RE: DEMOTION OVER HATEFUL TEXTS MOVES TO CENTER STAGE IN SHERIFF’S RACE, COVER, JUNE 20 This article exposes the true content of some seriously disturbing messaging between people who are in law enforcement and who are supposed to be above racism in their daily lives. Truly shameful. CONCERNED CITIZEN VIA SAN JOSE INSIDE

You were drunk. It was last call, and you incoherently mumbled a drink order to the bartender. She responded with a firm, "Go home!" to which you responded, "Well … maybe … you … home..." The bouncer dropped you right outside of the bar onto the street corner. You pulled out your phone to Uber home, but with your sweaty hands and compromised hand-eye coordination, it flew out of your grasp and screen-first into the cement. CRACK! I saw you freak out and curse the sky. You picked up your phone and started to walk further into downtown; maybe you could catch the 22 home. But then something changed, you started hopping up and down. You were trying to hold something in but you could no longer. You darted to a corner of the nearby parking garage and relieved yourself. I saw your face in that puddle; it was my puddle. I need to stop drinking tequila.

THE FLY

Majority Report

SVNEWS

Yet another report came out that puts the Alum Rock Union Elementary School District in a bad light. The Santa Clara County Civil Grand Jury weighed in on the dysfunction roiling the East San Jose school district with a call for the notoriously obstructionist board majority— trustees KHANH TRAN, ESAU HERRERA and DOLORES MARQUEZ—to resign.

The 24-page report also advises the board to cut ties with Del Terra Real Estate Services, the firm that’s suspected of fraud yet tasked with managing hundreds of millions of dollars in construction bonds. While civil grand jurors have no enforcement authority, reform advocates hope their findings will add enough pressure to finally convince Tran, Hererra and Marquez to step down. While the grand jury highlighted problems already cited in past probes, RAYMOND MUELLER—one of a handful of candidates running against the Alum Rock Three in November—says he hopes it spurs some action. “I think that it has provided a new energy,” Mueller says of the grand jury’s take. It also details some of Herrera’s intimidation tactics. According to the report, the bellicose They board president made Did a not-so-veiled threat What? against Alum Rock’s chief SEND TIPS TO business officer for calling FLY@ attention to some of Del METRONEWS. Terra’s questionable billing COM practices. “By the time I’m done with you, you won’t recognize your name,” Herrera reportedly said sometime in the fall of 2016. Trustee ANDRES QUINTERO, who’s running for re-election, says that’s pretty typical behavior for Herrera and his allies on the five-member board. “That was just the tip of the iceberg,” he says. “Those kinds of comments are common in closed sessions, but that was the first time it’s come out because someone came forward and corroborated it.” Quintero says he’s heartened to see more whistleblowers come forward. “There’s a board majority that’s out of control,” he says. “There’s really no other option but for these folks to leave.”

SEE NO EVIL Retired Undersheriff John Hirokawa has changed his mind about whether the county should have fired one of his biggest supporters.

Hero? Coward? Sheriff candidate John Hirokawa willfully ignored hateful texts from political ally BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH

URING AN ARBITRATION interview last year, John Hirokawa testified that demoting Sgt. Don Morrissey for his involvement in a texting scandal was “too severe.” Based on what he knows now, Hirokawa says the punishment wasn’t severe enough.

Last week, after a Metro story reignited the issue, the former Santa Clara County undersheriff says union president Morrissey should have been fired from the department—and he wants him to step down as Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (DSA) president. “Based on what’s being reported, based on the information that has been provided and that I had access to today,

then I would say yes,” he said on the subject of whether Morrissey should have been terminated. But Hirokawa—who’s challenging Sheriff Laurie Smith’s re-election this fall—has had many chances to learn the facts of the case and, by his own admission, chose not to. After a criminal probe initially unearthed the vile text messages three years ago, the Sheriff ’s Office convened a series of all-hands-ondeck meetings to deal with the flurry of media coverage. The 2015 discussions involved top brass, communications staff and private public relations consultants gathered around a conference table, passing around a binder full of some of the 3,000 texts, which included references to “kikes,” “gooks,” a “shemale,” “nig nogs” and “yard apes.”

“How many soups to have your ass licked?” Morrissey quipped in one thread mocking inmates exchanging sexual favors for commissary items. In another, he responded to a colleague’s joke about an “irritated cunt” by asking if it referred to Sheriff Smith. It was a first-of-its-kind scandal for the agency, which was still reeling from unprecedented scrutiny after three jail guards beat a mentally ill inmate to death a few months prior. As second-in-command and head of the jails, Hirokawa took part in the huddles alongside Smith. They talked about the racist, sexist, transphobic content of the texts exchanged among about a dozen officers, including the heads of two unions. It was a public relations nightmare, a uniquely digital-era problem at a time of mounting public distrust of law enforcement nationwide. In a June 22 interview, Hirokawa said he made a point of not cracking open that binder because he believed that reading the texts would violate the privacy rights of the senders. “There was still a concern that … we’re sharing personnel records with people who don’t have a right to know, in violation of personnel law,” Hirokawa said of his mindset at the time. When an independent investigative

no place in law enforcement. But concerns about her retaliating against Morrissey prompted the county to hire an independent investigator. When the disciplinary review board comprised of her command staff recommended demotion, the sheriff deferred and signed off. “[T]he record evidence shows that the sheriff had no direct involvement in the disciplinary process resulting in [Morrissey’s] demotion,” attorney Morris Davis wrote in his arbitration opinion. “Thus, all of the statements attributed to others, regarding the sheriff ’s purported dislike of [Morrissey] or implied animus, are unsubstantiated hearsay and therefore insufficient evidence to prove retaliation.” As a high-ranking official in the Sheriff ’s Office, Hirokawa had access to documents that would have shown the full context of the quoted texts and detailed Morrissey’s complicity. Even as a retiree and aspiring sheriff, he then could have read the articles about the case and made a determination about whether to talk to Morrissey about it. But until recent days, Hirokawa’s response to the scandal consistently mentioned the rights of the officers as his primary concern. Morrissey’s baggage, which dates back to his first demotion in 2012 for surfing porn at work, affects more than just his own reputation. He represents a union of more than 500 officers, some of whom say they will withdraw their membership unless Morrissey and his No. 2, Roger Winslow, resign. It also affects Hirokawa’s election bid. Forcing Smith into a runoff for the first time in two decades was a huge win. But instead of riding high off that victory, Hirokawa went on the defensive—all because Morrissey put his personal battle to regain his rank over the political interests of union members. In trying to get his sergeant stripes back, the labor leader unsealed his arbitration ruling and forced Hirokawa to publicly reckon with Morrissey’s checkered past. Now, the union has to answer to its members. “In our law enforcement profession, we are no strangers to being tried in the court of public opinion before facts have a chance to be evaluated,” the DSA board wrote in an email to members Tuesday, promising to make Morrissey available for one-on-one meetings upon request. “This current environment is no different.”

