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. https://t.co/vlsPRuvCkx

This is Maple. She closes her eyes while enjoying ice cream in order to really savor the moment. Also believes it prevents brain freeze. Just can't prove it yet. 12/10

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.

@janecoaston During my only marathon, the mental exertion it took to will myself to finish was as difficult (if not more) than the physical act of running. I had trained for it for 6 months with a group of people. But on the day of, not having that camaraderie and support was really hard.

@badpunname @magi_jay "Let me tell you what kind of man Pete Buttigieg is: a man who sucks."

That's quite different from "Pete Buttigieg sucks."

[Kent German @KentGerman]

@magi_jay I still recall how during the Dem primary debates in 2020, a prominent online supporter of Bernie referred to Buttigieg in a tweet as "a man who sucks." I was struck by how deliberate and homophobic that language was.

🚨Holy potato shed!!!! This mansion, known as the Shakespeare Chateau Inn & Gardens in Saint Joseph, MO may actually be the one!! For only $2 million you can get this 1885 gilded age mansion with maximum Beautiful woodwork, 47(!!) stained glass windows, “Zuber panoramic wallpaper”, a B&B that “served as a Showtime film location, and another pre-civil war building next to that.

@magi_jay And when she was called out on it, others rushed to her defense saying they *know* she's not homophobic. But that choice of language, when she could have easily criticized Buttigieg without such imagery, suggested otherwise.

California has a fascination with ghost towns. But what if a town isn’t quite a ghost town? Residents in Darwin, Calif. say the fascination has brought trespassers and misconceptions to a community of real people trying to sustain life in a tiny town. https://t.co/he0xKUACBm
