Andrew’s swivel-chair torture: officially dead. ❌ Our brand new Agentforce Coworker just killed 45-60 minutes of his daily friction. It instantly glues his complex sales + ERP data together and answers questions that used to require jumping between 5 different systems. Even better: He can now build custom agents that run natively where his team already lives:
• Slack & Teams
• Claude & ChatGPT
• Mobile
This isn’t incremental.
This is the new standard. 🚀

Historical fun fact: today is not the first time @PGE4Me plunged large swaths of San Francisco into darkness on the Saturday before Christmas — among the busiest shopping days of the year — and today’s outage would appear to involve the same substation to blame 22 years ago.
The City has charging locations available for residents still without power. While the Main Library, Richmond, and Anza branches remain offline due to the power outage, all other branches are open during regular hours until 5pm for device charging. Bring cables and allow extra travel time due to rain. https://t.co/vpT1KAzUkJ
During an extended power outage:
- Conserve phone battery and enable low-power mode on devices
- Keep flashlights, headlamps, and extra batteries nearby
- Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed; follow food safety guidance if outages continue
- Avoid using candles—use battery-powered lighting instead
- Plan ahead for limited lighting, heating, and internet access
Moderate to heavy rain and hazardous winds are expected for much of the week. Residents should be prepared for impacts to holiday travel (driving, flight delays, etc) and should pay careful attention to the weather forecast, adjusting holiday travel plans as needed to avoid the most impactful weather. Take the time to prepare now:
- Secure loose outdoor items
- Check storm drains
- Charge phones and backup batteries
- Bring flashlights and extra batteries within reach
- Avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm conditions
- Stay away from downed power lines and flooded areas
Conditions can change quickly. Monitor the forecast from the National Weather Service at https://t.co/Q5uygpT0YB and be ready to adjust plans. More safety tips at https://t.co/UStoe8fQTo
I’m in the Richmond checking on some of our residents and small businesses. Some customers are starting to get power back with PG&E restoring power to 4,000 more homes, but there are still 17,000 customers without power. If you have a small businesses that’s impacted, you can file a claim at https://t.co/UEyfuuq9Vs. Please continue to check on your neighbors as we work to get a timeline from PG&E for full restoration.
A 17-year-old just built a mind-controlled prosthetic arm for $300.
Yes, $300.
For something that usually costs $450,000.
Let that hit you.
A teenager, working from home, used AI, cheap materials, and 23,000 lines of code to build a device that reads brain signals without surgery, without implants, and without a $450K price tag.
This is not a feel-good story.
It’s a warning shot.
How can a high school student build something 1,500× cheaper than the industry standard?
What does that say about innovation?
About pricing?
About who gets access to life-changing technology?
Of course, medical prosthetics are expensive for real reasons:
materials, testing, regulation, customization.
But let’s be honest — not all of that justifies a half-million-dollar price.
This story exposes a simple truth:
The future of accessibility won’t come from the system.
It will come from the outsiders who dare to challenge it.
If a 17-year-old can match top-tier prosthetics for a fraction of the cost…
why aren’t these solutions available to the millions who need them?
What do you think — breakthrough moment or the start of a bigger revolution?

Bill Maher is just right tonight. Talking with people we disagree with isn’t endorsement—it’s courage. Shutting down dialogue doesn’t protect ideas; it suffocates them. Innovation, understanding, and healing always begin at the same table, especially when it feels uncomfortable. Let’s choose conversation over cancellation. That’s the America I believe in. In Hawai‘i, that’s Ohana. That is also Aloha. And it works! 🙏❤️
Meteorologist Matthew Cappucci flew into the eye of Hurricane Melissa, the Category 5 storm that is projected to hit Jamaica.

I applaud Mayor @DanielLurie for doubling down on solutions-oriented pragmatism, and for setting a principled example for how to put partisanship aside. Honestly, I applaud President @realDonaldTrump, too, for calling off the federal deployment and for his willingness to work together — not as Democrats and Republicans, but as Americans and San Franciscans. (1/2)
BREAKING: Trump says in a social media post he's decided to back away from the plan to send more federal agents into San Francisco for now. https://t.co/QT35bnXOqN
Yesterday, I spoke to San Franciscans about a potential federal deployment in our city. I said then what I have said since taking office, that keeping San Franciscans safe is my top priority.
Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise. Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office.
We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery. We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong.
In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed that direction in our conversation this morning.
My team will continue to monitor the situation closely, and our city remains prepared for any scenario.
I am profoundly grateful to all the San Franciscans who came together over the last several days. Our city leaders have been united behind the goal of public safety. And our values have been on full display—this is the best of our city.
"Every border patrol agent is now doing their job... not changing diapers, making baby formula, making hospital runs... 'humanitarian stuff,'" Trump's Border Czar @RealTomHoman told @brittanyagibson at #AxiosFODSummit.
Since the day I took office, my top priority has been keeping San Franciscans safe. For months, we have been anticipating the possibility of some kind of federal deployment in our city.
Our communities have already endured the painful impact of aggressive immigration enforcement. At the same time, we continue to see escalated operations across the country.
For the last ten months, we have been taking steps to prepare for this kind of escalation here in San Francisco.
And I want to be very clear: We are prepared.
Just a few minutes ago, I signed an executive directive that will build on these preparations, strengthen the city’s support for our immigrant communities, and ensure our departments are coordinated ahead of any federal deployment.
And while we cannot control the federal government, here in San Francisco, we define who we are. We stick to our values. We support our communities the way we always have.
“There are going to be a lot of people who see this news this afternoon and have no idea who Charlie Kirk is. And that’s not their fault. And it speaks to the incredibly digital and algorithmic world that we now live in.”
“You may not listen to his satellite radio channel, but a lot of your relatives and friends and coworkers probably did. They'll know who he is, and you should talk to them about who he was and what he did.”
