Comics retailing legend Greg Ketter standing up to ICE in Minneapolis. Yes, that's tear gas. He's 70 years old.

I interviewed the Mexican American skaters from El Paso, Texas who appear in ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER. For LA Times’ De Los, we talked about their experience working on a major film and collaborating with PTA, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Benicio del Toro: www.latimes.com/delos/story/...

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

You’ll notice that new developments in generative AI are always accompanied by new ways of depicting women without their consent—undermining their autonomy and harassing them—almost like it’s a pillar of the technology and its evolution

I hope you all read this from me.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

Her name is Rosie: "A lot of vendors are undocumented and can't be here today. So those of us who can, we gotta show up"

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

Did someone say jizz? Hit it, Figrin D'an!

The new Neil Halloran documentary on Smallpox has completely changed how I see the RFK Jr. version of the world. Neil (softly) argues that realizing that disease isn't the fault of the sick /or/ the fault of the Gods ushered in a new future where we felt the authority to care for each other.

“The Empire is like America ten years from now; after: Nixonian gangsters assassinated the emperor and were elected to power in a rigged election; created civil disorder by instigating race riots…Then the people were exploited with high taxes, utility and transport costs..." - George Lucas, 1974

The choice to fixate on young girls and dolls is not only creepy, but as this writer states, "he casts those Americans who would complain about the economic pain that he is inflicting on them as feminine and hence as contemptible, deserving no more respect than spoiled children."

"For all the people in the comments saying, 'Why can't you talk about Star Wars without making it political?' Save it. Andor is not being subtle. Star Wars as a whole has never been subtle." Alex continues to not mince words and knocking these reviews out of the park. Bravo, my friend.

The Mexican Zoot suit, or Pachuco, was brought into the 21st century last night at the 2025 Met Gala. The suit is known as an act of resistance and “was an open rejection of the moral codes propagated by sanctimonious white middle-class Americans.”

"Stark’s team found that not only were Ramos’ vocal tissues healthy, but he was also moving structures in his larynx in ways that clean singers usually don’t and incorporating other structures that aren’t typically associated with singing." The endoscopy video is fascinating to watch!

Monday.

Words to live by.

RFK Jr. said autism "destroys" children and families. Autistic people beg to differ. I'm so grateful to the people who talked to me and my colleagues — and to the literally 200+ more people who offered to share their stories. I hope you'll read to the end for a mic drop of a final quote.

Fun conversation from a video podcast recording: Me: I'm trying to figure out why I'm more blue today My co-host: Probably the state of the world Me: I meant my lighting, but you are absolutely correct

Autism is genetic, runs in families, and is a natural & healthy part of human neurodiversity. There is no “epidemic”. The numbers of young ppl identified as Autistic has increased with the active efforts to identify Autistic children younger … it’s a phenomenon called #AutismAwareness.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

Preach.

oh cool I’ve been meaning to learn anxiety

Online shopping may be convenient, but it can't compare to going into a Joann store and feeling the texture of a fabric or the stretch of a knit. They also had great sales that made yards of fabric much more affordable. Sad to see this era end.

this duck just tried to sell me a used banjo

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Having droids teach kids sounds like something from Skeleton Crew, but even in Star Wars, it wasn't good! Replacing human teachers in the classroom with AI is an awful idea that will have devastating consequences.

The point below cannot be stressed enough. For example, here is an image that someone on my FB timeline (unironically) shared. It would be laughable if it weren't so scary how easily people have bought into this false narrative.

look at this little guy

"...because of Trump’s business celebrity, many saw him as a potential creator of opportunities." This is a key point and why much of my extended Latino family voted for him. They believe the lie that he's a successful businessman who wants to help small business owners like them.

Really hard to get any work done when there's a constitutional crisis on

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad. GET YOUR NEWS FROM THE NEWS PBS Newshour is FREE FOR EVERYONE. youtu.be/PMOYN8JWdUk?...

GEORGE LUCAS IN 1999: a trade embargo is going to spark the galactic reckoning and collapse ME IN 2025: ah, okay

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

"Our local news broadcasters have produced incomparable visuals and news-making interviews about the latest on the ground. Our local news photographers have produced stellar work showing the tragedy and heroism of civilians and firefighters on the front lines..." Great piece by @mattdpearce.com 👇🏽

“Conditions for a January firestorm in Los Angeles have never existed in all of known history, until they now do.” This is so much bigger than a single mayor or a single budget cycle. We cannot keep living like this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Direct hit on the Sunset Fire in Hollywood. 🎯 Nice work, @lafd.bsky.social #LAFD c/o @nbcla.bsky.social 👨🏼‍🚒

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Hmm can we workshop the name please? They’re going to be bullied by the skibidi kids

This has the makings of a Black Mirror episode.
