“Who are these fields actually for?” asks @SFGate. Thousands of kids, and generations to come, that play baseball. The fields at Crocker Amazon are in terrible shape, leading to frequent cancellations and dangerous conditions. Let’s put kids first @sfbos! https://t.co/SdJFly2Wls

@SFist San Francisco has the lowest share of children of any major American city. This amazing gift from the @SFGiants with support from @RecParkSF is an absolute gift to SF parents, who know that turf means 30% more games and practices. Let’s put kids first @sfbos!

@zack415 That’s the final boss of kid bike transport.

RIP Dickey Betts. One of my all-time favorites and biggest influences. Keep Ramblin’

[Allman Brothers Band @allmanbrothers]

With deep sadness the Allman Brothers Band learned today that founding member Dickey Betts has passed away peacefully in his home in Sarasota, Florida, following a period of declining health. Our full statement at: https://t.co/Y29oYg3YEJ Photo (c) 1991 Kirk West Photography

@zack415 Amazing run Zack, congrats and best wishes. Let’s find time for a Giants game this Spring!

@Hadley @WasteManagement Miss those days. My wife talked a real garbage man into bringing his truck to my sons garbage-truck themed 4th birthday. Best day ever.

[Dave McDowell @davemcdowell]

I agree. Being kind doesn't always mean being "nice." If a performance-driven culture is transparent and fair, you can have both kindness and accountability. https://t.co/BwPMWhWw4Q

Does your webcam suck? Unless you spent thousands of dollars on a DSLR, microphone, and lighting rig, it probably does.

At Graphite, we put the Opal Camera to the test to find a professional and affordable solution for our remote teams. The Opal C1 passe…https://t.co/9QWDc5rdD4

This is a cool program, thanks for raising it up @LondonBreed. My kids and I got to visit @MySFPUC, learn about civic responsibility, and even name our drain!

[London Breed @LondonBreed]

We all play a part in storm prevention. Over 6,000 drains have been adopted in the City, including nearly 2,000 in just this past week. I want to thank every San Franciscan who is helping reduce flooding risks and keep our streets and sewer system clean. https://t.co/ttobQDaWVO

I've enjoyed working with Ethan Smith and the team at Graphite over the last few months. The opportunities to create scaled growth engines with data-driven, premium content are massive. If you are curious about what we're up to, give this podcast a listen! https://t.co/Cuafe8P3oC

Just got a refund for the cancelled Rage Against the Machine show in Oakland. Never been so unhappy to get paid.

With Facebook relegating friends to a secondary tab, is there room for a friends-first social network like Path?https://t.co/aELi9Z3fAL

[Dave McDowell @davemcdowell]

Is this the end of social? Facebook was a way to passively stay connected to friends. Instagram showed us it was more interesting to follow influencers than friends. Tik-Tok didn't require us to follow anyone to get a stream of entertaining content.

So proud to be part of @LymphaticNet working with brave people like Cam and Kathy!

Local Dad drummer sits in with Pearl Jam when Matt Cameron gets COVID. There is still hope for us, fellow Dad rockers!

[Peter Merholz @peterme]

So, this replacement drummer was a dad at my kids' elementary school, played in the parents' band that would perform at school fundraisers (including the auction I co-chaired), and taught many of the kids at the school.
This is beyond awesome. And, #OaklandPride
