it's crazy that you can be a writer for the new york times and not know who the current mayor of new york city is or the current budget of the NYPD, who despite a constant presence in the area failed to intercept a man walking around with a GIANT FUCKING LONG GUN

Just two good shows!!!

The problem will continue to be that nothing will actually fix this except proposals from people to her left. They all think they can get by with just discourse

Zohran’s plan is to open five grocery stores in food deserts, there’s absolutely no way that TCW ends up anywhere near one, he would find being near it to be below his station

Busses can never be free and groceries can never be government issued but also there will always be hundreds of millions of dollars to make absolute sure neither happens.

Tactical alert "We are one year away from the World Cup, how could this be happening?"

I wrote about this extraordinary moment in which LA leaders still seem to believe they can produce a series of megaevents in cooperation with a federal government that has occupied their downtown and is openly abducting their constituents

The difference is he’s advocating for the same thing under terminology instead of like, anti-woke alpha patriotism or whatever.

They’ve been doing straight-up incredible greatest hits sets the past two years but I peeked at their Deftones setlists and uhhhh the boys are back in town!

The Studio episode one gave me legit stress dreams and I could hardly even watch episode two. Best show in awhile!

It would so obviously print money if there was a multi-format multiplex anchored by the Cinerama dome in HOLLYWOOD I simply do not understand.

What a time to be alive!

😂

The Underlying Problem This is happening because some people are too rich.

Amid the ongoing political chaos it is important not to lose focus on what the root cause of all of this is: Some people have too much money.

Okay fine!!!

Like yes it would be nice to have a central figure we could rally around to accomplish good things, since that worked so well for evil things, but I assure you this is no longer the man.

Hot take: It’s actually good he’s keeping quiet, because he so clearly would not be any better at meeting this moment than any Democrat everyone is mad at.

Happy third anniversary to the time the Chicago Bears tried to rekindle The Troubles

Watching the tides turn against a certain New York senator who I have openly hated with every fiber of my being for over a decade.

Haven’t ever felt mounting horror in quite the way I did while reading this entire thread.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of people so forcefully committed to never winning anything again and missing the point so aggressively they’re on the verge of making the other side look strategic

Unknowingly saw him introduce Diabolique and now he's like... stamped onto that movie in my mind.

So far in 2025 I can't bring myself to hear any of the political podcasts I've listened to over the last 8-10 years, and I've gone harder than ever on Grateful Dead live shows lol

fitting that the first big air disaster after years of loud, insistent warnings that understaffing would cause exactly this outcome, happens at the airport named after the guy who crushed the ATC union

The spreadsheet brigade that's keeping LA's rental market from exploding There's an army of volunteers at their keyboards right now, all over the country, preventing the ignition of a secondary disaster by snuffing out LA's price-gouging rentals

You've probably read about the spreadsheet naming and shaming rent-gouging landlords. But with many displaced Angelenos fleeing to Airbnbs, now the team is taking on price gouging claims for short-term rentals, too

I just know Laura Dern is about to make a memorial post that will reduce me to ash.

People have gotten so into Nate Silver James Carville bullshit about politics that every argument now has to be about what will win elections instead of what you actually believe and when you end up at that point you don’t really have any values at all

btw Caruso has two other major gathering spaces in The Grove and the Americana and neither are being used for donation drives, community building, etc. They're literally just still acting as profit centers.

I’m not even completely against everything she’s been about since taking office but I assure you it’s fair game for her to take heat on this and other issues.
