Sharing my latest #SMDP column highlighting goings on in & around Santa Monica this week.
Your weekend starts here w/ the AIDS/LifeCycle Finish Line Festival expecting 10k people by the beach, Pride Month activities, outdoor movies & food suggestions! smdp.com/2023/06/08/around-t…
Both exciting and terrifying to see the #USC #BIG10 schedule in 2024 and 2025! xitter.gq/uscfb/status/166690242…
B1G things coming soon!
Here’s your first look at our 2024 and 2025 @BigTen opponents… 👀✌️

Excited to be launching a weekly column in the @smdailypress called "Things To Do This Weekend"! Here's the first one if you're looking for Westside ideas this holiday weekend: smdp.com/2023/05/25/things-t…
Great to see @ArdyParty_ write an @infatuation review for Cobi, but it's ridiculous to write the "neighborhood that can be stuck in its ways" when Main Street alone just got a Michelin star (Pasjoli) & has new buzzy restaurants like Crudo e Nudo, Vamos Vamos, & Augies on Main!
Disappointed in @Slate & editor @hilella for letting this week's @SlateCulture newsletter start with an unmarked ad for #FuzeBug and for shilling for a product with a 1 star rating #YouCanDoBetter
Thanks @BravoTV for spoiling this week’s @TopChef by making #LastChanceKitchen avail two days BEFORE the episode it’s based on aired. #Fail @tomcolicchio @PadmaLakshmi @gailsimmons
Costco: "We have cheap #gas at over 100 of our stores!"
@Walmart: "How cute. We're offer W+ customers cheap gas at over 10,000 stations without waiting in long Costco lines."
@Costco: "Ummm...you can buy cheap hot dogs & pizza while you wait in line."

As a SoCal resident, I can attest that #AmazonFresh has been crushing it here with great prices, great quality produce, large selection and fast delivery times. If they can scale this business model they will be a force to contend with #Amazon progressivegrocer.com/amazon…
Congrats #BenHarris and the rest of the @FrescoCooks team on this big step! It’s another proof point of the bright future for the smart kitchen. The Kitchen of Tomorrow will be the Kitchen of Today sooner than most expect. thespoon.tech/smart-kitchen-…
This Covid test fraud story is disturbing on so many levels. Shocked & appalled that the settlement doesn’t mandate @sameday_testing CEO step down nor that they close their businesses. Hopefully news spreads quickly and they go out of business. smdp.com/26-45-million-settl…
As much I like to hate on the SF Giants, I have to give them props for making history having Alyssa Nakken be the 1st woman to coach on field in regular-season game. At least I can mock their ridiculous uniforms for that game

New @BrickMeetsClick @mercatus study shows mixed results for online grocery over past year: Delivery up 20%, but online shopping down 6% overall. My take: Consumers see more value in never leaving sofa than physically going to store but not going inside brickmeetsclick.com/mar-2022…
Consumers spend $6.7B per month on online groceries...approx 2x pre-Covid numbers grocerydive.com/news/consume…
Of course Amazon is closing its bookstores...makes more sense to carve out a corner of their Whole Foods stores for non-grocery items grocerydive.com/news/amazon-…
Forget about #Albertsons selling groceries...it might be selling itself! I don't see any of the new entrants (e-grocers, ghost grocers, delivery services) making this kind of a move, but that would be exciting. Who do you think could make a play? progressivegrocer.com/albert…
#Instacart continues to expand past grocery delivery with meal offerings from #Quicklly as they focus on diversifying their business and growing into a smarter virtual shopping experience

Props to Target for expanding curbside pickup to include Starbucks and Returns; love seeing them layer on relevant services (instead of trying to go outside their competencies) to streamline the virtual shopping experience for both customers and Target! corporate.target.com/press/r…
Seems like every day a delivery company is announcing a partnership with a grocery partner...the latest is #Grubhub partnering with #Buyk prnewswire.com/news-releases…
#DoorDash has added yet another grocer (#Target) as they continue their push into challenging #Instacart for grocery delivery dominance grocerydive.com/news/target-…
Who else stresses over getting to pick #6 for WAYYYY longer than they care to admit? #Wordle
