The second impeachment of Donald “the Impeached” Trump can go ahead, for a trial is Constitutional. The U.S. Senate voted on it, OK…56-44, with six Republicans growing a spine and joining all 50 members of the Democratic caucus. For the ultimate in white privilege (oh, that’s right…), can you believe there was a debate? That […]

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.

My Wish for 2021
Upcycle the shit.
And Just Like That, Indeed
No wonder I had, legit, been cravin’ a cosmo…. When I got to this land, in the year 2000, Sex and the City was the toast of the town that HBO helped to go premium, even though Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) had just gone bad by cheating on Aidan with Mr. Big. Season 4 […]

It will be so nice…. Directed by Josh Greenbaum […]
The Wind That’s Beginning to Howl
There is a storm ahead, alright. Still. I cannot be sure if last night’s wind spectacular was a normal event that we’d previously simply missed out on witnessing and experiencing – what…a roar – because we lived a little farther south and downhill from our current perch in San Francisco, but that was quite a […]
‘Promising Young Woman’ x King of Cups
Fuck Santa Claus – this extended, pandemical holiday movie season it’s Carey Mulligan’s Promising Young Woman the one who gets to judge who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. Indeed, Academy Award nominee Mulligan (An Education, Drive) is back on screens as Cassie, a character conceived and brought to vivid life by Emerald Fennell in […]
Impeached…Again!
A president so unnice, he had to be impeached twice. Indeed, Donald “the Impeached” Trump has been impeached…again…by the U.S. House of Representatives – this time with a bipartisan majority – on one charge of “incitement of insurrection,” on account of the undeniable role he played in the Jan 6. treasonous (and deadly) siege of […]
