In 2007, I was one of SFist's "two favorite Giants bloggers," so, um, that's something. Now I just tweet. (When I'm not busy running @TheFrisc, that is.)

“They’re prioritizing pre-K and [transitional kindergarten] over the newcomer students," says one educator. @sfunified says there are very good reasons to do so

✅ #Election2026 Got your June primary ballot? This is San Francisco: On many issues, there's no daylight between the main candidates. On a few, the differences are subtle. Adam Brinklow digs into arguably the most important difference when it comes to SF's future.

@SFUSD_Supe: “Kids have got to read, write, and do math. We’ve got to do everything we can to improve academics, and then prove to families that we are their first choice.”

Three @sfunified board candidates, three different takes on the current state of SF public schools. Early voting starts any day now 👇

It’s the first time we’ve worked with @alariosjz — and it was a pleasure! Great reporting on the potential impact of #SF transit cuts 🚍

More tech, less crime, says this former federal prosecutor.

Got opinions? Of course you do. DM’s open to propose San Francisco-related op-eds

Yet as far as we know there was no Ball-Field situated thereupon

🌲 NEW, PANHANDLE ROOTS: The trees on SF's iconic stretch of green have a history dating back to the 1870s when a unsung figure — hint, not John McLaren — conducted a grand experiment to see what would grow there. Kristi Coale has the story and the snaps. https://t.co/BSYyOFJXyc

Great reporting from @adamlbrinklow showing how something specific — a single development in Potrero Hill — tells us so much about our city.

Dare I say Taylor Barton knocked this story out of the park? Yes, I dare 👇

[Alex Lash @alexlash]

@sfunified knew last summer when it replaced the dreaded EMpower there would still be pension payment problems. No one told the affected workers for months. Taylor Barton with the scoop

[Lefty Malo @leftymalo]

Props to the writer for not making a single "no crying in baseball" reference 🫡

[The Frisc @TheFrisc]

⚾️ NEW, PLAY BALL! Last week 2 alums of SF Bay Sox, the @RecParkSF girls baseball program, helped their SF high school teams notch big wins. A record 10 alums now play local HS ball & one will go pro when @wbpl_official debuts soon. Taylor Barton has more https://t.co/fw0gawTpyt

The Roupp is on fire. That’s a reference to a really old song. And to the Giants pitcher tonight.

📸 NEW, NO KINGS: Our art director Jeremy LaCroix also happens to be one of our favorite street photographers. Check out a few of Jeremy's favorite moments from Saturday's #NoKings protest. Best costume goes to (the envelope please)... https://t.co/oidZtmvOwa

Adam reports: "Cities like SF are also supposed to check the status of renters whom HUD has flagged using Department of Homeland Security data -- according to a HUD release entitled Cleaning House."

🧑‍⚕️ NEW, VACCINE SEQUENCE: This school year, @SFUnified shook up its nursing staff and assigned central office employees to follow up with families who haven't met vaccine requirements. The shift may have unintended consequences, reports Taylor Barton. https://t.co/WwvXbrqi61

Previous reports only used a couple months of post-closure traffic data — not enough for new patterns or behaviors to stabilize. We’ve done the first analysis of crashes and congestion with nearly 1 yr of post-closure data. Great work from Kristi Coale and Lisa Plachy!
