Lunch before editing. Look here, it’s June 1, 2020. We know what needs to change – the entire world sees it. Here, there, everywhere. This system that discriminates, rapes and pillages, sickens, and shortchanges our brothers and sisters, you, me, it’s got to get an upgrade. Today. It doesn’t work. Hasn’t worked, except for those […]

The Thing About a Vaccine
It has been a little more than eight months since COVID-19 insinuated itself into our lives, upending our local and global routines, and forcing (most of) us to take a real good look at ourselves and the culture and the world, and really consider our place on our planet. It has been an extended come-to-Jesus […]

“U.S.A.” “U.S.A.” U…S…Oy. We are 40 days and 40 nights out from Election Day on Nov. 3, and the one and only (thank goodness) Donald “the Impeached” Trump is still unabashedly signaling and unequivocally on the record saying he does not anticipate a peaceful transfer of power, when he loses the election (again), because basically, […]
PTSD
America’s PTSD is real, and it’s time we acknowledge as much, as a culture and as a melting pot. We the people make this country amazing. What can I tell ya, the sun is shining again on San Francisco. And I’ve been working on my shit. I left Lima for Miami 20 years ago last […]
Chill
Bay Area! This Labor Day weekend, don’t go all tits out, OK. Chill. Let Wayne Thiebaud’s “Girl with Pink Hat” have all the end-of-summer fun, so that you – so that we all – may be able to visit with her at the SFMOMA, when the museum is finally allowed to reopen. COVID-19’s still very much […]
#Iclosemyeyes…and I See Capri
#Iclosemyeyes…e siamo tornati a Capri. All I need is the rhythm divine. And now that we’ve been, I know to skip il taxi and take us up on il funiculare to Piazza Umberto I. It’s almost Aperol o’clock, and if we’re on time, then we’ll be right on time to enjoy an afternoon welcome from […]
A 2020 Without Basel
Aw, Miami. Now you know it’s really, really serious. (I’m kidding. You’ve known it’s serious. Right? Get it and keep it together, already – you know what to do.) Basel has been cancelled! Indeed, for the first time since its post-9/11, tourism-revitalizing and scene-revolutionizing inception in 2002, Art Basel Miami Beach is a no-go this […]
This Is Them
This is them. This is their time. And the kids are driving us back to the theater experience, too. Fresh off a pre-, during, and post-COVID-19 award-winning trek up the 2020 film-festival circuit, the documentary Us Kids is ready for ya. Catch it at the drive-in, when it visits your city for a very special […]
Congratulations: The Time Is Right Now
So many people – tens of thousands – have been displaced by the fires that have been raging in the Northern Bay Area this week. Hundreds of thousands, in fact. People are losing their homes. People have died. And fire season just started (start doing your rain dance, please). The day after tomorrow is today. […]
Don’t Be a Daniel
Fucking people…tossing their trash wherever they want, for all to see, for someone else to pick up. It’s stopped cups like this one 👆🏽, and this one, and that one. It’s those nasty cigarette butts. It’s all that damn plastic. It’s all the shit that we leave behind, when we go to the park or […]