team led by retired Oakland police chief Howard Jordan hammered out a draft report on the case about three months later, Hirokawa was tasked with editing it. Instead of meticulously poring over the 26-page document, however, Hirokawa said he skipped to the end and merely “skimmed” the findings. Weighing in too heavily would have compromised the investigation’s integrity, he explained. “And, you know,” he said with nervous laughter, “it looked all good to me.” When Morrissey contested the demotion, Hirokawa again raised concerns about privacy and free speech rights, and whether the texts were sent on or off duty. Hirokawa maintains that at no point since 2015 did he read the content of the text messages or realize which ones Morrissey personally sent or responded to. When he sought the DSA’s endorsement in late 2017, he said he never broached the subject with the embattled union president. The DSA spent $186,828.35 in independent expenditures to promote Hirokawa’s candidacy in the June 2018 primary. At a county Democratic Club meeting in May, Stanford University law professor Michele Dauber asked Hirokawa about how he would handle a similar scandal as sheriff. Again, he responded by citing confidentiality and distancing himself from the Morrissey case. “I had nothing to do with it,” he said. “I was not part of that.” Dauber had to repeat her query. “The question I asked was how do you think that should have been handled and how would you handle it if you were elected and something like that happens?” “If somebody is sending racist texts while on duty, I believe they should be fired,” Hirokawa finally offered without naming Morrissey or saying how he’d deal with off-duty texts. “But again, I don’t have access to all the personnel records.” Only in the past week did Hirokawa single out Morrissey. The day Metro published a story about an arbitration ruling that upheld his demotion, Hirokawa said he called Morrissey and urged him to step down. Hirokawa says Sheriff Smith should have fired Morrissey if she felt so strongly about it. Smith said from the beginning that Morrissey should have

An inside look at San Jose politics

MOVING ON Independent police auditor Aaron Zisser said he already addressed

the concerns raised by San Jose’s police union.

Police Watchdog Denies Union’s Claims of Misconduct BY JENNIFER WADSWORTH San Jose’s official police watchdog has been accused of misconduct for omitting raw data from an annual report in a way that misled the public about racial disparities and physical force. The police union is now calling for an outside investigation to determine if independent police auditor Aaron Zisser should be removed from office. Zisser, however, said the concern cited by the San Jose Police Officers’ Association (POA) has already been addressed in a revised report he presented to the City Council this week. “They keep repeating the same thing, that I wasn’t willing to make the changes requested by the council,” Zisser said. “That’s absolutely not true.” In a letter to the council, however, the POA called the omission from the May report evidence of bias and a violation of city charter. “The

decision to file this formal complaint was not taken lightly,” the POA wrote in a letter authorized by 500 union members. “The police officers that serve our city must adhere to the highest standards of ethics and conduct in the performance of their official duties, and when they do not meet these standards, then they are held accountable. We, as well as yourself, the city council, and the residents of San Jose, should expect no less from the individual appointed to oversee the members of the police department.” The missive takes issue with a passage from an earlier draft of Zisser’s year-end report in which he noted that white suspects are more than 2½ times more likely than minorities to come away from useof-force incidents with no charges. What he neglected to include were the raw numbers, which, according

to the POA, would have shown that he based that statement on a small enough sample size to render the findings statistically insignificant. Though it was apparently lost in translation, Zisser said, one of the points he was trying to make in the passage in question was about the limitations of SJPD’s public online use-of-force database. Regardless, the police auditor has since corrected that part of the annual review, among a few other changes. Zisser said he met with City Manager Dave Sykes and SJPD Chief Eddie Garcia the morning after that council meeting to address those concerns. The latest version of the report has been online since last week. “Everyone else has moved on, and the POA has not,” Zisser said. “It’s time to move forward and actually do the work.”

San Jose Council Members Renounce GOP President Donald Trump’s controversial family separation policy prompted some South Bay officials to leave the Republican Party. San Jose City Council members Dev Davis and Johnny Khamis announced their decision at a press conference Monday, calling Trump’s authoritarian immigration policies unethical and unjustified. Khamis, an immigrant from Lebanon, said he could never imagine being separated from his parents after fleeing a war and their home country and that it’s unconscionable that the president would inflict that suffering on so many children. “I’m not leaving the party,” he told reporters. “I feel that the party has left me.” Davis said she began to consider renouncing the GOP after Trump’s remark about their being good people “on both sides” of the clash at the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, last year, and again after the administration’s repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). “But when Trump began separating asylum seekers from their children at the border, I could no longer wait for national Republican leaders to speak up,” Davis said from a podium outside City Hall earlier this week. “I could not bear to see or even think about the unnecessary and traumatizing separation of children from their parents.” The District 6 councilwoman said her personal values haven’t changed; the Republican Party’s have. But that doesn’t mean she’s crossing the aisle. Both council members said they’ll register as “no party preference.” —Jennifer Wadsworth

Every year the SVLaureate program recognizes achievement in the arts and creative contributions to Silicon Valley cultural life. This year, a former professor of mine, Joel Slayton, received a brand-new award called the SVNexus Award for those who pioneered efforts at the intersection of arts and technology. I owe Joel a lot, going back to the SJSU Art Department when he was a professor, an artist

and the genre-shattering hero in charge of the CADRE Institute, an acronym for Computers in Art, Design, Research and Education. At CADRE, Joel presided over a radical interdisciplinary goulash of unclassifiable exploits, essentially the managing partner in a lawless firm of art raconteurs. CADRE was one of the places where I first started to find myself as a writer. That was the mid-’90s, and as I sat there in the Mexican Heritage Theater watching the awards show, I recalled being the first person to run the soundboard in that theater when it first opened. At the time, I was in way over my head and didn’t know what I was doing, so the opening of that complex made me quit doing live sound and instead focus on writing. Nowadays, the dude operating the sound, Rob Riddle, knows exactly what he’s doing, and he and I were students of Joel’s, in the same class, about 23 years ago. Decades before that, the parcel on which the theater

now sits was the site of one of the first grocery store boycotts for farmworkers’ rights that Cesar Chavez organized in the ’60s. These types of vibrations, in which everything and everyone are connected, fueled the rest of my weekend. Later that evening, I slithered through the plaza named after Cesar Chavez in downtown San Jose to watch the Awesome Orchestra play the Twin Peaks theme for a few dozen people. There were more people on stage than in the park, and since the rest of the neighborhood was dead as a doorknob, I could hear the orchestra all the way on Second Street. It was very David Lynchian. The next night, though, after Tony! Toni! Tone! drew thousands to Plaza de Cesar Chavez for Music in the Park, Vincent Herring tore up the Cafe Stritch stage for a capacity crowd, including fans who frequented the Ajax Lounge upstairs 25 years ago. I attended the VIP soft opening for Ajax in 1991. Everything and everyone is connected. On the mezzanine level of Stritch overlooking the floor, where I’m sitting as I write this column, I have fond memories of Metro’s editorial staff meeting every Thursday in 2003, when the restaurant was called Eulipia. Steve Borkenhagen would bring us coffee and bagels. The very next day, June 23, right back in Plaza de Cesar Chavez, the 37th Annual San Jose Fountain Blues & Brews Festival unfolded in the searing heat. The festival used to be free at SJSU in the early ’90s. Everyone could bring in their own beer, drink all day and then pass out on the lawn. I once skipped work to do exactly that. Those days are long gone, but the festival is evolving just fine. Finally, Sunday morning was Fil Maresca’s birthday celebration in the same Plaza de Cesar Chavez, with the impossibly talented singer, San Jose’s own Jackie Gage, doing two sets beginning at high noon. Fil used to own the F/X nightclub, now the Ritz, and used to hold Twin Peaksthemed events 26 years ago. Jackie, who now lives near Manhattan, even performed a new song she wrote about San Jose and how she misses living here. Everyone is one degree of separation from everyone else. Kevin Bacon would be proud, and I feel much less isolated.

14 BUGGING OUT Santa Clara

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | JUNE 27-JULY 3, 2018

University undergrads, some as young as 18, helped collect data from a NASA satellite studying E. coli bacteria.

