There's a handful of houses in my court, including mine, getting a new roof this week. State Farm, one of California's largest insurers, came by in July and marked all the liabilities then threatened not to cover us unless we fix.

“You cannot engage with Newsom in good faith, because what faith can you have in a shell of a person who so baldly pursues wealth, power, the next shiniest thing?” Nice work. His first Chronicle quote in 1991 was bragging about giving wine discounts to his wealthy benefactors. Has anything changed?

One thing to know about SF politics is that everyone is currently raving about Manny Yekutiel's transit policy while openly ignoring the fact that he was recently convicted of sexual assault. sfstandard.com/2026/08/26/m...
sfstandard.com
Manny Yekutiel was accused of sexual assault. The SF Democratic Party just endorsed him
A progressive organizer accused Yekutiel of sexually assaulting him at a house party in 2020. Yekutiel denied the claims.

More of you need to complain about how unnecessary it is to have the problematic Alex Cooper introducing the next Pixel hardware. Google is trying way too hard with this lineup of celebrities for its event next week. My eyes might be rolling so hard that I can't cover the actual phone event.

Here's another look at Byline, a tool I'm making at @serpapi.com that creates a writing portfolio by scraping Google search results. It can also create offline copies of the articles by calling a third-party CLI tool. Full release is coming soon™ but the code is public: github.com/serpapi/byline
