I know hairstyles come and go and come back again, but it is so weird to see all these Gen Z men with 1972- ish long hair. It is like they are auditioning for Three Dog Night.

Question for Facebook Techies Hivemind: I asked ChatGPT if there is something that I could do with my old laptop so that someone could still find it useful. ChatGPT said, "Sure! If your old laptop won't run Windows 11, then install a new operating system. Install Linux Mint or ChromeOS. It […]

So… the USA is buying oil from Russia… Russia is aiding Iran… Iran is at war with thei US causing the shortage in the first place… Just how many people are being blackmailed, extorted, or paid off to enable this grift?

Since Trump has brought Los Angeles and San Diego together, you know what would really unite us? Frequent high-speed rail trains. By the way, the #Amtrak ride between the two cities is beautiful. #rail #California

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Michael Kearns. He was a legend. I had the privilege of meeting and working with him in an independent film I did called, Behind The Red Motel Door. He was out as a gay man back when so many actors chose to remain closeted. I hope he knew how many […]

Anyone who thinks that Trump wouldn’t sacrifice his own supporters in Southern California missed him sacrificing his own supporters at superspreader events during COVID and his leaving top members of his cabinet and staff behind to get blown up on the decoy plane.

Just as we switched to mail-in voting during COVID, switch to voting early this year. The earlier we vote, the harder to rig.

Donald Trump just said in a speech that Iran can destroy Los Angeles and San Diego. This Californian just told Donald Trump what I think of him and his Republican stooges with my vote. Now go out there and stand up for California. Vote Xavier Becerra for Governor and the entire blue team!

It's their country and they can vote how they want, but it is honestly a little triggering to see Brazilian voters not seem to care any more about an authoritarian's attempted coup than American voters did. I know it isn't that simple, but I am expressing my feeling. I also fear what the […]

My ballot arrived today, and I am excited to vote for Xavier Becerra for Governor of the Republic of California. I am banking my vote as early as possible to help campaign volunteers focus on and target who actually needs outreach and help. It is time for our Becerra Era. Let’s do this!

Donald Trump is not going to be able to declare martial law before the election. He doesn't have the legal authority and won't have the backing from Congress or the Supreme Court. The election is here. Early voting has started in some places and will continue to roll out across the country […]
