Not sure how I feel about Google Mail using AI to creep through the emails I send. This is Gemini AI's "helpful" recap of the standup set I wrote, then sent to myself. Hmmmm.. sounds hilarous. 🙄

Just to be clear. The "T" in important, is NOT silent, (never has been.) Nor are the "TTs" in button, silent. Who does that? VThank you for your aTTenTion to this maTTer.

This is just the prettiest way any bank has informed me, "you're broke." Thank you Wells Fargo for your spring "refresh," it's lovely 🙄

There should be a "truth in naming" military offenses. No more of that toxic masculinity bullshit like "epic fury." Let's be honest: "Overthrow & Plunder" is closer to republican war policy. Or as in Venezuela, "depose & desert."

Just as the White House East Wing lies in rubble, the donations already been pocketed, the "ballroom" sits unbuilt. Just as the "war" on Venezuela resulted in deposing a leader, oil companies unwilling to play nation-building, it sits in limbo. Just as Ukraine is left to fight for survival, still.

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

How about if you're on "social" media, and you don't allow comments, except from your fans, you're not really ON social media, you're just posturing for people to read your "brilliant" takes? This isn't a bulletin board, folks.

Much to unravel here, but worth the read. I'll add a needed subtitle: "Being poor in America." Some caught up in this were paying rent to scammers in the building, thinking they were "renting" the apt. The hands-off investor firm that owned it, seemingly had no interest in "managing" it.

We are with you Minnesota 🙏 ❤️🙏❤️

I knew my Reps would vote 'no.' How can any of the "democrats" vote for that, in light of what's happening now?

For everyone who insists that American citizens aren't being targeted.

Make it viral.

Much love today, and every day. I hope the new year brings peace and comfort to everyone struggling right now.

The beauty of being alone for the holidays again, is not spending any time trying to decide which food was left in someone's car for 4 hours before it was put on the dinner table.

Went to my Nephew's hip hop show tonight. His crew is well-known in that genre. First time seeing them, and had a blast. I danced, holla'd when requested, and now I reek of weed. Everyone should venture out of their favorite genre and have some fun. I had a big smile on my face the entire time

and you KNOW he won't pay the first one. That's how he rolls.

and it was over a real estate deal. Not because he was "a creep."

This just feels right for today’s soundtrack. youtu.be/PErUiAyVoGc

Two more days to vote!

I asked the nice young woman at the local ice cream store today, if any actual otters were in their "Otter Sundae," advertised on their board. She giggled and said it was her first day, but guessed there weren't any otters in the sundae, AND it was the BEST "first day on a new job"question. Ever.

FFS does ANYONE in the GOP understand that "Consumer Confidence" is the economy's engine? It's not the savers or the profiteers that keep the economy healthy. I've been doing some work in independent grocery stores this month. They're failing. They're deserted, and charts they post in the back

Please share! If you live in Cali please save our democracy and vote YES ON 50!!! @conormcl2025.bsky.social @bluestormcomin1.bsky.social @ltwlauren.bsky.social @atoth99.bsky.social @bishopx50.bsky.social @gwenie.bsky.social @raykwong.bsky.social @mlipsitt.bsky.social @schultziepie.bsky.social

On a personal note. I was at a music venue the other night, and some guy grabbed my ass. Ugh. He walked by me with a big smile, then immediately grabbed me as he passed. Me, 5'4" me, called him out immediately. Loudly, over the band's sound. "Hey! You grabbed my ass! Don't EVER touch me again!"

I love this image.

Just an average girl who spent the afternoon in San Francisco, NOT in a touristy spot. It's not failing, or dirty, or dangerous. *Like all cities, there are some blocks with issues. What I found was a thriving and friendly community, safety walking around, families, students walking with friends.

