I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Gavin Newsom signed three laws Wednesday aimed at addressing some of the most pressing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12050242/marin-moves-forward-with-ban-on-some-e-bikes-for-youth-as-research-into-safety-continues\">safety concerns\u003c/a> surrounding e-bikes, as the devices’ popularity continues to rise in California.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>SB 1167 prohibits any electric device capable of traveling faster than 20 mph with a throttle or 28 mph with a pedal assist — California’s existing speed limits for e-bikes — from being sold or advertised as an e-bike. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The new law groups those devices into the “moped” or “motor-driven cycle” category in the state’s vehicle code, depending on their maximum speed, and requires riders to have the necessary vehicle registration and license to operate them. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Regulating those faster devices was a top legislative priority for Streets for All, a California transportation and land use advocacy organization, said Mark Vukcevich, the group’s director of state policy.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12051115\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A young person rides an e-bike through Mill Valley on July 24, 2025. (Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“While legal e-bikes themselves may not be perfect, the thing we know we need to address are these illegal devices that are making e-bikes and e-bike riders look really bad,” Vukcevich said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>A December 2025 \u003ca href=\"https://transweb.sjsu.edu/sites/default/files/2423-Agrawal-Electric-Bicycle-Safety-Data-Policy.pdf\">report \u003c/a>by San José State University’s Mineta Transportation Institute found it was highly likely that many injury crashes thought to involve e-bikes actually involve e-motorcycles and e-mopeds. The report also found that data on specifically which kinds of bikes are involved in crashes is commonly incomplete, making data-based policymaking more difficult. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas), SB 1167’s author, said the legislation “ensures that consumers know if they are buying an e-bike or something else that goes much faster and carries greater risk.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2027, requires manufacturers, importers and sellers of devices faster than e-bikes to provide a disclosure informing consumers that the device is in fact, considered a motor vehicle in California. It also beefs up reporting requirements on specifically what types of devices are involved in a crash. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>E-bikes in California are regulated as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070694/these-bay-area-researchers-say-the-e-bike-problem-may-be-an-e-moto-problem\">Class I, Class II or Class III devices\u003c/a>, depending on the maximum speed a motor provides assistance and how the motor assists the rider. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The devices are an increasingly popular way for Californians to navigate a variety of environments, from suburban sprawl to dense urban cores. E-bike sales accounted for 7% of the U.S. bike market — or nearly a million sales — in 2024, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.peopleforbikes.org/news/e-bike-market-bigger-than-numbers-show\">People for Bikes\u003c/a>, the trade organization for the U.S. bicycle industry. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But the rise in popularity in California has also brought a jump in serious crashes, especially involving youth.

(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Another e-bike bill signed by Newsom allows municipalities in San Mateo County to prohibit children under 12 from riding a class I or II e-bike, which have a maximum assisted speed of 20 mph, until Jan. 1, 2031. The bill mirrors similar pilot programs previously approved by the Legislature in Marin and San Diego county, which also set minimum age requirements for certain classes of e-bikes. State law already prohibits children under 16 from riding a class III e-bike.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The bill gives each local authority in San Mateo County the option to enact the pilot in its jurisdiction. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Foster City councilmember Stacy Jimenez said she was looking forward to “bringing this tool to Foster City.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“Success doesn’t mean fewer kids riding bikes — it means more kids riding, and riding safely, and AB 2595 will help cities and our county do that,” Jimenez said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Marin has reported a \u003ca href=\"https://www.marincounty.gov/news-releases/e-bike-safety-remains-forefront-marin\">reduction\u003c/a> in youth e-bike crashes since enacting its pilot, which bans children under 16 from riding class II e-bikes. But the county says the e-bike accident rate for children aged 10-15 remains nearly four times higher than other age groups. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Noelia Corzo, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said there were “valid concerns in terms of public health and street safety,” but she wouldn’t support enacting the pilot in the county’s unincorporated areas. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Corzo said she thought the right solutions were to invest more in safe street infrastructure to help prevent collisions with cars and other vehicles. She also expressed concern about how the law would be enforced. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“How is a police officer going to know if someone is younger than 12?” she said. “The only way is to stop children and ask them, and that’s not an action I feel comfortable with taking place en masse.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The pilot would authorize police officers to issue a fine of $25 dollars to any underage riders 60 days after the law comes into effect. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Newsom also signed AB 2346, from state Assemblymembers Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) and Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), which requires Class II e-bikes sold after Jan. 1, 2029 to be equipped with a speedometer. The bill also sets a 10 mph speed limit for sidewalk riding. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In a statement, Dr. René Bravo, president of the California Medical Association, thanked Berman and Wilson for “listening to the physicians and other experts who have raised these concerns and putting evidence-based safety measures into law to make e-bikes safer for young riders, pedestrians and everyone on the road.”\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom signed three laws Wednesday aimed at addressing some of the most pressing \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12050242/marin-moves-forward-with-ban-on-some-e-bikes-for-youth-as-research-into-safety-continues\">safety concerns\u003c/a> surrounding e-bikes, as the devices’ popularity continues to rise in California.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>SB 1167 prohibits any electric device capable of traveling faster than 20 mph with a throttle or 28 mph with a pedal assist — California’s existing speed limits for e-bikes — from being sold or advertised as an e-bike. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The new law groups those devices into the “moped” or “motor-driven cycle” category in the state’s vehicle code, depending on their maximum speed, and requires riders to have the necessary vehicle registration and license to operate them. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Regulating those faster devices was a top legislative priority for Streets for All, a California transportation and land use advocacy organization, said Mark Vukcevich, the group’s director of state policy.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12051115\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/250724-MARIN-EBIKES-MD-01-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A young person rides an e-bike through Mill Valley on July 24, 2025. (Martin do Nascimento/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“While legal e-bikes themselves may not be perfect, the thing we know we need to address are these illegal devices that are making e-bikes and e-bike riders look really bad,” Vukcevich said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>A December 2025 \u003ca href=\"https://transweb.sjsu.edu/sites/default/files/2423-Agrawal-Electric-Bicycle-Safety-Data-Policy.pdf\">report \u003c/a>by San José State University’s Mineta Transportation Institute found it was highly likely that many injury crashes thought to involve e-bikes actually involve e-motorcycles and e-mopeds. The report also found that data on specifically which kinds of bikes are involved in crashes is commonly incomplete, making data-based policymaking more difficult. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>State Sen. Catherine Blakespear (D-Encinitas), SB 1167’s author, said the legislation “ensures that consumers know if they are buying an e-bike or something else that goes much faster and carries greater risk.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2027, requires manufacturers, importers and sellers of devices faster than e-bikes to provide a disclosure informing consumers that the device is in fact, considered a motor vehicle in California. It also beefs up reporting requirements on specifically what types of devices are involved in a crash. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>E-bikes in California are regulated as \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12070694/these-bay-area-researchers-say-the-e-bike-problem-may-be-an-e-moto-problem\">Class I, Class II or Class III devices\u003c/a>, depending on the maximum speed a motor provides assistance and how the motor assists the rider. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The devices are an increasingly popular way for Californians to navigate a variety of environments, from suburban sprawl to dense urban cores. E-bike sales accounted for 7% of the U.S. bike market — or nearly a million sales — in 2024, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.peopleforbikes.org/news/e-bike-market-bigger-than-numbers-show\">People for Bikes\u003c/a>, the trade organization for the U.S. bicycle industry. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But the rise in popularity in California has also brought a jump in serious crashes, especially involving youth. A July \u003ca href=\"https://today.ucsd.edu/story/uc-san-diego-study-finds-an-exponential-increase-in-e-bike-injuries-in-california\">study\u003c/a> from UC San Diego found that California recorded just two e-bike injuries in 2018, a number that jumped to just over 1,500 in 2024. The study found that e-bike riders with moderate to severe injuries were more likely to be children ages 14 and younger. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In enacting legislation, lawmakers and advocates have tried to walk a tightrope between promoting e-bikes, an active transportation mode that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and traffic, while responding to health risks. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12036523\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/04/240823-ValenciaTelegraphBikeLanes-33-BL_qed-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A bicyclist rides on the Valencia Street center running bike lane in San Francisco’s Mission District on Aug. 23, 2024. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Another e-bike bill signed by Newsom allows municipalities in San Mateo County to prohibit children under 12 from riding a class I or II e-bike, which have a maximum assisted speed of 20 mph, until Jan. 1, 2031. The bill mirrors similar pilot programs previously approved by the Legislature in Marin and San Diego county, which also set minimum age requirements for certain classes of e-bikes. State law already prohibits children under 16 from riding a class III e-bike.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The bill gives each local authority in San Mateo County the option to enact the pilot in its jurisdiction. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Foster City councilmember Stacy Jimenez said she was looking forward to “bringing this tool to Foster City.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“Success doesn’t mean fewer kids riding bikes — it means more kids riding, and riding safely, and AB 2595 will help cities and our county do that,” Jimenez said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Marin has reported a \u003ca href=\"https://www.marincounty.gov/news-releases/e-bike-safety-remains-forefront-marin\">reduction\u003c/a> in youth e-bike crashes since enacting its pilot, which bans children under 16 from riding class II e-bikes. But the county says the e-bike accident rate for children aged 10-15 remains nearly four times higher than other age groups. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Noelia Corzo, president of the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors, said there were “valid concerns in terms of public health and street safety,” but she wouldn’t support enacting the pilot in the county’s unincorporated areas. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Corzo said she thought the right solutions were to invest more in safe street infrastructure to help prevent collisions with cars and other vehicles. She also expressed concern about how the law would be enforced. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“How is a police officer going to know if someone is younger than 12?” she said. “The only way is to stop children and ask them, and that’s not an action I feel comfortable with taking place en masse.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The pilot would authorize police officers to issue a fine of $25 dollars to any underage riders 60 days after the law comes into effect. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Newsom also signed AB 2346, from state Assemblymembers Lori Wilson (D-Suisun City) and Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), which requires Class II e-bikes sold after Jan. 1, 2029 to be equipped with a speedometer.

