It's a delight to see it out. For the first decade we lived here, it sat in a parking lot under a tarp. #SanFrancisco

I have fond memories of that sculpture when I visited the California Academy of Sciences when I was a kid. I'll have to swing by City College some day to revisit it.

I met filmmaker, teacher, baseball fanatic, and pro wrestler Professor Danny Boyd when he emailed me in 2008 about my punk wrestling memoir, "Beer, Blood & Cornmeal." We stayed in touch ever since & I was lucky enough to call him my friend. He is missed.

Some friends of mine met Walter Koenig at the North Hollywood Diner. I saw Ned Beatty at the Tallyrand once but didn't talk to him. He just ate pancakes.

I was at San Diego Comic-Con a while back. I covered the WWE Hasbro events and interviewed the Miz. Later the nerdy media types I was hanging out with were shocked that working for WWE was not my dream job. "Working for Vince McMahon is like working for Whitey Bulger," I explained.

It's crazy how vibes-based policing is. You just have to look like you're keeping us safe without actually keeping us safe.

I just want the police to deal with management consultants as much as every other public agency. Like they might discover that having massive armored troop transports doesn't really help with their clearance rates and the funds could be better spent elsewhere.

When I was writing Murders That Made Us, I wanted to devote a chapter to some storied detective, but digging around, I almost always found stories about people they arrested and helped put away being released on appeal because the investigator withheld or falsified evidence.

It is Wednesday, February 11. The Super Bowl was three days ago. The sun will die in approximately five billion years. Death comes inexorably for us all. And large portions of MAGA and the Trump administration are still talking about Bad Bunny's halftime show: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
MAGA absolutely cannot let Bad Bunny go
Denying his Super Bowl success is a way to try to assert Trump's cultural control.
