Nothing says big man “power” to me like firing someone… completely incompetent that you put in in the first place. Just like “wow; that guy is in charge alright.”

The Fifth Element is really good for a bajillion reasons. But they did such a good job of choosing extras that look weird as hell.

I bought a water bottle usable only by people with long fingers and my potato grubbing ancestors are cackling right now.

I can’t remember the last time Oakland was 67° at night. Not even in the summer.

Oakland having a straight-up “can we have class outside” day right now. 69 degrees. Nice.

My favorite one liner as a journalist is:

“I’m allowed to lie in my free time”

It’s ok. You can steal it.

Progress. But we’re still in ‘let’s see if they’ll resign’ mode. Not, yknow. Prosecute and fire.

This movie is emotionally manipulative.

My dad was a Domer, so I grew up with “Rudy” as scripture.

But cot dam can I imagine it’d be annoying to, well, anyone else.

Plot line: “school so great” dialogue: “school so great.”

Do you think that Alyssa Liu has always been a sleeper agent that will accept her invite to the White House?

In case I didn’t know TikTok was bought by a Trump buddy, my typical archaeology/dog/design feed is now hashtag divorcedwomen and sportsbetting. Six years of training it done down the drain.

The Mummy (‘99) is a really good blockbuster for several reasons. But the moral of the story being ‘white colonist/anthropologists ruin everything’ is pretty solid.

Some celebrities love New Orleans because they DGAF if you’re a celebrity. Others hate it for the same reason.

The Olympics are on? Probably a good time to tell you about a little known movie called The Cutting Edge…

Did you know that it was written by Tony Gilroy, the screenwriter of The Bourne Identity and Andor?

I had a dream that Russell Westbrook was on the Pelicans. It was weird.

Y'all. At my new job as the Editor-in-Chief/Layout Artist of The Rockridge News, I've been able to tap into my dusty-but-eager design brain a bit more. Feeling proud of this spread on a vacant triangle (h/t Piet Mondrian):

I think fanboying the Olympics every four years and only once every four years kinda tells on some bad traits we have as a country.

But cotdamn do I love Oakland and Alysa Liu is hell tight.