Regulars might come two or three times a week to get their fix of butter-miso salmon, avocado toast or any of a half-dozen \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/japanese-food\">Japanese\u003c/a>-inflected grain bowls.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In other words: It’s a lovely everyday restaurant. But not exactly someplace you’d think to go for a special celebration.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>When I visited Plenty on a Sunday afternoon in August, however, I experienced the most elegant multi-course Japanese meal I’d eaten in many months. The airiest tempura, made with seasonal farmers market vegetables. Pristine sashimi. A tuna’s head picked clean and gelatinized to form the most amazing maguro “head cheese.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Dish after artfully plated dish came out, all served in a casual, intimate setting. Every other table, except one, was empty the whole time we were there. It felt like we were dining in a friend’s living room — if said friend’s bar happened to be stocked with a killer sake and shochu collection.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead view of a tempura rice bowl, artfully drizzled with thick soy sauce.\" class=\"wp-image-13994424\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chef Asuka Uchida’s take on ten-don, or a tempura rice bowl. (Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>As it turns out, this special prix-fixe lunch pop-up, known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/plentyplusoakland/\">Plenty Plus\u003c/a> (or Plenty+), takes over the restaurant just one Saturday and Sunday each month. It comes courtesy of chef Asuka Uchida, whose cooking I’ve gone out of my way to seek since her days at B-Dama, where she made the most comforting pork belly and mizuna hot pot. Later, at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/fish-and-bird-izakaya-closing-22264629.php\">recently closed\u003c/a> Fish & Bird Izakaya, her gravy-drenched hamburg steak was my single favorite pandemic-era heat-and-eat dish. Over the past decade, she’s quietly made a name for herself as one of the Bay Area’s most respected Japanese chefs.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Uchida and Plenty owner and co-chef Jack Lin came up with the idea for Plenty+ in 2025, after Uchida had already been working at Plenty for a couple of years. She’d taken the job after suffering a knee injury at Fish & Bird, and the more casual cafe gig offered some respite from the 13-hour shifts she used to work. Lin, who describes himself as Uchida’s “biggest fan,” says the food on Plenty’s day-to-day menu became much more refined as soon as she came on board. But he also felt like it was a waste for such a skilled chef to spend her days \u003cem>only\u003c/em> cooking katsu bowls and fried chicken sandwiches. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I wanted to showcase her talents,” Lin says.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>So, the two began to plan occasional pop-ups on weekends, when the restaurant is normally closed. Lin gave Uchida full creative control over the more upscale prix-fixe meals (currently priced at $80 a person). She builds each month’s menu out of seafood that’s in season at Tokyo’s \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyosu_Market\">Toyosu Market\u003c/a> and whatever produce catches her eye at the Old Oakland farmers market. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I never make the same dish twice,” Uchida says. “It’s my feeling every time.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of dark miso soup loaded with assorted green vegetables.\" class=\"wp-image-13994425\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The soup base was dark, savory Hatcho miso and a dashi made with both bonito and dried flying fish shavings.

Instead of your standard shrimp or sweet potato tempura, the bowl was built around interesting seasonal vegetables: beef and pea shoots, sweet manganji peppers stuffed with Gulf shrimp, and pork tenderloin wrapped around a stack of green beans and eggplant. We marveled at the deep-frying precision that allowed us to bite cleanly through each crisp bundle of meat and vegetables. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of the cross section of beef-wrapped pea shoot tempura.\" class=\"wp-image-13994426\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The tempura was a showcase for Uchida’s deep-frying skills.

But even as Uchida works within those same basic frameworks, the cooking at Plenty+ feels more modern and idiosyncratic, like what you’d find at a little unmarked izakaya you might stumble upon in some alleyway in Japan.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>On Plenty+ days, Lin plays the part of “server and glorified dishwasher,” as he puts it. But the service, too, is part of what makes the meal feel so special and intimate. Lin says they intentionally stagger their \u003ca href=\"https://plentyoakland.wixsite.com/website/reservations\">reservations\u003c/a> so there are no more than a couple of tables at a time. Every time he dropped off a dish for us, he’d spend several minutes offering detailed commentary about the provenance of the ingredients (e.g., the young ginger you can only procure at the farmers market at 5 a.m.) and the specific precepts of cooking wizardry deployed. “Take the shiso leaf and slap it in your hand before adding it to the cocktail,” he instructed us at one point. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-dessert.jpg\" alt=\"Two small jars of bright purple shaved ice.\" class=\"wp-image-13994427\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-dessert.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-dessert-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-dessert-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-dessert-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Dessert was Kyoho grape granita served over lemon-thyme sponge cake.

