We with It

I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]

‘Two of Us’ x King of Cups

Et voilà, c’est le weekend…le moment parfait pour être à Deux – which means it’s the weekend, and you have to seek out and On Demand Filippo Meneghetti’s Two of Us, the Italian filmmaker’s debut as feature-film director and France’s entry into the Best International Feature Film race at the upcoming and oh-so-pandemical 93rd Academy […]

Pandemic Peeps: Liz Newman

And on the seventh month…we couldn’t rest easy, because the COVID-19 pandemic’s still going on – but, I think, we have managed to carry on, now, haven’t we. I mean, yeah, everywhere around the world there is some sort of conflict as I type, but the planet’s filled with people who simply shine. That’s my […]

San Francisco, 11.17.19

We should all be farmers. We should all be farming. By which I mean we should all know how to work our land, how to nurture it during the short while we are with it on it, how to take from it without leaving it barren for whomever is coming next. Instead, we are warring. […]

We Must Adapt

For the past month, we have had some weather up here in Northern California. The smoke plus the fog in the Bay Area has been a realness. It is not pleasant. I am beyond-grateful to be safely sheltered with my family, and to want for almost nothing. I understand Cal Fire has dubbed the Northern […]

Pandemic Peeps: Paul Clemence

Knock, knock. Who’s there? Month 5. Month 5 who? Yeah, y’ know…Month 5 (dude) of the COVID-19 global pandemic and – shudder – of this generalized global shutdown that has ensued and that stubbornly won’t let up unless we all wear our masks, already, and we all make ourselves scarce so that we are not […]

C’mon Now

COVID-19 isn’t a crisis anymore. It is a failure, of our leadership and of our humanity. There it is. And here we are (still), looking like we didn’t know this novel coronavirus was this much of an existential threat (there is no vaccine! it spreads easy and fast! it can kill you or your loved […]

Pandemic Peeps: E

Time for a little math. Previously on the pandemic, we were more than a quarter of the year into a global shutdown brought on by the relentless COVID-19 novel coronavirus that’s become one of the banes of our 2020 existence. Now, less than two weeks from the start of Month 4 of our ongoing season […]

And for the Pandemic Record

If we all had gotten our heads out of our collective overprivileged asses months ago, we might, just might be well on our to have widely managed this COVID-19 global-pandemic crisis in a much more efficient kind of way. A life-saving kind of way. Will we ever learn?

Notre-Dame Caught Fire and…

Notre-Dame de Paris caught fire last year, and you wanna know what my memory of that day is? Urgh, the old coot I used to enjoy helping at the grocery store where I used to work, until that day. Him, his blue hat, and his loud and misguided Made-in-the-USA Islamophobia. Old (Caucacious) Man Chad. A […]
