Watching LAPD officers shoot rubber bullets directly at protesters is like watching the LA city budget get diverted in real time to lawsuit payouts

How did ya'll win in 1812

fun watching two post-teens with "whatever racism Fox needs today" for a personality fly up to the tampa No Kings demonstration with their truck and "trump" and "gulf of america" flags and come to a dead stop for 15 minutes, trapped in traffic, flags hanging limp, as they got mocked by 1000+ people

TLC still on stage...wait, am I at the No Scrubs rally?

Newark Escape (The Pina Colada song)

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

The Masked Dancer is NOT a musical, it is a talent show. And I have bought 15 tickets for Brightest Africa

Hey is it a good thing that every few weeks one of the hyperscalers "shakes up" its AI group? Shouldn't they have worked this out now they've spent hundreds of billions of dollars on AI? www.axios.com/2025/05/27/m... fortune.com/2025/06/04/m... www.theinformation.com/articles/aws...

They need 10,000 troops to depose @konstantineinca.bsky.social from Burbank council

Don't mess with the Zohran!

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

They took my fries, mayor

RIP to Brian Wilson, who famously died.

I love spitting facts. 2+3=5, PTOOIE

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines "These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

López Alvarado “said she told agents she was due on June 17. The agents responded, ‘OK, your baby is going to be born here, but you're from Mexico, right? And I told them no,’ she said.” "I was born here,” she told Telemundo 52. "I was born in Los Angeles, I was born in Hollywood Hospital.”

Something worth noting is how the press is leaning into the framing that what’s happening in LA is a both sides issue or that they are riots. Even when the LAPD is saying it’s under control, suddenly for the first time in their lives the press is willing to ignore them

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

$134 million? Tourism is back!

The federal government is telling you they cannot afford to house you, feed you, educate you or heal you — but that they do have enough resources and scale to criminalize, assault, deport and incarcerate your neighbors simply going to work or taking their kids to graduation.

If you're gonna use this lede don't google "LA" and "January 2025" thx

Do goths exist in your campaign?

ICE raided Los Angeles elementary schools in an attempt to kidnap small children. They hid their identities, claimed they weren't ICE, and lied to school authorities that they had "permission" from the parents to take the children out. School officials luckily didn't fall for it.

Black Rifle Copy will airlift them the stew that gives diarrhea

LA is so messed up we're importing the unhoused

They Will Call You Violent

They're gonna have a LOT of fun on the 4th of July then

Trump doesn’t have the juice anymore. He calls Gavin Newsom "Newscum," but he doesn’t have a nickname for Karen Bass. It’s really easy, but he’s an elderly coward who won’t say " ass ". #IceProtests

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

A lot of people are going to be up in arms about ICE's tactics here. But I ask you to consider the horrifying alternative: the guys you see with a truck outside Home Depot continuing to chop it up on a Saturday, and possibly even purchasing one of those Home Depot hot dogs at one point.

Why didn't the LAPD put out the Palisades fire with all this tear gas they got?