Lin says they’re able to keep the price relatively low because he and Uchida are the only ones who work the pop-ups. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>As soon as one month’s edition is over, Uchida immediately starts planning for the next.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>For Oct. 10–11, Uchida is serving her version of another comfort food classic: stuffed cabbage rolls served in a clear broth. The rest of the menu is a work in progress, but Lin says they’re trying to source hatahata (sandfish) and sanma (Pacific saury) from Japan to make karaage and sashimi, respectively. Dessert is chestnut cake with roasted apple ice cream.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“But as far as how it all gets plated,” Lin says, “it’s always a surprise.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003chr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"/>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://plentyoakland.wixsite.com/website/plenty-plus\">\u003cem>Plenty+\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> takes place roughly one weekend a month, Saturday and Sunday from noon to 6 p.m., at Plenty (1825 San Pablo Ave., Oakland).

Regulars might come two or three times a week to get their fix of butter-miso salmon, avocado toast or any of a half-dozen \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/tag/japanese-food\">Japanese\u003c/a>-inflected grain bowls.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In other words: It’s a lovely everyday restaurant. But not exactly someplace you’d think to go for a special celebration.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>When I visited Plenty on a Sunday afternoon in August, however, I experienced the most elegant multi-course Japanese meal I’d eaten in many months. The airiest tempura, made with seasonal farmers market vegetables. Pristine sashimi. A tuna’s head picked clean and gelatinized to form the most amazing maguro “head cheese.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Dish after artfully plated dish came out, all served in a casual, intimate setting. Every other table, except one, was empty the whole time we were there. It felt like we were dining in a friend’s living room — if said friend’s bar happened to be stocked with a killer sake and shochu collection.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura.jpg\" alt=\"Overhead view of a tempura rice bowl, artfully drizzled with thick soy sauce.\" class=\"wp-image-13994424\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-tempura-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Chef Asuka Uchida’s take on ten-don, or a tempura rice bowl. (Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>As it turns out, this special prix-fixe lunch pop-up, known as \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/plentyplusoakland/\">Plenty Plus\u003c/a> (or Plenty+), takes over the restaurant just one Saturday and Sunday each month. It comes courtesy of chef Asuka Uchida, whose cooking I’ve gone out of my way to seek since her days at B-Dama, where she made the most comforting pork belly and mizuna hot pot. Later, at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/fish-and-bird-izakaya-closing-22264629.php\">recently closed\u003c/a> Fish & Bird Izakaya, her gravy-drenched hamburg steak was my single favorite pandemic-era heat-and-eat dish. Over the past decade, she’s quietly made a name for herself as one of the Bay Area’s most respected Japanese chefs.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Uchida and Plenty owner and co-chef Jack Lin came up with the idea for Plenty+ in 2025, after Uchida had already been working at Plenty for a couple of years. She’d taken the job after suffering a knee injury at Fish & Bird, and the more casual cafe gig offered some respite from the 13-hour shifts she used to work. Lin, who describes himself as Uchida’s “biggest fan,” says the food on Plenty’s day-to-day menu became much more refined as soon as she came on board. But he also felt like it was a waste for such a skilled chef to spend her days \u003cem>only\u003c/em> cooking katsu bowls and fried chicken sandwiches. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I wanted to showcase her talents,” Lin says.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>So, the two began to plan occasional pop-ups on weekends, when the restaurant is normally closed. Lin gave Uchida full creative control over the more upscale prix-fixe meals (currently priced at $80 a person). She builds each month’s menu out of seafood that’s in season at Tokyo’s \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyosu_Market\">Toyosu Market\u003c/a> and whatever produce catches her eye at the Old Oakland farmers market. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I never make the same dish twice,” Uchida says. “It’s my feeling every time.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of dark miso soup loaded with assorted green vegetables.\" class=\"wp-image-13994425\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-miso-soup-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The soup base was dark, savory Hatcho miso and a dashi made with both bonito and dried flying fish shavings. (Luke Tsai/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>During my lunch visit, the meal started with a trio of cold dishes. There was toothsome \u003ca href=\"https://tsurizukan.com/en/fish/isaki/\">Isaki\u003c/a> (chicken grunt) sashimi topped with sweet cherry tomatoes and a slurry of numbing sansho pepper. There was an extra-jiggly version of chawanmushi crowned with sweet, peak-season Hokkaido uni. My favorite was the aforementioned head cheese — a thunder blast of earthy umami with squishy, pleasingly gelatinous bits from the fish’s eyes.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Every dish had some element of surprise and delight. The second course was probably the most texturally interesting bowl of miso soup I’ve ever eaten, loaded with spongy taro stems, a super-slippery variety of seaweed and the wispy tendrils of a kabocha squash plant. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>For the entree, Uchida served her take on a tempura rice bowl, or ten-don. Instead of your standard shrimp or sweet potato tempura, the bowl was built around interesting seasonal vegetables: beef and pea shoots, sweet manganji peppers stuffed with Gulf shrimp, and pork tenderloin wrapped around a stack of green beans and eggplant. We marveled at the deep-frying precision that allowed us to bite cleanly through each crisp bundle of meat and vegetables. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura.jpg\" alt=\"Close-up of the cross section of beef-wrapped pea shoot tempura.\" class=\"wp-image-13994426\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/10/plenty-plus-beef-and-pea-shoot-tempura-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The tempura was a showcase for Uchida’s deep-frying skills.

