Cal Women’s Basketball is legit. They just had a very dominant performance over Georgia Tech. All of our starters were on their games tonight. They clearly look better than their projected 9 Seed for the NCAA Tournament. They will be very competitive if they keep playing like they did tonight.

Cal Women’s Basketball is legit. They got a first round bye in the ACC Tournament with their win tonight against UVA. Don’t sleep on Cal WBB. I am not a hater on UVA, but they didn’t admit me into their masters program but Cal did. Thus, this one was a feel good win for me tonight.

With it being Valentine’s Day weekend and with Noir Alley being off this week, I’m watching Elevators to the Gallows from 1958.The love story in it is fitting for Valentine’s Day. Respectfully and politely, Alicia Malone can be my Valentine any day. She’s dreamy and great on TCM.

Cal WBB is going to have to become mentally and physically tougher if they expect to be a top ACC team this season. They have the talent to be a top team, but they need to display more discipline and more toughness.

Cal WBB played hard in the first half. They just need to relax a bit and get in a good rhythm in the second half. The refs seemed to be a little loose with UNC and a little tight with Cal early in the game.

This is actually how I feel on this Sunday.

I agree.

Yeah. This one is this fun.

Champagne Cocktails while watching the sun set over the Golden Gate sounds lovely to me. #noiralley #womenontherun

This is a legit comment. Sheridan is no joke in this one. #noiralley #womenontherun

These shots of SF in Women On The Run is off the chart. And the dialogue is snappy and fun. “Drop dead!” Ha! #noiralley

Cal WBB showed mental and physical toughness last night. Sure, they blew a big lead, but Stanford is also better than their record shows. This is the first Cal WBB win at the Farm in 10 years and first Stanford sweep in like forever. Cal now has 3 ACC road wins. Don't sleep on Cal WBB!

www.nbcnews.com/politics/don... Trump loves the people who wanted to kill for him in order to keep him in office after he loss the 2020 election. Trump likes that some of these people violently attacked law enforcement in his name. And why does that guy deserve a pardon for unrelated charges?

thehill.com/homenews/sen... Trump 2.0 is all about contradictions so far. He wants more drilling in Alaska, which won't lower gas prices, but he won't hire people to do drilling permitting. He is cutting infrastructure funding but then spending the same infrastructure money that he said he cut.

thehill.com/homenews/adm... This story hasn't got much attention. I cringe when his supporters say Trump is sacrificing out of the goodness of his heart as President. The guy is President only to obtain money and power. No other President set up pay for play like this. Teapot Dome wasn't this bad.

Good update by Bremmer. The Trump crypto thing is not talked about much but is totally "pay to play" corrupt. Trump bullying the world might be his goal but what will he get out of it that will benefit the US? I can't think of anything. China's economy is weak right now but they won't back down.

www.cnbc.com/2025/01/22/j... Shut up Jamie. So, I have to pay more for goods and services because you are a wimp with Trump? Plus tariffs will weaken the U.S. economy. Jamie is kissing up to Trump for that big tax cut for himself and his billionaire cronies. Jamie only cares for himself.

Things can change fast in college football. I am so happy Mendoza left so that to create the possibilities listed below. Fernando Mendoza strengthened Cal football by leaving. He should get an alumni award for empowering us to have a better starting QB next season than he.

I'm not being some "woke snowflake" here. If this wasn't meant to be a Nazi salute then Elon would just say that. But he's not saying that, and obviously this thing he did is aimed at encouraging fascists globally and getting some people worked up. Elon is pro-Nazi. It's that simple.

TCM's lineup today is all anti-Nazi films.

www.cnbc.com/2025/01/20/t... So, I am anti-American because it's clear Trump tariffs will raise prices? Tariffs are inflationary and anti-growth. I guess I am anti-American because I want inflation at 2% with growing GDP. These days it seems pro-America is pro-inflation and anti-economic growth.

Jim Cramer is becoming a hack for Trump. Today he essentially argued that Trump is pro-business and all Dems are anti-business. As a Dem, I am pro-business. I just think tariffs on items that can't be produced in U.S. is anti-business. Disagreeing with Trump policies doesn't make me anti-business.

Ioanna Krimili is a three point sniper in this game right now as well.

Lulu Twidale is like a sniper right now when it comes her three point shot.

variety.com/2025/film/ne... He is viewed as an amazing talent by many film luminaries to include Stephen Spielberg. His films are all uniquely his own. I have only seen Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, but I need to attempt to fully embrace his weirdness. I will watch more of his films this year.

"The Indians win! The Indians win! Man-o-man the Indians win!" I thought that Bob Uecker embodied a lot of what I find fun about the game of baseball. RIP sir.

Cool shoes! calbears.com/news/2025/1/...

oilprice.com/Energy/Crude... Trump is wrong about "Drill Drill Drill." U.S. oil production is at record levels and higher than Trump's 1st term. Global oil demand is decreasing and more drilling won't lower gas prices with lower demand. US oil production is offsetting Russia oil sanctions.

Charmin Smith is developing a great program at Cal. I like how she talks about being the hunter and not the hunted.

This is crazy. Some people in the ACC don’t respect Cal Women’s Basketball. Even if this clip was shot last week, the commentator should have mentioned Cal as a potential top 5 team. Don’t sleep on Cal Women’s Basketball this year.

I agree. This was a big win. Cal Women’s Basketball earned some validation tonight. Although there is room for improvement, this was the most complete performance by Cal this season. NCST made the Final Four last year. Don’t sleep on Cal women’s basketball.

writeforcalifornia.com/p/insta-reca... UVA is a great school and a great "Blue Chip" ACC basketball program. Thus, it is great that Cal got its first ever ACC win over such a storied program. College basketball is about momentum, and this win could bring momentum for the rest of the year.

This post is a proper tribute to President Carter on this day. President Carter was known as a political outsider, and I have been known to be a political outsider at times. Outsiders solve problems in politics, and the current Big Money construct in American politics walls out outsiders.

I like this piece by Dean Chemerinsky. The will of the people needs to be recognized, and Article 2 duties need to be fulfilled. However, it looks like a jury verdict will be dismissed, and the Framers didn’t intend for that. The classified documents crimes is particularly awful and dangerous.

This statement by Jason Furman is something I agree with.

I agree with this one.
