I love unnecessarily sexy statues. My favorite being Thirst Trap Lincoln from the LA County Superior Courthouse.

I had a cold sneak up on me. And it has left me listless and grumpy. So, I am just drinking hot tea and watching true crime shows.

This is FKN brutal 🤬

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

I guess I am at the age where all my friends' parents start dieing. Today I found out about an old friend's dad. A few weeks ago, another lifelong friend's mom. And last month, my mom's cousin It's not a good feeling. All the people we looked up to and loved as kids are leaving.

A US citizen cannot be "deported" from the US. US law defines "deportation" as the removal of a non-citizen from the country. We need to call this something else.

#Supernatural rewatches are kind of weird now with all the good music removed. Some of the replacement music is so bad, that it's distracting. Time to save up and buy the boxset.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

It's almost the sixth anniversary of my friend Tommy's death. Man, I really fucking miss him. youtube.com/watch?v=7wZk...

I am terrified right now. A lot of fucked up shit is happening to a lot of groups, and a lot of us are not feeling safe. I don't know about the rest of you, but after reading about all crazy I have been seeking comfort in supernatural/scary movies/shows where the monsters are not our fellow humans.

Elon Musk thinks he can gut the U.S. government like he gutted Twitter without facing any real consequences. He is dangerously wrong. His ransacking of the federal workforce is going to get people killed. slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is how banana republics work: “Interim leaders at the Justice Department have spent the past week drawing up lists of people whose work at the bureau has earned disfavor with Trump for a variety of reasons.” www.cnn.com/2025/01/31/p...

Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo. "Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

So, this show is pretty great. "Gary and His Demons" youtube.com/watch?v=bm4A...

Went to see my Grandad in the Care Home and he had his TV on and he said, "This Nazi reboot is a pile of shit, they need to do what we did and smash the ****s." Couldn't agree more.

Watched "One Cut of the Dead" last night. It was incredibly enjoyable.

Fuck it. Time to bake cookies.

Just watched another fun spooky Korean horror movie: "Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum". Great distraction from everything that is going on.

Heroic vet takes in 41 animals as owners flee ‘apocalyptic’ Palisades Fire: ‘I haven’t slept at all’. Annie Harvilicz, 47, opened her home and an empty pet hospital to more than 40 dogs, cats and a rabbit after their owners left them behind. #CaliforniaFires nypost.com/2025/01/08/u...

A new evacuation center has been opened in the city of Los Angeles for the #SunsetFire

Mandatory evac for Sunset Fire for LCB and eastern Canyon. West side of Blvd. Is Level 2 evac warning.

This is called Class. Gavin Newsom asked about Trump’s attacks on him. He gets choked up…

There's a fire right near my old home in Hollywood. My old neighborhood is being put under evacuation orders. Fuck. These fires are a nightmare. I hope everyone is okay.

It better not be. For someone to purposely ignite this horror show is evil.

#EatonFire #LAFires From Pasadena Humane. They have enough supplies, but need $$ for pet transport and ops to run 24/7 to take care of all the animals. You can donate at www.pasadenahumane.org

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

PSA: Just got an alert robocall instructing people in 90272 zip code and areas north of San Vicente to boil water. Not my area, sharing for those affected in LA and Santa Monica. #LAFires #PalisadesFire evb.gg/n#h5xppk2cqzd

SoCal is on fire right now and people on IG are making jokes because "It's California". People's lack of empathy and critical thinking is embarrassing. Fuck you all, and I hope you never have to think about evacuating because your neighborhood is burning down around you. #PalisadesFire #SoCalFire

Time for candles and reading.

Who else in Los Angeles has their power out?

Foreign spooky show rant: I have always loved spooky/supernatural/scary shows and movies. But over the past few years, my partner and I have been mostly just watching these genres because anything that is remotely real reminds me of current times and is too realistic/dark for me to enjoy.

Okay let's do quotes from books you like! “Sure, it’s scary when the monster jumps out at you. But I think the scariest thing of all is realizing that the monster was in the room with you the whole time.” Tails from the gas station vol 1 By Jack Townsend

I'd just like to say that I love that #books are trending on here. As for me, I'm currently reading "Tales from the Gas Station" by Jack Townsend. Fun read so far. Back to baking.

How often must we repeat “Do not obey in advance”? Christopher Wray’s assertion in his exit announcement that the FBI will remain devoted to the Constitution and keeping Americans safe is sheer mockery of the reality of Trump’s hostile takeover. Has Wray never heard of Kash Patel?

I assume Christopher Wray resigned to avoid being asked to do whatever illegal shit Trump is planning for the FBI to do. He’ll scurry off like a cockroach instead of standing up for the staff at the FBI and the American people. apnews.com/article/wray...

This is an unbelievable abdication by Wray and makes it so much easier for Trump to install a corrupt leadership under Kash Patel and weaponize the FBI. Wray is doing a huge disservice to the FBI past, present, and future.
