Of course I had to check out the new, 45-foot tall naked woman gracing downtown San Francisco.

On April 15, 1850, San Francisco was incorporated as a city. Looking pretty great at 175 years old.

Have visited the San Francisco road formerly known as the Great Highway — now car-free Sunset Dunes! — three times this week.

It was great to be downtown tonight at @kalwradio.bsky.social to chat about what Mayor Daniel Lurie will mean for San Francisco.
I am almost as obsessed with @fitzthereporter.bsky.social’s jacket as I am with F-cars.

I have not thought about constitutional conventions this much since…ever? It was interesting delving into the arcane topic for my scoop on @scottwiener.bsky.social’s new legislation that would rescind all of California’s previous calls for one. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/16/u...
