Lots of Starbucks closing here in LA, including the popular one in Los Feliz at Vermont/Prospect. (SBUX made $875M in profit last quarter. Not enough for them, I suppose.) www.timeout.com/los-angeles/...

This is exactly the sort of rancid beltway perspective I think it harming the country. Advocating for Dems to let the healthcare subsidies expire because it will eventually hurt GOP more. But people will get sicker and people will die! thehill.com/opinion/camp...

I really loathe the ”didn’t see it” and/or “haven’t heard about it” defense from politicians. Ignorance is not a defense. They should be required to follow up when they HAVE seen it (I know I know, they already have. You know what I mean).

He advocated for the murder for Salman Rushdie.

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

Also please take note she is an artist. An ARTIST. They are not deporting “criminals.” That is a LIE. They are kidnapping artists and violating due process. We all need to speak out loudly in protest against this every time it happens. Please share and help Tucker May find her. /2

It seems like in SCOTUS' vision, there is really only branch of government that can actually do anything, one branch to rubber stamp whatever is being done, and one branch that cannot really do anything.

Imagine how many vulnerable people in this world we could definitively help with a couple of hundred billion.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

Ticketmaster has got to be Top 5 worst companies in the world.

Amazing news!

Et tu, Apple.

Do not comply in advance.

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

Oh good! I needed a new book at the top of my "books I will never ever read" list.

Google forcing this annoying "Generate AI Column" into an empty cell every single time you enter into one is soooo annoying! I have every single available "Suggestion Control" off.

NEW: Mexico could displace ALL US gas imports for power generation, with solar and batteries ☀️ The country’s abundant sunshine means it can become a global solar superpower and boost its energy security at the same time:)

I think the Chicago (Red) Stars will pick up their second straight win tonight. #nwsl

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

Spot on. The First Amendment in on death watch right now. Ht @johnfugelsang.bsky.social

Finally a tiny bit of good news!!!’

A totalitarian movement must never achieve its goals, as that would eliminate the need for the movement itself. Even in victory, new enemies must be created in order to justify further cruelty and domination.

Oh phew!! mynewsla.com/crime/2025/0...

Reminds me of this quote from Doc Holiday in Tombstone. "A man like Ringo has got a great big hole, right in the middle of him. He can never kill enough, or steal enough, or inflict enough pain to ever fill it"

This sounds really interesting. Here in LA the homeless problem remains severe. Despite the lip service from the pols, doesn’t really seem like we’re making much progress.

Transparency is the best!

Try to bend over backwards to appease and this is what you get for your contortions.

I wish somehow the artistic Hollywood elite could band together and buy Warner Bros. Makes me sad that all these media conglomerates are always buying and selling it. Such an LA institution and the lasts decades it seems like it’s primarily a corporate asset to bleed/work over.

Incredible that this entry is nearly twenty years old. www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?t...

There's a little snake of a street above Hollywood Boulevard where Warren Zevon used to stay, site of the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel from "Desperados under the Eaves." A sign should go up to honor him. If you agree, please sign the petition to the city! esotouric.substack.com/warrenzevons...

@ronsexsmith.bsky.social I made a country-ish tune named after our home province (but not really about it). I rhymed it with "cold." 🤷‍♂️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQN_...

@bsky.app I guess this is for you. 😀

Ok I’m in.

Information environment has reached its grotesque conclusion in that there is a very real killer out there who has not been identified, apprehended, or investigated, a detail practically inconsequential to nearly every commentator’s purposes.

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Let's honor Warren Zevon with a City Square in Hollywood! c.org/8MjBZz8XDG

Theme songs were amazing and should be brought back immediately! Rockford Greatest American Hero Fall Guy! (sang by the star!)

Extend this to all live events, and I’ll personally carve his visage into Mount Rushmore.

I feel like I could eat fifty peppermint patties.
