The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

I’m not sure how to express how intensely personal these raids feel as an Angeleno. Whatever stereotypes you have in your head about La-La-Land, immigrants are the lifeblood of this city. It’s an assault on what we love about this place.

I don’t care if people “give up” on this app and go back to Nazi-salute guy’s app — personally, I’m never doing it. Not even under consideration. At the end of the day, no one gives a fuck if your nude has 9 likes or 9k likes. For fuck’s sake, stand for something! What are your values?

Billy Wilder's ACE IN THE HOLE (1951) is streaming on Pluto TV (free with ads) and Kanopy (free w/ a library card). It predicted the mess we're in today better than almost any other film. #FilmSky #Streaming

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

When Obama and Biden won, Republicans said “fuck them, we’ll break them” and went on to rally their base. When Republicans win, Democrats blame their left and say “we’ll work with Republicans.” And it fucking sucks.

Ernst’s “we’re all going to die” comment wasn’t a gaffe — which is why she is refusing to apologize. It’s part of the larger Christian right war on empathy. www.salon.com/2025/06/04/j...

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

Republicans are redirecting a big chunk of the already earmarked $42.5 billion in infrastructure bill broadband grants to Elon Musk's slower, shittier Starlink satellite service, a move that could delay these deployments by years

"Biden was old but governed normally. Trump governs erratically because he’s unglued. That’s the true cover-up, one the media is enabling when they seem more concerned with the mental condition of a former president than the escalating madness of the current one."

we should have been and should be making a much bigger and more consistent deal about the masks. It is baseline unacceptable for agents of a democratic state to conceal their identity.

Remember all those law firms that struck a deal with Trump? It’s not totally working out for them. At least 11 large companies—including Morgan Stanley, Microsoft, and Oracle—are cutting ties with law firms that caved to President Trump’s threats of political retribution. https://trib.al/WeNhjT5