You were abandoned as an infant in rural South Korea. How do you think that beginning shows up in the way that you love today or, potentially, the way you fight?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I’ve heard and read articles on how pivotal that first year is for a baby. I can only surmise that my classic abandonment wounds were rooted in being separated from my birth mother and then again being separated from my foster mother, which, based on the paperwork, I had grown quite attached to. So how I experience abandonment wounds as an adult is that I’m quick to perceive the potential of it at every turn. I like to call it a lens at how I looked at people, myself, love, relationships and attachment through. It kind of ran my life.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Meaning that you would pull back in fear that you will be abandoned?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Yes. So any sort of tension, friction. “Oh, I hurt your feelings. That means that you may reject me at some point. I’ll just leave you before you leave me,” was a common outcome. Not really showing up authentically in a vulnerable way because that would be too scary. What if they hurt my feelings? It was a very arms-length way of relating to people.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>But I imagine the way we fight is also potentially shaped by the person across from you. I know for me, I’ve gotten very different feedback based on who I’m fighting with. I had one partner who told me that I had an anger management problem because I didn’t show enough emotion. I had another partner who told me that I go completely nuclear. I don’t think I go completely nuclear or that I repress, but probably the truth is somewhere in between those. So, the other person does play a role in terms of how the fight plays out as well, correct?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Yes. What we get in childhood and the family of origin is a seeding, a foundation. We get our values modeled for us — how to react, how to communicate, how to love and be loved. That sets us up for going into adulthood and having our philosophy of love and attachment either reinforced or opposed. So when you talk about how you got different feedback from different people, getting back to that lens, one person who’s perhaps hyper-vigilant might think, “Are they upset? Well, I saw you furrow your eyebrows, and your jaw is tense; why aren’t you expressing?” They may have grown up in an environment where they had to be hyper-vigilant and look out for potential danger. And the other person may have grown up in an environment where it was very calm and regulated on the outside, but then you being very expressive could have been very overwhelming for them because they weren’t used to it. So again, we all bring a lens to how we view other people and ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>So you’re saying these old roots are potentially going to play out in how we’re arguing over the dishes or our parenting style, or they’re going to come out in these fights that we have every day. But help me make the leap from these roots from when we were very young to the fights that we’re having on a daily basis with our partners. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I love that you use the dishes as an example. It’s such a common fight. I had one couple in particular where he took a picture of how the dishwasher should be loaded according to his wife and pasted it on the fridge because it was such a repeated argument. Now, while I love the dedication to solutions, if we look at what her core wound was, it was, “You never listen to me. My feelings don’t matter. When I tell you it’s really important to me that the dishwasher gets loaded in this way and here’s the reasoning behind it and you just discard it and you do your own thing, I feel invisible.” That could be traced back to a childhood where she wasn’t given emotional attunement. If she was upset, no one tuned in. If she was expressive, she was criticized and stomped down. So that perception of, “This is how people treat me, this is people see me,” is being reinforced by her husband not paying attention to her and listening.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>How do you know that? How can she know that her core wound is that no one’s listening to me? She may not have that awareness.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I love pattern recognition. I spent over 20 years in IT engineering, and I love a very structured, systematic approach. It’s possible to look at our personal experiences and conflict with a systematic lens. So when she looks at her life, I would argue for anyone who’s having similar experiences of, “I feel like no one listens to me. I feel I’m always invisible. Everyone’s feelings always trump mine. People always take up the emotional air in the room, but there’s no room for me,” you can probably trace that back to different scenarios, not just your spouse, it could be a coworker, family member, best friend, group situations. But if you notice that there’s a similar pattern being played out, now you’ve got something to work with. OK, yes, my spouse is annoying when they don’t load the dishwasher properly, but there could be something in me. Now we’re getting into the lens. There could be a wound that was created many years ago that I’m not accounting for. That knowledge and awareness is half the battle. Once I can see that my abandonment wound is creating this distance, that I’m not inherently a distant and cold-hearted and unfeeling person like I was accused of in my 20s and 30s, and it’s actually me being protective, now I can have more compassion for myself. Now I can sit with myself for where I’m at. Now I can start to take a look at different behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>You hear couples all the time say, “We just need to learn how to communicate better.” You can, I assume, learn how to communicate better, but if you don’t know these core underlying roots, maybe nothing will change, even if your language gets better.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>People generally exist at a very global level of, “We need better communication. I want to feel closer to you. I want to be a bigger priority to you.” It’s a good start, but it’s not helpful to a person as far as what that looks like. You can say I want better communication and to you that means when we’re fighting you don’t storm out, you don’t start telling me that, “Oh, here are your mother issues coming out again, ”you don’t tell me to go to therapy whenever we argue. I may say, better communication to me is let’s take a 15-minute break so I can figure out how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking, and then let’s come back together. So when you say better communication, it’s really important to ask yourself, what does that look like?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say that you’re getting into it. A fight is beginning to kick off. You know your core wounds, you’ve navigated that, and you’re understanding your inner psychology so you know what could come up. But you know you’re right, and you want to prove your point. What do you do then? How do I slow down enough? What is your advice to someone at the beginning of a fight? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>It’s important to recognize the neurobiology of a trigger, and to know that if you’re in the heat of the moment and you hear yourself yelling and you’re not normally a very expressive person, or you’re calling your partner names, or just going to the place where, if you’ve been with your partner long enough, everyone knows the place, the button to push that will send your partner from zero to 60 in two seconds. And when we feel cornered, we will push that button. Things happen in the heat of the moment where we show our messy true selves. But if we understand that in the heat of the moment, my prefrontal cortex has gone offline and I’m in fight-or-flight, or freeze or fawn. I can lower my expectations and go to basic de-escalation skills. “Hey, I think we’re getting a little heated. Maybe we should take a break. Hey, I think that we just went to a really ugly place. Let’s take five minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Is there language that might land better when you’re taking that break? Because I imagine that some people would feel abandoned. What is the right language to say? And then when you do take that break, what should you do in that five minutes? How should you try to re-regulate yourself?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Communication on the front end of the break is everything. I find that there is a dynamic that plays out in most couples. During high conflict, one person needs space to regulate because they feel flooded, they actually have difficulty talking, and they need that space to regulate. The other person needs engagement to feel safe, to feel connected, to feel OK. Taking space, to that person who needs more engagement, they’re going to be triggered into feelings of abandonment and rejection. What you can do on the front end is say, “I feel flooded; this is overwhelming. I just need 10 minutes, 15 minutes. I want to talk about this. I know this is important. I will come back to this.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>What should you do during that time so you come back in a different place?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>This is good old somatic exercises like box breathing, which is slow breaths in, hold it, slow breaths out, hold it, doing that repeatedly. It is bilateral stimulation, like walking, rubbing your arms in a soothing manner. It could be grounding techniques, splashing cold water on your face, shaking the body to shake some of that energy out. It could be progressive muscle relaxation techniques where you tense one area of the body, relax it, tense another area of body, relax it. All of these somatic exercises, the reason people give up on them is they think, OK, I tried this breathing thing, and I was still pissed off. It just didn’t help. The exercises are not meant to make you feel peaceful and zen. It’s to address what’s happening viscerally in the body and to help your nervous system regulate just a bit, just to take the edge off. There are also counting exercises you can do. I want to count all the brown things in the room. I want to count things I can see. I want to count things I hear.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say you’ve gone around the block, you’ve rubbed your arms, you’re feeling more relaxed, you’ve taken a deep breath. How should you then, as you say, fight clean once you come back into the room?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>This is where the flow chart can come in handy. The first step is to ask, “Is now a good time?” A lot of times, people will unload on their partner when the feeling is the strongest, and that may not be such a great time. They could have just come out of a big work meeting or work day. They may have just put the kids to sleep and are just tired and wasted. If it’s not a good time, say, “OK, I can respect that. What would be a good time? I think we really do need to still talk about it.” “OK, how about in three hours? How about tomorrow morning? We generally do better in the mornings.” Then once you establish the good time to talk, it’s coming in with a controlled opening. I love the Gottmans’ research, John and Julie Gottman. They are big in the couple’s space. A lot of their research still holds true today where in the first three minutes of a conversation, how you open it, how you come in and address the topic, over 60% of the time, it will determine whether you have a chance at a positive outcome or not.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say both parties are feeling heard, OK, I’ve got you, you’ve got me, we’re getting each other here. What does a good solution look like? What separates a meaningful agreement or solution from, “OK, fine, I’ll just try harder next time.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>When it comes to solutions, you have to know what you need. I can’t tell you how many times I will ask a person, “What do you need in this situation? Put it up on a silver platter. What do you want? What do you need?” Often, people will look at me and say, “I don’t know, actually. I just know I’m upset.” And so, being able to put the ball back in that person’s court and ask yourself if there’s anything they could say or do that would help. What is proof that you feel understood? What would be proof that you’re a priority? Start working around that. I like putting proof on the person who’s bringing up the complaint. What would be proof that it’s happening? We’re getting into accountability and identifying needs, which is very important.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>What I’m hearing as a thread through all of this, the ultimate goal doesn’t seem to be to stop fighting, but to slow down as we’re moving through the fight, to be able to identify this core wound, to able to stop and take stock and maybe take a walk to come back in to hear the other person’s perspective and to slow down the escalation. At the end of the day, if you’re able to do all that slowing down, will you fight less? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I hope not. I’m very suspicious of couples who do not fight. When you have two people who, just by just proximity alone, you’re around a person so much, what are the chances you’re not going to have a bad day or have a different opinion or that they’re going to poke at some wound from long ago? Just by the amount of time you spend with someone, they are going to upset you. And if there’s no fighting, that tells me that someone is probably suppressing their feelings. Now that sounds noble, but given enough time, that suppression will turn into resentment, and that will take a relationship down. Learning to express needs and learning to protest when I lived a life of just being submissive and pleasing people and not taking up any air in the room, it’s still to this day very uncomfortable for me to express needs and be needy and fight for what I need and be an advocate for myself. But I push through it because I know that it will lead to a better place. That’s the only way that I can get closer to other people is to show them the actual real me and what I’m needing and what upsets me.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>But there are, I imagine, some conflicts that are unresolvable. How do you know when a conflict is unresolvable?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Generally, when we’re talking about unresolvable conflicts, we’re talking about a difference in values, things that are important. Things like, are we having kids or not? Things like you belittle me, you call me names. This is actually emotionally or verbally abusive. Values of how you spend your time. These are lifestyle changes. So when it comes to incompatibility, have you brought up the concern? Have you brought the issue? If they don’t agree that that’s an issue, they will do nothing to change it. So these are the kind of questions that people have unresolved fight after unresolved fight. You might have to break up. There’s no shame in acknowledging that we are not a good match at a values level.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>If there’s one thing you want to leave listeners with to do tomorrow in the relationship to make fighting or conflict easier, what is it? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>There’s a deep value in getting triggered. It holds so much information about the times that you get the most upset. Instead of spending so much time trying not to get upset and telling yourself, “Why am I such an angry person? Why am I an anxious person?” Instead, focus more on getting curious. Why did I get so triggered? Why did I have such a disproportionate response to that situation? This is confusing to me. It’s an opportunity to really go deep on what still is driving that lens. The biggest thing that I can leave with people is: what kind of person do you want to be? If you want to shift out of a certain behavior or a certain way that you’re showing up in the world, get curious first versus judgmental. There’s a lot of information into why you get upset. I would argue that there’s probably a really good reason why you get so upset. There are really good reasons why you have that specific need. If you can come with more compassionate curiosity to that issue, it will create a better environment for you to then shift into something different.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Stay curious, folks.

