desperately need my best friend's 9-year-old son to get a phone so i can text him videos of tatis dropping the ball

Talking about football on an mlb postseason broadcast should get you fired

“Blume’s clean, straight-forward prose—never indulgent, always sincere—still works like an emotional Swiss Army knife...” From Books That Made Me Gay: “Summer Sisters” by Judy Blume, a new Rumpus original column by Tess McGeer. ➡️ buff.ly/7kzEDW9

logging back in to be whatever the equivalent of a stage mom is but for my girlfriend who is way more talented than any loser kid!!!!!! here's her first column for The Rumpus! therumpus.net/2025/09/25/b...

1) Here's a photo of Gavin Newsom doing a stunt photo shoot showing him throwing human beings' sole possessions in the world into the fucking trash. No one better than this is available. 2) Shut the fuck up Democrat loser

“To truly cool the city down, depaving LA needs to be just as much of a priority as shading LA. We need more of the space that's devoted to steering and storing cars to be busted up for bioswales and pollinator corridors.” Absolutely. For now, this a fantastic and much-needed project.

ok did The Discourse go over how fucking horrific the original Norwegian article is yet. like the meme is funny but what happened to the kid is really scary and wasn't just deportation

"Supporters have told of having to dispose of full water bottles before entering the ground, of people in distress inside the venue and of lines that lasted 45 minutes to get access to water that was for sale." As a reminder, in 2028 the Olympics soccer finals will be held here in late July

L.A. is at a breaking point — and truly independent, on-the-ground reporting has never been more important. We’re raising $25,000 to power urgent coverage of what’s unfolding in our city right now. Your support helps us keep ourselves going. givebutter.com/LA_TACO_2025...

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

background info: a group of friends has been feeding hot meals in MacArthur Park in LA for 4.5 years. never missed a sunday, and we're about 3 years' deep into breakfast service on thursdays. it's 100% crowdfunded, so sharing to your networks or sending money keeps us going!

Read this horrifying testimony from Israel's massacre of people just trying to get food:

nobody had a brick? at pride?

in the immortal words of the los angeles dodgers' 2021 pride campaign: We Back! i made 7 trays of pasta salad for the residents of and around macarthur park, which was part of a full lunch! send $$ to keep us going; we're almost at 5 years of lunch! not one week off! venmo.com/mnmnadams

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this

bc i'm tired of hearing about this and elon musk's hair plugs, let's get this out of the way: every single ban on trans healthcare includes carveouts for the exact same medications but for cisgender people

If you don’t want to take the booster don’t. But to prevent adults from having the choice is depraved.

things you can miss me with: • calling reps doesn't work (it absolutely can & is arguably why there's not currently a trans sports ban) • calling reps isn't enough (that's true. this is a thread about calling reps.) • we're all doomed so why try anything (then don't try. i'm going to try.)🧵

was given beyoncé tickets and then laid off within a 24 hour period, once again proving newton's 3rd law

I can't think of a better encapsulation of everything wrong with cops than "cops beat, kidnap, and torture a Black guy for pointing out a different officer was driving recklessly"

Remember when Blake Treinen didn't go to see Biden and no one talked about what a hard choice he had to make or that he needed to comply with management?

god i hate seeing active mormon bryce harper

in the last week i have had three (three!!!) separate people ask me whether it is "safe" to do political organizing work right now. to which i say: if you believe not doing political organizing work will keep you safe, you are almost certainly in a position to take the risk

I had to screenshot and preserve this moment from Dodgers Twitter history

clothes clean out today ending with a full drawer for sports tees, damning indictment of lesbians

fucking insane to be wearing an urias jersey in 2025

I will always boo A.J. Hinch. He wasn't punished enough for the cheating. He should forever be a pariah.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

trying to stay off social/internet for most of the time means that when i do log in most of my breaking news comes from magic johnson tweets

I still remember when Egypt arrested AJ journalists and Western media institutions launched campaigns of solidarity. Israel has murdered 161 journalists - including Hossam Shabat and Mohammed Mansur today alone.

i wish you could support the irish without any of the boston celtic imagery

thank u haim for making it legal to walk around la while having beautiful straight brown hair

somebody in the alley behind my home is blasting jingle bells but instead of any words it is dogs barking. and yes the neighborhood dogs are losing their shit

I honestly hope that if people hear this coming from me then maybe it will sink in you DO NOT need to get arrested. We live in a surveillance state, an arrest now does not carry the same consequences as arrests in ‘68. The state is violent & will escalate on you. You should avoid arrest if possible

wait this is so good

the guilds doing digital screeners is destroying the one of the only positive time-honored traditions of the poor angeleno housesitter

mac mcclung!!!!!!!

i am continually reminding my (often less politically active) friends that feeling bad in response to a direct stimulus is actually a sign of your brain working well. it is not disordered or dysfunctional to feel grief or rage or sorrow or helplessness when the conditions around you call for them

ITS SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY This is a very important message you should share with the people in your life that may be hitting the streets to protest: never talk to the police! WATCH:

I know I have like zero reach here, but if you are in LA and even just kinda like musical theater, you MUST go to Old Friends at the Ahmanson before it transfers to Broadway. You won't regret it
