"The Santa Rosa police nabbed a prolific Sonoma County graffiti tagger and his filming associate, and they did so using Snapchat. The alleged taggers are 23-year-old Fabian Manriquez Lopez and 20-year-old associate Alexis Smith, who maybe should not have used Snapchat to document the accused deeds, because police obtained search warrants for those accounts to bust them.

"Mission Local is making some noise that beloved Potrero Hill punk bar Thee Parkside might close, because a new owner just bought the building. Bar owner Malia Spanyol says a developer bought the property, which likely means the building is getting knocked down and rebuilt taller, though insists she would relocate the bar to another dirtbaggy corner if forced out.

"A new poll found enthusiasm for former Rep. Katie Porter in her likely run for California Governor in 2026, and she's in the lead, but Undecided is currently well ahead of any declared candidates. Meanwhile, Politico claims that buzz grows for a Senator Alex Padilla candidacy, but their only proof for this is that someone's doing polling on his behalf. [Bay Area News Group]"
"In a story we worry we're going to hear many times again, facial recognition software wrongly identified an indecent exposure suspect in New York City, and the wrong man was arrested for the crime. [NY Times] Youtube TV and Fox Sports are locked in a major contract dispute, and Youtube TV customers who paid handsomely for their football packages might lose their Fox games, including this weekend's Ohio State-Texas blockbuster, and next weekend's 49ers opener in Seattle. [SFGate]"
Santa Rosa police arrested 23-year-old Fabian Manriquez Lopez and 20-year-old Alexis Smith after obtaining Snapchat search warrants for accounts documenting alleged graffiti tagging. A developer purchased Thee Parkside's building in Potrero Hill, putting the punk bar at risk of demolition; owner Malia Spanyol says she would relocate if forced out. Polling shows former Rep. Katie Porter leads among likely California governor candidates, though many voters remain undecided, and separate polling activity has generated buzz around Senator Alex Padilla. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement, Google added a search visual, facial recognition misidentified a NYC suspect, and YouTube TV faces a Fox sports dispute.
