We get knocked down, but we get up again. The last four years have been tough. And, yeah, by that I mean 2020. It has been a moment, and methinks it’s worth acknowledging it. So drop a pin: We are here. I am here. You’re never gonna keep me down; I’m a survivor. And if […]

Beyond COVID-19
OMG, OMG, OMG. COVID-23 is a thing…at the movies at “the movies.” For serious, can you imagine a world in which COVID-19 mutates for four long years (not four more years…) to become COVID-23, a beyond-novel coronavirus that has thrust the world into the extremest of lockdowns? Well, now ya don’t have to, for Michael […]
Half a Bill
A year-ish, give or take…depending on where you are, since the global COVID-19 pandemic thrust humanity into a long season of self-isolation and systems-shocking quarantine, America has lost more than 500,000 people to the novel coronavirus. More than half a billion humans gone, only in the United States of America. The global death toll is […]
A Comment Re: London Breed & Gavin Newsom
Get a life, people. It clearly, demonstrably, undeniably is one thing to harp on Donald – yuck…too early – Trump, and it is quite a ridikolous other to sue the governor as a pressure tactic to get restaurants to reopen, when schools ought to be the priority. Newsom, much like San Francisco Mayor London Breed […]

As some of us begin to see our communities re-re-re-open this COVID-19 season, let us remember that one person’s moment of quote-unquote freedom almost 11 months into our ongoing global pandemic is barely another’s second-wave cuarentena. Four hundred forty-two thousand Americans have died from this ever-evolving pest, OK, of course to say nothing of the […]
‘One Night in Miami…’ x King of Cups
Thank goodness for Regina King. For decades now, from 1996’s Jerry Maguire (my official introduction), to the Legally Blonde and Miss Congeniality sequels, to TV’s 24 and HBO’s The Leftovers, I’ve appreciated the style and the power with which the actress has refined her craft and blazed her trail. Her work on the American Crime […]
Your Zebras, America
Happy New Year. I can see it and yet, I barely believe it: America’s democracy is under siege, by Donald “the Impeached” Trump’s terroristical MAGA Nation, which this morning did as told and took the United States Capitol (like, the heart of Washington, D.C.); at best, to interrupt the certification of the 2020 win of […]
‘Wonder Woman 1984’ x King of Cups
And there on Christmas she was, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, the hero we the pandemic peeps of the year that wasn’t needed, nay, deserved, in a long-awaited blockbuster sequel premiering at oh-so-select theaters across our COVID nation (ay, pero qué pasó, California – we know better than to surge at this stage in the game, […]
‘Greenland’ x King of Cups
Full disclosure: I had dinner “with” Gerard Butler, once upon a 2013 Art Basel Miami Beach soirée hosted by Dom Pérignon and the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer Roger Dubuis. He wore the Excalibur timepiece, in case you were wondering; and we talked about Paul Walker, who had just died in that terrible car accident, and […]

Good thing the novel coronavirus vaccine has made its way stateside. Today, nine-ish months after humanity and the world went into lockdown on account of the global COVID-19 pandemic, and as the United States of America’s death toll passed 301,000, Sandra Lindsay, a critical care nurse in Queens, N.Y., became the first American to be […]
