Stop referring to fascists, bigots and racists as the "alt-right." That's like calling SpaghettiOs "alt-pasta." No, it's not. It's just shit

The number of homeless people dying in San Diego has gone up almost 10x in the last decade. Same in LA. Same in Seattle. Same in Denver, Phoenix, Austin and and and. This is Abdul. His wife and 20+ friends died last year, and any night he could be next. nytimes.com/2023/05/13/us/sa…

So grateful to @combsseth for this write-up in the @sandiegouniontribune! In which I admit that I didn’t much consider myself a “history person” before taking on this project! 😬😬😬
I don’t know what this is supposed to be, but of all the floats at the #sdccuholidaybowl Parade, this fish speaks to me on a deep level.
Cool. Do covers of “Santeria” next. sandiegouniontribune.com/new…
And the winner of “Best Poem featuring San Diego” of 2022 goes to… @speakdeadly in “All the Flowers Kneeling.”
Folks’ll drop $400+/month on yoga and chiropractor just so they don’t have to admit they need a Tempur-pedic pillow.
Look, it’d be one thing if you were French, but at this point if you’re not rooting for the only African nation in the World Cup to beat the national team of the country that once colonized them, then you really need to think long and hard about why that is? #GoMorocco

"Meet artist Francisco Eme: Seeing through the fog. The series is about death, but it’s also about family and memory, says Eme, whose real name is Francisco Morales, born and raised in Mexico City, though he considers himself a Oaxaqueño” @CombsSeth @sdut bit.ly/3VH0yv3
“There are plenty of books penned by local authors perfect for gift-giving… it’s a great way to support a local writer, but just remember to pick it up at a local bookstore.” sandiegouniontribune.com/ent…
And thanks to @kierstenwhite @coylem @lizzhuerta @mattdelapena @TheRealLifeMama @amylizwrites @kittenxlady @actualgina for writing the books, of course.
San Diegan of the Year, indeed.
Maybe you saw the news today that a Twitter engineer got fired by Elon, over Twitter.
I talked to him -- @EricFrohnhoefer.
Hours have gone by and he's still had no messaging from the company.
He doesn't even know where to send his company laptop.

Despite Harriet Hageman win, the narrative isn’t lost in Wyoming papers. Also nice to see @sdutBreen in a paper outside of SD.

If you’d like to get a sense of just how monumental the results of the Brazilian election are for that country, I can’t recommend this doc enough which, with all due respect to “American Factory,” should have won the Oscar in 2020. youtu.be/xLe24M_PB5E
I’ve been to a majority of the @SDOpera productions over the years and I’m not exaggerating when I say that “El Último Sueño de Frida y Diego” is one of the most beautifully designed, lyrically poetic and musically stirring shows I’ve ever seen. 🥹
“It’s a beautiful story of surrender, of forgiveness... Their art was so personal and so unique that it became universal.” @sdut explores the world premiere of El último sueño de Frida y Diego. Opens Saturday.