S A PROFESSIONAL photographer, Mike Rasay has shot three NBA Finals, but he prefers the excitement of his day job at Santa Clara University, where he’s the head of day-to-day operations for the school’s satellite program. Long seen as the little sister to Stanford University, SCU’s satellite program owns the impressive distinction of being the only university to trust undergraduate students as operators of NASA missions. Now working on his PhD, Rasay started in this lab as an undergraduate and said he still “gets more excited” while controlling objects in orbit than taking shots of Steph Curry.

“There’s a bunch of people who have worked an NBA Finals before,” Rasay explains. “There are a very select number of people who have operated a NASA spacecraft.” In their previous mission, SCU students and staff acted as betatesters and mission operators for a satellite that was ejected from the International Space Station and sent into low orbit. Within the machine, an experiment tested E. coli bacteria’s ability to survive the higher radiation and lower gravity of space so as to learn more about the fundamentals of biology on Earth and beyond. The satellite was dubbed

students in space Some undergrads live to party. At Santa Clara University they control NASA satellites BY JOHN FLYNN

“EcAMSat,” short for “E. coli AntiMicrobial Satellite.” And over the course of several months, the Santa Clara students succeeded in retrieving all the data they needed from the satellite. Now it’s up to scientists at NASA’s Ames Research Center to make something of the information. Head of the Robotic Systems Lab, Dr. Chris Kitts says this is the 12th successful mission that SCU has done in partnership with Ames. After working for the Air Force, then Ames, Kitts now oversees a diverse laboratory and started working with NASA about 15 years ago as their research-focused facility needed help

crafting an affordable satellite to house their experiments. A non-profit backed by educational grants and populated with an eager workforce, SCU became an ideal, if at first unconventional, partner. Over their 12 successful missions, SCU’s undergraduate and graduate students have not only beta-tested missions and operated them, but also worked on everything from the design of satellites, to communication software, to the processing and analyzing of data. The reasons against making undergraduates mission operators

are obvious: They’re young and inexperienced, so they could make a mistake that would ruin a mission in search of valuable data that took years to develop. But Kitts and Rasay have developed a system that simultaneously minimizes risk while providing students with the valuable experience they need to go on to industry-related jobs at companies like SpaceX. Not to mention it helps out with NASA Ames’ bottom line. Grant Mishler, who just finished up his undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering at SCU and worked on E. coli mission, says he thinks its more than a fair trade. “I

think that’s something that we kind of pride ourselves on,” Mishler says, referring to the fact that undergrads and grad students run the day to day operations—pulling data down from the satellites and performing basic troubleshooting. “We can do it, and we will do it for less,” he continues. “I would say that we offer NASA a competitive deal.”

THE COMMAND CENTER In late February, Kitts, Rasay and satellite lead for the E. coli mission,

STUDENTS IN SPACE

SEMESTER IN SPACE The E. coli AntiMicrobial Satellite (EcAMSat), left, investigated space microgravity effects on the antibiotic resistance of E. coli. The satellite was launched from the International Space Station, right.

Leland Taylor, a graduate student, showed off the command center, featuring big screens that tracked the progress of their satellite, which relies on gravity, not rocket thrusters, to circle the planet. In this room on the second floor of a nondescript office building, this team can’t help but geek out a bit when they talk to robots floating in space. “When you watch the undergrads, who are all kind of space nerds, and they actually get to talk to something in space for the first time, they’re jumping up and down.” Taylor says. “I still jump up and down.” For his part, Mishler says his first time working on the EcAMSat console was a thrill. “It was probably about 2am, I’d say,” Mishler remembers. “I was fresh back from Thanksgiving, a little bit sleepy, but I was super excited.” Mishler and the rest of his fellow undergrads, some as young as 18, did a lot of waiting while working in the satellite lab—especially in the beginning when they were still trying to dial in the tiny craft’s movements. The EcAMSat is about as big as a shoebox and it was launched from the International Space Station at about the same time as a few other satellites, so one of the first things the

Santa Clara team needed to do was get fix on its exact location in the sky. That meant pointing satellite dishes in the direction of where they believed the EcAMSat would pass overhead and then hoping to grab its signal in a short window of time— about 10 minutes. “So I’m basically looking at a command line and seeing the commands go through,” Mishler says of his first early morning session on the EcAMSat desk. “Then all of a sudden you get this huge burst of data on your screen. It’s super exciting to see that. Now we’re in full-on mission mode. It’s time to grab as much data as we can.”

HAM-SOURCING Rasay started working with Kitts nearly 20 years ago as an undergraduate. He left for a few years, then returned to SCU to finish his master’s and start a PhD. Combined with Kitts’ ample experience operating spacecraft, the duo acts as a “safety net” for the students that run the bulk of the mission. “Had we dropped the ball at any point we would have been sacked, and rightly so,” Kitts says. “But we have procedures, there’s a

checklist, everybody has a defined role. [Students] learn how to act in an operational sense. And once we did it enough, and we demonstrated our capability, we realized we were providing professional services.” Although NASA is known for its rockets, at a more research-focused institute like Ames, scientists occasionally lack the budget to finance a satellite that will take their experiment up into space. As Mishner observed, SCU can offer its services more cheaply than a corporation like Lockheed Martin on account of the university’s non-profit status and pool of cheap student labor. But there are other tricks that Kitts has deployed to keep costs down. To build his satellites on a budget, Kitts says he’s taken some guidance from the “rabid” HAM radio community that pioneered methods in satellite design with the mentality of “accepting high risk, but being ultra-low-cost and kind of having fun with it.” Some innovations include using a measuring tape as an antenna, using magnets to orient a spacecraft and filling the empty space around a vessel’s internal mechanisms with anchoring foam, rather than meticulously mounting everything.

Kitts says the very first spacecraft SCU was contracted to make contained a HAM radio beacon as a backup data transmitter should the primary radio fail. Both ended up working, but Kitts and Rasay decided to keep the HAM radio transmitter on board for every subsequent mission. The transmitter now mostly functions to supply the team with a status report on roughly 10 data points for the satellite. “With 10 different data points on a satellite, I got a pretty good idea if all hell’s broken loose or if things are looking okay,” Kitts says. This data is accessible to everybody with the proper equipment, and SCU relies upon partners across the country, from universities to dudes in their garage, to help snag the data when the satellite passes overhead. Since the satellite doesn’t have thrusters, Kitts explains that students rely on

17 a result, “we’re up a lot of late hours,” says Taylor, the satellite lead. Here they confess the mission command center is mildly misleading. The big screen TVs are for visiting students or journalists who have come to expect these spaces to look a certain way—large digital maps tracking satellites, live feeds of antennae and the like. In reality, the whole mission can be run off a laptop, eliminating the need to get out of bed at 3am. In fact, the original software for all of these missions was made partly by Rasay, back before controlling robots via the internet was commonplace. Mishler says he took a few things away from the Spartan equipment that he and his labmates used to control a NASA satellite. “You can have a lot of technology that does a lot of fancy things, but at the end of the day it’s important that you know what’s going on at that high level,” Mishler says, referencing the crew of Apollo 13, who had to use some pretty basic technology—like duct tape—to fix their malfunctioning spacecraft. “HAM radio is a very tried and true communications platform. It’s

definitely not as fancy of some of the other ways of communicating, but the simplicity and ruggedness of HAM radio allows you to keep getting information about the satellite.”

