Details about how and why the injuries at the Phish concert occurred are still under investigation.

The SFPD said there is no evidence of foul play and that the death may have occurred after a man intentionally jumped from a balcony. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
“We heard a large thump, a big bang,” said one concert attendee. “We thought someone fell from a few rows behind us. We were all looking around. Then we look and there is a body in front of us.”

“He fell on seats that were’ thank god, unoccupied. He covered at least two of them and one was broken. I’m struggling to get the image out of my head.”

sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
One man who sat in the 219 section of the arena said he saw a man fall through a “large opening” in the section and plummet down.

Describing the steep seating, he called the arena “a death trap,” and said the barriers in the upper tiers are too low.

You shouldn’t be. The LGBTQ community has long been wary of the company, and with good reason.

LGBTQ consumers have had to be vigilant about where they spend their money:

"Many of us don’t like patronizing businesses that might turn around and support political parties or organizations that have worked to strip us of our rights."

Call columnist Tony Bravo quirky, but it’s a personal peculiarity of his that "I can’t enjoy food sold to me by a restaurant company that financially supports a political party whose platform asserts that my marriage is detrimental to families."

The delta variant is still the overwhelmingly dominant coronavirus strain in California and the U.S., but one of its descendants is starting to gain traction overseas.

Experts, including in the Bay Area, are keeping an eye on AY.4.2. sfchronicle.com/health/article…

With the showers Sunday night the only precipitation so far this month for the city, and with extreme drought still gripping the region, the prospect of significant rain was tantalizing.
