  2. A hard no for Matt Mahan, San Jose (CA) mayor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate.

    Per the San Francisco Chronicle today, “Billionaires backing Mahan’s governor run”, we see another example of the entitlement, corruption, and greed rotting Silicon Valley.

    The Democratic Party and voters must enforce position that campaign funding and promotion from corporations, billionaires, and their PAC's must be eliminated. And the recognition that anything that billionaires and corporations do is purely for the sake of greed and monopolistic goals.

    Any Democratic candidate that accepts campaign funding and tacit support from corporations, billionaires, and their PAC's must be eliminated in the primaries.

    While I haven’t settled on my Democratic candidate for California governor, Matt Mahan is off the list.

  4. Young San Franciscans aren’t drinking at bars. They’re at the library

    Young San Franciscans aren’t going to bars. They’re hanging at the library

    Is it any surprise that young people like me are forgoing moody bars for free books when a glass of wine can set you back $20?

    It’s no secret that young people in San Francisco don’t frequent bars and nightclubs the way they once did.

    This has left many perplexed. If the city’s dwindling population of 20-somethings isn’t drinking and dancing, what are they doing?

    This 20-something has spent much of her time this summer at the San Francisco Public Library. And based on my observations, plenty of other young adults have, too.

    No, we aren’t geeks. The library is cool.

    To start, it’s a free third space — a perk that cannot be overstated in this ridiculously expensive city.

    I recently visited the Chinatown library shortly before it closed at 8 p.m. There was barely an empty seat in the house. And it was impossible not to notice the sizable number of young adults.

    Is it any surprise we’d forgo a moody bar when a glass of wine can set you back $20 these days?

    Meanwhile, the library’s marketing and community engagement teams have made concerted efforts to capture the attention of millennial and Gen-Z audiences.

    Their smart gamification strategy is working.

    The library offers a tote bag as a prize for completing its Summer Stride program — which challenges residents to complete 20 hours of reading from June through August.

  5. Our #TablasCreek boxed wine experiment made the front page of the #SanFranciscoChronicle today!

  6. Tried setting my display name for my local newspaper's (#SanFranciscoChronicle) comments section and got stuck by the Scunthorpe Problem where websites use naïve find & replace for offensive words even if they're just a subset of a longer word with absolutely no negative connotations. I would have hoped that a paper in one of the world's biggest tech hubs could do better, but even in San Francisco newspapers still have limited IT resources 😔 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthor

  7. What happened to "stop the presses"?

    Just when I was preparing to enjoy a cup of coffee and read about the adventures of Georgia inmate P01135809, here's what I find on the front pages of the New York Times and San Francisco Chronicle this morning.

    My Mom used to say, "now that's a kick in the pants".

  8. This Scott Ostler item in today’s Chronicle is hilarious — when Steve Kerr pulls CP3 into his office and tells the new guy, “Chris, I want you to play with joy.” #DubNation #Warriors #SanFranciscoChronicle #ScottOstler

  9. And yes, I still get the physical newspaper delivered to my house. Though it’s gotten awfully expensive so I’m starting to wonder if it’s time to drop it.

    The Merc is way better than the other two papers I read semi-regularly - the #SanFranciscoChronicle and the #BostonGlobe. I can’t imagine subscribing to either of those two slim periodicals for anywhere near what I pay for the Merc.

    And no, I wouldn’t subscribe to the #NewYorkTimes either, because 1. They’re Trump apologists, and 2. No comics page.