A BUG’S LIFE The most recent mission required the students to download the information about the E. coli’s reaction to the environment in space—data that had never been collected before. Led by Stanford’s A.C. Matin, the mission’s principal investigator, the research will provide insights to improve astronaut health while expanding knowledge regarding the possibilities of life in the universe. “There are lots of things on the biology side of things that we don’t really understand,” Rasay says with a bit of humility. “But the notion of what they’re trying to explore is cool.” Because of Rasay and Kitts’ support, these students gather the valuable practical skills that are often unattainable in the classroom— learning the basic etiquette of how to work in a professional environment, taking charge of their situation without waiting for a professor’s go-ahead and developing the confidence to repeat this style of work in the future. An undergraduate student named Grant had been working on a senior project that would attach a weight to the end of a tape measure to give an antenna extra directionality. But to work at this level is a rare treat for students, who get a taste of the bigtime in a lab stocked with loads of multidisciplinary experts to bounce problems off of. Beyond just building valuable experience for future jobs, communicating with something in space is a pretty neat perk that they can’t get anywhere else. For Rasay and Kitts, the arrangement satisfies their academic and professional desires, since they’re able to advance research, teach novice engineers the ropes and pursue projects on par with anyone else in the field. “Part of it is, we understand that this is an extra thing that will distinguish our graduates,” Kitts says. “And part of it is, we enjoy it. My goodness, you see the kind of stuff we’re doing. I’d get so bored if we weren’t doing this.”

passive techniques for adjusting the craft—such as using magnets that orient the spacecraft to correspond to the Earth’s magnetic poles. As a result, the satellite isn’t always in an optimal position to send and receive information. But with the help of their partners, SCU’s mission operators can mitigate their risks and ensure they’re doing the right thing. “If it comes overhead, and we’re talking to the spacecraft, the contact opportunity is really only on the order of minutes,” Rasay says. “So you can’t look at a piece of data and go, ‘Holy crap, I gotta do something,’ and then figure out a plan to do it. You really do need to think out all the scenarios because if you send a command that’s going to then kill the spacecraft, you’ve got a brick.” As a result of the passive techniques, the mission operators are at the mercy of physics. The shifts come in six- to 12-hour increments that are not beholden to the Pacific Time Zone. As

FRENCH CONFECTION One taste and you’ll be hooked on the delicious pastries at Mademoiselle Colette in Menlo Park.

Bonjour, Colette Posh patisserie Mademoiselle Colette brings taste of Paris to Peninsula BY AVI SALEM

N ANY GIVEN morning, Mademoiselle Colette isn’t hard to find: Just follow the line that snakes out of the quaint patisserie's doors every day— or simply let your nose guide you toward the sweet smell of freshly baked croissant. Located in the heart of downtown Menlo Park, Mademoiselle Colette brings French authenticity to the Peninsula in the form of beautifully baked pastries, a range of elegant desserts, and a traditional French brunch and lunch menu. Led by Debora

Ferrand, an Atherton resident by way of Brazil then France, the cafe’s pastries have inspired looks of awe and feelings of joy since its opening in 2015 and have remained so popular over the years that they sell out most days. Once you get a glance at the elegant pastry case that runs down the length of the cafe, you’ll understand why. It’s hard to choose just one or two of the dozen or so varieties of confections Mademoiselle Colette neatly displays on a rotating basis—from tartlets and brioche to eclairs and cheesecake—simply because of how ornately decorated and visually enticing they all look.

I stopped in on a Sunday morning close to 10am, and a line was already forming out the door. Popular items like Colette’s classic butter croissant were close to sold out, so I opted to cover all my bases by ordering staples, like the plain and almond croissants ($3.75, $5) as well as a morning citrus roll ($4.75) and a raspberry and vanilla tarte aux sucre ($4.75). The croissants were both as big as my outstretched hand—large enough to appease any American’s standard for size—but baked so expertly that even the French could be fooled. Beautifully crisp and flakey on the outside, the croissant was melt-in-your-mouth airy and light. The almond croissant was a standout, however, and was loaded with a flavorful almond paste that was rich but not overwhelmingly sweet. The morning citrus roll had similar laminated pastry layers as the croissants, but contained equal bits of soft, candied citrus peel and raisins in its center. Crispy on the outside, the center was chewy but not underbaked. The raspberry and vanilla tarte was small but jam-packed with flavor, each bite containing fresh raspberries. The

velvety vanilla base tasted creamier than it did sweet, but complemented the fresh fruit nicely. Two of the more elaborate pastries offered were the merveilleux and French lemon tart ($8.50 each), both of which are Mademoiselle Colette specialties that came highly recommended by the staff. Merveilleux, which means “wonderful” in French, is truly just that: a melange of dark chocolate mousse and hard meringue is encased in a perfectly even, spherical orb of hardened chocolate, making for one of the most decadent and visually attractive desserts I’ve ever had. The lemon tart was adorned just as elegantly, topped with marshmallowy French meringue and filled with tangy lemon custard that balanced out the meringue’s candy-like sweetness. In addition to the range of sweets on display, Mademoiselle Colette offers a full lunch menu Monday through Saturday that includes a range of French or French-inspired salads, sandwiches and soups. A special Sunday brunch menu offers eggs benedict and eggs florentine, french toast with housemade brioche, croissant sandwiches, and the classic croque madame and monsieur. I decided on Colette’s special ($14) which came with two perfectly poached eggs, braised asparagus spears and a generous amount of hollandaise sauce, and was served on a thick slice of focaccia-like bread. While I’m not usually a fan of hollandaise, Colette’s was an exception: It was flavorful but not overwhelmingly saucy or goopy and absorbed into the bread nicely. It’s important to note that everything at Mademoiselle Colette is made from organic, local and seasonal ingredients, apart from the butter used in their confections—that’s flown in all the way from France. Internationally sourced butter could be a reason why Colette’s handcrafted pastries are pricier than most, but they’re well worth their cost when you consider the technique and craft that goes into each croissant.

For more than a decade now, San Jose promoter, hip-hop head and all around awesome dude, Andrew Moyco (a.k.a. AudioDru) has been organizing The Cypher. It’s been a place for local emcees and turntablists to strut their stuff and test their bars. It’s also hosted Open Mike Eagle, Hieroglyphics, Sirah, Kung Fu Vampire and Dirtbag Dan. Unfortunately, all things must pass. Moyco hasn’t ruled out continuing to host The Cypher on a monthly or quarterly basis, but for now the final party is slated for this week.

Known among Warriors fans for his Bay Area ballin’ anthem “Dub Talk,” this San Jose emcee celebrates the release of his new single, “The Go To”—featuring the buzzworthy Berkeley singer and rapper Rexx Life Raj. Fresh off the release of his three-song EP Abstract, Apollo is looking to keep up his momentum and reach a wider audience. A dextrous rhymer, Anthony is as comfortable with blurry sing-song trap—peep his wobbly SoundCloud downer “Mannequin”—as he is with triumphant and funky flows, as he demonstrates over soulful samples on “Octopus Flow.” Free entry before 10:30pm and $10 after.

