Wonder where many of the Bay Area’s biggest names get their hair cut? I spent some time at Dapper Down, the Union Square barbershop that has become a hot spot for local celebrities: sfchronicle.com/sf/article/uni…

Are you or someone you know a tech worker who moved from the Bay Area to New York in recent years? If so, I could use your help with a story! Reply to this tweet or email me at [email protected]

Which is not, like, a bad thing. What the Warriors did was remarkable. Good things can only last so long. Every NBA dynasty has ended up old and overpaid. Cycle of life.

This was one of those stories where, when I read it, I felt incredibly proud to work for the Chronicle. Amazing reporting here.

Also: As a proud Oregonian, I had no idea Grants Pass could have significance for San Francisco.

Great read.

Keep hearing about the end of the Warriors’ dynasty. Guys, the dynasty ended last year.

James Harden and the Clippers head into perhaps the most consequential playoff run of the PG-Kawhi era, looking to transcend years of postseason disappointment.

Coliseum workers get the A1 treatment in the ⁦San Francisco Chronicle⁩ today.

I wrote about A’s fans and the future of fan activism for the The Ringer.

12 months ago, Fisher and MLB conspired to steal the Oakland A's out of Oakland. A’s fans responded by creating one of the most impressive fan activist movements in sports history.

A grizzly bear chase. A dead penguin. Behind the scenes, the S.F. Zoo is in turmoil over safety.

Trickle-down economics: Oakland Coliseum workers to pay the price for A’s move to Sacramento

One of the best things about the A’s organization is the longtime employees working behind the scenes. John Fisher is singlehandedly working to get rid of that.

This is the death spiral. No way to spin how much it sucks. I've been laid off more than once. But I worked in tech, where volatility and mobility are expected. Seasonal gig work has different requirements/ demands. I hope the Coli staff is able to transition to more stable work.

Going to be a little strange not covering a Warriors postseason game for the first time in eight years. Chronicle readers are in great hands, though, with Sam Gordon and crew.

Props to Myron Amey for being named the April recipient of the CalHope Courage Award. I wrote on his story last month: sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

🚽🚨BREAKING!🚨🚽

Noe Valley's $1.7 million bathroom saga ended today, when the unexpected landmark (now $200,000) finally opened to the public.

I reviewed the loo, and discovered why locals are now celebrating - with lots of toilet puns.
