro Gonzalez died last week at the age of 92. Pedro advocated for South City as a whole and Old Town in particular, supported my school board campaigns, and was a genuinely sweet man. My love to his wife Eldie and family. www.gardenchapel885.com/obituaries/P...

Sorry to hear that the Del Norte Triplicate has ceased publication. News deserts and a lack of local journalism has led to the poor media literacy we face as a nation today. www.sfgate.com/northcoast/a...

After 146 years, a Northern California county loses its only newspaper

Nearly 150 years of local journalism vanish from California’s remote North Coast.
