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 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.

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.

Aided by genAI models like ChatGPT, “writers” hoping to get paid for fake stories have become an even bigger problem for publications big and small. One such writer almost pulled one over on COYOTE — until @soleilho.com, who is a nerd, spotted a key idiosyncrasy.

My mom voted for friggin' Nixon AND Reagan but she danced the mambo to Perez Prado at El Patio in San Francisco in the 1950s. Latin music has been popular in the United States since at least the 1940s, if not way earlier. These people need to get over themselves.
