Comment on Betty Reid Soskin, once the nation’s oldest park ranger, has died at age 104 by Myth Dispulsion
In reply to Myth Dispulsion. Ms. Taylor, note I omitted the Women's Rights revolution earlier because I view the Civil Rights revolution as the broadest and most newsworthy, affecting all fundamentally. That doesn't deny the meaningfulness or results of the other.

It's indeed a world of change, developments, and progress that she has seen, so many kinds, so many ways, as still is true with our surviving greater elders, including the Civil Rights revolution, when she lived her life of so many adventures. Rest in peace, Ma'am.

Comment on Berkeley Hat Company on Telegraph Avenue to close after 50 years by Steve Lautze
I’ve always worn a hat of some kind every day, such that many people I meet have wondered if I had lost my hair, which I have not… And always said that a hat is a superior fashion article for a man than a necktie. Berkeley Hat was my “go to” hat spot since the 1980’s. They’d always write a handwritten receipt, which was coupled — but not replaced — by printed receipts… At Berkeley Hat, you knew you were in a family…

Comment on Berkeley Hat Company on Telegraph Avenue to close after 50 years by soozzie
I've been buying hats at the Berkeley Hat Company almost since it opened. When facing the prospect of chemo and the loss of my hair, I stopped by to find a knitted hat to keep my head warm. I was admiring some hats with decorations and interesting yarn. Carol quietly asked what I was shopping for, and steered me to a group of plain, soft caps, telling me that when I lost my hair my head would be tender and the softer yarns would be more comfortable. She was of course, absolutely right. It was a moment of grace for which I am still, years later, grateful. Thanks, Carol, and happy trails.

Comment on Many East Bay residents consider giving up health insurance with premiums set to skyrocket by Top O' the Pines
I'd like to understand more of the specifics as to how one's monthly medical insurance goes from $0 to $2500. Can someone who knows a bit more explain that to me? I'm also on a covered california plan and while it is set to go up, the projected increase is not too much.

Comment on Ink Stone has been UC Berkeley’s go-to place for art and architecture supplies for 50 years by akaPaulLafargue
Thank you for a story on a "Legacy Berkeley Business." Let's hope that the recent upzoning advocates in City Government realize that their Corridors Zoning Upgrade (aka UPzoning) will threaten the viability of both legacy and new businesses. See SaveBerkeleyShops.org for more info.

Comment on Berkeleyside is retiring comments on stories. Here’s why. by FlatlanderToo
In reply to Charles Siegel. Hidden (by downvotes) comments can still be viewed, you just have to click a link to reveal them. A combination of word filters, warnings, IP bans for pernicious trolls, and allowing users to self-police is how most sites that use Disqus handle comment sections so that they don’t take up an overwhelming amount of time.

Comment on Berkeleyside is retiring comments on stories. Here’s why. by Max
In reply to FlatlanderToo. @FlatlanderToo: But Berkeleyside wants to shape the opinion and wants to stirr the city in a specific direction not report on it. Comments that feature other opinions are not helpful that way. What boarders me about this is the hypocracy. One one hand "free speech" "express yourself", "be who you are" etc…. On the other hand censorship, yelling at people, cancel them, get them fired,…
