Some personal news: I’ve moved (internally) to the enterprise team at the @sfstandard, where I’ll report investigations using public records, data analysis, AI tools, and internet sleuthing. As always, you can reach me at tchien@sfstandard.com or tomo.415 on Signal.
USC's Turning Point USA chapter will hold a vigil for Charlie Kirk on campus Thursday night. Looks like security will be far more strict than at typical club events.
BREAKING: USC and UCLA received violent threats against their Black students Thursday morning that police later deemed hoaxes. The threats referenced Iryna Zarutska, the Ukrainian woman killed on a North Carolina train. morningtrojan.com/p/usc-ucla-bla…
Charlie Kirk had college students hooked. Here's what they're saying about him in their group chats. sfstandard.com/2025/09/10/cha…
I’m a college senior and have never received so many texts from friends about a news event — not even when Donald Trump was shot. Charlie Kirk clearly matters to college students in a way that few other politicians or commentators do. (Whether they agree or disagree with him)
SCOOP: San Francisco police let out-of-state cops run more than 1.6 million illegal searches of the city’s license-plate reader database At least 19 were marked as related to ICE. sfstandard.com/2025/09/08/sfp…
Liquid nitrogen leak at USC prompts fire department response today. 🎥: Anish Nehete

Liquid nitrogen leak at USC prompts not one, but two news choppers to hover over campus and disturb my afternoon nap. Unbelievable.
This landlord wanted only MAGA voters or Israel supporters for a spacious two-bedroom apartment in San Francisco. Wtffffff @tomoki_chien👇 sfstandard.com/2025/08/19/san…
SCOOP: Months into its worst budget crisis in recent memory, USC spent $50,000 renovating its president’s mansion in Santa Monica. morningtrojan.com/p/usc-carol-fo…
Here’s everywhere the $40 million movie about Sam Altman was filmed in SF this summer:
JUST IN: USC’s Keck school and healthcare system laid off 89 employees Monday, marking the largest workforce reduction yet amid the university’s ongoing budget crisis. More layoffs are expected throughout the month. morningtrojan.com/p/live-usc-lay…
Law enforcement agencies conducted hundreds of searches of Atherton's license plate reader system on behalf of federal agencies. Atherton is no longer following some of its policies that protect residents' privacy as they are "no longer feasible." bit.ly/45pXP0y
Cops are airing out SFPD's dirty laundry through "vicious" memes on social media — churning out hundreds of posts since 2022. 📝: Jonah Owen Lamb and @tomoki_chien sfstandard.com/2025/07/24/cop…
This is the coldest San Francisco summer in 30 years. Luckily, I’ve been informed that the city’s nudists are undeterred by the chill. sfstandard.com/2025/07/23/san…
California cops are breaking a key surveillance law that dictates how they can share license plate data. It's unclear who's going to stop them. New findings show that cops continued to make illegal searches even after receiving warnings from the AG. sfstandard.com/2025/07/23/cal…
PTO for Hinge dates. Boxes of busty anime figurines. A lifestyle inspired by hunters and gatherers. I spent an afternoon at Cluely's SoMa headquarters with @im_roy_lee & co: sfstandard.com/2025/07/18/clu…
New: SF city attorney warned a planning commissioner about voting on projects involving her past employer she continues to get income from. She ignored them. sfstandard.com/2025/07/15/san…
A point worth driving home: Oakland cops say they didn't violate sanctuary laws by sharing ALPR data with feds. That may well be true. But those aren't the only laws that govern the use of this data. SB 34 of 2015 prohibits sharing with feds regardless of the investigation.
