Do you know? What it feels like for a pedestrian? Do you know what it feels like in this world for a pedestrian, when we are crossing the street, and y’all forget how four-way stops work? You cannot afford to hit this with your car. Relax – you are in a car. You’ll get there. […]

A New, Same O’ (Ish) Vogue
Chloe Malle, the daughter of the celebrated actress Candice Bergen and filmmaker Louis Malle, has been promoted to take the job – ish – of Vogue departing editrix Anna Wintour effective immediately. Malle, who has been at the Condé Nast title since 2011 and serving as editor of Vogue.com since 2023, began her introduction as […]
Fuck Facebook
You can delete Facebook. Just like Twitter. It is doable. You will survive. We managed for a long, much more humane time without it, without social media. And don’t you know, don’t you know, you might like, thrive without it. We just might make it anew without it, as a society and as a culture […]
San Francisco, 5.21.24
Why are people so pressed about and focused on Bennifer, when there’s a big ol’ Diddy right there?
Protests on Campuses
Universities don’t silence, they amplify. They promote and share knowledge and research and community. The time for peaceful protest is now.

There is more money in crisis, but we neither have to participate in the persistent lunacy of the game of war nor tolerate its most involved players (after all, it […]
San Francisco, Today
Natural disasters, however Man-fueled, cannot be prevented – they can only be managed…survived. But Man-made disasters like wars, that we can do without (if we really wanna). So help. Help the people of Acapulco, the people on your streets, the people we all know need our help the most. Fuck it, help yourself by not […]
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 […]
Juneteenth ❌ MMXXI
So tomorrow’s Juneteenth. Ish. Corporate America is giving millions of American workers Friday off, in observance of June 19 on Saturday. Juneteenth marks the day in 1865, when Texan slaves learned they had been freed, two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863. I expect that […]
