Misinformation is out there – and she’s being such a bitch. I let it go yesterday evening, when we overheard a grown young man mansplain to a trio of grown young women outside a downtown bar in Walnut Creek that, “the CDC is a business. The CDC is a business!” It’s like, yeah, motherfucker, this […]

Coupon Ladies
Together Again Alert! Good Place co-stars Kristen Bell and Kirby Howell-Baptiste are reuniting (once again – for real…#WYKYK) for Queenpins, a true-story-inspired caper-com that follows the actresses’ Connie and JoJo, a bored homemaker and a frustrated vlogger, respectively, down a path of crime and toward a $40 million counterfeit-coupon empire. Scam! I mean scam. Cut […]
‘Swan Song’ x King of Cups
When I first got to Miami – gosh, 21 years ago – and to Miami Beach, in fact and particular, it was all about Todd Stephens and Todd Stephens’ Edge of Seventeen. Because that heartfelt time capsule of a gay indie had come out in 1998, and it had legs, and I was running around […]
A Wolf in Gucci Clothing
Little Monsters rejoice: Lady Gaga’s swinging for the fences in Ridley Scott’s House of Gucci. The Grammy- and Oscar-winning multi-hyphenate is set take the upcoming awards season by stylish storm on Nov. 24, when she portrays Patrizia Reggiani, the socialite at the center of one of the most sordid chapters in the history of the […]
Untitled Playlist for After the Pandemic
It’s time. Time to get vaccinated, time to keep smart and wear our masks among large crowds of people we do not know, especially indoors. Time to enjoy a little music. I put together this Untitled Playlist for After the Pandemic a few months into the pandemic, ’round the time we were hitting peak baking […]
San Jose, 7.10.21
How lucky am I, to have seen mixed-media work by Ebony G. Patterson on two coasts now. Had a couple of friends in town this month, so we took a hot drive down to San Jose – ’cause we know the way. It beckoned, don’t you know, don’t you know, to the Institute of Contemporary […]
The Cold Hard Truth
It is staying warmer longer at night these dog days, and that is not a good thing. Not fun at all. No. Mmm…slower coolingsdown. If only we’d been warned, educated, and/or informed…. I remember in school, when teachers would explain the seasons to us kids, and describe how during summer, the days feel longer, the […]
‘Roadrunner: A Film About Anthony Bourdain’ x King of Cups
As someone who’s been keenly aware of my fallibility and mortality for quite some time now, and who’s long been interested in the study and nurture of my own spirit, I will say there was a clarity to the passing of Anthony Bourdain three summers ago. Not only an untimely and unkind finality, but an […]
Dear Caitlyn Jenner (et al.)
So you wanna be governor of California? Why? And your taxes, please. We are all well aware here in America that the rich and the big corporations, and, of course, the common con, possibly, more than likely do not pay their fair share o’ taxes. And guess what, California, and thus Ms. Jenner and her […]
Hot 🥵 Summer
If you are a global-warming denier or know someone who hasn’t been believin’ in climate change (and somehow getting in the way of any sort of sensical large-scale worldwide preparation), please, fuck off and remember and/or know that last year, in 2020, Death Valley National Park didn’t register a 130-degree temperature until the middle of […]
