So wild. I was on the phone with my friend who owns that skate shop. He was brainstorming ways to activate the space and drive more foot traffic. The next day, Adam Sandler walks in. 🤯 And now it’s all over the news. 👏🏿

Adam Sandler made an unexpected stop in the Bay Area over the weekend, turning up at Original Joe’s Westlake in Daly City and a skate shop in San Francisco. https://t.co/HByOBXOZ79

After the I Love Boosters screening last night for Howard University-

My hat decided to hover above the crowd and puppeteer everyone into the Thriller choreography.

This is me yelling "WRONG MOVIE!"

I Love Boosters- in theaters May 22!

The utter disregard for human life and safety this motorist demonstrated is shocking. I’ve elevated this hit-and-run crash to the @SFPD brass and @SFDAOffice. San Francisco needs to send a strong message that we won’t tolerate this kind of traffic violence and lawlessness. (1/2)

I am suspending my campaign for Governor.

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

Did you see or hear last night’s fireworks show in San Francisco? 🎇🎆 It was reportedly a private event on the Embarcadero. @KTVU

I'm gonna go ahead and claim this as TECHNICALLY a prize for his work in I Love Boosters, since he kills in it and he's a star and it comes out in 45 Days (May 22nd).

Plus, we'll be there presenting together to exhibitors on Tuesday.

There’s a difference between living without a lease and living without options. One is a choice. The other is a crisis. Conflating the two for content isn’t bold — it’s opportunistic.

Drew Johnson, 27, is cosplaying as a homeless person to pursue fame and fortune. He wants freedom, he says, but spends most of his day on his phone.

Sometimes God writes stories we could never script.

Humbled to share a glimpse of my journey this Arab American Heritage Month with the lovely @gracesredman on Real Talk.

May the stories among us break down walls, and build more bridges♥️ @KPIXtv

Ryan Coogler declining an invitation to join the Academy, then turning around and creating his own council to help ensure more films are properly exhibited in theaters. Speaks volumes, man.

A ride down 3rd Street in the 1970s. San Francisco, 1975.

This edit is a ride down 3rd Street in 1975, before it was built up the way it is today. A lot of it is still exactly the same, and a lot of it has changed dramatically.

The video starts at 22nd & 3rd Street and ends at about 3rd & Revere.

Its the short glimpses of the people who lived there at the time and seeing some of the cars that are the most interesting to me.

On February 11th young HS artists, writers & filmmakers gathered for the 4th annual “Step into the Light” youth arts competition. This contest created by the Cow Palace honors the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and recalls his historic speech given at the Cow Palace in 1964

After 37 years in operation, San Francisco Centre closed its doors on Saturday, Jan. 24 — two days ahead of schedule. Once the height of retail, the beleaguered mall went through several name changes over the years, including a brief rebrand as Emporium Centre San Francisco.

The abrupt shutdown may have been triggered by a viral Instagram post: days before the planned closing, @bigfolkspop shared a story about a final farewell party on Sunday that racked up over 250,000 views.

Despite the early closure, around 100 people still showed up on Sunday to say goodbye to the mall many knew simply as "The Westfield." A DJ set up decks in front of the main entrance by Powell Street BART, and the crowd danced, sang and celebrated under plumes of smoke — a spontaneous sendoff for a San Francisco landmark.

I’ll be on @KQED Forum this morning discussing the closure of the California College of the Arts, Vanderbilt University‘s takeover, and what it means for #SanFrancisco’s cultural and economic future. Tune in at 9am 📡

I’m launching my campaign for California Insurance Commissioner, the most important job you might not have heard of.

The $3 trillion insurance industry has, for too long, put profits over people. It’s time to hold them accountable and stand up to corporate greed.

I have three major policy plans to make insurance affordable and accessible for working people: Natural Disaster Insurance for All, caps on insurance profits and CEO pay, and guaranteed healthcare for kids.

I’m the only candidate who has pledged not to take a dime from insurance companies.

It’s time to put the Insurance Commissioner office to work for the people of California.
