Blew up my weekend to write this “Marc Benioff come-to-your-senses challenge.”

I’ve rarely shared my opinions about politics in the Chronicle beyond some LGBTQ+ & bike/pedestrian safety things but Jesus he wants the military on S.F. streets what the hell?

Marc Benioff wants troops in S.F.? There’s a path back to sanity, and it’s close to home

Marc Benioff called for the National Guard in S.F. The city doesn’t need the military on its streets. It needs the Salesforce founder to follow his grandfather’s example, Peter Hartlaub...

I can't remember watching a playoff series in which I was so equally cool with either team winning that it's preventing me from developing an even temporary, boredom-abating rooting interest.

Really hope to get to @bertsbooks.bsky.social in Swindon the next time we take the train from London to Bath. Might be a few years though since we live in the U.S.

Terrific reporting, as always, from @heatherknightsf.bsky.social. Final paragraphs are perfection.

For years, San Franciscans considered him the rare big-hearted billionaire. But days before his Dreamforce conference begins, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said he would support President Trump sending the National Guard to SF and that Trump is doing “a great job.”

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

hell yeah @williamfleitch.bsky.social

9. If you use Al to write something for you, it is meaningless and we'd all be better off if you had never said anything in the first place.

This is the thing: Writing is meaning. The reason we write things is to express some sort of meaning, to pass along important information, to convey a human emotion or sensation. It doesn't matter whether the writing is grammatically correct, or vividly expressed. It matters that it came from you. That is the point of writing. If you ask a Chatbot to write something for you, you are being fundamentally unhuman and foundationally dishonest. I am not going to bend on this one. If it requires an Al bot for you to express something to me, you and I are probably not actually friends.

Hate it, but Kershaw played it well. Asking Smoltz what to throw was pretty funny.

see I'm not just a crank when it comes to the A's. I mean I'm also that but I know what I'm talking about, too.

(And as the actual article notes, it's a $2B stadium now)

Debacle in the desert: will the Athletics’ $1.75bn stadium on the Vegas Strip ever be built?

It’s been over two years since the A’s were awarded public funding for their new ballpark. But despite last month’s “groundbreaking”, its completion is anything but certain
