I am cursed by having an absolutely superb sushi restaurant that’s about 200 yards from my front door, and I eat there every Friday for lunch. This week, I managed to take these pics of my spider roll before devouring it. If you’re in the South Bay, don’t sleep on Bistro Miyoda. #sushi

I am super grateful that we live in a world where we can get advance notice of an earthquake. But I was already in high-stress mode this morning when this alert came in. We felt nothing here in Redondo Beach. Here's hoping the best for my San Diego friends, whom I'm damn sure felt this temblor.

I’m a paid protestor. I get paid in democracy, equal rights, a steady economy, and a country I can be proud of. No amount of lame-ass money could be as valuable as that. #Resist

OH SHIT! Well, I might not be sleeping in on Saturday 4/12. This seems way too important (and cool) to miss out. Fellow Los Angelenos, wanna join me there? #Resist #FightingOligarchy act.berniesanders.com/signup/rsvp-...

I'm calling it. If the president refuses to obey lawful court orders and then tries to have the judge removed, that's the definition of a constitutional crisis, and the start of the cold civil war. Stand back and stand by, resistance fighters.

I haven't been spending enough time on BlueSky lately. Like many of you, I was disheartened after the election, and didn't feel like adding to the prevalent doom and gloom. But with Dumples the Clown resuming control tomorrow, it's time to coalesce our resistance efforts. So here I am.
