The vaccine verification system announced by Gov. Gavin Newsom late last week is now being rolled out in the state of California, which officials emphasized is not akin to a “vaccine passport.”

The Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record, which Californians can register for through the California Department of Public Health’s website, is intended to be an online version of the vaccine card received upon getting inoculated for COVID-19: myvaccinerecord.cdph.ca.gov
"If one of the state’s nearly 20 million vaccinated Californians misplaces their paper card, the Digital COVID-19 Vaccine Record provides a convenient backup,” said California State Epidemiologist Dr. Erica Pan.
In order to obtain the digital card, individuals must provide their name, date of birth, a cell phone number or email used to register for the vaccine and a PIN code.

Created by comic artist Lisa Hanawalt (@lisadraws), the 2nd season of @tucaandbertie almost didn’t happen. 

Following a critically acclaimed first season on Netflix, the show was unexpectedly axed from the platform two months after its 2019 release.

Fans were devastated, and Hanawalt was caught off guard.

“I definitely tried to figure out a reason and eventually gave up," she said.

"I had no regrets of how I made this show, and I’m just glad the fans never gave up on us.”
.@adultswim picked up “Tuca & Bertie” in May 2020, and the transition seems to have encouraged the show to embrace all of its playful oddities.

A physician, two nurses, a pro athlete, a drug dealer and a lawyer who had nodded off in court.

These are some people Dr. Christopher Colwell, chief of emergency medicine at @ZSFGCare, has recently seen in the ER for medical issues related to fentanyl.

"That's just in the last couple weeks," Colwell said.

"It’s really remarkable because it runs the entire spectrum. This affects all walks of life, all folks. It’s hard to overstate how impactful it can be to anyone."
Colwell said on average about 10 to 15 people who've taken fentanyl are treated in the San Francisco General emergency room a day, sometimes more.

And that's at just one hospital in the city.

It started with a petrified tree, half-buried in the Sierra Nevada foothills. The site intrigued Greg Francek, a ranger for East Bay Municipal Utility District.

He inspected further, and it led to one of the biggest fossil discoveries in Calif. history.
sfgate.com/local/article/…
"I looked around the area further and I found a second tree.

And then a third and so on. After finding dozens of trees I realized that what I was looking at was the remains of a petrified forest."
After three weeks of surveying the site, Francek made an even more curious discovery.

"What I didn't comprehend at the time was the amazing fact that I was looking at the bones of great beasts that had roamed this landscape millions of years ago."

It all started with a simple Instagram inquiry. On May 11, Massachusetts brewer Brienne Allen proposed a question to her followers in the brewing industry: “What sexist comments have you experienced?”

She received hundreds of stories.

A few Bay Area breweries showed up in the outpouring of allegations, as did Beer Baron, a beer and whisky bar and restaurant.

Eight different allegations were posted to Allen’s Instagram story involving beer director Corey Bryce Whelchel.
On Monday, Beer Baron released a statement announcing that they had severed all ties with Whelchel.

In an email to SFGATE, they said that “We stand with the victims in the industry and hope that those alleged and proven guilty are held responsible."

It’s not often a crowd of people gathers at an abandoned gas station to gawk at and smell a flower.

But it did this week in Alameda, when a local nursery owner dragged his very rare corpse flower to a place where the public could get a good view.

A titan arum — otherwise known as the "corpse flower" — has a distinctive look with a stalk that can grow up to 15 feet tall.

What it’s most known for, though, is its funky smell, which can be smelled from up to half a mile away. Image
The San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers has its own corpse flowers.

The greenhouse typically extends its hours to accommodate an influx of visitors during that time.

The cause of the Pacific Palisades brush fire is believed to be arson, and LAPD has identified a man in custody as a suspect.

But it wasn't the same man "personal safety app" Citizen put a $30,000 bounty on over the weekend.
sfgate.com/california-wil…
Citizen — a mobile app that sends users location-based safety alerts in real time — launched in 2016 under the name "Vigilante."

It rebranded in 2017 but faced accusations of encouraging vigilante activity in 2019 in New York.
As the fire was blazing, Citizen sent out the notification to its 860,000 Los Angeles users on Saturday with a photograph of the man based on unsubstantiated tips, the details of which they have not yet revealed.