Swing on by the Poor House for some spicy Cajun bites, refreshing brew and a set by veteran blues musician Chris Cain. Though he can handle just about every instrument in his band, the San Jose-born Cain is mostly known for his inspired guitar playing and soulful voice. He’s shared the stage with many blues greats, including Albert King and Albert Collins. Cain will be joined by his uber-talented band—keyboardist Greg Rahn, bassist Steve Evans and drummer Mick Mestek with high energy and soulful sound. (DI)

Spiller might have started in Eugene, Oregon, but the band is made up of members from San Jose, Maui, Lake Tahoe and Hong Kong. A band of transplants and nomads, Spiller’s sound is equally nomadic and exploratory, including elements of ’90s indie rock like Karate and Tortoise, swelling choruses of radio emo grandeur and improvisatory passages of modal guitar interplay. It’s a complex sound that comes off as comfortable, assured and at least a little playful. They return to San Jose behind two new singles, “Cowboy Bill” and “Dancy,” both released in May. (MH)

Formed in 1995, San Jose-bred Monkey earned a strong local following with an upbeat twotone sound. Their prestige on the local scene led to them winning a Bay Area Music award—or Bammy—back in 1999. Despite ska’s waning popularity in the years following, the band kept true to its original vision, and they have been rewarded for their conviction. These South Bay ska veterans are still skanking and drawing devoted fans. They celebrate the release of their sixth album, Intermittent Waves, along with F.T.B. and Fulminante at The Ritz. (NV)

The story goes like this: In 2011, Mayer came across the Dead on Spotify. It changed his life, man… Several years later, in 2015, he struck up a relationship with Bob Weir after trading licks with the founding Dead guitarist on late night TV.

NATION OF BILLIONS James Crabtree will discuss his new book, ‘The Billionaire Raj: A Journey Through India’s New Gilded Age,’ at Books Inc.

Mumbai Money ‘Billionaire Raj’ author James Crabtree details the lives of India’s elite BY GARY SINGH

HE BILLIONAIRE RAJ: A Journey Through India’s New Gilded Age begins with a car crash. Someone related to India’s richest person, Mukesh Ambani, smashes up a $700,000 Aston Martin; no one’s held accountable. At the time, author James Crabtree was Mumbai bureau chief for The Financial Times, a job that led him to write his new book, which explores the shadowy billionaires and crooked power brokers who have driven India’s growth over the last few decades.

Since The Billionaire Raj is essentially a business book, we get doses of statistics, analytics, Forbes lists and all the things that seem to fascinate business writers. But these data points never bog down the story. In Crabtree’s attempt at evenhandedness, he speaks with sycophantic admirers of crony capitalism, those who think mass corruption is justifiable if economic growth is vast enough, yet he also tracks down numerous journalists, activists and academics who’ve been muck-raking through the slime for years. The first section of the book, aptly titled “Robber Barons,” introduces us to business magnates hell-bent on becoming the Vanderbilts or

Rockefellers of India. We meet the reclusive Ambani and the $2 billion, 27-story residential skyscraper he built for his family. In Mumbai, a city where half of the 18 million residents live in slums, Ambani’s residence includes a few gyms, a yoga studio, a soccer pitch, a basketball court and six stories of parking to house the family’s car collection. Upon construction, its energy bill tipped the scales at $100,000 a month. The building, writes Crabtree, “hinted at an existence that was part burlesque fantasy, part oligarch mansion, part Bond villain lair: a city within a city, and a barrier against the chaos below.” We also briefly meet Vijay Mallya, the fallen billionaire, the wannabe “Branson of Bangalore,” a failed beer and airline tycoon now exiled in the UK and buried in debt, facing fraud charges if he ever returns to India. When talking to Crabtree, he complains that he can no longer watch the Monaco Grand Prix from his yacht every year. There’s also Gautam Adami, the self-made industrialist, the “Quiet Tycoon” who built the largest private port on India’s west coast, as well as his

own railways and power lines. Adami is a perpetual crony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi going back to the latter’s days as an aspiring autocrat in Gujarat. In a wonderful way, The Billionaire Raj functions like the logical flipside of masterpieces like Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found, in which Suketu Mehta painted a rich, evocative, multisensory pastiche of Bombay’s underbelly—including the ganglords and the real estate graft, plus the violence, poverty, prostitution, bribery and crooked cops—or even a book like Nine Lives: In Search of the Sacred in Modern India, in which William Dalrymple investigated extreme fringes of religious practice in nine specific cases. The Billionaire Raj is the shiny business-writer yin to the dark yang of those other books. And to Crabtree’s credit even more, he does mention books like The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga and Beyond the Beautiful Forevers by Katherine Boo, both of which are dark portrayals of class struggles that underpin the booms and busts Crabtree lucidly documents. What emerges most candidly in The Billionaire Raj is that corruption and “pay for access” politics are simply part of the fabric of Indian society. In a fantastic chapter called, “Cronyism Goes South,” we learn about Jayaram Jayalalithaa, the autocratic and reclusive politician in the southern area of Tamil Nadu, who, before her death, was a cult figure plastered on billboards for decades. Later, we get to meet Arnab Goswami, the hyperbolic TV newscaster with ambitions to create a global Indian competitor to CNN and Al-Jazeera. In each case, cronyism reigns free. Nevertheless, India is still the world’s largest remaining emerging market with much untapped potential, leaving Crabtree optimistic. The country shouldn’t morph into a tyrannical oligarchy like Russia, he writes. It should welcome its own equivalent of America’s progressive era, during which the Gilded Age of tycoons eventually gave way to antitrust laws, competition policies, mass investment in public services, and eventually the New Deal.

EXHIBIT

Machine Learning

WHILE PARENTS MIGHT see a budding Michelangelo in the Lego creations of their kids, others likely find it difficult to discern any form in the meandering block structures that spring from the minds of children. So, it would be understandable to also doubt a machine’s ability to recognize the intention behind the artistic representations of tots. However, that day may soon be at hand. The Tech Museum of Innovation’s newest artificial intelligencepowered attraction demonstrates just how, by pulling visitors into an immersive experience that bridges the realms of technology and art. Titled “Animaker,” the new exhibit showcases the capabilities of AIequipped robots to recognize physical creations and bring them to life through computer-generated animation. The latest addition to The Tech’s media studio of Animaker digital experiences—Reboot Reality—“Animaker” stands out from everything else around it. Upon 10am-5pm daily entering, visitors are greeted by faint jungle sounds The Tech Museum as they step onto artificial grass. Before them, a thetech.org projection of a colorful cartoon temple surrounded by palm trees and snaking vines. Using Lego and Duplo bricks, visitors take their best shot at building one of a number of predetermined animals to see if the computer can identify what they meant to create. Building an animal out of Lego bricks is easier said than done. I decided to attempt the tortoise. Different visual examples of a selected animal are displayed on a nearby screen to help those (like me) who are stuck on how to start building. While I knew what my block creation was supposed to be, I thought it likely that most would only see a green pyramid. I placed my completed Lego creation on a rotating platform so it could be scanned in 3D, watching as a visual representation of the scan showed my crude reptile covered in a digital net. I was surprised. Once the scan was complete, a picture of a tortoise popped up on the screen along with the words “Is this your animal?” The computer doesn’t always get it right, though. And when it fails, the scanned image is saved to the machine’s database. This introduces more variations of model types that the machine can use to recognize a given animal. Since the exhibit’s public opening on June 15, “Animaker” has collected more than 2,000 uploads of model images from visitors. —Winona Rajamohan

DINO DADDY Chris Pratt reprises his role as the hunky raptor-whisperer in ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.’

Lizard Kings

The running and screaming gets tiresome in ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ BY RICHARD VON BUSACK

EFF GOLDBLUM HAS the best job in the world. One of the better facets of the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is his bracketing performance, kvetching at a congressional panel that we’ve let the genie out of the bottle, awakened a sleeping giant, played God, etc. Just as a soldier’s life is lots of boredom seasoned with moments of panic, Dr. Ian Malcolm’s job is being a professional worrywart occasionally fleeing satansauruses. His PhD was apparently in Naysayology.

