The funniest aspect of the crypto grift is that he doesn’t understand it at all. And I’m guessing at least 40% of his supporters who bought it don’t, either. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

After the success of Gremlins, Joe Dante turned down a sequel. But WB couldn’t crack it, so they returned years later and offered complete creative control and 3x the budget. The result was the most subversive sequel of all time. It’s bold. It’s bonkers. It’s iconic. Happy birthday, Gremlins 2!

Deaths from nitrous oxide increased 110% from 2019 to 2023. You can buy it at your local gas station. And RFK Jr. is focused on removing red dye from skittles.

Good news, everyone. Trump can “easily” get a deal done. Just like he ended the war on Ukraine in 24 hours.

Does anyone know how to get in touch with George Soros so I can send my invoice for protesting today?

Here is a man locked in and laser-focused on his failing, publicly traded car business.

This is the weirdest detail for me. You pass out flyers that have catchy slogans or links to something you want people to read. And they’re usually designed. Nobody wants to carry around a mostly blank sheet of computer paper that just says “NO KINGS.”

So much love and empowerment in the streets of LA today. I am very proud.

LAPD on horseback at the corner of 1st and Angeles

Angelino protestors: bathrooms are open in grand central market. Long line for the ladies’ room, so the men’s room has stalls open and has become gender neutral. Nancy Mace would die.

These dudes are bored as hell.

I love L.A.

At this point, somebody somewhere has to be working on a better q-tip, right?

Not the NYT subtly reminding me that Clubhouse still exists.

“In all eight tests, the self-driving Tesla did not slow as it approached the bus, struck the child-sized dummy and continued driving.” Hey, Austin: hide your kids. www.statesman.com/story/busine...

Tesla updates: -Sales down 16% in the United States -Down 30% in China -Two “refreshes” that look exactly the same and raise price by $5,000 -Swedish pension fund AP7 sold its entire stake -Robotaxi launch pushed back to the 22nd -Lawsuit in France from owners upset their cars are rolling swastikas

Yesterday Tom Zhu, Tesla’s Senior Vice President, automotive, unloaded $4 million worth of stock.

It is so goddamn depressing that people voted for this.

We go now to a live press conference with Marco Rubio.

To recap: -Oil futures exploding -Inflation not looking good -You are being taxed 55% on everything made in China -The Middle East is on the brink again -The President has deployed the military on civilians -Sitting senators are being manhandled and cuffed for asking questions It’s bad, folks.

Very clear-eyed piece on the Tesla house of cards by Andrew Dickson. Analysts are rarely this candid. www.marketwatch.com/story/this-w...

Take comfort in the fact that, if nuclear war breaks out, some of our troops are milling around with nothing to do and sleeping on concrete in downtown Los Angeles. Another brilliant strategic maneuver from Pete Hegseth.

A judge has ruled that control of California National Guard must be restored to California. It’s a win, but we’re nowhere near finished. Get ready for the truth social meltdown. www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/l...

Bar him from entering. Afford him the same amount of respect he gives you. That’s the only way to get through to him. www.thedailybeast.com/politician-s...

Tesla took down their robotaxi teleoperator job posting. Either it was filled in two days, they don’t want people talking about it, or both.

Now more than ever, it is very important to be careful about posting on social media re: ICE raids. I’ve seen multiple posts today about activity at a specific intersection that aren’t true. I verified. People are spooked, and we don’t need to contribute to a culture of fear.

Name ONE competent member of Trump’s cabinet.

If your skin is a different color, you don’t matter to them. If your skin is the same color, but your bank account has less than seven figures, you don’t matter to them. Hope this helps.

In a just world, this cretin would be beneath a bridge dolling out riddles to anyone who wanted to cross. Instead, he’s orchestrating a plan to tax you 55% on every item you buy from China.

Spaceballs II coming out 40 years later means there’s hope for other belated but necessary sequels.

In other news, word has been spreading that there are planned ICE raids on the east side tomorrow morning. Specifically along Figueroa. I’m going to keep an eye out, but residents should be recording as much as possible. Do not let these people go unseen.

I don’t like doing things like this, and probably won’t mention it again, but things are looking tight, so I’ve added a buy me a coffee link on the profile. If you do, absolutely do not give anything you can’t afford to. Back to regularly scheduled programming. coff.ee/zGRMBNdfZv

“I should bomb Iran.”

“Tesla and XAI are leaders in artificial intelligence”

So you are deporting hardworking people in the farming and hospitality industries that can’t be replaced, but now criminals are applying for those jobs? I thought you were going to arrest the criminals to begin with? Who buys any of this shit?

Listen. I hear enough stupid bullshit from regular poor people. I don’t need to get it from celebrities, too. ew.com/candace-came...

Trump has a 38% approval rating. It seems some people are finally tired of winning. poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

You know what? Fuck it. Why not? www.cracked.com/article_4590...
