zach bryan at golden gate park was a perfect setting for a guy who sings like he spent a lot of time communing in the loneliness of nature. my review for the sf chronicle. #zachbryan #kingsofleon.

Zach Bryan’s two-hour set was less a concert than a communal revival, where nature, music and 50,000 voices collided.

i reviewed Metallica in Santa Clara. the past became the present, and our old fears are new. the short: Metallica is still the soundtrack to our apocalypse.

Metallica’s final night in the Bay Area blended thrash metal, nostalgia and social commentary in a stadium show that echoes the chaos of 2025.

SF's wondrous temple of transit remains virtually empty. Read why, and see for yourself why it's such a waste. excellent work by @CSaid and @alexkfong and @jachristian .

San Francisco's empty $2.2 billion Salesforce transit center is a microcosm of the city's fading downtown, which is having the slowest recovery among U.S. cities.

NorCal and serial killers. they go together too well. not a good thing. unless you like reading these stories.
The Unabomber. Zodiac. The Golden State Killer. The Doodler. Serial killers are very hard to catch — if they are caught at all. Stockton police investigators are facing this daunting challenge now that a serial killer has killed at least 6 people.

The poll results here are so fascinating. Wonderful work by @SFNext.
San Franciscans are fed up: Roughly a third are looking to leave and a majority say life in the city is worse than when they moved here. The Chronicle’s @SFNext conducted one of the most comprehensive polls of S.F. residents ever. Here are the results.

add megafloods to the natural disaster matrix of doom in California.
A harrowing new study finds that the risk of a terrible flood in California, even worse than the Great Flood of 1862 when it rained for 43 days, has intensified amid global warming, sprawling development and wildfires.