He’s an odd figure in a blockbuster. Since Spielberg hired Francois Truffaut for Close Encounters of the Third Kind, is Malcolm is supposed to be a surrogate for Jean-Luc Godard, laying criticism with a heavy hand on all this commercial business? His most deathless line is in Jurassic Park: The Lost World, “‘Ooh, ahh,’ that’s always how it starts, and then later, there’s running and screaming.” There is a surfeit of running and screaming in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, done mostly by Bryce Dallas Howard, whose relation to the far more interesting Laura Dern is like the difference between the first movie and this tired and strangely vicious sequel. The novel side is that Fallen Kingdom is staged as a haunted house tale, at a

fuzzily CGI’d manor as big as Hearst Castle, built somewhere in Humboldt County. Through the spooky halls creatures get loose, including a weaponized monstrousaurus stalking a little girl, Maisie (Isabella Sermon). Three years after we saw the ruin of Jurassic World, Isla Nublar has been struck with a cataclysmic volcano. Do-gooders around the nation are protesting to Save the Dinosaurs. The former head of the park, Claire Dearing (Howard) works a phone bank to lobby the US government. A philanthropist (Rafe Spall) calls up: He has a fortune to spend at the behest of a wealthy partner in the original Jurassic Park, Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell in a wheelchair and oxygen tank role). He lives in splendor with his beloved granddaughter Maisie and her nanny (Geraldine Chaplin; director Juan Antonio Bayona previously cast her in his The Orphanage). Led by Claire and her ex-lover, the studly velociraptor-whisperer Owen (Chris Pratt), a team is sent to get the Jurassic World electronics rebooted so that the critters can be tracked and taken to a new sanctuary. Among these dino-hunters are a pair of San

Franciscans: scaredy-cat programmer Franklin (Justice Smith) and the tougher biologist colleague Zia (the film’s standout Daniella Pineda), who is perhaps a Marine vet, since she has a ‘Semper Fi’ tattoo. Owen searches the lava flows for his friend, loyal ol’ Blue the Velociraptor; Claire punches keyboards, screams and runs. Director Bayona gives this a morose, realistic side. Aspects of the movie resemble a day at a bad zoo, where the animals are stuck in claustrophobic, insufficiently cleaned cages. The fang and claw battles hurt. The deaths have too much bathos to be much fun. And there’s material that’s hard to justify: Whose idea was it to reference to the Schindler’s List death-camp shower scene with a mixed pack of dinosaurs? Some relief arrives from Ted Levine as an evil mercenary, who you certainly can’t wait to see eaten. And Toby Jones excels as a predatory millionaire with an odd accent (he sounds like a Texan ventriloquist’s dummy). Bayona and his editor Bernat Vilaplana are deft with matching edits, such as when the butting of a pachycephalosaurus cuts to the pounding of a gavel. As with the serpents’ faces in Snakes on a Plane, the animators have some fun with the lead monster. It smirks like the crocodile in Peter Pan as it hunts, sometimes tapping a single footlong claw. It’s odd watching Northern California become humanity’s last stand again; one wonders if there’s going to be a Redwood empire-set Planet of the ApesJurassic Park crossover. As for Malcolm, ushering in the sequel and delivering the final warning, he’s of a sci-fi tradition but not in it. He’s the traditional white-coated doctor making his warnings about the doors mankind must not open. The big difference is that he’s a black-coated doctor—a look in academic circles that has been described as “intellectual thug,” as when, for some reason, he wore his leather jacket to the tropics in the first Jurassic Park. Someone pays him really good money to scoff and complain, and naturally that stimulates envy in a certain type of watcher. Dr. Ian Malcolm needs a Twitter feed.

REVIEW

JUNE 27-JULY 3, 2018 | metrosiliconvalley.com | sanjose.com | metroactive.com

SECONDS PLEASE The ‘Ant-Man’ sequel, ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ is far more fun than the first installment.

Solace of Quantums IT’S A TERRIBLE thing to lose your mother, particularly when she shrinks down to a nano-particle. Hope (Evangeline Lilly) is the daughter of the original superhero Wasp (Michelle Pfeiffer), who vanished, shrinking suit and all, into the inner-space labyrinth decades ago. Her father, the original Ant-Man, crusty Dr. Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) raised Hope alone. During Scott Lang’s sojourn in the infinitesimal, he picked up a signal from the lost Wasp. Unfortunately, Scott (Paul Rudd) is in no legal position to help Hank and Hope, being under house arrest for violating the Sokovia Accords, as seen in Captain America: Civil Wars. (His probation is enforced by Randall Park, a soft-witted FBI agent whose vocation— “youth pastor”—says it all.) Ant-Man and An all-important gizmo of some sort is in play between the Wasp the Pyms, a folksy but lethal arms dealer (Walton Goggins) and the tormented sufferer of “molecular dis2 hrs; PG-13 equilibrium” known as Ghost (Hannah John-Kamen, far Opens Jul 5 more interesting than she was in Ready Player One). Freed valleywide (illegally) from his ankle collar, Scott still has problems with his daughter Cassie (the charming Abby Ryder Fortson) who calls him when he’s tied up and being interrogated by a villain. In addition to all the superhero color—the fights and aerial madness— Ant-Man and the Wasp has a great deal of San Francisco terroir. The perspective of the city’s heights and flats mirror the ever-changing size of the hapless hero, big enough to wade around like the Colossus of Rhodes near Fisherman’s Wharf, and tiny enough to brave the Quantum Realm. (“Do you guys put the word ‘quantum’ in front of everything?,” Scott complains.) In a movie where a building can be shrunk and wheeled away like an airport suitcase, or a fleet of cars can be carried in a Hot Wheels Rally Case, even Stan Lee gets in an acid-flashback joke to go with the fantasmagorica. Everything that seemed patchy and desperate in the original runs smoothly here. The movie’s sidebars are as wide as a hippie’s lapels, but all of it pays off: from an inch-high car in a Bullitt chase to the vaudeville accents of Scott’s pals at the X-Con Security System—Michael Peña as the dithering boss, and the comedy-Russky David Dastmalchian, in yet more Slavic superstitious awe. This is a wonderful toy that one imagines young girls in particular would like—and it’s hard to believe that there will be anything funnier this summer. The ending, in a tribute to the drive-in movie experience, shows that it’s gauged its weight perfectly. It has all the ingenuity and a lot more of the feelings the first one was groping around for. —Richard von Busack

PERFECT HAIR As a computer generated pop star,Hatsune Miku never needs to worry about her stylist showing up on time.

Digital Girl Hatsune Miku is the world’s first completely crowdsourced virtual pop star BY WALLACE BAINE

EYONCE, WATCH YOUR back. Gaga, better up your game. Katy Perry, this could get scary.

