This is so LA 😅 #iceraids #losangeles

This will always be timely, but especially today.

Play at least one Brian Wilson song tonight. Just do it. You won’t feel better, but it’s kind of beautiful to imagine everyone collectively listening to him and remembering how lucky we all were to have him.

He refuses to use diplomatic channels to do anything because he’s not a diplomat. He’s not a legislator. He doesn’t understand the law other than how to skirt it. He’s a hacker. His entire ethos is finding ways to hack our system in his favor and millions of people didn’t catch on until now.

When the fires happened, I told people immediately that he would find a way to come after Los Angeles because he saw an opportunity and a weakness. I don’t like that I was right.

I haven’t had Internet service for the majority of this day and I guess it was a good thing. But eventually it catches up and I find out everything that happened. What a fucking day.

the man, the myth, the recording sessions, drum machines, funk samples, hip-hop, civil rights, name it. better yet read it

Sly Stone was uniquely visionary, an innovator. He was a complete original. His creative output was meteoric, his influence nearly un-quantifiable. I got to be alive at the same time as he was, to be influenced by him, and for that I’m deeply grateful. Rest in eternal paradise.

Honestly I’m not entirely disappointed by this turn of events.

One thing about Pete Hegseth, he’s in lockstep with Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller. They saw the opportunity of a weakened Los Angeles, as a result of the fires, being an opening to come after California.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

what do these nazi pigs think they’re doing in LA? every one of our skate kids is the joker

Really didn't take long at all for the darkest predictions to come to pass. And I'd wager a good majority of his voters still don't even know, thanks to a media very dedicated to processing reality for them.

If you come for Los Angeles, come prepared to lose. I am not talking just about the Dodgers.

This devolved into me bragging about bands I’ve seen in concert.

How did I forget this? Public Enemy opening for Beastie Boys. So many iconic moments.

Oh how did I forget… The Shins opening for Modest Mouse on the ‘Between The Moon and Antarctica’ tour. It was spectacular.

Either U2 opening for the J. Geils Band or Sheila E. opening for Prince &The Revolution on the Purple Rain tie.

It’s the bluest Thursday and we’re all here for it

just fuck already

get ready to drive a Chinese EV

I rather enjoy that there are multiple variations of this particular thought floating around on social media right now.

the enemy of my enemy is not my friend but watching them smack each other in the nuts is still very funny

I don’t think I’m reading into this too deeply when I say that the people in charge of the United States truly believe greatness can only be achieved through the blissful ignorance of the masses via suppression of data and information critical to individual autonomy.

DOGE fired the people who built it, parasitized our organizations, and killed the project. But the Direct File codebase lives on. Paid for by American taxpayers, the code is yours. www.404media.co/directfile-o...

This is something I’d actually try, how about you?

STUDIOS to WRITERS: You should NEVER write stories about working in Hollywood. Also STUDIOS…

The brutality and violence taking place in Gaza by the Israeli government is unsustainable and immoral. But, if you think that attacking Jewish people at a gathering in Colorado or anywhere else helps send a message about the cause, block me on this app and everywhere else.

Good to hear AI will help me reduce my carbon footprint, as I've been running my microwave for 19 hours a day for the last three years and have yet to receive a single video of a dog speaking Spanish.
