Let’s go Ballers! 👏🏻,👏🏻,👏🏻-👏🏻-👏🏻
These games feel like small town events in ways people in neither place would believe. Everyone’s having fun and happy to be there, more than at big, super corporate happenings. Local companies dominate the ads. Downtime entertainment has footraces for kids and grownups competing to make funny voices. There are taco trucks.
And I can’t get enough of it.

Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao’s home raided by FBI agents - CBS San Francisco:
In an emailed statement to CBS News Bay Area, the FBI said, “The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time.”
Election officials just announced that Thao’s recall election petitions met the criteria to be put to ballot. This hasn’t been a pleasant week for her.
I seriously love Oakland. It’s my kinda grimy.