It’s often easier to step around tricky conversations and chase some peace. But according to relationship coach Kim Polinder, avoiding conflict does not make a relationship safer.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I’m very suspicious of couples who do not fight,” Polinder says. “And if there’s no fighting, that tells me that someone is probably suppressing their feelings. Now, that sounds noble, but given enough time, that suppression will turn into resentment, and that will take a relationship down.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>We talk to Polinder about how to get to the root of the conflicts that never seem to go away, how to recognize the neurobiology of a trigger and, once you’re in the thick of an argument, how to fight with grace.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Guest:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder,\u003c/strong> relationship coach; author, \u003cem>Why We Fight: A Transformative Road Map to Healing Conflict in Any Relationship.\u003c/em>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>You trace your own relationship to conflict all the way back to the very beginning of your life. You were abandoned as an infant in rural South Korea. How do you think that beginning shows up in the way that you love today or, potentially, the way you fight?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I’ve heard and read articles on how pivotal that first year is for a baby. I can only surmise that my classic abandonment wounds were rooted in being separated from my birth mother and then again being separated from my foster mother, which, based on the paperwork, I had grown quite attached to. So how I experience abandonment wounds as an adult is that I’m quick to perceive the potential of it at every turn. I like to call it a lens at how I looked at people, myself, love, relationships and attachment through. It kind of ran my life.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Meaning that you would pull back in fear that you will be abandoned?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Yes. So any sort of tension, friction. “Oh, I hurt your feelings. That means that you may reject me at some point. I’ll just leave you before you leave me,” was a common outcome. Not really showing up authentically in a vulnerable way because that would be too scary. What if they hurt my feelings? It was a very arms-length way of relating to people.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>But I imagine the way we fight is also potentially shaped by the person across from you. I know for me, I’ve gotten very different feedback based on who I’m fighting with. I had one partner who told me that I had an anger management problem because I didn’t show enough emotion. I had another partner who told me that I go completely nuclear. I don’t think I go completely nuclear or that I repress, but probably the truth is somewhere in between those. So, the other person does play a role in terms of how the fight plays out as well, correct?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Yes. What we get in childhood and the family of origin is a seeding, a foundation. We get our values modeled for us — how to react, how to communicate, how to love and be loved. That sets us up for going into adulthood and having our philosophy of love and attachment either reinforced or opposed. So when you talk about how you got different feedback from different people, getting back to that lens, one person who’s perhaps hyper-vigilant might think, “Are they upset? Well, I saw you furrow your eyebrows, and your jaw is tense; why aren’t you expressing?” They may have grown up in an environment where they had to be hyper-vigilant and look out for potential danger. And the other person may have grown up in an environment where it was very calm and regulated on the outside, but then you being very expressive could have been very overwhelming for them because they weren’t used to it. So again, we all bring a lens to how we view other people and ourselves.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>So you’re saying these old roots are potentially going to play out in how we’re arguing over the dishes or our parenting style, or they’re going to come out in these fights that we have every day. But help me make the leap from these roots from when we were very young to the fights that we’re having on a daily basis with our partners. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I love that you use the dishes as an example. It’s such a common fight. I had one couple in particular where he took a picture of how the dishwasher should be loaded according to his wife and pasted it on the fridge because it was such a repeated argument. Now, while I love the dedication to solutions, if we look at what her core wound was, it was, “You never listen to me. My feelings don’t matter. When I tell you it’s really important to me that the dishwasher gets loaded in this way and here’s the reasoning behind it and you just discard it and you do your own thing, I feel invisible.” That could be traced back to a childhood where she wasn’t given emotional attunement. If she was upset, no one tuned in. If she was expressive, she was criticized and stomped down. So that perception of, “This is how people treat me, this is people see me,” is being reinforced by her husband not paying attention to her and listening.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>How do you know that? How can she know that her core wound is that no one’s listening to me? She may not have that awareness.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I love pattern recognition. I spent over 20 years in IT engineering, and I love a very structured, systematic approach. It’s possible to look at our personal experiences and conflict with a systematic lens. So when she looks at her life, I would argue for anyone who’s having similar experiences of, “I feel like no one listens to me. I feel I’m always invisible. Everyone’s feelings always trump mine. People always take up the emotional air in the room, but there’s no room for me,” you can probably trace that back to different scenarios, not just your spouse, it could be a coworker, family member, best friend, group situations. But if you notice that there’s a similar pattern being played out, now you’ve got something to work with. OK, yes, my spouse is annoying when they don’t load the dishwasher properly, but there could be something in me. Now we’re getting into the lens. There could be a wound that was created many years ago that I’m not accounting for. That knowledge and awareness is half the battle. Once I can see that my abandonment wound is creating this distance, that I’m not inherently a distant and cold-hearted and unfeeling person like I was accused of in my 20s and 30s, and it’s actually me being protective, now I can have more compassion for myself. Now I can sit with myself for where I’m at. Now I can start to take a look at different behaviors.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>You hear couples all the time say, “We just need to learn how to communicate better.” You can, I assume, learn how to communicate better, but if you don’t know these core underlying roots, maybe nothing will change, even if your language gets better.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>People generally exist at a very global level of, “We need better communication. I want to feel closer to you. I want to be a bigger priority to you.” It’s a good start, but it’s not helpful to a person as far as what that looks like. You can say I want better communication and to you that means when we’re fighting you don’t storm out, you don’t start telling me that, “Oh, here are your mother issues coming out again, ”you don’t tell me to go to therapy whenever we argue. I may say, better communication to me is let’s take a 15-minute break so I can figure out how I’m feeling, what I’m thinking, and then let’s come back together. So when you say better communication, it’s really important to ask yourself, what does that look like?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say that you’re getting into it. A fight is beginning to kick off. You know your core wounds, you’ve navigated that, and you’re understanding your inner psychology so you know what could come up. But you know you’re right, and you want to prove your point. What do you do then? How do I slow down enough? What is your advice to someone at the beginning of a fight? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>It’s important to recognize the neurobiology of a trigger, and to know that if you’re in the heat of the moment and you hear yourself yelling and you’re not normally a very expressive person, or you’re calling your partner names, or just going to the place where, if you’ve been with your partner long enough, everyone knows the place, the button to push that will send your partner from zero to 60 in two seconds. And when we feel cornered, we will push that button. Things happen in the heat of the moment where we show our messy true selves. But if we understand that in the heat of the moment, my prefrontal cortex has gone offline and I’m in fight-or-flight, or freeze or fawn. I can lower my expectations and go to basic de-escalation skills. “Hey, I think we’re getting a little heated. Maybe we should take a break. Hey, I think that we just went to a really ugly place. Let’s take five minutes.