We've got THUNDER and LIGHTNING going now.

I hate having to make a post like this every few months but this person is a deranged incel stalker who made direct threats against my physical safety some years ago and has it out for me and a friend because we didn’t remember talking to him on Tumblr over ten years ago. Please block accordingly.

Now sitting in on the hearing in front of District Judge Georgia Alexakis, who's considering the government's motion to dismiss the federal assault indictment against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Santos Ruiz

I'm going to take this moment to issue my periodic disclaimer that my BlueSky DMs do not work. If you send me a DM on this platform, I will never read it and I cannot respond to it. @support.bsky.team

Half a century has passed since Franco's dictatorship ended with his death, but some in Spain still valorise his rule.

A grand jury in Texas has indicted the man accused of killing “King of the Hill” voice actor Jonathan Joss on a murder charge.

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge. The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws. Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired. They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

Another depraved phone call. Rep Eugene Vindman (D-VA): “After the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, I reviewed a call between Trump and the crown prince. The American people and the Khashoggi family deserve to know what was said on that call. If history is any guide, the receipts will be shocking.”

just two guys with super normal attitudes toward journalists

JANUARY GIALLO 2026 Los Angeles lineup coming soon. Get your straight razors and black gloves ready…

TL/DR Eyal Shalom's diversion deal is probably over. There's a court date set up in January to hear testimony from his clinicians, and from there it could go to trial or there could potentially be a settlement with prison time.

I went in this morning to give my victim's impact statement and it seems to have had an impact. But first, I was informed by the DDA that Eyal Shalom was not completing the counseling sessions that are required to complete the R.E.A.C.H.H program and the judge was not happy about that.

Standby for news.

Court update: The dumbass went to the wrong court. Also, he's not attending his court ordered appointments.

youtu.be/_wCIS8KLzdg?... a constant question

I didn't realize it, but I already have primitive chemical warfare option number two ready. I ate something with a lot of cream and garlic and I think I'm ready to crop dust the DA and the scumbag or just all the scumbags.

Briefly considered not taking a shower as a primitive form of chemical warfare against the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.

If it says anything to you about what tomorrow is going to take out of me, I'm currently laying down because taking my clothes out to the laundry room just wiped me out.

Yep, tomorrow is the day where I get to go confront the scumbag who used tear gas on me, a journalist, while I was trying to do my job at the UCLA attack in 2024. They already gave Eyal Shalom diversion but now I get to give them hell.

youtu.be/Uai7M4RpoLU?... Mood, except it's not love.

I haven’t been this excited for a bubble to burst since I was a toddler.

i did NOT expect this ending

the ending here

Wishing a joyous 83rd birthday to the legendary Martin Scorsese!

I took 0 days off last week and my body has made an executive decision that I should gfm and that lying down is all I've got going on in my future.

I got a tip a few months ago that ICE was planning to use tribal airports for ICE flights. I spent a few hours scouring flight data, found no evidence of this, and let it go. But perhaps they all just said no? If anyone has more info, hmu on signal at gbrockell.44!

The definition of audacity: ICE asking WA tribes to host detention centers. They got a very polite “fuck off.” “The Nisqually people are not in favor of, nor will the tribal council allow, the detention of individuals by ICE on our reservation or in our facilities.” - Tribal Chair E.K. Choke

UPDATED: Washington state epidemiologist on first human infected with H5N5 bird flu strain, different from H5N1 that has been spreading widely: “This is a severely ill patient.” But officials say no change to public health response or guidance. My story. 1/3 www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

So that's why he's called the head of state

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

'Matt Gaetz Raped A Homeless Teenager' is what you mean. A teenager with a homeless parent? What? The fuck? Did she have a home and not allow her parent to live in it? Ended up having sex with? What? Yeah clearly you guys been caping for pedos long enough and you understand the assignment here

Well that's an interesting way to cover the story, NYT.

Zac Segal, Boston U runner and Young Republican alerted ICE to a car wash in Allston MA which had immigrants working - he said they were taking US jobs. ICE raided the car wash. All detained had legal status according to their lawyer. Segal was born and schooled in London. 🙄

Did they not check out her podcast before casting her? lmao even…

So far, four California farms have tested positive for bird flu.

According to CDC's tracker, about 870 farmworkers had been tested for bird flu between March 2024 and March 2025. Another 10 were tested in April. Zero since then 🙃 See for yourself @waybackmachine.bsky.social www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/h5-...

I was wondering about the lack of human cases reported with these latest bird flu outbreaks. I don’t think the virus has become less transmissible… so I think cases are flying under the radar… in the case of certain places… the radar is not even turned on. 🧐

WA state confirms first bird flu case in a resident this year “Please limit your contacts as best as possible with wild birds (and) domestic animals, and certainly contact your health care providers if you’re ill or have these contacts.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Bird flu and dengue.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:
