Though @IFlyOAKland's new name didn't please SFO, it was all part of a push to remind travelers that the airport is indeed in the Bay Area. I spoke with OAK's aviation director about how he wants to use OAK, as long as you don't spend too much time there. sfgate.com/travel/article/ba…

The Air District redacted previously publicized info, including its own rules, related to furnaces at Tesla's Fremont factory. Worried parents at a nearby elementary school spotted it first.

A lot of people are (predictably) misinterpreting this. There has been almost 0 decline among boys. The big change: Fewer girls say they're bisexual now after that spiked during the pandemic.
That was clearly a fad to people with common sense, so this isn't surprising. Sorry.
Young teenagers are less likely to identify as lesbian, gay or bisexual than a few years ago, according to a new analysis.
“It really does look like a free fall,” Jean Twenge, a professor of psychology, said. “But what’s causing it is unclear.” wapo.st/4dtMSyQ

A unique SF startup just made an AI-piloted surveillance drone. Should we worry? They say it’s for safety.

First flight leaves next week and arrives in 2028.
Sydney to New York, non-stop ✈️
We’re excited to announce the first ever commercial non-stop flights between Australia and New York will launch from 2028 as part of Project Sunrise.
As demand for travel between Australia and the United States continues to grow, this new route strengthens one of our most important international markets.
Together with the launch of direct Sydney to Las Vegas services later this year and Sydney to London non-stop in 2027, it represents a significant step forward in connecting Australia with the world.

Read my latest: a bizarre battle over who owns a $4 million Sea Cliff home. An owner disappeared to China, notaries say their stamps were forged, 30+ police visits, zero arrests, and a dozen San Francisco agencies pointing at each other. sfstandard.com/2026/09/10/se…

You know the same Supreme Court that signed off on Trump tearing down the East Wing and building his stupid arch is going to declare it unconstitutional for a future Democratic president to so much as change a burned out lightbulb in the Oval Office.

And I just renamed Lake Michigan Lake Wisconsin. See, I can sign napkins that say things, too.
ALT Gov. Evers hold up a napkin that says “Lake Wisconsin” and his signature
JUST IN: President Trump has signed an executive order changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America." The name change is "effective immediately," Trump said. abcnews.link/82a4Sl7

The tiled pathway at Goodge Street station is easily one of my favourite visual details on the Underground. Despite its striking appearance, it often goes unnoticed as passengers hurry towards the lifts..

I spoke with Calif. gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter about the infamous leaked videos that arguably crumbled her campaign and the uphill battle she's been up against long before the race ever began.
