In November, after I was arrested while reporting on the General Strike in Oakland, Alameda County sheriffs and a nurse who didn’t identify herself made me pee into a cup. This was in an open cell, as other sheriffs, nurses and inmates walked by. I tried to do it quickly. I wanted to get it over with. I wanted to cooperate.
But I also wanted to know why I was being forced to take a...

I’ve noticed an uptick over the past couple weeks/months of parrying all criticism with the riposte “Troll.” It’s apparently pretty effective because no one wants to have to defend their case. All dissent is not equivalent to race mongering on Twitter because a hockey player has the temerity to be black. Think white exceptionalism degrades the quality of journalism everywhere? Troll....

Tables for Two: Littleneck →
With its white wainscoting and nautical paraphernalia, the room affects the look of some old dockside haunt. The menu follows suit, and is comprised mostly of no-fuss classics like fried oysters, skate wing, and steamers. The lobster rolls and clam rolls, made with nostalgia-tinged Sunbeam bread, are piled high with fish. There’s an unpretentious raw bar, craft beers, a small but well-chosen...

Let’s start off with saying that nothing that Joe Muto has done in his quest to be the “Fox Mole” is even remotely justifiable on ethical or civil grounds. We can safely be dismissive of any argument on his behalf that he had a “reason” to do any of this. So, that’s out of the way.
Are none of you even slightly sketched out that a private organization was able to command a search...

We should all turn off our televisions and close our laptops and go outside and move our limbs and play with each other and laugh and smooch and wrestle, because we are all going to be dead in what will seem like 45 minutes and we are going to stay that way until the end of an infinite number of forevers.
Have a great weekend!
Cool 4/20 post.

SCION-TOLOGY
From The Psychic Soviet by Ian Folke Svenonius:
Like an offish breed of show dog, celebrities’ bloodlines intersect at a thousand points.
Nepotism, not talent or charm, appears to have raised them to their respective junctures of notoriety and wealth. As their family trees criss-cross more and more, the telltale totems of incest appear: idiocy, hemophilia, even madness.
The wagons have...
