When ladies with small boobs wear bras it's like "Teehee what if I draped myself with tiny unsupportive patches of lace" and I'm here for it because damn girl, customize the hell out of those little chest accessories.

Ronald Reagan invented student loans, cratered momentum from unions, & started a decline in the tax rate of the wealthiest people that has wrecked the efficacy of our social programs. But sure, it's the most vulnerable population, most of whom rent, who are responsible for the housing crisis.

I bought this pint glass at a dive bar/grill named Donkey's Place in Camden, NJ. They do not have vegetarian options. I really love drinking dark liquids in this glass.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

What a week, huh?

If you haven't been watching The Great North, I highly recommend binging the entire series. The series finale was beautiful and so much needed optimism. The perfect ending to a really fun show full of heart.

So I try not to give too many gory details about life with long covid, but I also think it’s important to give a clear picture of what can happen to anyone. Over the last yearish, I’ve become allergic to more than 70 foods. Today I lost soy. I’m not how long I can keep eating at all.

Our new healthcare payment won't be as much as we feared, but at my current pay rate, the increase alone is still going to be 3% of my earnings for the entire year. Others have it much worse. Nice dystopia we have here.

The Dems fumbled the shutdown so spectacularly, it can only be described as “New York Giants-esque”

Hey #Dodgers fans, did you have an interaction with the LAPD in Echo Park the night of the World Series victory? The Echo Park Neighborhood Council is compiling stories about what happened so we can address the issue. You can stay anonymous. DM me.

What's our next move? Where do we put all this anger? And if you tell me "This is a good thing, actually" I will put my anger on you.

How I feel right now, knowing there's about to be no way to afford our family's vital medications

I think we just lost our health care

I'm at a sports bar reading Rat Queens & paying zero attention to sports, & for some reason Trump is on the screen talking about football. I looked up to see a bunch of deeply unhappy people forced to stand as I guess he recited the Pledge of Alliegance? Anyway, everyone in this bar is baffled.

Y'all. Pluribis is so good. Vince Gilligan, you bastard.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

"without subjecting anyone to differential treatment." This is flatly false! Trans people with a passport that does not match with their plain appearance when presented to a border agent is subject to additional hassle compared to a cis person presenting a passport.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

I've been researching a book about set safety, & this week I had to add yet another name to my list of crew who died on set. If any crew members have witnessed a death on set & are willing to talk about how it happened & how we stop it from happening again, please reach out. Can be anonymous.

Hey if you live in Los Angeles and this inspires you to get involved in politics, might I recommend running for your neighborhood council. It's a great place to start your political journey. Here in Echo Park, we have a few seats open. HMU if you think that sounds cool.

Something about the Dodgers victory starting a blue wave, but like a baseball stadium wave but also a political wave. Who's really good with puns? Do something with that.

Mamdani was unaware Dick Cheney had died when I asked just now:

New awareness campaign

Cops were blocking our path home. I told one cop I just needed to turn down the street he was blocking so I could get to my apartment. "You can't always get what you want" - then forced me to turn around and head back into the very area they were preparing to disperse w nonlethals.

So many people out on Sunset blasting "Not Like Us". The joy on the street is incredible. Strangers are high fiving each other. Drunk ladies are dancing in the intersections. Fireworks are smoking up the air.

Echo Park is wild right now. If you're at Sunset/Echo Park, I'd suggest leaving. Cops are in full tactical gear. #Dodgers

Los Angeles city busses are currently girding their loins in anticipation.

Turtle dog power

Here's a list of Los Angeles area food banks compiled by @laist.com. laist.com/news/food-as...

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

I clocked my head on the floating stair while looking for my dog's toy. I'm okay now, but while I was doubled over on the floor, one dog came to my aid and sat with me. One dog continued to look for his toy, unconcerned about my wellbeing. This is the traitor in question.

At the local Dodger bar because I have bought in to a sports. A man told me his buddy bets $1k on the opposing team every game because he believes it makes the Dodgers win. I find this information distressing.

I just walked out the door, saw the Dodger traffic, and went back inside. The grocery store will wait until morning.

Mike Johnson's entire personality is old mom who doesn't watch the news at all but just feels like things shouldn't be so easy for poor people.

The Douglas, Echo Park's primary Dodger bar, closes at midnight.

Can you imagine being so great at baseball that everyone is terrified of letting you play baseball

We have an Echo Park Neighborhood Council meeting tomorrow night down the street from Dodger Stadium. I wonder if it's too late to add a petition to end this game to our agenda.

I might have to start paying more attention to baseball.

Remember when there was this big push to call educated people "elites" & insist that well educated leadership was out of touch? And now we have people in power who never studied history, never read about what happens when a government crushes its people so they can build shrines to themselves.

This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

If you want to get into politics but you've got a problematic past, volunteer for campaigns or run for a local office so you can prove you're no longer that guy. But if you want to jump straight to a high profile national race, you've given us no reason to think you're a better person.

On a whim, knowing nothing about it, I started watching Kevin Can Fuck Himself. I can't believe this show got made. It's genius, and I am obsessed.

The East Wing destruction is resonating because up to now, we all imagined we could fix this. We can vote in people who will reverse all this nonsense & put everything back as it was. But the East Wing is GONE. Nobody's reversing that. A lot of people are finally realizing how bad this is.

Jesus Christ, this costs $380 to enter. It really feels like almost every opportunity to get noticed in this business is specifically designed to keep the poors out. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Welcome to Echo Park, baseball Canadians. Enjoy our lake full of turtles & geese. Have you seen our bungalow courts on stairs? Buy home-made soap at our Friday flea market. Frequent our multiple thrift shops. Hydrate as you hike up a steep hill to get back to your rental car. We have much to offer.

This is gonna be great when I finally save up for that visit to Rekall so they can implant memories in my brain.

On Saturday at #NoKings, a guy who looked a lot like Wil Wheaton thanked me for my sign offering sunscreen and stuff to everyone. I realized today that it WAS Wil Wheaton. I love Los Angeles.
