I’m not at USD anymore but I’m sure they have someone. Either in admissions or Office of International Programs or both as a shared responsibility.

Was crossing the street near my house in Point Loma at night and dude took a right turn through the crosswalk probably doing 30. Jerked myself and my dog back out of the way. Just angry and scared and empty and without even anyone around to witness that I’d almost just died for nothing.

I just work down here but I have low fear levels and a high tolerance for urban chaos and there are 2-3 corners that are just no-go zones for me.

I know someone who just had to jump in to stop a group of youths who were beating another young teen almost to death on a trolley platform downtown. He almost got stabbed in the chest for doing the right thing. SDPD and transit police were completely unhelpful.

Favorite hotel sign, “Please no intercouse with non-guests in hotel rooms. For that, use the lobby.”

If drivers don't want to share the road with cyclists, the obvious solution is for them to map out their routes so they only use roads with protected bike lanes. #agency #personalresponsibility

Does anyone know the answer to this? Mercy Corps wrestled with the ugliness in their past. SIT?

PSA: I'm not sure about every state, but normally the way you check your registration is to go to your state's secretary of state webpage.

"Disenfranchise the incarcerated" but from the left, is not an argument I expected to see today or any day, but here we are.

It’s not like the competition is especially fierce, but Boots is one of the better explorations of masculinity I’ve seen in TV/movies.

Interview I think (with sex pest Charlie Rose) unless there was a column also :-)

I very much like this notion of “in the statistical style.” The ideological fashion of quantitative prediction without any of the underpinning that makes it fact based or useful.Because a factual basis would necessitate being aware of the limits of this method for understanding things in the world.

You see Joshua, they have a “tribal” culture where honor is important. So when you bust through their front door at night in full battle rattle and line up their family against the wall, they become angry.

You shouldn’t be surprised that a lot of us grew up to take drugs when you were feeding us that as a kid.

Ya. We have tickets for Tuesday and I’ll enjoy the hell out of it but not a lot of hope in my heart. One foul tip on 103 away from this being totally different.

Fermin sub and Miller in the 8th feels like Stammen over-managing in his first playoffs.

Fermin instead of Campy. Sigh.

Manny sure is being Manny in this series.

Man I found an email client (eM Client) to replace Outlook that’s almost exactly the same but prettier and no AI. Glorious.

My first day in LA, I was driving to a house party off Melrose and we went by a photo shoot with a naked woman painted head to toe in body paint. OK, this place may be a little different.
