It doesn’t seem fair or smart or particularly nimble to write that the folks at Buntport are at it again. And yet: The folks at Buntport are at it again with their latest original play, “Best Town.” By “it” I mean digging into a big bag of ideas, jokes, images, pop culture knick-knacks and historical archives to craft a witty, intellectually omnivorous bit of business that dares to be silly, too.It’s hard not to detect an echo of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” in the title of this larky, post-pandemic dive into the subjects of loneliness and connection — and, oh yeah, libraries, Olivia Newton-John and Thomas Pynchon. Only the burg here, Kitsault, is an abandoned mining town in Canada, about 17 hours northeast via the Cariboo Highway from Vancouver, B.C. And its denizens are a goofy little trio of caretakers: groundskeeper Dodge (Brian Colonnacq), interior-buildings steward Stanley (Erik Edborg), and emergency go-to Hilary (Erin Rollman), who has decided to be the town’s v...Gunfire erupts near graduation ceremony in Banning

SAN FRANCISCO — Former Santa Clara star Brandin Podziemski views himself as cross between Donte DiVincenzo and Jalen Brunson. Their toughness and competitiveness, he says, mirrors his own desire to prove people wrong.“Guys like to underestimate us and our abilities until it’s proven,” Podziemski said.Podziemski had an opportunity to impress the Warriors Wednesday when he joined five other prospects, including San Jose State guard and Mountain West Player of the Year Omari Moore, at a pre-draft workout at Chase Center.If Podziemski is being honest, the West Coast Conference Newcomer of the Year didn’t think he would be where he is now a year ago. Last May, Podziemski decided to transfer to Santa Clara after an underwhelming freshman season at Illinois, during which he struggled to crack coach Brad Underwood’s rotation for consistent stretches.When Podziemski arrived in Santa Clara, he set out to follow in a similar path as former Broncos star Jalen Willi...Walters: California transit systems’ pleas for aid haven’t moved the Capitol

California’s public transit systems say they are facing a “fiscal cliff” as ridership continues to lag behind pre-pandemic levels and federal emergency aid expires.If the state doesn’t cough up billions of dollars to underwrite bus and rail systems – they want $1 billion a year for at least five years – their managers say they will have no choice but to reduce service and/or raise fares, mostly affecting low-income Californians.On Tuesday, transit system leaders, their unions and supportive legislators staged an “emergency press conference” near the Capitol to raise the issue’s profile, as legislative leaders and Gov. Gavin Newsom work on a state budget that must be passed by June 15.“It’s a do or die moment for transit in California,” state Sen. Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat, said.Transit’s pleas haven’t fared well so far. Newsom’s revised budget this month brushed them off with a vague pledge to work on the problem later.Transit has some support in Assembly and Senate bud...Bay Area tech layoffs top grim milestone after jobs cuts by Meta, Nuro, others

By Chloe Melas | CNNBuckle up, “Sex and the City” fans, because Kim Cattrall is finally back.A spokesperson for HBO/Max confirmed to CNN that Cattrall filmed a scene as Samantha Jones in March for the hit show’s continuation series “And Just Like That…”. Like CNN, HBO is part of parent company Warner Bros. Discovery.The New York Post was first to report the news.This is a major turn of events given that Cattrall, who played the sex-positive, powerful publicist Jones in “Sex and the City” for six seasons and two movies, famously did not appear in the first season of the reboot.“It’s odd, isn’t it? I don’t know how to feel about it,” Cattrall said of how Samantha’s absence was explained in the new series. “It’s so finite for me, so it doesn’t continue. This feels like an echo of the past.”CNN has reached out to a representative for Cattrall for comment on her decision to appear in the series’ second season.According to Wednesday’s reports, Cattrall’s cameo was filmed in secrecy in Mar...Opinion: California must realign its priorities for water usage
Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 17:21:25 GMT
The massive snowpack in the Sierras looming over California’s Central Valley has shifted the state’s water focus from years-long drought to the threat of devastating flooding. But both of these seemingly opposite perils have a common origin and mandate a common solution. To achieve water stability and sustainability, the state must realign its priorities by putting people and communities over the profiteering industries that are driving the water and climate crisis.For the last 20 years, California has been mired in a historic dry period, punctuated by a few short bursts of strong storms and heavy precipitation. This winter’s deluge is consistent with that pattern, one which scientists predict will become more extreme as climate change accelerates — longer droughts and increasingly severe storms.Our water crisis is inextricably tied to climate change, which is ironically being driven by two industries very familiar to California: fossil fuels and industrial agriculture.The sci...Four-bedroom home sells in San Jose for $1.6 million
