The awesome video team at the New York Times helped me make this video about the shutdown and Obamacare premiums.

I’m weirded out the new Nancy Cartw*ight podcast was on my The Powers That Be feed considering she’s a very devoted long time Scientologist. Rumors abound that she single-handedly paid for the Valley Org and has defended the cult for decades. Probably a corporate thing but still. @puck.news

NPR’s Rachel Martin on Morning Edition really kept it together this morning and I hope she doesn’t lose her job.

FEMA refused to test residents’ soil in the Eaton and Palisades burn areas for potentially hazardous fire contaminants. So, we did it ourselves. Read our full investigation for @latimes.com here: www.latimes.com/environment/...

My favorite thing about growing up Christian and going to church in LA is wearing jeans and casual clothes to church. Happy Easter 🤍

Burbank Airport protest tomorrow, Friday 4/18, at noon against Avelo Airlines for agreeing to run ICE deportation flights

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

16 year old: I was looking at an HR Giger book yesterday… Me: Don’t do that.

IDC IF SHE IS LIKE A SISTER TO YOU, TELL THAT SPARROW BITCH TO MIND HER BUSINESS!!

Circle Jerks are ripping it UP in the Mojave tent! #coachella

Can’t convince me the United States isn’t a rotten dumpster. Wooooo boy we are fuuuuucked.

FEROCIOUS SET

What’s this about crowds at Coachella? Charli xcx and Green Day are out here causing earthquakes.

Our Last Pop Star may she reign.

You guys, I know I’m an Old™️ but who is Benson Boone for? Is he like an American Harry Styles? Clearly he’s big enough to get Bryan May to do THE solo in a Bohemian Rhapsody cover and the high profile sundown main stage slot. #Couchella

The Go-Go’s are criminally underrated. Belinda’s voice is better than ever and the band sounds SO tight. Gina Schock is so slick. #Couchella

I came On Here to see if anyone had posted about a 911 report of “100 Crips” gathered at Cheviot Park and was quickly reminded that that’s not what This Place is for. 😔

"Haha they can't do that! That's illegal!" We need to abandon this narrative strategy. Very soon, many things will be deemed "legal" & made legitimate by the courts. This is why it's important to remember that institutions will not save us. The Democratic Party will not save us. It's just us.

LITERALLY the first report or post I’ve seen using her actual name.

trying to "its a prank its a prank" our way back to a manufacturing economy

Thinking about Jillian Lauren, her sweet boys and her husband. I hope she’s home soon.

The way I spit out my water 💀💀💀

STUPID AS FUCK if they think Levi’s is coming back, GM is gonna roll out trucks or Joe Smith’s Tool & Die gonna fire up the cuh-chunk machine and start making screwdrivers. DUMB DUMBS.

Woke up just to say Shrinking sucks.

The LA jails just posted their 15th in-custody death for this calendar year:

That’s my Rep!!!! Come on @repkamlagerdove.bsky.social

I would say we’re about six months out from Trump using his masked team of thugs to arrest and disappear progressive journalists, podcast hosts, etc. If I tried anything in last 10 years it was to try and warn you what a s*ck, criminal punk Trump is and has always been. Be ready.

It’s so so so good. Episode 2 is BRILLIANT 👏👏👏

I want the Scorsese “Jonestown” movie like NOW #TheStudio

Really wish Metal would free themselves of this Nazi bullshit. The symbol in the center is a Black Sun.

My 16y was looking for a new book. I gave him my unread copy of the Jane’s Addiction oral history “Whores”. I’m a fan and desensitized to their *whole deal*. We were talking abt the book and I was all wait there’s a lot of drugs and he’s all 👀 YEAH. Xiola was 14?? And she DIED? Mom of the year! 💀

After many years of reporting and writing, the day is finally here: THERE IS NO PLACE FOR US is out today. I poured everything into this book, and I hope it ignites outrage at the fact that so many people in the richest nation on earth have been deprived of one of the most basic human necessities.

Happy 3/23 to everyone in The Militant's native environs of Central Los Angeles today! #323Day #EchoPark

Los Angeles jails posted their 12th in-custody death for this calendar year. At this pace 2025 is on track to be one of the deadliest (or possibly THE deadliest) year of the past two decades for LA jails:

Too many people think fascism looks like The Empire in Star Wars but it's usually pure Spaceballs

Any Danzig fans in LA?? Tickets are 4 for 1 for next Saturdays Forum show 😬😬😬 I got 4 2nd row 100 section seats for $118 which is bonkers. @thescenestar.bsky.social www.ticketmaster.com/danzig-ingle...

No one yet knows how sea life will respond to polluted runoff from the L.A. fires. Kelp may be one of the first species to tell us. When divers descended off Malibu, they found the first 3 feet of water choked with dirt and soot. @corinnepurtill.bsky.social www.latimes.com/science/stor...

The culture media's migration to Bluesky simply hasn't happened yet. If I want information about pop culture or fashion, or if I just want to scroll through conversations about it, they're all happening on Twitter, still

I really want to listen to the Billy Wilder episode of You Must Remember This, but I can’t get past the insane and unnecessary accent work Kar*na is doing for the Billy Wilder quotes.

Farming groups are looking to stabilize their workforce amid the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration. But which workforce should be prioritized in legislation: the undocumented domestic workers who have toiled in the fields for decades or foreign guest workers on H-2A visas?

The room is on fire and I’m fixing my hair.

The room is on fire and I’m fixing my hair.

Perhaps the most depressing part about the last couple of months is that every awful shitty thing that’s happening to this country is self-induced. People asked for this. None of it had to happen.

Get in loser we’re running this country like a business and that business is Enron
