I took a picture of Sabrina Carpenter trying to find her car keys on the floor and now everyone is mad at me because it's her album cover. She found her keys! It's fine!

"People who say they want to defund the cops still call the cops when they get robbed!" Yeah because we have this system called "insurance" to protect your possessions and the only way to claim that shit is to call the cops, you literally don't have a choice.

A few things 1. "genAi is a transformative work" - this lawsuit proves repeatedly how that's not the case, Midjourney makes exact copies 2. "they're going to settle!" for what? Disney and Universal want blood, not dollars 3. There's no way to unring this bell, you can't untrain these models

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

I've noticed a concerning amount of people invoking and misspelling an Indian civil rights leader's name in the name of peaceful protest and I wouldn't be saying anything about it if they weren't wrong about all of it

Not enough is made, including by Zohran himself, about the victory for taxi driver relief. It's gotta be among the greatest labor victories in this city of the past few decades, and he really was the leader on it:

Between Greta Thunberg and her fellow activists being kidnapped by Israel and Trump turning LA into his personal war zone, I hope people realise that protest, no matter how peaceful, will always be met with violence by dying empires.
