This Saturday at #FlowerPiano, I am delighted to return to the Moon Viewing Garden to share some beautiful music by Johann Sebastian Bach, in honor of the maestro's 340th birthday earlier this year. If you happen to be at the SF Botanical Garden this Saturday Sept. 20 at 4:00 p.m., please drop by!

Happy Transit Operator Appreciation Day! Take a couple seconds to thank your operator and put a smile on their face.

YouTube video by WMTW-TV Janet Mills gets into spat with President Trump

Maine's governor Janet Mills has more courage and resolve than all of the pathetic, invertebrate, bootlicking Republican members of Congress put together. This is how you stand up to a weak, insecure bully. www.youtube.com/shorts/a5z4h...

"[A]ny assistant U.S. attorney would know that our laws and traditions do not allow using the prosecutorial power to influence other citizens, much less elected officials, in this way. If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me."

Hagan Scotten's resignation from S.D.N.Y. refusing Emil Bove's corrupt, illegal, unethical demand that a motion be filed to seek dismissal (without prejudice, so that Trump can reserve the right to later refile and continue to maintain leverage) of the Eric Adams indictment.

Happy birthday!

First responders actually making it to the scene of emergencies unfolding in a reasonable period of time without getting bogged down in traffic congestion? Heaven forfend.

Trump vows to pursue more defamation claims after ABC News settlement President-elect Donald Trump on Monday stepped up his legal threats against news outlets.

ABC was well positioned to prevail in Trump's defamation lawsuit. ABC had him in a corner but instead chose the path of cowardly capitulation and self-humiliation. Hopefully the Des Moines Register and Selzer choose a different path and stand up to bullying.

Time's a running out

Gerry Connolly defeats AOC to become top Democrat on Oversight Committee Rep. Gerry Connolly of Virginia won election to serve as the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, defeating Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

Democrats have a clear and serious problem with communication that needs to be rectified with immediate and continuous priority, starting yesterday. So, true to form, the party sidelines one of its most effective communicators, instead of elevating that voice to leadership.

Today and tomorrow: celebrating the 254th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven!

A tornado warning???

Bluesky earthquake crew?

My umbrella in an atmospheric river is like bringing a toothpick to a gun fight.

Yes, that checks out.

I'm not holding my breath but still hope to live to see historic districts ban on-street parking of cars with modern designs that are incompatible with the prevailing architectural character that is being preserved.

Bike-ped path by the.... 100th anniversary?

It seems that the best case scenario for architecture review prose is SAT word mad libs, and then it goes downhill from there.

Excellent news! Welcome!

So far it seems like Sean Duffy for DOT is the least offensive cabinet pick so far? Which really is only indicative of what a disaster scene this is.
