ICYMI: CW PODCAST - Last month marked a HUGE change at @Capitol_Weekly & the end of an era in Sacto: John Howard retired. @WordsmithRich has taken over as Editor - the two sat down with @oldmanfoster to talk about their careers & plans for the future

@johnmyers I reactivated my Twitter account just to high-five your kid. If he turns down The Jackson Five, then you've got a problem.

@mikegatto Eric Sevareid's autobiography, 'Not So Wild a Dream.' Not a new book, but a fascinating read with an eerie amount of parallels to today's world. I read it twice - it's that good.

@Redistrict @CookPolitical I’ll take a bet on CA49 and CA13. Loser buys lunch.

Levin’s got a good district and Gray is a perfect fit for a Dem candidate in the Central Valley.

@ellelacrosse oh shit - that's awful!

My band made our first music video back in 2004, actually shot on film! At some point the final file disappeared & was lost for years, but I'm happy to see that the filmmaker found it and posted it to @YouTube - total Sacto wayback machine!

@Liv_Moe You do you, babe.

@TheJennyGrace @maxdubler @Victor_M_Short Speaking of Bad Faith... that is not Brutalism - at all. (Not enough concrete for starters.) I get that you don't like it, but it's just fairly bland postmodern architecture, not Brutalism. If you don't believe me, image search 'Brutalist Architecture' - looks more like this:

So the big NYT article about California high speed rail is not actually saying anything new. It's the latest from a former LA Times reporter who spent the last 12 years writing based hit pieces about the project. I shut my blog down years ago. But it's time to debunk him again.

@StevieVanZandt Can't believe he left out The Sonics. 'Here are The Sonics' and 'Boom' are canon

@JeremyBWhite @FlemingWords I think I made it 100 pages, put in a bookmark 'for when I have time to finish.' that was about 9 years ago

@mdavidruff @JeremyBWhite @CAStateLibrary if a sci fi novel doesn't grab you in 30-40 pages, toss it. It's meant to be light entertainment

@jasonkinney @realassemblyman So sorry to hear this Jason... Bruce was really something. Maybe the best interview we ever had on the Capitol Weekly Podcast

From now on when people ask what kind of music I like I'm just gonna send them this

@madrid_mike Literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the photos of those brothers

If it was 'Rock the Casbah' this is fair

Running late this morning so used the car to rush daughter to school bus stop. On arrival she orders me to turn off the radio so the other kids won't hear my shameful, weakass music. It was the Clash. The Clash, I tell you.
