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!

The Quiet Crisis: What’s Driving Gun Suicides Among Older Americans? More and more older Americans are dying by firearm suicide, a new analysis from The Trace and GQ reveals. Older white men and those in rural areas experience alarmingly high rates.

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

WHAT

Tbh while I was waiting for this train around 8:52 pm last night as it got darker and darker I was thinking … “you know I wonder if the Zodiac ever cruised this road looking for his next victim”

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!

Very bikeable

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

Biking, BARTing, and posting

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!

It’s very cool my childhood theater is keeping 70mm film presentations man!!!

Very lucky my first movies ever were here (U.S. Marshals, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Star Trek: First Contact)

Time for Sinners in 70

Meeting Terence Blanchard on the job a new career high point

🚨 🚇 TOMORROW, Tuesday May 6th is All Aboard Bay Area Transit Day!

We want the Bay Area to come ride and experience transit improvements.

Guild statement on more layoffs at the L.A. Times — L.A. Times Guild - Los Angeles Times Guild We still believe in the Los Angeles Times and the important role it plays in our community. It is difficult to carry out our mission when our staff has been cut year after year. But we will continue t...

“our ranks halved in just three years.”

You could build an incredible newsroom with just the people who have been fired or run off in the last 16 months, it’s truly insane latguild.com/news/2025/5/...

This is the third round of newsroom layoffs in as many years, and it will leave the Los Angeles Times ever more decimated. Today’s announcement of cuts represent 6% of our newsroom staff. What was once one of the nation’s most widely read newspapers has become a shadow of its former self, our ranks halved in just three years. Although our members and their families will feel the burden of sudden job loss, they are not to blame for what led us here: a stubborn reliance on ever-declining print revenue; a leadership team without a business plan; and a subscriber exodus triggered in part by the handling of The Times’ presidential endorsement. We urge the ownership to install a publisher from outside the organization to right the ship and build a sustainable business. We still believe in the Los Angeles Times and the important role it plays in our community. It is difficult to carry out our mission when our staff has been cut year after year. But we will continue to report and we will continue to fight — for our members, our readers, our subscribers and our city.

A total shame what’s happening to the LA Times under the current leadership