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Is there language that might land better when you’re taking that break? Because I imagine that some people would feel abandoned. What is the right language to say? And then when you do take that break, what should you do in that five minutes? How should you try to re-regulate yourself?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Communication on the front end of the break is everything. I find that there is a dynamic that plays out in most couples. During high conflict, one person needs space to regulate because they feel flooded, they actually have difficulty talking, and they need that space to regulate. The other person needs engagement to feel safe, to feel connected, to feel OK. Taking space, to that person who needs more engagement, they’re going to be triggered into feelings of abandonment and rejection. What you can do on the front end is say, “I feel flooded; this is overwhelming. I just need 10 minutes, 15 minutes. I want to talk about this. I know this is important. I will come back to this.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>What should you do during that time so you come back in a different place?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>This is good old somatic exercises like box breathing, which is slow breaths in, hold it, slow breaths out, hold it, doing that repeatedly. It is bilateral stimulation, like walking, rubbing your arms in a soothing manner. It could be grounding techniques, splashing cold water on your face, shaking the body to shake some of that energy out. It could be progressive muscle relaxation techniques where you tense one area of the body, relax it, tense another area of body, relax it. All of these somatic exercises, the reason people give up on them is they think, OK, I tried this breathing thing, and I was still pissed off. It just didn’t help. The exercises are not meant to make you feel peaceful and zen. It’s to address what’s happening viscerally in the body and to help your nervous system regulate just a bit, just to take the edge off. There are also counting exercises you can do. I want to count all the brown things in the room. I want to count things I can see. I want to count things I hear.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say you’ve gone around the block, you’ve rubbed your arms, you’re feeling more relaxed, you’ve taken a deep breath. How should you then, as you say, fight clean once you come back into the room?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>This is where the flow chart can come in handy. The first step is to ask, “Is now a good time?” A lot of times, people will unload on their partner when the feeling is the strongest, and that may not be such a great time. They could have just come out of a big work meeting or work day. They may have just put the kids to sleep and are just tired and wasted. If it’s not a good time, say, “OK, I can respect that. What would be a good time? I think we really do need to still talk about it.” “OK, how about in three hours? How about tomorrow morning? We generally do better in the mornings.” Then once you establish the good time to talk, it’s coming in with a controlled opening. I love the Gottmans’ research, John and Julie Gottman. They are big in the couple’s space. A lot of their research still holds true today where in the first three minutes of a conversation, how you open it, how you come in and address the topic, over 60% of the time, it will determine whether you have a chance at a positive outcome or not.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Let’s say both parties are feeling heard, OK, I’ve got you, you’ve got me, we’re getting each other here. What does a good solution look like? What separates a meaningful agreement or solution from, “OK, fine, I’ll just try harder next time.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>When it comes to solutions, you have to know what you need. I can’t tell you how many times I will ask a person, “What do you need in this situation? Put it up on a silver platter. What do you want? What do you need?” Often, people will look at me and say, “I don’t know, actually. I just know I’m upset.” And so, being able to put the ball back in that person’s court and ask yourself if there’s anything they could say or do that would help. What is proof that you feel understood? What would be proof that you’re a priority? Start working around that. I like putting proof on the person who’s bringing up the complaint. What would be proof that it’s happening? We’re getting into accountability and identifying needs, which is very important.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>What I’m hearing as a thread through all of this, the ultimate goal doesn’t seem to be to stop fighting, but to slow down as we’re moving through the fight, to be able to identify this core wound, to able to stop and take stock and maybe take a walk to come back in to hear the other person’s perspective and to slow down the escalation. At the end of the day, if you’re able to do all that slowing down, will you fight less? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>I hope not. I’m very suspicious of couples who do not fight. When you have two people who, just by just proximity alone, you’re around a person so much, what are the chances you’re not going to have a bad day or have a different opinion or that they’re going to poke at some wound from long ago? Just by the amount of time you spend with someone, they are going to upset you. And if there’s no fighting, that tells me that someone is probably suppressing their feelings. Now that sounds noble, but given enough time, that suppression will turn into resentment, and that will take a relationship down. Learning to express needs and learning to protest when I lived a life of just being submissive and pleasing people and not taking up any air in the room, it’s still to this day very uncomfortable for me to express needs and be needy and fight for what I need and be an advocate for myself. But I push through it because I know that it will lead to a better place. That’s the only way that I can get closer to other people is to show them the actual real me and what I’m needing and what upsets me.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>But there are, I imagine, some conflicts that are unresolvable. How do you know when a conflict is unresolvable?\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Generally, when we’re talking about unresolvable conflicts, we’re talking about a difference in values, things that are important. Things like, are we having kids or not? Things like you belittle me, you call me names. This is actually emotionally or verbally abusive. Values of how you spend your time. These are lifestyle changes. So when it comes to incompatibility, have you brought up the concern? Have you brought the issue? If they don’t agree that that’s an issue, they will do nothing to change it. So these are the kind of questions that people have unresolved fight after unresolved fight. You might have to break up. There’s no shame in acknowledging that we are not a good match at a values level.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>If there’s one thing you want to leave listeners with to do tomorrow in the relationship to make fighting or conflict easier, what is it? \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>There’s a deep value in getting triggered. It holds so much information about the times that you get the most upset. Instead of spending so much time trying not to get upset and telling yourself, “Why am I such an angry person? Why am I an anxious person?” Instead, focus more on getting curious. Why did I get so triggered? Why did I have such a disproportionate response to that situation? This is confusing to me. It’s an opportunity to really go deep on what still is driving that lens. The biggest thing that I can leave with people is: what kind of person do you want to be? If you want to shift out of a certain behavior or a certain way that you’re showing up in the world, get curious first versus judgmental. There’s a lot of information into why you get upset. I would argue that there’s probably a really good reason why you get so upset. There are really good reasons why you have that specific need. If you can come with more compassionate curiosity to that issue, it will create a better environment for you to then shift into something different.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Stay curious, folks. Thank you so much, Kim. Kim, that was a really lovely conversation. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kim Polinder: \u003c/strong>Thank you. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesley McClurg: \u003c/strong>Kim Polinder is a relationship coach and author of \u003cem>Why We Fight: A Transformative Road Map to Healing Conflict in Any Relationship.\u003c/em> Inside Love is a production of KQED.

