Sadly, I had to miss Gogol Bordello due to work travel, because I suspect they would be at the top. That said, seeing Kishi Bashi in SF was wonderful. Just a wonderfully bubbly, fun stage show.

No love for Louise’s pyromania? Maybe I just relate to it too much.

I want to print this on cards and hand them out when the debate starts all over again in December.

Not to rain too hard on your parade, but your idea would be WAY harder than it looks. In most cities, DA is an elected position but in others, it’s a position appointed by the mayor. So there would either be pushback from voters and/or elected officials about not prosecuting metas. And as a trial-level attorney in the…
