For now, I’m going to take a bit of time time to regroup and think about what's next. Would love to connect with folks, and if you know of any opportunities in journalism and editorial/content, please send ‘em over! Would love to stay in the Bay, but open to exploring. Thanks.

After nearly 3 years, I was unexpectedly laid off from Gazetteer. I’m proud of the stories I worked on, and I learned a lot helping build a new media outlet in SF from the ground up without relying on social or search (and before the Google traffic collapse, no less). Will miss my colleagues.

Doomscrolling break... 1947 - Richard Allen aged 10 escaped to the cinema, living on hot dogs and candy for a week while watching films :) After he was found he said "I guess I just like movies" His story went viral in 2021 - @joshuabote.com for @sf.gazetteer.co

The true story behind the kid who went 1940s viral for his week at the cinemas in San Francisco
With $20 in his pocket, Richard Allen had a wild week of movies, comic books, and hot dogs. But the tale belies a harsher home life that he wanted to escape, his daughter says

Here’s also an emergency alert from Alameda County to keep doors and windows closed in the vicinity.
“AC Alert: City of Oakland Residents living within 3 miles of the intersection of West Grand Avenue and Wake Avenue should keep all windows and doors closed to reduce smoke exposure. Oakland Fire crews are fighting a fire on the old train trestle and vegetation near the EBMUD property. No structures are currently threatened. Forward progress is stopped. 08-22-2026 10:10 PM”

funny little scoop: A lot of the new Tyga/$tarface AI album is "almost certainly" made with the same AI music service used to generate "Rubberz," according to the service's CEO

Tyga’s ‘$tarface’ is full of the AI Fenix Flexin used

“We're not looking for scale. We're looking to just find people who actually want to pay to read this and so far it's seeming to work out." We spoke to @aliciadkennedy.bsky.social @jayasaxena.com @caleweissman.bsky.social @capermedia.bsky.social about the state of indie food media:

New swag just dropped: The folks behind the (maybe-a-publicity-stunt-but-maybe-real) Daniel Lurie porno parody are selling T-shirts of their instant-classic “casting call” flyer.

Why not blow a wad of cash on a Daniel Lurie X-rated ‘casting call’ T-shirt?
As the hunt continues for their leading man, the producers behind ‘Let’s Blow San Francisco’ are selling merch
