Today is my fourth anniversary at @TechCrunch — if it were a startup, I'd be fully vested

Was enjoying a meal in a restaurant with a book until I realized some people a few tables over were watching a sitcom on their phone with a damn laugh track, WTAF

16 years ago, I created @music and have been running it ever since. Just now, Twitter / X just ripped it away.
Super pissed

Someone used CGI to add juggling balls to the ball less juggling scene from The Office.

It’s flattering to see @nytimes rewrite my feature on two Canadian men switched at birth. You can read the original, exclusively reported @globeandmail story I took months to research and write as a former freelancer here theglobeandmail.com/canada/a…
Two Canadian men who were switched at birth to families of different ethnicities are now questioning who they really are and learning how racial heritage shapes identities.

Clayton near Market, 1917 & recently
This part of Clayton, when it was built, was an extension of Caselli Avenue. Hardly an avenue, it only carried the 18th & Park (now the 33) line streetcar, the second electric line in SF. #sfhistory

It is bizarre to me that the editorial desk at NYT seems insistent on pretending that no other sources of journalism exist and that sometimes they get a story before them
Just a brief reminder that the @sfchronicle (aka me) wrote about Feinstein's daughter having power of attorney over her two weeks ago. "Katherine Feinstein — who has power of attorney in her mother’s legal matters..." sfchronicle.com/politics/art…

There is a crew working on the sign at @X.
Notable that the sidewalk is not roped off while crews work above.

A lot of people I just made up say Trump can't win in 2024. You know what I tell those fake people? Trump can win. Trump can absolutely win.

I've heard/read multiple anecdotes from Tesla and SpaceX employees who say those companies have firm systems in place to make sure none of Musk's decisions are enacted, and I 100% believe them.

Not many scenes still make me laugh harder than Pee Wee constantly looking at the camera in the movie at the end of Big Adventure
