Woke as hell. Science nerd. Love animals (herps especially), books, cooking, and people who appreciate 'good trouble'. Used to like politics. Community, righteous anger, and dark humor will help us pull through this together - I hope.

Musk's portrait has been removed from the Deutsches Museum in Munich. Ask Germany if it was just a wave.

The San Diego Humane Society has taken in overflow animals from the Pasadena Humane Society, and they need foster homes: www.sdhumane.org

Unless you want more info/sources I'll stop posting these as I don't want to be annoyingly spammy.

Eaton Fire Emergency {{MetaTags.description}}

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed.

Please consider helping:

Eaton Canyon Fire Update - Pasadena Humane Update as of 6:30 pm on January 8: We have taken in over 300 animals due to evacuations and have staff and volunteers working nonstop to help with their care. [โ€ฆ]

John, more info (I am trying to stay on top of this as I am assisting people with exotic pets who need help). The Pasadena Humane Society needs foster care for large dogs BUT there is no way of knowing if these dogs are safe with other animals. pasadenahumane.org/eaton-canyon...

@WyldJungle on Instagram is a sanctuary in Temecula (S of LA) taking in animals. You could contact them and see if they need any help with transport. A veterinarian in Marina del Rey is sheltering animals in a clinic she owns that is currently empty. Contact her at dranniegwc@gmail.co.

Yeah you know what weโ€™re not going to do as another pandemic looms on the horizon?? This ableist nonsense about age and pre-existing conditions that is meant to trick people into not caring about each other enough to disregard basic public health precautions.

Streaming in 2010: You can watch an entire catalog of amazing movies and TV shows for a reasonable monthly fee

Streaming in 2025: our library is Batman movies and 28 seasons of a Tim Allen sitcom, it costs $159/month. We just destroyed the last piece of evidence that Mister Rogers ever existed

It helps to have something to sip so I'd really encourage you to start exploring various flavors and types of teas. I also like sparkling water with a touch of cranberry or cherry juice, or green or white tea - either chilled or hot - with a splash of either of those juices.

So rise the fuck up. Stop worshiping billionaires like theyโ€™re gods and start holding them accountable. Elon Musk isnโ€™t a genius; heโ€™s a parasite. Trump isnโ€™t a savior; heโ€™s a conman. Together, these two clowns and their cronies are dismantling your future while youโ€™re too busy arguing with your neighbors and loved ones.

My favorite part of Star Wars was the scene where the Resistance leaders decide against trying to destroy the Death Star and instead kick in $1 million each for Palpatine's inauguration.

As the oligarchy begins to take shape, this meme seems more prescient than ever. They have convinced you that immigrants are your enemy while they pick your pockets at the same time, youโ€™ve been duped. Itโ€™s the billionaires who are ruining this country,not migrants. Always has been. #RiseAndResist

If itโ€™s genuinely no longer possible to run a large social media website that isnโ€™t catering to the repulsive whims of professional bigoted harassers in 2024, then I think we need to be very clear about that, and then figure out how to destroy the conditions that led us to such a dark place.

I'm not embarrassed. Being embarrassed is for is for mispronouncing someone's name or spilling a cup of coffee on myself. I'm horrified and in despair.

whether you think itโ€™s fascism or โ€œcompetitive authoritarianismโ€ or whatever, this era will be characterized by Trump using state power to lean on his private sector enemies, and most of them will capitulate.

Ben Shapiro got a rude awakening when he went on a rant about the โ€œevilโ€ leftโ€™s anger over healthcare.

What he doesnโ€™t get? People across the political spectrum have the same frustrations w/a broken system.

The comments were a brutal reminder that weโ€™re all pissed offโ€”and itโ€™s not about politics.

I know Iโ€™m not the only one going insane. Theyโ€™re normalizing criminals. Theyโ€™re propping up a monster. Theyโ€™re forcing predators on us all. How long are we going to take this?

"Under Biden, the United States became the first country to face an attempted coup and not only fail to punish the coup plotters but allow them to hold office and make laws. There is no parallel in world history. Even Hitler had a prison interlude between his putsch and his presidency."

I feel like I'm going crazy. Is it just me or are Dems I thought I could count on suddenly going soft on Trump and the other fascists? There's either dead silence from Dems or godawful "let's find common ground" bullshit. What is going on here?

Let's not forget mainstream media other than Fox. Fox is far from the only guilty media group here.

He's not stupid, though. I very much doubt he has framed this as merely a confession, and I very much doubt he's unaware of its impact on his case.
