Lookout tasted 11 pumpkin pies in Santa Cruz County. These two are the best.

More pumpkin pies than poultry are eaten during this culinary holiday — 50 million pies versus a mere 46 million turkeys. While some consider a confection made from squash controversial, pumpkin pie fans far outweigh the naysayers. It’s the most popular holiday pie, beating out apple and pecan by double digits.

Silicon Valley had a terrible election night. One local billionaire did not

Election night was, to put it mildly, a bloodbath for the tech industry. But one local tech billionaire emerged almost spotless. Ripple chairman and San Francisco native Chris Larsen poured more than $22 million into national politics this cycle, much of it to the Democratic candidates and PACs that helped usher in a historic blue wave.
