One of my favorite shots of Cricket and Enzo

No, Enzo is a whippet, but all my dogs have always played together that way. We call it “bitey-face.” When my husband and I first met and he didn’t have much experience with dogs, he would get worried my first two were hurting each other, they were so loud. But just playing :)

The current NIMBY speaking literally just said “I live right next to this parking lot and it gives the area a real neighborhood feeling”

This makes me so angry

Also, is the white one a Borzoi??? Not okay

S.F. activists axe 'Zuckerberg' name from General Hospital in favor of ICE victims In middle of San Francisco teacher strikes, activists at General Hospital changed its name in honor of two Minnesotans killed by ICE.

This is a sweet idea but it's a little too close to "Pretty Good" Hospital, which doesn't seem like an encouraging name

HOLD UP if it turns out Epstein had Irish Wolfhounds I’m going to be upset. He did not deserve such wonderful dogs

“I Have Been Here Too Long”: Read Letters from the Children Detained at ICE’s Dilley Facility Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Absolutely devastating and necessary reporting from @propublica.org with dispatches from children detained inside Dilley. It's so rare to see stories that center children and even rarer to see ones that allow said children to speak for themselves. I'll be thinking about these letters for a long time

Thank you!

It’s almost as good as the Lincoln Park golf course!

Opinion | Want More Babies? Abolish Commutes.

This makes 100% sense -- even with just 2 dogs, it's orders of magnitude easier to care for them with a spouse who works from home. Having someone to take them to vet appointments, walk them every day, etc. is just so much easier without a commute.

On the one hand, this tastes terrible. On the other hand, it’s free in my office and has 200mg of caffeine

I’m amused at hearing the Super Bowl had tons of cutaways to beauty shots of San Francisco, a city it was not held in. Yes, my city is gorgeous! No, we do not have a football stadium

Actually, the Washington Post Layoffs Were a Bigger Bloodbath Than You Thought - Washingtonian The layoffs announced last week at the Washington Post were disfiguring to the esteemed news organization, with whole sections and departments—sports, books, staff photography—wiped away, and devastat...

As @postguild.bsky.social assesses the damage from last week’s layoffs, it turns out between 44% and 47.5% of the newsroom has been axed. It “may have been the biggest one-day wipeout of journalists in a generation.” washingtonian.com/2026/02/09/a...

Sending love to all the #SanFrancisco teachers, here’s hoping the SFUSD decides to end the strike soon by offering a fair package. Info on how to support striking teachers: wecantwait.info/parents/uesf

I know these are automated and get cut off after too many characters, but this is a real cliffhanger

Kid Rock lip synced his entire performance at the Turning Point USA Half Time show

I just asked my husband, who speaks some Japanese, what て form is and I couldn’t even maintain my focus through to the end of the explanation

I’ve never listened to Bad Bunny, but Reggaeton is impossible not to enjoy. It’s just a big party. And putting it onto a beautiful set with dozens of choreographed dancers is spectacular entertainment. Anyone who couldn’t enjoy that halftime show has no soul

As a late-middle-aged suburban white guy I am probably not Bad Bunny’s target audience. Hadn’t heard him before. Liked it. Wasn’t, like, I’m going to stop listening to opera and Bon Jovi and the Cars and stuff and but I would definitely listen again, and I can’t see how anyone would DISLIKE it.

Google Photos face recognition can’t tell apart any of the 5 dogs I’ve had, and it consistently tags our current dogs with the name of a dog that was appearing in photos dated 25 years ago (math is hard!), so I’m not super optimistic about the applicability of this technology

It’s just so far, and I don’t believe there are nonstop flights — it’s always seemed so much easier to go to Hawaii if I wanted a warm island vacation — but this has given me motivation!

Now I want to go to Puerto Rico

Thank you!

Are the people on telephone poles about rebuilding after the hurricane? My Spanish is very poor

I just heard him say “San Francisco!” and I assumed that was just a part of the song, lol

It feels weird to be searching Southwest for flights to LAX for the first time in what feels like one hundred years (they finally got rid of their free-for-all boarding policy). Nice to have an additional option
