Loving all the new content on this site, even if Substack isn't the ideal platform as the writers have mentioned before.

On the topic of the platform... while I love the new Blue and Gold theme, is there any chance we go back to a white background? Reading white text on a royal blue background isn't great for the eyes, especially for those of us who binge read in bed at night...

The mothership is flooding the front page with actual football content and is trying to drown out the DBD dead weight.

I guess this is the end of the line for DBD. See you all at SFO.

Through the Cal Alumni Association I'm taking a free class on Food Culture and the Environment - and wow, classes are a ton different since I graduated (uh, 25 years ago) - the entire digital toolkit and discussion board for students is a bit overwhelming - plus course materials from not only readers, but also youtube and podcasts. I feel really old now. It's super interesting, but man there's a lot of reading. It was a lot easier when I could just go to Cafe Strada and the only other thing besides doing my reading was wondering if ****** got my voice mail and was interested in going to hang out in the City this weekend. (She was, but then she ended up dating some white dude with dreadlocks)
