@SJSpotlight I was inspired to bring this design & location based on SJ’s rainbow crosswalk. To see this moving forward is significant step for Santa Clara. 3rd South Bay city to do it. Not being mentioned in article nor council meeting as source of this concept must mean I’ve been cancelled

This is right near the the Santa Clara- San Jose border. Sideshows are all too common as of late and not acceptable in our communities.

[NBC Bay Area @nbcbayarea]

San Jose Police are looking for the people behind a dangerous sideshow that happened Saturday evening near Santana Row which left one onlooker and a police officer injured. https://t.co/QslaXVp1H5

@SFGate It is deeply concerning to all, that Civil Grand Jury has used taxpayer resources to side & be the tool of Mayor Gillmor who has repeatedly demonstrated questionable & unethical behavior & is not above reproach. I strongly disagree w/ reports 1-sided narrative about my governance

[Anthony J Becker @AnthonyJBecker]

@SFGate Clearly the Civil Grand Jury nor SFGate reporter watched any of the city council meetings in which I am consistently defending myself from Mayor Gillmor's constant abuse, accusations and combative behavior. The report and article are cherry picked to fit the narrative of Mayor.

@AwardsDaily Thoughts, ideas and opinions are too dangerous nowadays.

@AwardsDaily She shoulda won and she did a stellar job campaigning for lead and nearly made history.

@CinemaTweets1 2001, A Beautiful Mind over In the Bedroom. In the Bedroom was robbed and went home empty handed.

@AwardsDaily Nolan Tarantino Fincher, I’m sorry Marty I still love you. Those are the most consistent directors with no duds films can watch over & over. The others are brilliant yet have some duds in my opinion. Been hard for me to like modern PT Anderson post There Will Be Blood

@AwardsDaily SuperSize Me was a game changer documentary in 2004 & has stuck w/ me since. His series 30 Days was groundbreaking. Friends in San Francisco were in few shots of the episode, straight man living as a gay man for 30 days. That episode made me feel accepted being gay. Pivotal TV

A big step to better times. Santa Clara can finally heal and move on after years of legal battles.

Santa Clara has won with a touchdown! I favored ending the legal battle & achieving a good settlement that'll save our city money on litigation. Proud of this. However, Mayor Gillmor—a kleptocrat-disagrees & would prefer to steal💲from Santa Clarans to further her legal grudges

[San José Spotlight @SJSpotlight]

JUST IN: Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers have settled their last outstanding lawsuit after years of conflict, taking a step toward reconciliation. https://t.co/YITOtHw7JR

[Anthony J Becker @AnthonyJBecker]

@AwardsDaily They should just leave the franchise alone and create new content, that's where people will go to the movies

[Anthony J Becker @AnthonyJBecker]

@AwardsDaily Reminds me of 1995 Cutthroat Island Geena Davis female pirate led & it bombed after so much hype. Pirate movies stopped being made until Pirates of Caribbean in 2003 & the draw was Depp, it earned him an Oscar nomination and a SAG. Hope we r wrong & it's a smash, but you're right

Check out District 6 May '24 Newsletter that highlights upgrades to Henry Schmidt Park aka "The Train Park"; my trip on the bike tour of Stevens Creek Blvd; and how Swifite Clara, I mean Santa Clara is the Taylor Swift "Swiftie" Capitol of the USA !

@AwardsDaily "Hacks", love Jean Smart easy to binge through

[Anthony J Becker @AnthonyJBecker]

@AwardsDaily I keep thinking she would be bigger than Cher and Gaga at the Oscars. A good film, a Best Actress and Best Song nomination sprinkled with good box office would bring every Swiftie to watching the Oscars. A Taylor Swift win would possibly save the Oscars?

[Anthony J Becker @AnthonyJBecker]

@AwardsDaily 100% Zodiac should have replaced Atonement, and I’d even say American Gangster over Atonement too. Both Zodiac and American Gangster has had a better lasting impact than Atonement. They hold up well. Saw Juno recently and didn’t have the impact on me it had back in 2007.
