Discussing Damar Hamlin’s tragic collapse with a friend who remarked that in the midst of a big high profile sporting event on national TV a person was injured and suddenly nothing mattered but Damar’s well being, and why can’t this be the default response by the world when a person is in pain, falls ill, is in need?

The NWS description of the weather we should expect in the bay area this week sounds bad.

Rounded up my favorite pictures from my favorite @sfchronicle assignments in 2022 ✨ Here’s to another year of documenting the beautiful and important moments in life.

I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

EXTREMELY RARE footage of the elusive box jellyfish Chirodectes. Larger than a soccer ball, this jelly is a true ocean mystery, and this video is one of the only in existence, filmed off the coast of Papua New Guinea in 2021.

Yesterday I moved my mastodon account to sfba.social and now I highly recommend joining a “local” server. It’s so nice pulling up the Local feed and seeing posts from folks in your area.

Short rant.

Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.

Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.

It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.

Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.

Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.

Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.

End Rant.

Major new situation in the #otter #heron drama at the #Marin Civic Center. All 7 otters were hanging out on the heron’s turf. Things are getting ugly.
