I have been saying this for A LONG TIME, but it’s worth repeating as the A’s becomes the third team to abandon Oakland, OAKLAND NEEDS A WNBA TEAM. It would instantly be the biggest ticket in The Town, AND fan base/demographics are perfect for women’s basketball.

For folks not from Northern California watching this Warriors vs. Kings series, to understand the energy, you have to understand the relationship between The Bay and Sacramento.

Almost half of the 3,000 people held at the Fulton County jail have not been formally charged with a crime. There is no amount of money in the world for new jails that can redeem this. Let people go home.

The show is SO SoCal. Dynamic between LA & OC Asians is so real. Ppl don’t really get it unless they really step into this world. Asian Americans who say we don’t have our own subcultures are wrong. We do - it’s just not often shown with such nuance/subtleties like #BEEFnetflix.

Wow, #BEEFNetflix was wild… funny, emotional, fascinating exploration of two people unraveling and all of the people impacted in the midst of that. loved the emphasis on art, the Korean church & music’s role in it, and Young Mazino was 🔥🔥🔥 . Binged it in one night.
