You’re welcome.

Exactly what is it that Musk has on Trump that has Trump obeying him like a dog rather than throwing his regular tantrums?

Brad Sherman reps the valley, but also the Palisades. He's probably being cagey because of the fires. Either way, he's my rep so my ass is calling him to withhold tomorrow.

So the key to saving America is for everyone to boo him every time he's ever in public. Copy copy.

When the state of the world is bad, we have to find joy in the little things. Like watching @christinastrain.bsky.social's DnD character get absolutely KO'd by a sentient broom

This is also an issue for other Asian immigrant communities.

Every time I hear or read about how Trump blamed this crash on DEI, I can't help but think of all the young Asian American skaters who were on that plane, and burst into tears.

Spencer was also an active part of the figure skating reddit boards. He'd only been skating for about 2-3 years, and watching how quickly he was able to shoot up the ranks was a thing of wonder. I'm heartbroken.

I'm a liberal Los Angeleno, child of an immigrant, military brat, and hardcore skating fan. There are no words for how much of an assault on my emotions January has been.

This is Phyllis Fong. I very much respect that she made them physically remove her from her office, which remains hers by right, because she hasn’t been legally terminated.

This completely explains how I've been feeling. Not often that I see my ADHD as a real problem, but it's nice to know when it's at the root of a problem.

After a soul crushing call from my Korean American mother, I couldn't sleep last night. So I emailed Adam Schiff to demand he vote no on RJK Jr.'s confirmation, and that the Democrats push harder against Trump and the Republicans. Will it make a difference? No idea. But I was able to sleep after.

An inspiration to us all.

Since November, I've been trying to figure out how best to move forward despite it all and I've been looking to the Black Panthers for inspiration. I came across this quote from Fred Hampton today that has been really speaking to me, and maybe it will speak to some of you, too.

Important info that everyone should know about the Republican attack on trans people.

I am prepared to say the Democratic Party's response to this has been better than the national media's response, and I think the Dems are _doing a very poor job_.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

If you're amazed by how S. Korea's fought to keep democracy alive, it's cause they only became a democracy in 1988 and KNOW what's at stake. Read these. I worry it's where we're heading. Gwangju uprising: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwangju... June Democratic Struggle: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_De...

This is my wife’s work. She does pediatric clinical research. Kids with dangerous or fatal blood clots. And TFG is withholding funding. Trump withholds funding from sick kids. Keep shouting it.

Just putting this here as a reminder

Genuine question: If the federal government shuts down almost all federal spending, in a way that hurts a lot of Americans, leaving them to fend for themselves... then why should any of us pay federal taxes this year?

Ah, yes. Why waste American tax payer dollars on the average American? Especially when you can funnel it all directly into the pockets of the billionaires who bought Trump the election.

Yes, this is dangerous. But also, jesus christ Republican men are weak and pathetic.

I hope some of these "tales of unqualified white employees" include Hegseth!

This is 100% why the "weird" attack line was so powerful: all these right-wing weirdos want is to be considered the default.

How can you sanction a country you can't even spell.

Read all this.

That was such a satisfying conclusion to US Nationals. Hope to see the top three skate again when I go to Worlds! 🥹🎉

Between this and eggs, so much for breakfast.

WORTH THE READ!!!

I miss real residuals. And studios being able to take risks on making cheaper movies and investing in longer running shows that they'd make their money back on in DVD sales.

Been a terrible month! Have some joy!

I used to think it was wild that Tower Records was still in Japan, and Japan’s dedication to buying/selling physical copies of music, TV, and movies was dated, but I boy was wrong. They’re keeping art alive.

Fuck Gibson. Fuck Stallone. Fuck Voight. Go off, Arnie!

That’s suspicious. That’s weird.

The entire tech industry right now

THANK YOU this is the energy I was hoping for!!!

Andrew Torgashev's short program this year is absolutely my favorite men's short program of the season.

Camden Pulkinen has been TRAINING.
