Doug Mills is one of the greatest to ever do it.

This energy.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

that’s right.

Melania looks like a combination of the Babadook and the Quaker Oats man

Today and in the coming days, remember

to recap: — Trump was *for* the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

"Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day today, haven't we?" "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though." - Grant and Sherman after the disaster of the first day of Shiloh, April 1862. They won the next. Today is one of the bad days in American history. Better days will come.

I’ll be posting this today

I heard there was a big important event today in addition to MLK day so what time is the David Lynch meditation

my message to MAGA is: be careful of the government you wish for. you might get it

live your life in such a way that the entire world doesn't burst out laughing when your pathetic little inauguration gets moved indoors

I went to the Jimmy Carter public visitation in the Capitol Rotunda last night. My friend and I arrived around 9pm. It was below 20 degrees with the wind chill. Wait time? 3.5 hours. Thousands of people were waiting outside in the freezing cold for hours late at night to honor Jimmy Carter.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million. That is a lie. The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

I'm renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of Jeff

Another masterful water drop from Canadian aerial firefighters in California. Thank you, Canada!

President Jimmy Carter once asked how he felt about writing he responded with a twinkle in his eye: “It beats picking cotton.” He’s published 32 books: memoirs, poetry,a children’s story illustrated by his daughter, a paean to faith, an ode to his mother & a novel set during the Revolutionary War.

LA restaurants offering free meals to fire evacuees: Yeastie Boys (Multiple locations) Bar Etoile (East Hollywood) Fiorelli Pizza (Venice) Bé Ù (Silver Lake) Danny Boy's (Downtown + Westwood) Oy Bar (Studio City) Sunday Gravy (Inglewood) Dudley Market (Venice) LaSorted's (Silver Lake)

Here’s tomorrow’s front page of the @latimes. All our fire coverage is here, and the paywall has been lifted: www.latimes.com/california/l...

Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.

"If a woman fancies that she looks better or feels better in men's clothes, there is no reason why she may not indulge in so harmless a fancy." The illustrated book of manners: a manual of good behavior and polite accomplishments by R. De Valcourt, 1866. archive.org/details/illu...

I want to take a moment to say thank you to all the firemen who are risking their lives to save others in these dire moments. The firefighters are putting in long, long hours and making little if any headway, due to the high winds. This is another horrific event caused by climate change.

Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS. The letter states: “RFK Jr. is not only unqualified to lead this essential agency — he is actively dangerous.” 1/ www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Imagine watching disaster movies like The Day After Tomorrow or 2012 and thinking that the apocalyptic weather scenes were the “unrealistic” part. Turns out those scenes were almost bang on. The unrealistic part was the humans working together to overcome the problem & save the world. Sigh.

when RAND corporation released their report on neo-medievalism I don't think they were expecting it to be this medieval

ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change. Since the news failed do it's job, here's a short summary of the role of climate change and wildfire risk: www.noaa.gov/noaa-wildfir...

$1,131,794,901 That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns. Well, the planet is burning. Don't let them look away.

In this age of increased terrorist threats and actions, we strongly need an FBI run by seasoned and competent leaders, not political hacks like Kash Patel.

My 2024 was almost beyond belief: * The Reformatory continues to astound me with its reception. It took me seven years of pain to write and won a Bram Stoker Award, L.A. Times Book Prize, Shirley Jackson Prize, Chautauqua Award and was a New York Times Notable Book. Readers: I am speechless. 🧵

For the vapid f**ks of X lecturing me that Jimmy Carter was the worst President….

Best Move of 2024

Beauties. Not beasts. #StandForWolves

Wishing all of my friends a happy and healthy New Year. 🥂
