Dear sky: Please stop raining. You're being a jerk. Sincerely, everyone. [SFGate]The Palms defended. Sort of. [Curbed]Weeeee: Q4 earnings fell at Google.

Aaron, what's going on? Things okay at home? You can tell us, man. Because: San Francisco Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin has been on a bit of a roll lately. In addition to threatening to have Newsom's director of climate protection initiatives, Wade Crowfoot, canned out of mere spite, Peskin has also reportedly bullied Port of San Francisco employees for disagreeing "with him over building-height limits on the city's waterfront." Last August, the......

Hey, Dan Noyes, here's a gotcha technique to consider -- cyberspace! Gavin took a break from Davos to do a virtual interview with the Second Life news center. Alas, there are no chicken avatars present. Good work, virtual Wade Crowfoot! That's Gavin's avatar to the left -- we got a little confused about the avatars because his Reuters interviewer is wearing a blue tie, and that threw us off.

There's no Swells society column today! Sad! So we're doing a Fake Question Time By The Numbers instead. Number of people in attendance: 200. Number of chickens: 6. Number of times Angela Alioto referred to "Bessie," a 94-year-old homeless woman she's befriended: 6. Number of questions Gavin collected: 2 inches of cards (We'd estimate maybe around 100). Number of questions Gavin read: About 10 (grouped into categories, except for our question, which he did not......

Boris Delepine in Ross Mirkarimi's office wrote to let us know that the supe's team, the B.O.S. Hogs, beat the mayor's team, the Blues, in Softball on a chilly evening in the Presidio yesterday. The B.O.S. Hogs, composed mostly of aides to the supes, finished the regular season with nary a loss to their record, and the only actual supervisor on the team, Sean Elsbernd, is leading the league with an astonishing nine dingers......
