My daughter crashed her first planning commission meeting last night! She wandered in, took a seat and watched dutifully for like 10 minutes, just holding onto her stick!
Love a civic minded kid!
This post is a spiritual successor to an ancient time when the A’s represented Oakland and I was stirring the pot over at the now shuttered @latimes.com downtown offices

Big Game week really stirs the pot over at @bart.gov HQ!
I spotted @valmenotti.bsky.social from across the floor and came running.
Well my Paternity leave is OVER and I’m back at @bart.gov social duties
I was greeted Monday by a great predawn and sunset Capitol Corridor commute
With apologies to Crockett & Sunol, Martinez is my new No. 1 choice if I need to go into witness relocation in the Bay Area.
I went there by bike & train (🫡 @Amtrak Capitol Corridor 🚆) and built a case to make this your next day trip.

Been watching the 1974 “Planet of the Apes” tv series with my kid. My fav episode is #3 “The Trap” where Gen Ursus & astronaut fall into a BART subway station during an earthquake and need to work together to survive!

Older Americans have the highest rates of gun suicide of any age group. Not by a little — by a lot.
Why? I spent months exploring this question through data, field reporting, and interviews with experts. Our story is up today on @thetrace.org

Everyone needs to experience its glory

Spooky stuff!
New summer ritual: The first day it crosses 90 degrees in Martinez I bike along Carquinez Scenic Dr. to see Capitol Corridor Train 548 come around the bend just past Port Costa … magical!

The Martinez waterfront along the Carquinez Strait is sort of the tropics of the Bay Area?

I showed him this in line and got a “right on”
We also commiserated about seeing The Master in 70 at the Grand Lake back in 2012.
The Bay remains such an extremely cool and small place.
I was in line for coffee and heard this voice. I thought “That dude sounds JUST like Ryan Coogler.”
I turn around, and IT IS Ryan Coogler! People were coming up and singing his praises, so I had to as well. We chatted about Skyline, Saint Mary’s, 70 mm at the Grand Lake, etc. Extremely cool dude.
Bike to Wherever Day 2025 is almost here!
This Thursday, May 15, there will be “energizer stations” popping up throughout the BART system.
