New book by RFK Jr, a sequel to his first book, The Very Hungry Brain Caterpillar.

"Edwards, a Black artist who turns 71 in March, says she was born and raised in Miami under segregation. She says she has experienced institutional racism over the course of her career. But 'this is just direct,' she says." www.washingtonpost.com/entertainmen...

I’ll never understand people who collect animal carcasses. Also the punishment for these endangered species hunters is appallingly light www.latimes.com/california/s...

10/10 No Notes. Please nominate for Academy Award short.

Elon made his money on hype. Self-driving cars, trips to mars, and a hyperloop to boot. The insanely inflated share price that props up his fortune is where he's most vulnerable. This piece reminded me of the anti-fur movement and the fear of getting splashed with red paint

I think vegan trans computer savants on a samurai rampage is the actual stuff of republican nightmares www.latimes.com/california/s...

Obama had this thing that it wasn’t enough to elect him. We had to put on our “marching boots” and put in the work as citizens. Maybe, but I think this mentality is why a lot of people hate their representatives right now. You go put on your member of congress boots, hon

“I still believe it is possible to stop what is in motion, but the window is closing.” I don’t want to think about it either but we need to wake the fuck up before it’s too late www.theverge.com/elon-musk/61...

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

I keep seeing variations of this story and I get it but also where the fuck is it supposed to go? Wait actually let’s send it to Florida

You either want more housing or you don’t. You want more homelessness or you don’t. It doesn’t work if you prioritize homeowners above the rest of the city—the majority of the city, in fact. www.latimes.com/homeless-hou...

Wild how these real life villains love to name things with references to scifi books and movies that are all about how evil people like them are

If you haven’t been following, Kluwe got arrested for protesting trump worship in Huntington Beach. I appreciate holding publishers accountable for their actions

Elon Musk has taken control of the puzzles

Trump 2.0 ranges from “that’s dumb but whatever” to “this is horrifying” to “oh we really are all going to die” www.theverge.com/news/613284/m

The technology team at the CFPB was gutted overnight, diminishing the financial regulator’s ability to oversee tech firms and traditional financial institutions participating in the digital payments space — like, say, Elon Musk’s X. www.theverge.com/policy/61293...

You know elom is itching to find a way to intervene here

I literally cannot listen to the Daily because this behavior is so annoying

Whenever I see a doodle or a French bulldog, I think about this article. The designer dog market depends on middle men and con artists pretending to be local breeders www.latimes.com/california/s...

Moderate Democrats and lefty Democrats constantly blame each other for losing elections. The difference is one runs the party and the other is Sisyphus

The one good thing that might come out of this dictatorship www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...

"ESPN wanted Luka on national TV, I'm gonna give them Luka on national TV"

I love the LA Times. I have deep family ties to the times. But I’m getting a little fed up with headlines like “drought wreaks havoc on Southern California” being followed weeks later by “major rain predicted for LA. Here’s why you should be worried”

Just dropping this here for posterity

I hope there are backups

We need less of this in congress rn

Basically they want us to die

It’s almost definitely a spam text but the timing with the Anthony Davis trade has me wondering 🤔😆

In my experience working in local politics in LA, literally every legislative win happens because the labor movement is behind it. Raising the minimum wage, building affordable housing, increasing services to unhoused people. We should be putting all of our effort into expanding union membership

Wow. it must feel terrible when someone takes something you made and uses it without permission or payment

Is he talking about the rain? I’m so confused

This is great. trumpgolftrack.com h/t @adamparkhomenko.bsky.social

I wonder if they charged for cleaning fees www.latimes.com/california/s...

There is now an easy way to buy ebooks from local bookstores instead of an evil corporation: bookshop.org/info/ebooks

We don’t want to go to bed
