Levi’s is going live at 5:01, California time, this afternoon. The San Francisco-based company is launching 5:01 Live today, in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. I’m not at liberty to say who’s lined up to perform this week, but when you see them, you just might drop it like it’s hot with excitement. You might call […]
“Hello,” “Please,” and “Thanks.” People of the world, these are the three little words ya gotta remember when you go to a grocery store, always and forever, but especially during this pandemic. Look, I know what I’m talking about when I gripe about the casual cultural classism and racism that surprisingly permeates San Francisco, or the […]
A day later, California Gov. Gavin Newsom echoed the shelter-in-place ordinance that Madam Mayor London Breed announced in San Francisco last Monday, but for the entire Golden State and its 40 million residents. Food providers (farmers’ markets, grocery stores, and the restaurants that can manage it) may stay open. Ditto gas stations, pharmacies, and food […]

Like, really: What do Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders […]
I’m not a doctor, and I don’t play one on TV, but I am going to recommend that y’all find yourselves a neighborhood Peruvian store. Stat. And restaurant, too. Double-stat. (@qusqobistro in #LosAngeles, #ChalánontheBeach in #MiamiBeach, and @limonrotisserie here in town. Provecho.) You’re only as healthy as your diet and your traditions, and that’s the […]
