Oh, hey, @pressgazette.co.uk in the UK wrote about what we're doing @sfgate.com. "Rather than trying to cover the entire state from San Francisco, SFGATE has placed reporters and editors directly in the places it’s writing about. Half the newsroom is remote." pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/r...

Local journalism needs more Friends, which is why we launched Friends of @sfgate.com. For $4.99/mo you help us keep 60 reporters in the field across Calif. in places you hold dear, and, in exchange, we give you our gift to Friends: an ad-free app. Become a Friend of SFGATE: www.sfgate.com/friend

me: next time you visit the @sfgate.com office, you should eat a bunch of burritos in la, then fly here, eat a bunch in sf, then fly to sd and eat a bunch there, and then see which is the best? @farleyelliott.bsky.social: www.sfgate.com/food/article...

Dear SFGATE answers your questions.

Former Cal mic woman @katetscott.bsky.social is back in the Bay Area — she's calling the Dream-Valkyries WNBA Finals games 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 (w/ a trip back to Philly in between for her PxP day job for LeBron's 76ers) and nothing in the known universe makes me happier: www.sfgate.com/valkyries/ar...

"Tosh Lupoi had a decision to make, he's sticking with Jackson as the starter tonight, said this will be a QB competition moving forward," ESPN's Lauren Sisler said. "Tosh told us he met privately with Jaron on Sunday, addressed the offense on Monday." www.sfgate.com/collegesport...

I loved this from @thelatinochild.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/valkyries/ar...

Good morning from an undisclosed public transit station on the way to Chase Center. I would greatly appreciate it if you gave my Kaitlyn Chen story a read as you prepare for Game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

We’re out here at the Marina Green Triangle for @sfgate.com’s Pop-Up Newsroom from 12-5pm. Come say hi, pitch us a story, grab free merch and support local journalism 👋

State Farm Arena, which is operated by the Hawks, has conflicts with all 3 possible home game dates for the Dream in their Finals matchup with the Valkyries, which means the Valks appear likely to play their road games in an arena that seats just 3,500. www.sfgate.com/valkyries/ar...

Anticipation is building in California ahead of what could be a historic El Niño winter. Forecasters are increasingly confident in the extraordinary strength of this year’s El Niño, and early signs of its effects, including hurricane swells, are already being felt across the state.

Disgraced Cal swim coach Teri McKeever, who admitted she emotionally/physically abused swimmers under her watch for 20+ years, hired a Clay Travis site contributor to co-author a memoir defending her firing. via @sfgate.com sfgate.com/collegesports/article/cal-coach-memoir-lawsuit-22455394.php

“His family court filings also alleged that Jang beat him with a frying pan until he agreed to eat a cockroach and that he revived a cat after she submerged it in a bucket.” via @andrewchamings.bsky.social www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

I am imagining Tim Lincecum, Madison Bumgarner, or Brandon Belt coming in part time and being really unhelpful. FLEMMING: "Webb's ahead in the count 0-2. What do you think?" BUMGARNER: "I'd strike him out." LINCECUM: "I'd probably strike him out." BELT: "He should definitely strike him out here."

I low key love a host hunt

The San Jose Sharks finally addressed rumors that their 2025 goal song was made with AI, plus said their new one was chosen from a group of 15 well known, recognizable songs with Bay Area connections, all suggested by fans on X and Reddit. My latest: www.sfgate.com/sharks/artic...

Last week, the Lincoln High School Fighting Zebras uploaded photos from a media day-style shoot from inside an In-N-Out restaurant. The IG posts got crazy traction, and landed on the desk of INO's legal team. A legal threat soon followed. My latest for SFGATE: www.sfgate.com/sports/artic...

Old Man Yells At AI

“Maybe all of these people really do think that AI can become that powerful, and therefore dangerous. Maybe they’ve convinced themselves that’s the case because their livelihoods depend on it. It doesn’t matter because either way, they’re full of shit.” www.sfgate.com/local/articl...
