you know what's cheaper and safer than a ring camera? a fake camera. I've had one since my last porch theft three years ago and it even fooled the eye of a cop trying to get me to snitch on my neighbors. you can't subpoena a recording that doesnt exist.

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

saying your favorite childhood book was “gone with the wind” when we all know your parents did human trafficking? art.

i love that for the average american, activism is just watching TV the correct way

to be fair, the audience for this is always online since their families don’t speak to them any longer so they’ll be able to follow every scheduling change

re: Epstein — never forget this moment with a former boss who is also the daughter-in-law of someone who definitely met Jeffrey Epstein

The *best version* of the Epstein scandal is that a wide swathe of American elites was palling around with a known child predator and explicit eugenicist for years on end — and is now closing ranks to downplay the severity of his crimes and their own complicity.

Of course, prisons are a very lucrative business. Slavery of Black bodies built this country, then the 13th Amendment was ratified and made Black bodies into enslaved people again. Then the crime bill made more money for very rich white folks off Black and Brown ppl. And now…

speaking of romance, who is everyone’s go-to romance author? for me it is lisa kleypas all day every day

the fascism is global

the pro-billionaire protest is, like, definitely a joke right? I keep seeing people talking about it and posting photos and it appears like a joke to me.

I admit to being confused by some of the discourse re: protest on here. Community defense and mutual aid can in fact be forms of protest. Definition of protest is: "a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something." Community defense is an objection to something, for ex.

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Boycott the super bowl.

this is an incredibly creative tactic for community defense, and this guide breaks down exactly how you can do it. and it's so invigorating and heartwarming to see how much most of the people in the neighborhoods love the presence of these filter blockades and want to help

dreaming of a normal world where the democrats are the country's right wing party

crossed the caffeine rubicon and am now sleepy

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

guys. israel is run by america, not the other way around.

You all started it and we fucking finished it.

Lord forgive me, but it's time to go back to the old me: Trying to get dudes on the Internet to say "patriarchy" about the Epstein files:

my favorite scammer (jho low - gifted a piano to miranda kerr which the fbi could not get back because she built a room around it) and a redaction I wish I could see

LMAO: “I helped her commit violence against the unhoused of Los Angeles! How could she betray me so?"

such a weird redaction

what

all I want in this godforsaken world is people to say what they mean and mean what they say

tfw you leave Plato’s cave awfulannouncing.com/nfl/pat-mcaf...

professional photo shoot and announcement in the New York Times. Clearly committed to local politics and the people of Los Angeles and definitely not using the city to build a national profile. definitely not that.

“You have to think about independent voters.” No. You don’t. You’ve made them up in your head as a projection of what YOU believe but are too afraid to admit to others or even yourself. The amount of people in denial in this country is absolutely wild.

Politics aside, jumping into the race 3 hours before the deadline and blowing up every dynamic in City Hall is an incredible stunt.

How far we have fallen

at least Nithya as mayor will continue LA's long tradition of not having a mayor so much as a mayoral mist who is hoping to obtain a higher office somewhere else and occasionally is seen in the city

Nithya will unquestionably be a more effective mayor than Bass. But I’ve seen enough progressives take power and completely betray their values to know how this ends. Electoralism is a parasite on movements, consumes their energy, and co-opts efforts to create real change. Just look at 2020.

There is about to be a push of claiming Nithya is the progressive champion we need. I’d like to remind folks that she switched up on the grassroots base that got her elected in 2020. She spent most of her initial time in office sucking up to Nury Martinez (saw how that worked out lol). Beware!

nithya 🫠🤔😑

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

coming up with a new idea called "driving like shit olympics". no more bland, unprovable statements like "california drivers are the WORST" allowed. whichever state wins every 4 years gets a moonshot-sized public transit investment to get those fuckers off the road

Concentration camps: stories of as many as 50 people to a cell — men and women in some cases — with no windows and limited airflow, a single camera-monitored toilet, aluminum blankets, no showers and poor quality food.

If you're building a startup in 2026, you are expected to work with the world's largest venture capital firm (which is not even really a VC firm), where one partner strangled my neighbor to death for being Black, and another actively sought Jeffrey Epstein's counsel for years. This is *normal*.

For the record, I 100% support an Amazon boycott — I personally do not use Amazon, Prime, or shop at Whole Foods. But a consumer boycott can’t be the extent of it. Workers need to organize, speak out. More protests. Power.

I am sad and taking it out on the straw man in my head/randos in my feed.

it is funny*** the abuses outlined in the Epstein files are seen as extra outrageous by people ignoring the abuses occurring right now in their neighborhood prison ***making me want to walk into the sea

American athletes were cheered, and JD Vance was booed, and Italy is having a good night

cute guy, cute house, great direction from someone off camera who may or may not be me

tbh, I don’t get why people are going “omg read the article” about Waymo remote guidance. the point is this: gig drivers started to gain labor wins, to unionize. then these things showed up, with underpaid (and invisible-to-user) workers who are more easily exploited. the issue remains the same.

I began, skill-less, to make bad art last year and I recommend. Very freeing. No one will yell at you for it. If you make a physical zine, you can just leave it in the cereal aisle of the supermarket and you’ll never even know what happened to it.

I have a visceral need to see Pam Bondi snubbed by a PTA.
