I was the youngest of 4 kids and my mom was stay-at-home. Instead of being bored at home all day, my mom loved going to the movies and took me with her instead of getting a babysitter. I saw a lot of adult fare when I was WAY too young (like JAWS when I was 4), and it left an indelible impression.

Nothing better than having the theater to yourself for a quiet Saturday matinee. #captainamerica

Took Google Maps off my phone because they changed the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Just checked Apple Maps to make sure I was using a sane app -- and they changed it, too. Everything we own and use is owned by oligarchs lining up to appease Trump. I don't know how we get out of this mess.

Fuck google.

If I wanted to buy a one-way flight to Canada, would that cost me an extra 25% now?

Kroger’s is partnering with Microsoft to install facial-recognition tech in stores to identify individual customers and set prices per person. The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile." Article says it will be based on ability to pay, but pretty sure that won't be it.

Time to tackle The Beast!

From the aclu if ice come to your door

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

I guess we can't have nice things... www.usatoday.com/story/entert...

Sometimes I'll accidentally open the app to my wife's Spanish lesson and go "this Italian lesson is REALLY EASY TODAY!" before I realize what's happening...

And I still can’t speak a lick of Italian!

This, from @marymac22.bsky.social sums up the best, though far from the only argument, for why the (award) show must go on. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Unfortunately, she's going to the NYT, which is an even bigger rag than the WaPo.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Mood, 2 weeks into 2025

What, no Kevin Sorbo or Scott Baio?

We need to highlight Black people who have suffered loss during these LA fires. Please please share this "Displaced Black Families" document and donate if you can!!!!! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

For folks looking to be reunited with their pets separated in the wildfires, call 213-270-8155 New dedicated phone line for anyone looking for their pets in the fire zones.

Friends of mine were out of town when the fire took their home. Their cats are still missing. They're aware of the resources, but obviously everyone is overwhelmed. Please keep an eye out for Scout (female tortoiseshell) & Moxie (female orange tabby), last seen in Altadena before the fire. Thanks.

This is my periodic rant that Apple Intelligence is so bad that today it got every fact wrong its AI a summary of @washingtonpost.com news alerts. It's wildly irresponsible that Apple doesn't turn off summaries for news apps until it gets a bit better at this AI thing.

all the big names you, the people of 2025, know and love, like 1984 best vocal country performance Grammy winner Lee Greenwood, provider of the theme song for One Tree Hill Gavin McGraw, and star of Mulholland Drive Billy Ray Cyrus

Plus, two bottle episodes and maybe even a clip show!

🎯

How bout we take a Mulligan on this whole new year and start 2025 over again next week? Deal? Deal.

Your LA friends are not okay, even if their homes are intact, even if they have evacuated to safety. Too many of their friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones are hurting for them to be okay. But they surely do appreciate you asking anyway. ❤️

Please, I beg you, stop amplifying assholes with bad takes by reposting them!

This photo was blown into our yard during the Eaton Canyon fire. Anyone from Pasadena/Altadena recognize these people?

If they’re going to be dicks — which, of course they are — I hope Newsom and Co. are ready to play hardball.

Los Angeles Animal Services has employees working 12-hour shifts running evacuee operations at Hansen Dam horse park—they would love some hot meals if anyone has been wanting to buy dinner for firefighters but holding off knowing they are inundated! Bring food to the show barn where evacuees are 💜

Price gouging after the fires is illegal, and that includes rent gouging, which we've already seen. Despicable.

Just now in presser on SoCal wildfires, FEMA Regional Administrator advises for those affected please register for assistance these ways: * Go to disasterassistance.gov * Download the FEMA app * Call (800) 621-3362

INSULIN NEEDED - if anyone can spare insulin, especially the more shelf-stable pens, please bring them to: Bernie's Coffee Shop 6101 Wilshire Blvd before 6pm today

On the other hand “how can the city be so ill-prepared for a fire like this” BECAUSE IT IS A NEW KIND OF FIRE. CLIMATE CHANGE IS MAKING THINGS WORSE FASTER THAN WE CAN PREPARE. “Where is city leadership” then one second later “LAFD and amber alerts told us to evacuate” … that is city leadership babe

⚠️ Governor Newsom announces that those affected by the fires in California can now apply for federal assistance. Here’s the link with resources and details on how to apply: www.ca.gov/lafires/

If you or someone you know is running a GoFundMe for wildfire damages, they can apply for additional funding through the GoFundMe Wildlife Relief Fund. It’s free and takes about two minutes to apply. Please share. www.gofundme.com/f/wildfire-r...
