    10 years ago, I walked into a museum in Downtown San Francisco. I’ve been trying to understand an artist, seen as the Third Coming of the Buddha, ever since. Art sales, money, lobbying, real estate, academia, and, of course, miracles. For @RollingStone:

    The best part of the GPII trade is that it means Kuminga won't have to cover PGs anymore. He is a menace on wings and was impressive against SGA and Dame (which is crazy!) but having Kuminga to shutdown 2s and 3s is more ideal

    You’re telling me I’m gonna have health care, paid vacation, and food security?!? That’s not a winning platform…

    on our honeymoon, my wife and I took a boat trip to this amazing cove on Milos and the Greek teenagers on the boat could not understand why we'd leave LA to come to a Greek island for a honeymoon. California is perfect *and* has the best PR team on the planet...

    Just a reminder: there’s nothing in the constitution that keeps republicans from running on a platform that the majority of Americans want to vote for

    I’ve been trying to find an editor who will let me write my pitch for the midseason tourney: Baltics, California, Northwest, New York, Southeast, Chicago, Midwest, Canada. It’s the only way players will actually care

    For @wired, I wrote about the 3 years spent building "the George Clooney of fishmen" for @RealGDT's beautiful new film, @shapeofwater, and what it meant for @actordougjones to step inside the beast:

    Currently writing a profile and the subject got death threats: "I had meetings with the FBI and the LAPD. They said to take it seriously because there were no spelling errors. So I've always watched spelling bees and thought, ‘Hmm, maybe there's a potential assassin there.’”
