Beautiful and peaceful Berekely citizens making music and singing to protest Tesla.

Doing a bit of dusting - Here’s a large Opus sketch that Berkeley Breathed very kindly sent me many years ago after I’d interviewed him…

As is tradition, things are a bit higgledy piggledy around here between:

1) A whole bunch more people than there's been for months.
2) New students REALLY driving and walking around Berekely for the first time.
3) Their alumni parents trying to drive around with a 20-40 year old muscle memory map.

This article is a great way to apply old skills to new tools! I took Bibliography 1 at UC Berekely to get a stack pass. Those research skills still pay off today even though no one uses subject index reference books anymore.

• "the searchers" at the uc theater in berekely; dude kept hissing john wayne's racist character and calling wayne an "asshole." yeah, we KNOW. THAT'S THE POINT. he got kicked out halfway thru, but still.
fun question: what’s the maddest you’ve ever been leaving a movie theater? not necessarily worst movie you’ve seen, but the one that just pissed you off the most. mine is Batman v Superman

Someone edited a bunch of Aziracrow clips set to the full version of A Nightingale Sang in Berekely Square that's used in s1. I am in love with this edit but also crying.

James Baldwin's 1979 Berekely talk unsettles our fixed idea of linear European time. Human progress is not inevitable. In many ways, we are still governed by slave codes and colonial law. Realising that is the first step to building a time present of things future.

Or how do we enter into a time present, of things future?

Watterson's "inspiration" to never merchandise, if you want to call it that, came from his outright disgust at Berke Breathed turning Bloom County into a marketing vehicle for Opus the Penguin. In what's probably the most treasured hate mail ever, Watterson frequently roasted Breathed in sketch.

Berekely Breathed seems to be back!
Today's was even more poignant, with the innocence of Opus awaiting his ice from ICE.

Oakland (extends south to Hayward), Berekely (extends north to El Cerrito), Alameda, the Peninsula, Fremont (everything south of Hayward to Fremont).

The other side of the Oakland hills is New Jersey.

UC Berekely Arboretum in the hills yesterday at 3:30pm. Great still day with clear light. Nice day in the bay.

Resist, refuse, and riot.

Civil disobedience is our duty under a fascist regime.

That reminds me of this cartoon Bill Watterson made about Bloom County creator Berkeley Breathed roasting hin for binning getting rid of unprofitable characters. Imagine having Bill Watterson draw a cartoon about you and it's to call you a sell out bitch

Yeah, that's what I meant. The video. I was more interested in seeing Goldfinger than reading about Berekely in Oct 1964.

Childhood heroes I should probably get around to meeting at some point (before it's too late):
Bill Waterson, Berekely Breathed, Gary Larson, and Sandra Boynton. Not sure if they'd enjoy me much, but I hope so: their works influenced me as I grew up.
(Yes, I've always loved comics, why do you ask?)

Berekely Indivisible hosted a fantastic rally on Labor Day in Martinsburg, WV. If you want to make a difference for a better democracy then join us!#berkeleyindivisible

From the Wikipedia page for Berekely Square under the Fictional Residents section. What's with the scare quotes around "identical cousins"? That's what they were. Is Wikipedia implying their genetic similarities might be from some sort of Parent Trap splitting-up-actual-sisters situation?

Managed to get a lot of sleep last night, which was great, but then I was roused forth from my slumber by a gentle jiggling, which was not, as it turns out, a large vehicle passing the house.

I really thought The Beatles wouldn't be my top Spotify artist this year but....yup, one more time.
The Beatles
The Chelsea Curve
Janelle Monae
Blur
Elvis Costello

And Berekely, because that's where they listen to Mingus and Monae. Pretty sure they meant Oakland.

Continued exposure to Berekely student writing during of the early 60s soured me on sympathizing with Hoffman.
The crucial sympathy-shift in experiencing The Graduate is when you go from his age to her age.
Flipped on THE GRADUATE on TCM + have learned I am now Mrs. Robinson years old (36)!
