A conspiracy theory I have is that people put hot sauces like Tabasco on everything not so much for the pepper as they do for the benefits of adding vinegar to a dish and that’s what they should be focusing on and recognizing. This conspiracy theory has not gotten traction due to “lack of interest”

Guys, there's no evidence ICE is buying guided warheads. The contract in question is for normal distraction devices, the kind they've been using for years.

Gail's mind on an average day:

books should have an anti-acknowledgements section where the author talks shit about all the people who fucked them over while they were trying to write the thing. not bc I personally want to write one but bc I love gossip

It’s time to take their money Expropriate the right It’s time to start the class war on the Muppet Show tonight

Not sure I get Trump's new vision for the White House

whomst amongst us

No matter what they try and sell Canadians, no clear-eyed assessment of what data centers have done to the towns where they’re located can be described as positive. They will decimate your water supply, ruin your municipal infrastructure and poison the air. The new construction jobs are temporary.

Reading this letter to the Oregon National Guard written right as Brig Gen Gronewold assured the state senate subcommittee that they were “the home team,” and were not there to serve as ICE agents and would “protect protesters”. In the letter to troops, he discusses what federalization really means.

This new doc on HBO is about the appalling conditions, state violence, and corruption inside Alabama prisons. A lot of it was filmed by men inside on contraband cell phones. Highly highly recommend

the slay the princess artbook has some truly awesome visuals that feel like they only work in a medium like this

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

The federal government "jawbones" private companies by pressuring them to silence voices they can’t legally censor themselves, and Big Tech has erased ICE‑watching apps and an ICE-Sighting Chicago Facebook group. The full story: lataco.com/big-tech-ice By Nik Venet

If you see an otter steal a surfboard, no you didn’t.

And then you’re 30

upsetting to hear that Paul Thomas Anderson had a homeless camp cleared in order to film scenes for One Battle After Another

I love birth control and abortions and whores

NEW: Scientists are using non-targeted analysis to detect wide swaths of whatever chemicals are lingering out there, ones that government agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aren’t looking for or don’t even know about. This story was first published by @knowablemag.bsky.social.

"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

Folks as of today there's a non-zero chance that the White House collapses and kills everyone inside. Have a wonderful day.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

Hey party people, someone broke in while I was sleeping and stole my laptop. My books are all backed up, thank God, but my renter's insurance has a high deductible and if you like my work I'd appreciate some support right now patreon.com/scumbelievab...

the thing is that even if - through some absolutely absurd, farcical set of circumstances I can’t even conceive - an innocent person did accidentally end up with a tattoo they only learned later was a Nazi symbol, the only appropriate response is “holy shit get me to the laser removal clinic TODAY”

At #COP30 next month in Brazil, the animal ag (and broader ag) industry is likely to be as active as the fossil fuel guys obstructing commitments to emissions reductions. I got a crash course on how they work from the great @profsecchi.bsky.social and Kathrin Lauber and terrific new @cssn.org book

The Inspector General system is basically broken now. Most IGs have been fired, most positions remain vacant. Those who remain or would take the job pose no risk to holding the regime accountable. Congress added more barriers to Trump firing IGs after his first term. He just ignored them.

Los Angeles, CA - An SUV whose license plate appears on ICE tracker is being towed away from the hospital. I was in a meeting and didn’t see how it happened. Protesters watching the vehicle get towed away, some are cheering.

I have long been convinced that the History Channel deciding that Nazism needed to be "exciting" was a bad turn for us all.

Intentionally triple-tapping a group of easily identifiable journalists who are IN A HOSPITAL can in no possible scenario be described as an "error".

a year ago, a group of us got together to envision what a pple focus Sudanese paper would look like. today that vision is released into the world. introducing The Free Sudan Gazette- an independent, open-source platform documenting Sudan’s struggle for liberation: www.freesudangazette.com

The whitehouse next month:

If you are on ICE watch in the Rogers Park vicinity please have a buddy and exercise extreme caution. ICE has assaulted verifiers today and arrested at least one of our people. If you are vulnerable to ICE in this area, I recommend staying inside if possible.

the shameless scabs who now work at VICE after they laid off our entire staff have been contacting multiple colleagues of mine trying to get them to do free labor for their new TV show. if they contact you, please be a homie & tell them where to stick it !

Greetings! I’m here in South LA, in front of Santee High School. Federal law enforcement rammed a vehicle, and shot at least one suspect during a law enforcement operation. One man who streams on Tik Tok, Nick, was reportedly hit. One US marshal hit. Lots of preliminary info.

We're sending out cancellation of FLAS (Foreign Language & Area Studies) fellowships to dozens of students today, bc Trump has illegally refused to disburse year 4 of our DoE grants. Congrats to everyone in the GOP who is laser-focused on 🇺🇸 national security & the threat of rising 🇨🇳 to 🇺🇸 hegemony.

🪚 Ten people a day lose fingers to table saws. A simple safety rule could’ve stopped it — until the Biden admin pulled the plug. 📬 From today’s Lever Daily by @veronicaricco.bsky.social → www.levernews.com/count-your-f...

It’s not just FLAS. It’s all the Title VI area studies centers. And dozens of labs & postdocs & research opportunities for undergrads funded by NSF and NIH grants. All gone. But the public won’t be aware of the actual consequences unless our leaders loudly & collectively explain to them the crisis.

NEW for The Ten Four: A crowd of hundreds gathered in the late afternoon Saturday outside the Metro Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, turning what began as a nearly universally peaceful rally into officers dozens of batons. latenfour.com/2025/10/20/p...

Well if private equity does what it did to every other thing it touched, the military will be stripped for parts and sold to the highest bidder by 2035

Same line LAPD keeps using to justify force and detainment of journalists at protests

So here is the City Attorney's funding request that includes paying Best Best & Krieger as outside counsel in the LA Press Club/Status Coup case against the city. It asks for a three-year contract, and an initial $250,000 amount to help handle that case. cityclerk.lacity.org/onlinedocs/2...

Oak Park resident Scott Sakiyama reports feds pointed weapons at him across from an elementary school today. They then arrested him and took him to Broadview. While in custody, he saw agents texting in a group chat called "Chiraq Team 2." Full testimony: www.facebook.com/share/p/1GqB...
