@badnewsdaily.bsky.social idk how to get ahold of you anymore

Just received this photo from a friend of a warehouse in Kinshasa. These are tuberculosis medications--ALREADY PAID FOR--that aren't being distributed due to the Trump Administration's stop work order. TB treatment is being interrupted in SO many patients around the world. What does that mean? (1/2)

seeing some people share this but i need you to know gillibrand was talking about senate republicans. not democrats. www.wnyc.org/story/call-y...

What do you need in order to rebuild a home lost in a hurricane (73,000 in 2024) or a wildfire (16,000 in 2025 so far)? Steel. Where does our steel come from? Canada, Mexico, China. Guess who will buy the properties homeowners cannot afford to rebuild? Developers & large corporations.

This is one of my favorite fun movies of all time.... Feels weird to call it fun because it's actually beautiful and very profound for a love story. Don't miss Plus One on Netflix. Don't miss and need more people to talk about it with! www.tomsguide.com/entertainmen...

I'm obsessed with Stick Nation and fell in love with Dermot Mulroney after he made a video with a stick lol

Wilhelmina is on fire watch with these hot, wild winds

This is a brilliant way to do custom merch without adding trash to the environment and while supporting small business. Absolutely obsessed with this.

I had the honor of contributing to @dansavage.bsky.social's Savage Love column this week with a really challenging question about a teenager who is deep into homophobic, hateful MAGA culture ... and his mom is a lesbian. Do you kick him out or call him in? savage.love/savagelove/2...

Looking for non-Tin Foil Hat reasons why there are suddenly SO many arsonists setting fires in Los Angeles County? Do big non-arson fires cause people with a fire compulsion to come here? Or does it activate triggers for pyromania? It's not unhoused folks cooking/staying warm - it's intentional.

Could've sworn I just felt an earthquake...

Yesterday at work I told my colleagues in social media that all tiktok has to do is flatter Trump and they'll be back And now this is their alert of being offline Honestly, it's pure marketing genius. Whoever acquired this company/is running it knows what they're doing (cough, Meta)

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

"You deserve good things" A colleague just said this to me in response to some very fun news and it almost made me cry Will be saving this sentiment for special moments and special people - it's more meaningful than I could've imagined

@lois35.bsky.social Happy Tuesday Lois!

“To all those folks out there who don't think our formerly incarcerated brothers and sister should not be able to vote or live in your neighbourhoods, just remember who was up on your hill saving your home…” www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

The Palisades and E. Malibu employed 100s of domestic workers before the Palisades Fire Now live-in employees are losing homes and others are losing income while 9000+ people try to relocate to rentals This GoFundMe was set up by a dear friend to help these folks. gofund.me/dfb02189

Even if it mattered what way an entire state (or district, even) voted, you would never know the party or voting habits of the people who live there. Trust me, there are PLENTY of republicans in Pali and Malibu. But also WTF. Who thinks this way?! You'll only help YOUR voters? People are sick.

I took Claire under my wing a few years ago when I met her in Urgent Care. She'd been hit in the head with falling product in the grocery store and was clearly concussed. I was there with my teen son and asked if she needed an extra mom for the day. She started crying. gofund.me/ec4d3d90

Want more for yourself than persistent sadness of your own choosing

Worst part about the history of Sally Hemings is that some weirdos have reduced her story to her being a side mistress he was we “actually in love with” when that was not the case at all.

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope. “When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

If you're looking for someone to support through the Palisades Fire, Claire is a first generation college student who paid her on way thru college with Pell, etc. She is very dear to me and has zero family support - she left with only a small bag and lost her car, too. gofund.me/ec4d3d90

Amazing local biz in Malibu

If your kid has a Tonie Box I highly, highly recommend the Eloise figurine ... Bernadette Peters as Eloise! An absolute dream.

Ok so Goodnight 2024 is funny. Sometimes I like Andy and Anderson.

Lemme get my membership back

I'm thankful for Christine Blasey Ford and Anita Hill. Celebrate moral courage. Listen to whistle blowers. Take action on their words.

I hate how Boxing Day has gotten so commercial. This year I'm trying to get back in touch with the true meaning of the day: The boxes.
