It’s a holiday tradition that means so much to so many in San Francisco: Christmas dinner at Glide. Volunteers get up before dawn to make it happen… and the secret ingredient is love. Just about everyone was happy and cracking jokes today. Have a look!👇🏻

Just published a piece on #AI in #games. Forget about VR, AR and the metaverse… AI is the Next Big Thing in #gaming, and it’s already affecting the #game industry in big ways. Here’s a little of what I saw at #GDC2025 in #sanfrancisco a few weeks ago:

What a trip! We’re one year out from the Winter #Olympics in #Italy, and I got to visit Milan and Cortina as they get ready. I saw the Dolomites, toured Olympic venues, interviewed medalists and hopefuls, and met NBC journalists including @craigmelvin. Can’t wait to go back!

The holidays are the season of giving, but the day after Christmas, @SFMFoodBank and @stanthonysf really hope you’re still in the giving spirit. This is a time when they often see interest in volunteering dry up — even though the need is greater than ever:

Christmas may be over, but the need for people in the giving spirit is as big as ever at many Bay Area charities.

What could possibly be a better Christmas present than a brand new puppy?! 🎄🐶 That wish came true for two Bay Area families this morning, thanks to @hssv’s volunteers and donors, even as the Humane Society works to recover from a major fire. Video:

The Humane Society of Silicon Valley needs to find homes for more than two dozen dogs after a fire damaged half of its Milpitas shelter last week. Jonathan Bloom reports.

This is Lola. She really is a showgirl! By our 4th take, she was looking right at the camera. She’s one of the puppies you can bring home from @hssv with no adoption fee as they make room to rebuild after a fire. Two others got new homes for Christmas! Watch @nbcbayarea at 5 & 6!

Fans were raw with emotion after the @Athletics played their final #mlb game in #Oakland yesterday. They’ve made friends, memories and even found love watching #baseball at the Coliseum. Now, with the team packing to leave for Sacramento (and eventually Vegas) fans ask: what now?

The @Yankees won yesterday. But their fans are losing big. With the @Athletics leaving Oakland, it means the Yankees will now visit the Bay Area only once every 2 years. So as @TheJudge44 signed autographs and led his team to victory, New York baseball fans packed the Coliseum.
