More Thing stuff from a while ago 👹🐕🧫🩸👽

looking forward to chopping all these fucking media conglomerates into a billion little pieces. four years of “Anti-Woke HBO” will be annoying enough to ensure there isn’t any remnant of ParamountSkydanceWarnerBrothersDiscovery left larger than a single department

We’re running for mayor, so let’s support our friends also running… in the LA Marathon!! 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏾🏃‍♀️🌴☀️ We’ll be convening 8AM March 8th at the corner Santa Monica Blvd and Bentley Ave to cheer on our running community with music, signs, stickers, and water. No athleticism needed! RSVP: luma.com/fjeww9qh

I find it really interesting how much it feels like consensus can be reached much more quickly on certain issues. Abolish ICE, ending support for Israel, the conditions of how strongly people are against harmful things seems to be shifting rapidly.

Sheri’s Ranch responded to the petition for union recognition by firing workers Jupiter Jetson, Molly Wylder, Paloma Karr, Adalind Gray, Genevieve Dahl, and Gwen Bunny. The union will be fighting their unlawful terminations, but for now, they need our support: www.gofundme.com/f/support-sh...

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

This town already feels like an eerie hollowed out shell of what it was even a decade ago when I moved here. This just accelerates all of the worst trends. I’m heartbroken.

It’s an odd feeling knowing that there will probably be a great book written about the last years of WB, Barbie, Sinners, OBAA and the total lack of quality big budget movies they make from here on out

Good decision for Netflix, a disaster for Hollywood and probably for America too www.thewrap.com/industry-new...

crying in the club* (*at my desk) bc stanley tucci took the USA women's hockey team out for a meal at his favorite restaurant and they gave him his own jersey

It was literally just tweaking a program that's existed in New York since the 1880s: he upped the pay and publicized the program. It's wild how little it required.

In the past year, metro Atlanta saw more evictions than all of New York City—despite having *one-quarter* the renters. Multiple Atlanta apartment complexes averaged an eviction a day. "The numbers are mind-blowing," said Grace Hartley of Princeton's Eviction Lab.

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

It’s truly surreal how hard they’re going after one of the most popular and effective electeds in LA

This Black History Month, we're shining a light on icons local to Los Angeles. Today, we’re honoring the late Reverend James Morris Lawson Jr. (🧵)

We are officially on the ballot. Our campaign will continue to fight for the Angelenos who are the cornerstone of our diverse and radiant city. Election Day is on June 2, 2026. See you at the polls 🌞

The reason you can’t give a single inch on anything be it trans rights or dignity for unhoused people is that they, democrats and republicans alike, will take it and say thanks what else is in your pockets? They won’t say thanks actually.

This story is related to that dog shit from earlier in the day about "feeling unsafe" on the subway and what happens when you sic cops on human beings.

They found him. He died. Another murder by our immigration goon squads

I can't even speak about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. All I have to say is that the people constantly distinguishing between ICE, CBP and the REGULAR COPS are fools. That's it.

Come knock on doors with us all end of the month; this Saturday February 28th from 11am - 2:30pm we’ll meet at Mar Vista Rec Center in the westside! First time knocking doors? No problem; we’ll train you and make sure you’re paired with one of our seasoned volunteers! 🌞 Sign up: luma.com/qekzik7d

After months of relentless rapid response in Minneapolis, members of Defend the 612 had a moment to breathe and reflect on the lessons they’ve learned, the grief they carry, and the citywide fellowship they hope will endure. The crisis is not over, and I’m grateful they made time to speak with me.

The critics of defund the police who come from the nominal left at this point are people who believe the function of the police, that is to say government agents who feed poor people into our punishment bureaucracy, serve a good and vital purpose in our society.

We went out to visit California City Detention Center and found a whole new fleet of vehicles waiting in the lot. @lataco.bsky.social

Trump Invites Victims Of Jeffrey Epstein Investigation As SOTU Guests

We need more housing across Los Angeles. As mayor, I will faithfully implement SB79’s community protections while ensuring we are increasing our housing supply. Every Angeleno deserves a safe and affordable home, and SB79 is one of the many pathways that will make this a reality.

you don't understand. that cop's former partner was one day away from retirement when he got hit by a snowball. he held his partner as he lay on the ground with a runny nose and waited with him for an ambulance. he never caught the sons of bitches who threw it

February is Black History Month, a time for us all to reflect upon the struggles, resilience, and triumphs of our Black neighbors. Join us in celebrating Black Excellence across Los Angeles history as we reflect on their legacies. Today, we want to honor the story of Geronimo Pratt 🧵

I think the powerlessness people feel as the state abandons more and more of their fellow Americans to suffer on the streets without having their basic needs met is way too easily turned into “I have a right to clean public transportation” that places the blame on the poor person in front of them

If you want to be cheered up, think about how many uppers and weird research chemicals trump is gonna be on for the state of the Union to keep him from falling asleep mid-babble, how stressed he is, and how very fragile his cerebral arteries are

It’s just not true. The Republicans are weird as FUCK as are the billionaires like Bezos renting out Venice for a wedding or musk having a baby factory like no the marginalised groups he is talking about are not “culturally” weird or anything of the like. The billionaires? Yeah SUPER FUCKING WEIRD

Gavin Newsom like “we need to be more culturally normal” as the president of the United States is the star of the Epstein files

The #2 song the year before Nixon died, which got a lot of play so he definitely heard it, was Whoomp! There It Is

“When they said 'you can fire all your workers,' it was just too good to question.”

billion dollar industry propping up the whole US economy:

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold. The Cybertruck may be the deadliest road car, for the occupants, ever sold. fuelarc.com/evs/its-offi...

It's hard to remember that most of the right is cynical, while also believing their own bullshit lol. They really do think anyone to their left supports cartels.

We're all sending the same $100 among each other as the rich get unimaginably richer by the hour.

Once again, these are not problems that can be solved by new laws & more court orders. This president & his senior staff do not follow laws or court orders.

It's shocking these days to see a local politician paying attention to constituent safety and quality of life. Sweating the details, taking the time to communicate. I can't help but compare to Mayor Bass here in Los Angeles who always acts like she'd rather be anywhere than LA sweating the details.

Los Angeles is ready for bold, transformational change. Join the movement at raeforla.com

This guy gets it.

this entire situation shouldn’t be too surprising but perfectly illustrates how so many men just despise women and that that hatred is actively an important aspect of the far right project

47% of all acquired 50 caliber rounds in Mexico trace back to a single munitions plant on the far end of the KC metro. A single plant with scandals because of its massive environmental impact and the local over reliance on its business for employment. By itself, 47% of all 50cal bullets in Mexico.
