SCOOP: @salesforce is pulling out of its remaining space at a San Francisco office tower that carries its name, per a new listing for the property. SF’s largest employer has given up over 1M SF of office space in the city. #sanfrancisco #Salesforce bit.ly/3MAUCCw



An old friend I've never met has left his den for the last time. He was a wild child who lived his life in peace and harmony in nature. We should all be so lucky. #ripP22 b. 2009 d. 2022

Arizona Dems need to have a slam dunker lined up BEFORE their next primary in 2024. Maybe the astronaut's wife?

Kyrsten Sinema’s decision should be causing Democrats to sweat. She’s putting a reasonably safe seat in jeopardy—and in jeopardy to being handed to a goon like Kari Lake—for one reason and one reason alone: She can only win in a three-way race. newrepublic.com/article/169420…

Kyrsten Cynical

The Arizona senator’s decision boils down to daring Democrats to run a challenger against her in 2024 and risk handing the state to a Republican.



#Sinema's switch was entirely predictable, yet was there one (1) major MSM outlet that raised this possibility? #50/50 #MediaMalpractice


Breathtakingly stupid Elections Comm has found a way to stimulate City Hall consensus while making itself irrelevant. Brilliant!

The mayor and Board of Supervisors are united behind longtime elections director John Arntz, in jeopardy of losing his job after 20 years. Here’s how they’re going to stop the elections commission from replacing him: trib.al/XYsu02J



Amazing footage of the first Ukrainian troops reaching Kherson’s main square.



Sure, hindsight is 20/20 but @SenGaryPeters's @DSCC grossly underfunded @TheOtherMandela's senate campaign It's odd that he didn't get a whiff of what was brewing across the channel in Milwaukee Sep/Oct was a lost opportunity so @SenRonJohnson took full advantage, winning 50%-49%

Sounds like @LibbySchaaf is slow dancing the Oakland @Athletics back into the arms of its ex domestic partner #ByeFelicia #HelloVegas

Today Oakland Mayor @LibbySchaaf said it's likely the final deal involving Howard Terminal ballpark will be pushed into 2023, because of delays in grant funding.



I managed to get a copy of Twitter's new policies. Here are the top ten biggest changes: A thread.



"Truth Social" and "mySpace" both trending in Twitter's algorithm BUT Musk firing top execs gets radio silence #TwitterTakeover

Musk reportedly closed his $44M deal to buy Twitter late Thursday night, amid concurrent reports of firing at least four top Twitter executives, a day before the deadline to close his takeover of the social media giant, according to The New York Times. kqed.org/news/11930354/…

Musk Takes Over Twitter, Fires Top Brass, Sources Say | KQED

The billionaire reportedly sealed the $44 billion deal on the eve of Friday’s deadline, immediately ousting the company’s CEO and at least three other executives.



Would rather miss a breaking story/RIP than click on another tabloid link in "What's happening" You'd think legit news sources would pony up to support twitter before Musk flushes it down the toilet
