A former Meta engineering director reported online harassment his daughter experienced on Instagram, reporting them directly to Mark Zuckerberg. His concerns went unheeded.I am troubled more by the prevalence of unbridled, adolescent bullying online. Why is this so common? But I watch Donald Trump’s schoolyard bullying rhetoric in campaign rallies, even in a court of law. His behavior tells young people this is okay; this is how strong people talk to people they oppose.

Antioch residents call for resignation of police chief, other supervisors

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:01:39 GMT

Multiple community organizers are calling for Antioch’s acting police chief — as well as the president of its police officers’ union — to step down amid revelations that they and other police supervisors approved of officers’ uses of force that the FBI later deemed criminal.The latest pleas for housecleaning at the highest levels of the Antioch Police Department come days after a Bay Area News Group report found that acting police Chief Joseph Vigil, Sgt.

First Look: Oakland’s Good Luck Gato revels in the fun of Mexican-Japanese cuisine

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 18:01:39 GMT

It’s hard to improve on the izakaya formula – a comfortable neighborhood joint with tasty bar bites, washed down with copious beer or bracing spirits. But chef Matt Meyer has given the genre a brilliant twist with Good Luck Gato, an “izakaya cantina” near downtown Oakland that blends the best of Mexican and Japanese cuisine.It’s eye-opening how well Meyer’s kitchen plays with the East-West flavors. A simple-looking taco is the menu’s blockbuster: It pairs a handmade tortilla with pork-curry sausage, ginger pico de gallo and a fried Jidori egg whose warm yolk collects in a wooden bowl for dipping. There is Mexican street corn boiled in dashi and slathered with uni-butter sauce – then topped with more fresh sea urchin – and a Choco Taco that will shatter your expectations for this bodega-freezer dessert.Left to right: Good Luck Gato owner Kyle Itani, chef/partner Matthew Meyer, beverage director/partner Daniel Paez (Nicola Parisi) Meyer was raised by Mexic...
