No less a lodestar for the Marin region than Ezra Klein has recently been spotted twice at the Junction in Mill Valley, proving that even the most bespectacled intellectuals are unable to resist the charms of our pizzeria-slash-beer-garden.

Yet to be determined is whether he can resist the county itself. Studies have shown the individuals of Klein's ilk – we know an aspiring trailer runner when we see one – are in acute danger of moving to Marin after just a few days of exposure.
With Klein likely perusing Eichlers on Zillow as we speak, we offer a word of caution:
Marin is largely indifferent to celebrities, and often doesn't know who they are due to a lack of cultural awareness, i.e.,
Marin resident 1: “I saw Zendaya at the farmer’s market!” “
Marin resident 2: "Was it in season?”
And so forth. But a name-brand opinion columnist, who also hosts a thought-provoking podcast covering everything from geopolitics to technological shifts? Rivian would have to build him a Popemobile. Lady Gaga can and allegedly does have a place in Mill Valley, for example, but she cannot live in the Castro.

Did you know? Lady Gaga is a singer
Verdict: Ezra Klein must return to Brooklyn for his own safety.
ALSO
We (Marin Lately and its posse of no-nonsense subscribers) appear to have curtailed the disquieting ambitions of Marin Living, the local AI news site covered here recently, using nothing more than our collective disdain.

Marin Living's podcast has been discontinued, and the entire enterprise seems to have lost its simulated joie de vivre. Upshot: disdain not only has a place in this world, but is more important than ever.
FINALLY
We hear a lot about how Marin Catholic decimated so-and-so, or X senior is likely to play (such-and-such game invented to keep children occupied) at a professional level.
Meanwhile, one of our most explosive young scribes just single-handedly brought home a banner for the county and is headed for the nationals next month.