USAToday is doing journalism right today. Their report of today's military "anti-pep" rally, was very straightforward. Hegseth really gets into that narcissistic alpha male bullshit. Serial cheaters usually do. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

So is it totally normal now for an American President to be screaming "DON'T TAKE TYLENOL!!" at a press conference? That whole spectacle was completely unhinged, wheels off the truck, even by trump standards. I felt like I was watching Mel Brooks in Blazing Saddles.

Oh, I guess #Disney got tired of the thousands of "I SUPPORT JIMMY!!" comments on all their expensive social media ads this morning, and blocked people from commenting. Cowards. #jimmykimmel

Same. #ABC

Filth

FACTS.

Head's up fellow Californians! Don't take it for granted that Democrats will vote for the Election Rigging Response Act. Word from friends is that some Democrats, especially older ones, are hesitant because they think it's not "fair play." Talk to friends and neighbors to address their concern

Best, ever.

Ending the week on a great note! #LetsGoCalifornia 👊 Can't wait to #VoteYes 🗳️

We're in our PAY ATTENTION era. Friends, don't let this slide. Everything in not a "distraction," it's overwhelm of horrible things, and they need to be framed as such.

Dear Don, FAFO

I'm sure this will come down shortly... trump has been itching to get Federal Troops in DC. With the "nukes on the White House roof" photo ops, redoing the oval office to look like Imelda Marcos' dressing room, moving the other presidential portraits, he's setting himself up to be a permanent ruler

The Apprentice ran 15 seasons. Also had Celebrity Apprentice. If anyone says that they have NO idea why people followed trump with such cult-like fashion, they're not trying hard enough to understand. America is fame-obsessed, and reality shows appeal to people who can't separate tv from reality.

www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-.... This is an important read. Human lives, including US citizens exchanged for Chevron. No doubt some insider trading, too. It's another trump admin "turf war" in the White House. No wonder Rubio always looks like a dog that got into the trash while you were gone

trump will visit "Alligator Alcatraz" but couldn't be bothered to attend the funeral of State Senator Melissa Hortman husband Mark, nor call Gov Walz. Yes, trump HAS talked about using "snakes or alligators" on immigrants. Guess he's visiting Florida's FEMA money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

We are the product of a "birthplace lottery." We are only born where we were due to chance, luck, and the decisions of our ancestors or those who dislocated them. Too many people wear it like proof that they are superior, but they had no hand in where they took their first breath.

It's being said the Iran situation is meant to distract attention to pass the "BB Bill." Friends, it's NOW more important than ever to stop this bill. The budget issues are cruel, but the most crucial aspect NOW is the unbridled power it bestows. Keep pushing back. campaignlegal.org/update/these...

Happy Juneteenth! Sending much love on this joyous occasion.

Just ran to DollarTree in LA. It was like a ghost town. In fact, the strip mall was eerily empty, much like the rest of the area where I am. I asked the clerk and she said that it's been like that for a few days. She said they're afraid of being picked up. We shared the sadness of it all.

This haunts me. A young man clearly doesn't understand what's happening, and is experiencing shock as he's grabbed. He was "doing everything the right way." He still has his folder of documents, he clearly dressed for a court hearing, not realizing it was a setup. www.tiktok.com/@wakeupworld...

I'll be with everyone in spirit at the No King protests tomorrow. I have a pesky anaphylaxis-level reaction to capiscum and other "non-lethal" pepper ingredients used on protestors. I can't risk exposure. I never had to think about it with previous protests, but now it seems a probability.

Know your LA. It's vast, and what people consider "LA" is not the City of LA, some of it is LA County. And within the City of LA there are areas which are not their own city. The CITY of LA has a population similar to the STATE of Utah. The COUNTY of LA, has (roughly) 3x the population of of Iowa.

So a Heard Island penguin walks into a bar. He squawks to the barkeep, “give me your finest American whiskey!” barkeep says, “that’ll be $200 dollars” Penguin: “but it was $100 dollars yesterday!” Barkeep: “well the tariffs hit, you want it or not?” Penguin: “No can do. I only have one bill” 🐧