The world’s most fabulous pop divas have a new rival on the horizon, and this one has a superpower: She has no ego. She has no vices. And she doesn’t get old (at least not in a chronological sense; culturally, that remains to be seen). She is Hatsune Miku. And if you’re late to the game of Miku-mania, the first thing you should know about her is that’s she’s not technically a person. On Sunday, July 1, Miku devotees are expected to converge on the City

National Civic in San Jose to witness a “live” concert by a three-dimensional projection of a manga-inspired, miniskirted, decidedly girly avatar with improbably enormous turquoise pigtails. With the aid of a live band and the kind of pyrotechnics that we’ve all come to expect from big-ticket shows, throngs of fans and cosplay warriors will bop and wave their glow sticks to a performer who is not, in any material sense, actually there. Pop culture has seen the likes of Miku before, animated creations breaking a fourth wall into the real world. In the 1960s, the Archies, a cartoon garage band, scored actual pop hits on the charts. In the 1980s,

the cartoonishly va-voomish Jessica Rabbit co-starred on the big screen with flesh-and-blood actors. In the 2000s, Gorillaz became the first cartoon band to attain street cred in the world of alternative hip-hop. But Miku is a step beyond. The name was first applied to a software product, a singing voice synthesizer originally released in 2007. The software used vocal samples—often referred to as a “vocal bank”—to create sounds that could be manipulated to simulate singing. Before long, an animated avatar was created for the software. And, as they say in the business, a star was born. “She’s my favorite client,” cracks veteran publicist Steven Trachtenbroit. “She doesn’t talk back.” Trachtenbroit first encountered the Miku phenomenon when she opened for Lady Gaga. Since then, she has toured around the world, attracted millions of YouTube views and sparked a worldwide cosplay movement. “It’s a global phenomenon,” Trachtenbroit says. “People have really latched onto her. … And when I say ‘her,’ it’s important

to note that she doesn’t really exist. I’ve been working on this for six years, and I’m still kind of baffled and fascinated by it all.” Unlike the Archies and Gorillaz, which are cartoon stand-ins for real singers and songwriters, Miku is a fundamentally crowd-sourced phenomenon, Trachtenbroit explains. The songs she sings have been written largely by fans and uploaded using the Miku software. More than 200,000 songs have been contributed to Miku’s database. While her fans are creating the music, Miku herself is doing the diva work, posing in Vogue in a Givenchy gown, lending her image to toys and food products. She has endorsement contracts with Google, Toyota, Domino’s and many other companies. In 2014, during her first U.S. tour, she even performed a cover of the cult schmaltz hit “Never Gonna Give You Up” live on Late Night with David Letterman. When Miku vanished in a blue dust cloud after her performance, a nonplussed Dave cracked, “It’s like being on Willie Nelson’s bus.” The tour that brings her to San Jose is her third North American tour, with dates ahead in Dallas, Washington and New York. “If you go to a show,” said Trachtenbroit, “you might hear a song by a kid from Buffalo, New York, and another one by a kid in Shanghai.” Created by Crypton Future Media, based in Sapporo, Japan, Hatsune Miku’s name means, translated from the Japanese, “first sound of the future,” which might be disquieting for those who prefer their singing stars to be actual humans. But, as Trachtenbroit says, Miku is a profoundly human phenomenon. It is a vehicle for fans to create a superstar icon without an actual superstar getting in the way. “It’s all fan-driven,” he says. “Kids from all over the world have come up with her back story. There’s a massive cosplay movement. All the creators did was present them with an image. Anything you see online, that’s been driven by the kids.”

9PM SAT 6/30 • BT SAINTS, EL GUAPO, DRAWING HEAVEN @ CARAVAN Sometimes I need to think. Not too often, but certain musical styles take me to a contemplative place. There are times when I need to just nod my head to moody beats lining up ethereal bass and angsty guitars. Sometimes I don’t need or want much in terms of a direct lyrical message. I like that minimalism in these three bands. I like that a lot. I’m a big fan of Drawing Heaven’s drummer Daniel Dimas and guitarist Dan Delay. Each of these acts are quite different from the others, and that should make for a great show. 98 S Almaden Ave, San Jose

ADVICE GODDESS

By AMY ALKON

metroactive.com | sanjose.com | metrosiliconvalley.com | JUNE 27-JULY 3, 2018

AdviceAmy@AOL.com

I’m a 28-year-old woman who has been single for over five years. I’m steering clear of dating sites right now because of how so many guys portray themselves in ways that are very different from how they are in person. But then, in dayto-day life, when I smile at a guy I like, he’ll usually smile back but he still won’t come over and talk to me. Call me traditional, but I want a guy who has the courage to approach me. Guys are meant to do the pursuing.—Unapproached “Guys are meant to do the pursuing.” Well, okay, but forgive the poor dears if they’d like some sign from you about what’s likely to be in store for them if they hit on you — a hot time in bed or years of painful skin grafts from a 300-degree pumpkin latte you throw in their face. Oh, right. You say you smile at the guys you like. Consider that from a guy’s perspective: Maybe you were smiling at him—or maybe at some CrossFit Adonis standing right behind him. A single ambiguous signal isn’t a reliable message—that is, a reliably actionable message—especially when there’s risk involved in taking action. (In hitting on you, there’s the possibility of public humiliation, maybe even of the “Whoa, the YouTube video is going viral!” kind.) It also doesn’t help that a smile requires very little investment from you—in effort or risk. Amotz Zahavi, an Israeli zoologist who studies signaling—behavioral communication between individuals or critters—points out that signals that are more “costly” to the sender are read as more trustworthy (and usually are). Your talking to a guy would be an example of a stronger indication of interest from you than a mere smile, particularly if you initiate the conversation. You send an even stronger message that you’re interested by giving several signals at once. For example, you could touch a guy’s arm while you’re talking and make and hold eye contact (though just for a few seconds, not as if you’re a serial killer trying to hypnotize him into climbing into your trunk). You should also consider that men, more than ever, want to err on the side of seeing that their advances are wanted—which is to say they’re all terrified that they’ll wake up one day and find their name tweeted with #MeToo. This surely affects their willingness to even ask women out. I have written previously about how overt pursuit by a woman—direct, explicit expressions of interest, like asking a guy out—is a risky strategy, as it tends to

lead men to subconsciously devalue her. (If she’s chasing them instead of snubbing them like so many other women do, she must be desperate and/or have her sanity up on blocks in the front yard.) However, it turns out that you can probably go really, really big in being flirtatious—like way over what you’re seriously sure is the top. This comes out of the fascinating psychological effect of “indirect speech”—speech that implies what the speaker means rather than explicitly stating it. The indirectness allows us an essential “out,” according to psychologist and linguist Steven Pinker. Basically, as long as we can’t be 100 percent certain of what a person really means—as long as there’s even 1 percent of uncertainty— there’s “plausible deniability.” This allows us to just ignore something that would have been offensive if it had been said in a flat-out way. So, for example, if something is said euphemistically—a la the ol’ “Wanna come up and see my etchings?”—both parties can act as if it didn't mean what it pretty obviously does mean: something along the lines of, “It’s getting a little loud in here in Cafe Pretentious. Wanna go somewhere quiet and have sex?” However, realistically, flirting big on its own may not be enough. There are men who will realize—after you walk out of the drugstore or cafe and out of their lives forever—that they should have asked you out. Put them in a position to have a second chance by going to the same place over and over, like by showing up at the same coffeehouse every Saturday. In doing this, you’ll also get the benefit of observing men in a naturalistic habitat, allowing you to see potentially disturbing things about them that aren’t evident online. This can end up being a lifesaving measure— perhaps literally (in rare cases) and at least figuratively, when you discover that five minutes talking with a guy flies right by...like seven hours spent gagged and zip-tied to a chair.