Gavin Newsom signed a bevy of laws on Wednesday aimed at protecting California workers from the threats of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/category/technology\">artificial intelligence\u003c/a> in the workplace, guarding against automated job loss and surveillance.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The laws prohibit employers from using automated systems to fire or discipline employees — so-called “robo bosses” — as well as from monitoring employees in restrooms. They also restrict the use of AI to read workers’ emotions or collect their neural data.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The Democratic governor, who has hinted at a presidential run in 2028, also signed an executive order requiring state agencies to continue to refer to the technology as “artificial intelligence” — instead of “Super Intelligence,” the term President Donald Trump recently ordered federal officials to use.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“AI should expand opportunity — not come at the expense of workers and families,” Newsom said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2026/09/30/californias-nation-leading-ai-framework-just-got-stronger-governor-newsom-signs-more-first-in-the-nation-worker-protections-and-more/\">statement\u003c/a>. “As this technology reshapes the workplace, California is putting people at the center.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Labor unions sounded a triumphant note.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12030646\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/03/250310-TRUMP-SF-MD-06-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie speaks at the opening of the new OpenAI headquarters in Mission Bay in San Francisco on March 10, 2025.

And this is the one way that it can happen,” said state Sen.

The news comes months after another man publicly accused Yekutiel of groping him at a party in 2020. Yekutiel’s campaign appeared to weather the initial allegation, with many allies continuing to support him, but the new report has dropped a political bomb on the race for one of the city’s hotly contested open seats, with some prominent backers revoking their endorsements almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“My endorsement is a statement of my confidence in someone’s character and leadership, and in light of the additional accounts reported today I am withdrawing it,” Lurie said in a statement on Thursday, saying he would not be making another endorsement in the race. “Coming forward is hard and these survivors deserve to be heard, and treated with dignity and respect.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>KQED reached out to each of the supervisors who had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12090065/sexual-assault-allegations-against-manny-yekutiel-roil-san-francisco-democrats\">previously endorsed Yekutiel\u003c/a>, including Danny Sauter, Rafael Mandelman, Stephen Sherrill, Alan Wong, Bilal Mahmood and Matt Dorsey.

As an elected leader, I have a responsibility to hold my friends, colleagues and peers to a higher standard,” Mahmood said. “An endorsement is ultimately a statement of trust, and I can no longer in good conscience lend my support to this campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Sherrill said he was also revoking his endorsement for Yekutiel. Mandelman, Dorsey and Wong did not immediately respond to requests for comment. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“The allegations against Manny Yekutiel make it clear that he has repeatedly crossed boundaries and fully lost trust, including my own,” Sauter said in a post on Instagram. “This role gives power and requires care, temperament and respect. I do not believe Manny is able to take such responsibility. The voters and residents of this city deserve better.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>According to the \u003cem>Standard\u003c/em>, Yekutiel was at a queer dance party called Electroluxx at the Midway when he encountered Ryan Clark. Clark said that Yekutiel groped his genitals and buttocks through his pants, according to the \u003cem>Standard\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Clark told him to stop and that he was in a monogamous relationship with his partner, who was also at the event.

The news comes months after another man publicly accused Yekutiel of groping him at a party in 2020. Yekutiel’s campaign appeared to weather the initial allegation, with many allies continuing to support him, but the new report has dropped a political bomb on the race for one of the city’s hotly contested open seats, with some prominent backers revoking their endorsements almost immediately.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“My endorsement is a statement of my confidence in someone’s character and leadership, and in light of the additional accounts reported today I am withdrawing it,” Lurie said in a statement on Thursday, saying he would not be making another endorsement in the race. “Coming forward is hard and these survivors deserve to be heard, and treated with dignity and respect.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>KQED reached out to each of the supervisors who had \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12090065/sexual-assault-allegations-against-manny-yekutiel-roil-san-francisco-democrats\">previously endorsed Yekutiel\u003c/a>, including Danny Sauter, Rafael Mandelman, Stephen Sherrill, Alan Wong, Bilal Mahmood and Matt Dorsey. As of 11 a.m., at least three had rescinded their support.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1999\" height=\"1333\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/20260707_SFRally_GC-12_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12090127\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/20260707_SFRally_GC-12_qed.jpg 1999w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/20260707_SFRally_GC-12_qed-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/20260707_SFRally_GC-12_qed-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1999px) 100vw, 1999px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Supervisor Bilal Mahmood speaks during a rally for survivors of sexual assault and harassment at San Francisco City Hall in San Francisco on July 7, 2026. (Gina Castro for KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Yekutiel, who had been considered one of the frontrunners in the race, did not immediately respond Thursday to a request for comment. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“Too often, people in political power close ranks around their allies to protect them from being held accountable. As an elected leader, I have a responsibility to hold my friends, colleagues and peers to a higher standard,” Mahmood said. “An endorsement is ultimately a statement of trust, and I can no longer in good conscience lend my support to this campaign.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>A spokesperson for Sherrill said he was also revoking his endorsement for Yekutiel. Mandelman, Dorsey and Wong did not immediately respond to requests for comment. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“The allegations against Manny Yekutiel make it clear that he has repeatedly crossed boundaries and fully lost trust, including my own,” Sauter said in a post on Instagram. “This role gives power and requires care, temperament and respect. I do not believe Manny is able to take such responsibility. The voters and residents of this city deserve better.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>According to the \u003cem>Standard\u003c/em>, Yekutiel was at a queer dance party called Electroluxx at the Midway when he encountered Ryan Clark. Clark said that Yekutiel groped his genitals and buttocks through his pants, according to the \u003cem>Standard\u003c/em>. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Clark told him to stop and that he was in a monogamous relationship with his partner, who was also at the event. The account states that Yekutiel turned to the partner and put his hands down his pants and groped him. Clark said they asked Yekutiel to stop and that he didn’t until they physically pushed him away. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The description draws parallels to the accusations against Yekutiel made earlier this summer by Brad Chapin, who said that Yekutiel groped him at a house party in 2020. Yekutiel denied the allegations and said that Chapin’s story was “politically motivated.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>After Chapin’s account was made public, many of Yekutiel’s supporters brushed the early accusations off, maintaining their support for their chosen candidate. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Democratic Party went on to endorse Yekutiel for the race, and Lurie, who co-founded the Civic Joy Fund with Yekutiel, endorsed him after the allegations were made public. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But the additional people who came forward on Thursday tipped the scales for some elected officials who were previously backing Yekutiel. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>This week, before the new allegations surfaced, Yekutiel removed a page of endorsements on his campaign website that previously listed the majority of members of the Board of Supervisors and many prominent Democratic elected officials. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“In July, I said I would wait for the [San Francisco Democratic Party] process to run its course. That process failed to produce a final determination of what happened, and as a result, I abstained from the District 8 endorsement vote. Now new allegations have been reported by multiple people,” Mahmood said. “Survivors should never have to wonder whether your leaders will minimize harassment, assault, or abuse because the person you’re naming is well-connected.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/10/250105-LurieInaugurationCleanup-51-edited.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12102359\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/10/250105-LurieInaugurationCleanup-51-edited.jpg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/10/250105-LurieInaugurationCleanup-51-edited-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/10/250105-LurieInaugurationCleanup-51-edited-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" />\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Yekutiel is facing off against Gary McCoy, who previously worked for Rep.

We stand with survivors in our community and across the country. We refuse to allow someone who has repeatedly committed sexual assault ascend to a position of power in San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Other supervisors and the San Francisco Women’s Political Committee are also joining the call for Yekutiel to exit the race.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“All the allegations of sexual assault against Manny Yekutiel are appalling, and the conduct described is reprehensible.

