SF is a city like no other... Always so beautiful
Man it’s cold out here. 43 degrees with 20 mph wind puts the wind chill near freezing. That’s rare in San Francisco. And the fog is blowing in from the N-NE. Weird to see radiation fog move around like this. #CAwx

I wrote about #LongCOVID stealing my lifelong favorite hobby of cycling, learning that e-bikes aren't "giving up" or "cheating," and how riding with assistance gave me back one of the greatest joys of my life. bit.ly/48ohIH5

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.
Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

I am *very* glad that we covered WA voters’ complete rejection of anti-trans attacks by conservative candidates.
In fact, standing against anti-trans attacks is correlated with Dem over-performance in swing districts!
