Gus Dobbins, 92, last day on the job at Oakland Coliseum.

In a major coup, MUBI - a streaming service that's Criterion for people who think Criterion is too mainstream - has acquired & restored Tarsem's brilliant THE FALL, *available today*. A criminally underseen masterpiece, this movie has been hard to find for YEARS. Fucking LOVE it!

Circle shrank today, now at 27 miles in diameter. Treasure now worth $113,000. projectskydrop.com

My (free!) farewell column after 23 years -- why I wish I'd been carrying a camera my first day on the gig, and why S.F.'s future is brighter than what the doomsters say: sfchronicle.com/sf/article/bui…

Illinois!! Chicago! I'll be in the area next Sunday, Nov. 10, speaking about the codebreaker Elizebeth Friedman & the mysteries/lore of Riverbank. It's at the Geneva Public Library near the former Riverbank Labs! More info: gpld.org/fall-author-fe… Geneva_Library

FYI, this is how SpaceX, a private company, marks their emails in an attempt to have it exempt from the FOIA when they communicate with a govt agency.

My useless, pointless prediction, about which I feel 1% confident: Harris wins; Trump attempts procedural coup; a simmer of political violence; Harris takes power; simmer continues; *this* fascist formation hardens but shrinks. This is my version of optimism. It could be worse!

Elena Rybakina blasting the ball against Sabalenka in Riyadh. Clean, effortless, fluid stokes that make ball-bashing look easy. Wow. 😮‍💨

MY GOD ITS HAPPENING

ICYMI: My latest is a long piece on the historic rise in social isolation in America. Here are the 10 most important, depressing, or just mind-blowing statistics I found in my reporting. ON SOCIAL ISOLATION 1. Men who watch television now spend 7 hours in front of the TV for

Kevin's book - THE LOST AND THE FOUND - is just tremendous. I'm so glad that the world is learning what Bay Area readers have known for a long time, about Kevin Fagan's skill, tenacity, and empathy. One of the most genuine & gifted journalists you'll ever meet. Proud to know him.

One of my all-time favourite Daniil Medvedev celebrations, pure unbrindled joy, beautiful scenes

Man what a joy to watch Musetti play. Beautiful game, and also, you can see him adapt, figure things out. His inner monologue seems transparent in such a generous and entertaining way

Sad news: the Trump admin halted construction on a ship named for Elizebeth Friedman, WWII codebreaking hero. Ship is partly built & they're scrapping it for parts! Only 1 other cutter in its class is named for a woman. DHS blames delays. Seems like BS to me.
