@SteveSchmidtSES I seem to remember you have a particular fixation with socks. 😊

[@Darrell_Steinberg @Mayor_Steinberg]

Please come downtown this morning. Gloves, jeans and closed toed shoes. Show how much we all love @TheCityofSac.

@StantonSam You and all the other journalists out there tonight were brave and doing a huge public service. Thank you.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@RyanSabalow Be careful. You guys are doing great.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@Erika_D_Smith @latimes Congrats, Erika! Sounds way more fun.

Tonight’s FB Live chat between @Mayor_Steinberg and @SacCountyCA Public Health chief Peter Beilenson is a must watch for anyone following #COVID19in @TheCityofSac. https://t.co/5XBZJXdqi7

@JeremyBWhite @LaurelRosenhall Wow, I have zero recollection of that story, but it’s pure Willie.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

I did it; you should too! Absent widespread testing, this is a way for reaearchers to figure out what is happening with #covid19 in our region.

[@Darrell_Steinberg @Mayor_Steinberg]

You can help researchers get an accurate picture of the spread of #COVID19 in our community. We only need 422 more people on the app to get a COVID estimate for Sacramento County. Please help by taking 1 min daily to report how you feel 🙏. https://t.co/YbWeREfYyk

Love this. Great idea.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@RyanSabalow Crockpot or stove better?

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

Today we had a press conference that looked like Hollywwod Squares, for those of you old enough to remember. #COVID19 #coronavirus #virtual

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@edit4life @sacbee_news Stay safe. You’re doing a great job!

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

And now, in happier news.

[Shedd Aquarium @shedd_aquarium]

The adventure continues! 🐧🐧
This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season. Springtime is nesting season for penguins at Shedd, and this year is no different! (1/3) 👇

@SRodd_CPR @hannahcwiley @emsteck @sacbee_news @jayrosen_nyu @Poynter @ErikWemple Scott our leasehold is very small, for New Ventures lab. Unsecured creditors committee is generally the biggest creditors. We were hoping to represent the community interest at a table full of lenders.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@Roughani @SRodd_CPR @sacbee_news @jayrosen_nyu @Poynter @ErikWemple Philanthropy also a possibility.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@SRodd_CPR @sacbee_news @jayrosen_nyu @Poynter @ErikWemple @SRodd_CPR the mayor is a convenor. Neither the city or mayor would have a stake. We are trying to help preserve a community asset whose journalism, including accountabilty stories, is vital to the capital of California. Other ideas?

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@Ryan_Lillis Coyotes!! They will take over.

[Mary Lynne Vellinga @MLVellinga]

@Ryan_Lillis Apparently democracy doesn’t always die in darkness.