(Finn Gomez/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Painter noted that his team was able to investigate only because OpenAI agreed to it. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“Companies have no obligation to bring us in,” he said, adding, “There isn’t any requirement that companies disclose things that they’re seeing inside of their AI labs.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Daniel Kokotajlo, a former OpenAI researcher who now leads the Berkeley-based AI Futures Project, was blunter. He told the committee he left OpenAI partly because he lost confidence the company would behave responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“If we vastly improve our practices and reform the way that we do things, including improving our cybersecurity, we might be able to maintain control of current systems — like today’s AIs,” Kokotajlo said, before adding that “the AIs are getting very powerful very quickly, and we are not currently on track to keep up as they dramatically improve.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Some of the Republican members of the subcommittee expressed concerns that putting the brakes on AI development in the U.S. might allow Chinese AI developers to leapfrog them in the race to build ever more sophisticated models. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I do think that the Communist Party of China is our adversary and that we are in a competition with them,” Kokotajlo said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But if companies keep handing their AIs more responsibility, including monitoring each other and doing safety research, he warned, “then we will have a new adversary that’s even \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025504/why-openai-says-chinas-deepseek-isnt-all-its-cracked-up-to-be\">more powerful than China\u003c/a>, and that would be the AIs themselves. “We don’t need to slow down everything,” he added, “but in particular, we need to slow down this mad scramble towards recursively self-improving AIs.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/eff-lawmakers-ground-ai-cybersecurity-rules-best-practices\">urged\u003c/a> lawmakers this month to require sandboxing and monitoring for risky AI testing, as well as independent, public investigations of serious security incidents. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“As with any technology regulation, those regulations targeting cybersecurity practices at AI labs must be careful, precise, and practical,” EFF’s Director of Federal Affairs India McKinney wrote KQED. “Also, any proposal must be flexible enough to evolve with changing technology. Tying any new mandates to evidence-backed security protocols also protects the public without impeding future AI development.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The hearing came one day after President Donald Trump and executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, Meta and SpaceXAI \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-trump-announces-accord-signed-by-top-ai-companies-to-self-police-development\">signed\u003c/a> a voluntary, nonbinding accord on AI safety. The companies pledged to put “robust” controls on their models, appoint internal teams to oversee those controls, work with independent outside auditors and meet regularly to set industry safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In Wednesday’s hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, dismissed the pledge as “totally secret.” If the companies’ own auditors find violations, he said, “there’s no requirement that it be disclosed to the public.” He then asked the panel whether anyone thought “a completely voluntary system with only ‘moral responsibility’ is going to be enough to deal with the dangers.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12092368\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862.jpg 1980w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hugging Face logo is seen displayed on a mobile phone screen with the AI revolution symbol in the background.

Jay Obernolte, R-Big Bear Lake, introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://franklin.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1923\">FRONTIER Act\u003c/a>, which would require audits, incident reporting and catastrophic risk assessments for the largest AI developers. Rep.

Both bills have cosponsors from both parties.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But in the hearing, Hawley was pessimistic about lawmakers writing detailed rules. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I don’t have any confidence, zero, less than zero, in Congress’s ability to keep up with the technology, let alone anticipate it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n",

Josh Hawley, R-Missouri, introducing the hearing. “Setting up \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12101186/its-not-illegal-for-california-police-to-misuse-flock-data-san-jose-leaders-want-to-change-that\">surveillance camera networks\u003c/a> nationwide, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101915506/how-data-center-backlash-is-reshaping-politics\">data centers\u003c/a> in all of our states, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11973657/ai-software-vulnerable-to-attacks-by-both-professional-and-amateur-hackers\">hacking, hacking, hacking\u003c/a>.

AI experts and former industry members spoke in front of the Senate Homeland Security Subcommittee as some have called for a slowdown in AI development amid rising safety concerns. (Finn Gomez/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Painter noted that his team was able to investigate only because OpenAI agreed to it. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“Companies have no obligation to bring us in,” he said, adding, “There isn’t any requirement that companies disclose things that they’re seeing inside of their AI labs.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Daniel Kokotajlo, a former OpenAI researcher who now leads the Berkeley-based AI Futures Project, was blunter. He told the committee he left OpenAI partly because he lost confidence the company would behave responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“If we vastly improve our practices and reform the way that we do things, including improving our cybersecurity, we might be able to maintain control of current systems — like today’s AIs,” Kokotajlo said, before adding that “the AIs are getting very powerful very quickly, and we are not currently on track to keep up as they dramatically improve.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>Some of the Republican members of the subcommittee expressed concerns that putting the brakes on AI development in the U.S. might allow Chinese AI developers to leapfrog them in the race to build ever more sophisticated models. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I do think that the Communist Party of China is our adversary and that we are in a competition with them,” Kokotajlo said. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But if companies keep handing their AIs more responsibility, including monitoring each other and doing safety research, he warned, “then we will have a new adversary that’s even \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12025504/why-openai-says-chinas-deepseek-isnt-all-its-cracked-up-to-be\">more powerful than China\u003c/a>, and that would be the AIs themselves. “We don’t need to slow down everything,” he added, “but in particular, we need to slow down this mad scramble towards recursively self-improving AIs.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The San Francisco-based Electronic Frontier Foundation \u003ca href=\"https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/09/eff-lawmakers-ground-ai-cybersecurity-rules-best-practices\">urged\u003c/a> lawmakers this month to require sandboxing and monitoring for risky AI testing, as well as independent, public investigations of serious security incidents. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“As with any technology regulation, those regulations targeting cybersecurity practices at AI labs must be careful, precise, and practical,” EFF’s Director of Federal Affairs India McKinney wrote KQED. “Also, any proposal must be flexible enough to evolve with changing technology. Tying any new mandates to evidence-backed security protocols also protects the public without impeding future AI development.”\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>The hearing came one day after President Donald Trump and executives from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Nvidia, Meta and SpaceXAI \u003ca href=\"https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/watch-trump-announces-accord-signed-by-top-ai-companies-to-self-police-development\">signed\u003c/a> a voluntary, nonbinding accord on AI safety. The companies pledged to put “robust” controls on their models, appoint internal teams to oversee those controls, work with independent outside auditors and meet regularly to set industry safety standards.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>In Wednesday’s hearing, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Connecticut, dismissed the pledge as “totally secret.” If the companies’ own auditors find violations, he said, “there’s no requirement that it be disclosed to the public.” He then asked the panel whether anyone thought “a completely voluntary system with only ‘moral responsibility’ is going to be enough to deal with the dangers.” \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cfigure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1980\" height=\"1320\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12092368\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862.jpg 1980w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/07/GettyImages-1849294862-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1980px) 100vw, 1980px\" />\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Hugging Face logo is seen displayed on a mobile phone screen with the AI revolution symbol in the background.

Jay Obernolte, R-Big Bear Lake, introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://franklin.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=1923\">FRONTIER Act\u003c/a>, which would require audits, incident reporting and catastrophic risk assessments for the largest AI developers. Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Torrance, introduced the \u003ca href=\"https://lieu.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/reps-lieu-and-moran-introduce-bill-require-kill-switch-ai-systems-can\">AI Kill Switch Act\u003c/a>, which would require developers of the most powerful AI systems to be able to shut them down, and would let the Homeland Security secretary order a shutdown. Both bills have cosponsors from both parties.\u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>But in the hearing, Hawley was pessimistic about lawmakers writing detailed rules. \u003c/p>\n\n\n\n\u003cp>“I don’t have any confidence, zero, less than zero, in Congress’s ability to keep up with the technology, let alone anticipate it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