FREE WILL ASTROLOGY ARIES (March 21-April 19): Your best ideas and

soundest decisions will materialize as if by magic while you're lounging around doing nothing in a worry-free environment. So please make sure you have an abundance of relaxed slack and unhurried grace. Treat yourself to record-setting levels of comfort and self-care. Do whatever's necessary for you to feel as safe as you have ever felt. I realize these prescriptions might ostensibly clash with your fiery Aries nature. But if you meditate on them for even two minutes, I bet you'll agree they're exquisitely appropriate for you right now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): "It is always what is under pressure in us, especially under pressure of concealment -- that explodes in poetry." Taurus poet Adrienne Rich wrote that in an essay about the poet Emily Dickinson. She was describing the process of tapping into potent but buried feelings so as to create beautiful works of literature. I'm hoping to persuade you to take a comparable approach: to give voice to what's under pressure inside you, but in a graceful and constructive way that has positive results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Introductory offers are expiring. The bracing thrills of novelty must ripen into the cool enjoyments of maturity. It's time to finish the dress rehearsals so the actual show can begin. You've got to start turning big, bright fantasies into crisp, no-nonsense realities. In light of these shifting conditions, I suspect you can no longer use your good intentions as leverage, but must deliver more tangible signs of commitment. Please don't take this as a criticism, but the cosmic machinery in your vicinity needs some actual oil, not just your witty stories about the oil and the cosmic machinery. CANCER (June 21-July 22): In the coming weeks,

you will have an excellent chance to dramatically decrease your Wimp Quotient. As the perilously passive parts of your niceness toughen up, I bet you will encounter brisk possibilities that were previously off-limits or invisible to you. To ensure you remain in top shape for this delightful development, I think you should avoid entertainment that stimulates fear and pessimism. Instead of watching the latest flurry of demoralizing stories on Netflix, spend quality time summoning memories of the times in your life when you were unbeatable. For extra credit, pump your fist ten times each day as you growl, "Victory is mine!"

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): It's not so bad to temporarily

lose your bearings. What's bad is not capitalizing on the disruption that caused you to lose your bearings. So I propose that you regard the fresh commotion as a blessing. Use it as motivation to initiate radical changes. For example, escape the illusions and deceptions that caused you to lose your bearings. Explore unruly emotions that may be at the root of the superpowers you will fully develop in the future. Transform yourself into a brave self-healer who is newly receptive to a host of medicinal clues that were not previously accessible.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Here's my list of demands:

1. Avoid hanging out with people who are unreceptive to your influence. 2. Avoid hanging out with people whose influence on you is mediocre or dispiriting. 3. Hang out with people who are receptive to your influence and whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating. 4. Influence the hell out of the people who are receptive to your influence. Be a generous catalyst for them. Nudge them to surpass the limits they would benefit from surpassing. 5. Allow yourself to be deeply moved by people whose influence on you is healthy and stimulating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." Activist author Audre Lorde said that, and now, in accordance with your current astrological and psychological needs, I'm offering it to you. I realize it's a flamboyant, even extreme, declaration, but in my opinion, that's what is most likely to motivate you to do the right thing. Here's another splashy prompt, courtesy of philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre: "We only become what we are by the radical and deep-seated refusal of that which others have made us."

By ROB BREZSNY week of June 27

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): André René Roussimoff,

also known as André the Giant, was a French actor and professional wrestler. He was 7 feet, 4 inches tall and weighed 520 pounds. As you might imagine, he ate and drank extravagantly. On one festive occasion, he quaffed 119 bottles of beer in six hours. Judging from your current astrological indicators, Scorpio, I suspect you may be ready for a binge like that. JUST KIDDING! I sincerely hope you won't indulge in such wasteful forms of "pleasure." The coming days should be a time when you engage in a focused pursuit of uplifting and healthy modes of bliss. The point is to seek gusto and amusement that enhance your body, mind, and soul.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): On her 90th

birthday, my Great-Aunt Zosia told me, "The best gift you can give your ego is to make it see it's both totally insignificant and totally important in the cosmic scheme of things." Jenna, my girlfriend when I was 19, was perhaps touting a similar principle when, after teasing and tormenting me for two hours, she scrawled on my bathroom mirror in lipstick, "Sometimes you enjoy life better if you don't understand it." Then there's my Zen punk friend Arturo, who says that life's goodies are more likely to flow your way if you "hope for nothing and are open to everything." According to my analysis of the astrological rhythms, these messages will help you make the most of the bewildering but succulent opportunities that are now arriving in your vicinity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): In accordance

with the astrological beacons, I have selected two pieces of advice to serve as your guiding meditations during the next seven weeks. You might want to write them on a piece of paper that you will carry in your wallet or pocket. Here's the first, from businessman Alan Cohen: "Only those who ask for more can get more, and only those who know there is more, ask." Here's the second, from writer G. K. Chesterton: "We need to be happy in this wonderland without once being merely comfortable."

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Ecologists in Mexico

City investigated why certain sparrows and finches use humans' discarded cigarette butts in building their nests. They found that cellulose acetate, a chemical in the butts, protects the nests by repelling parasitic mites. Is there a metaphorical lesson you might draw from the birds' ingenious adaptation, Aquarius? Could you find good use for what might seem to be dross or debris? My analysis of the astrological omens says that this possibility is worth meditating on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): I suspect that sometime soon you will come into possession of an enchanted potion or pixie dust or a pouch full of magic beans -- or the equivalent. If and when that occurs, consider the following protocols: 1. Before you use your new treasure, say a prayer to your higher self, requesting that you will be guided to use it in such a way as to make yourself wiser and kinder. 2. When you use it, be sure it harms no one. 3. Express gratitude for it before and during and after using it. 4. Use it in such a way that it benefits at least one other person or creature in addition to you. 5. See if you can use it to generate the arrival or more pixie dust or magical beans or enchanted potion in the future. 6. When you use it, focus on wielding it to get exactly what you want, not what you sort of want or temporarily want. Homework: Describe the tree house you would like to build for yourself one day, and what pleasures you would like to pursue there. Write: Truthrooster@gmail.com.

POT SHOTS

THE CAUCASITY A local pot entrepreneur known as ‘Permit Patty’ joined ‘BBQ Becky’ in the canon of white-people-calling-cops-on-black people memes.

Petty Patty

T’S HARD TO imagine a pot company pissing off millions of stoners enough to bring about its own demise, but even members of one of society’s most peaceful segments have their breaking point. Bay Area cannabis company TreatWell, which sells (sold?) CBD-infused pet wellness products and regular THC edibles, appears to have 86’d itself from the marijuana industry last weekend after its CEO called the cops on a little girl in San Francisco for selling bottled water. Allison Ettel earned the nickname “Permit Patty,” her own hashtag and the honor of being viciously memed by internet strangers last Friday when a taped confrontation of Ettel appearing to call the police on an 8-year-old black girl selling water in front of her apartment building went viral. Ettel, who is white, has denied that she actually dialed the fuzz on the young one, who was trying to raise money for a Disneyland trip, and that she was just pretending. But the Twitter mob wasn’t playing, and like her predecessor “BBQ Becky,” who summoned law enforcement earlier this year to Lake Merritt where a group of black people were barbecuing and minding their own business, Ettel felt its wrath. Countless users dragged Ettel as “racist,” “petty” and the “beneficiary of a broken system” that has allowed whites to prosper from legal cannabis while many people of color are shut out. Some suggested she use some of her own product to “chill TF out,” while others wondered exactly how high Ettel was to call the po-po on a little girl just trying to hydrate thirsty folks. Ettel tried to do damage control in media interviews and pass off her behavior as “completely stress-related,” but tokers and weed shops around the state—and country—made it clear that TreatWell failed to live up to its name. Five Bay Area dispensaries pulled TreatWell items from their shelves over the weekend, including both Harborside locations in Oakland and San Jose. Leafly, one of the most popular cannabis apps on the market, may have driven the final nail in TreatWell’s coffin by dropping them from their business directory. Buddy’s Cannabis owner Matt Lucero, who doesn’t carry TreatWell products, told Metro that dispensaries are no different than other businesses when it comes to corporate ethics. “I do see it as a social responsibility,” Lucero said. “What she did was aggressive and inappropriate, and I certainly wouldn’t want that energy associated with our store.”—Julia Baum
