Have zero focus today.

Realized that road trips activate all the road trip songs you had memorized on road trips 20 years ago.

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...

About to speak in front of LA’s most talented musicians and heads of music about getting productions to Stay in LA. Thank you Evergreen Studios and Encompass Creative Music.

What’s the next word above greedflation? Glutflation? Pigflation?

I’m a small investor and YTD I’ve lost over 25% of my portfolio. This isn’t about the market, paybacks or the people. Just corruption. #tariffs

Beautiful works

The people who work in used bookstores are to be cherished.

Our @stayinla.bsky.social rally is shaping up to be a great day for our industry and community. There’s no place like home. Bring productions back!

Thank gawd you figured out how to prompt AI to make all the same ads I continue to ignore. Phew. Thought we were really gonna misuse this tool.

I’m the 7th libra to enter this establishment tonight. - charismatic door guy

Seems like the only goal now days is to sell to a mega-brand. Depressing.

Don’t buy stuff on February 28. Money’s the only thing these dicks understand. #resist

It’s so cool that my 7th grade history vocabulary is being played out again in my 40s. Everyone repeat after me: Carpetbagging Yellow Journalism Robber Baron Snake Oil Price Gouging Goes nicely with the everlasting terms: Gerrymandering Filibustering

Maybe I should just change careers to become a general contractor.

Just feels like all the bad guys are winning endlessly right now.

Aghast at how many older white women are wearing red, white, and blue “patriot” outfits at JFK.

Hoping our California Attoney General Bonta gets ahead of the price gouging that’s sure to be happening next - rentals, groceries, construction.

Calling about volunteering at LA fire relief centers but not getting a response? This is not the time to be demure. Take action. Just go. They’re full? Go to the next one.

The best quip I’ve seen, so far.

LA Fires -- Being in an emergency zone reveals how fragmented and inadequate our information systems have become. Critical updates—like fire locations or evacuation zones—often come from community word of mouth or third-party apps, not official channels. ⬇️

CEOs, boards, and shareholders are so lazy chasing short-term profits they’re missing what makes history: solving problems that matter. Exploiting people and resources doesn’t take talent. Legends build.

Have applied for the Obama Foundation Leaders program. 🤞

Would love to build out an EV Valet service. The parking lots at big box stores with Electrify America are overwhelming and screwing up the parking lot and no one is buying shit bc they have to wait in their cars in line.

Banking with American Express? 🤔 🤔 🤔

I’m finding that I’m using AI more and more for shopping. Partially out of curiosity and mainly out of efficiency. If I was a consumer goods or retail brand I’d be asking OpenAI or any other that driven AI these questions before investing further into strategy. Curious what you think?

Speak your truth. You never know who is listening. Later down the road a person having heard your truth might regard it as the strength they need now.
