The Cook by Maylis De Karangal
And every Democratic Senator voted for his confirmation.
I live in a normally apolitical suburb of Los Angeles and 10,000 showed up on April 5.
Iām halfway through it - people, buy this book!
Itās disgusting how football keeps embracing this guy. Anyone who defends him should read the ASPCA reports on how the dogs were killed.
No way! All these bookstores here, that sucks.
Thank you!
How do we help him?
I feel seen, thank you
Blocked by a federal judge. Thank you ACLU
The people I see on my socials defending the podcast and who in general stan Newsom the hardest are white liberal women who live outside California, donāt really know much about him but have anointed him as their political savior.
Is there a good Dem candidate to run against her yet? Iām in a safe LA County district, I want to donate to Young Kimās opponent.
You donāt even live in California and doubt you know much about Gavin Newsome. I voted for him twice, but he has areas that are problematic. This was a tone deaf but cynically political move.
Exactly - people are defending him without hearing the podcast. I could only stomach a bit, but he was chuckling, flattering him, pointing out where Harrisās campaign was disappointing, etc. To Kirk, a total sleazebag
Why donāt you listen. Itās not just the words but the tone.
The short clip I saw was sickening.
Primary him
Please let this happen
Iām going to be honest, it took me more than a minute to realize the hook. Beautifully acted.
You clearly donāt know anything about that area of Idaho.
Great idea
I hope you stay in the public eye. Weāre desperate for leaders.
Delta is just giving them the 30k, no strings. Theyāre still free to pursue additional litigation.
I should have been more specific - he was endorsing the Canada/Mexico tariffs now on pause. Those werenāt designed to protect workers.
He was specifically endorsing Trumpās initial Canada/Mexico tariffs.
He specifically endorsed the initial Canada/Mexico tariffs.
Heās better but heās pro tariffs
Was listening to an interview with Anthony Romero, head of ACLU, today. He said if Trump defies the courts than we have to shut the country down.
As an older person who will be traveling, I just went and got another MMR vaccine today. Not taking chances on being exposed to one of these idiots.
Another faded child star?
Very well stated. Would like to see this on government and school walls instead of the Ten Commandments.
Well I am kind of shocked. Crypto mining energy usage would seem to be in direct contradiction with Sierra Club principles?
What? And waste all that Disappointed Dad energy?
Youāre voting for Trumpās nominees and normalizing him soā¦ whatever.
Add Elissa Slotkin and Andy Kim to that list.
Thank you, this is wonderful.
Iāll never believe that people truly thought a guy who declared bankruptcy 6 times was good for the economy. Itās just a good cover for liking the racist, sexist, anti LGBT stuff.
People donāt realize how much MAGA there is in Southern California.
Rick Wilson wrote the Willie Horton ad campaign against Dukakis. And he was an acolyte of Lee Atwater but now is going to lead Dems out of the darkness.
Marriott
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
March 15 is way too late.
Elected officials posting like Brooklyn Dad Defiant
Omg this is the most on point post.
Co-sign this one.
Essatamente! š¤
Finally found someone who agrees with me! Heās my congressional rep and prior to that on my city council. I canāt stand him.
Also the portion sizes are half of what she gets at Olive Garden
This is where weāre at now Democrats? This is the dumb shit politicians and preachers say to placate their followers.
My sincere condolences, we lost our dear dog last year. Still miss him terribly. The poem āSeparationā by WS Merwin sums it up beautifully: āYour absence has gone through me like thread through a needle. Everything I do is stitched in its color.ā
Youāre right, Iām not sure how accurate these lists are.
Iām not so sure about Kroger, how do I fact check that?
Well at least Hakeem Jeffries is posting scripture. Thatāll show em.
And while all this crap is going down, Connelly hasnāt said a public word. What a waste of AOCās political skill set.
Wow, I feel totally seen. Any appointment throws me off, but the worst are middle of the day. Morning is shot, afternoon written off.
Counting my blessings that I have a great biweekly farmers market five minutes from home. Also several ethnic grocery stores, Trader Joeās AND a Penzeyās Spices.
Same thing with Best Friends.
So sorry for you, I also lost my heart dog last year. āTheir absence is a presenceā.
Enjoy! I canāt watch until tomorrow.
Did you download Watch Duty to keep up with the California fires? This is how the remarkable app does it. www.wired.com/story/watch-...
Loved The Bureau, watched it twice.
Migrant worker detentions. Itās starting. calmatters.org/economy/2025...
Biden should just release it. After all, he has total immunity.
Misinformation
Yes!
Call LA County or Ventura County Animal Services, theyāll give you info. Wishing you the best of luck that you and your household are not in harmās way.

Thatās what Iāve been doing - block immediately and itās kept my feeds pretty sane.
Iāve been wondering if ceding all platforms and unsubscribing from all mainstream media is really the answer. Are we just going to huddle in our echo chambers and surrender spaces that are just as much āoursā as theirs.
My top reads of 2024: North Woods - Daniel Mason James - Percival Everett The Hunter - Tana French The Savage Detectives - Roberto BolaƱo We the Animals - Justin Torres Days Without End - Sebastian Barry When Iām Gone Look For Me In the East - Quan Barry #booksky
California has the lowest adult literacy rate
Looks like some high level begging. Hope it worked, itās Christmas!
Thank you, George; Iām trying not to totally disengage.
Iāve only read Death Comes for the Archbishop and My Antonia - donāt know why I havenāt read the others. TBR 2025.
āThree films a day, three books a week and records of great music would be enough to make me happy to the day I die.ā - FranƧois Truffaut
Thanks for the reminder. I try to find someone random every day and post something positive in their comments.
I just started it, hope I love it just as much.
Iām one of the idiots who donated to his campaign. What a waste.
Rho Khanna has taken a strange turn lately.
I just started it this morning.
Whatās going on here? I keep getting Follows and requests for money from accounts that purport to be in Gaza.
After 35 years as an LA Times subscriber, I cancelled. And now that Los Angeles has no major daily newspaper, Iām left relying on the local NPR station and micro bloggers.
I really admire you LA transit riders - I donāt feel safe on it anymore. Maybe Iāll give it another try sometime.
In California, weāre producing so much excess solar that weāre paying Arizona to take it, lowering utility bills for their residents while ours remain the highest in the country.
Cancelled after 30 years. Itās tough but now I just follow small local press online.
Hope to be back soon, Mexico City.
Thanks, I didnāt know itās now available to stream, I havenāt checked in a few years. And I also have Hoopla. Looking forward to a rewatch, itās one of my favorite movies.
I donāt eat Cheez-its but I would get in the car and run to the store to buy some for that face.
I keep hoping it will stream somewhere
Elie!! Please stay here, miss your posts since leaving X.
I remember many years ago seeing a National Geographic article calling the Darien Gap the most impassable region in the Americas. Goes to show what human desperation will do.
You can order books online from Bookshop.org; they support indie bookstores and you can designate what participating store you want to get credit for your purchase.
I work with a small rescue that only takes in the hard to adopt shelter dogs - sick, injured and senior pups. We get them the care they need, medical and surgical, and then find them new families. So thanks again for choosing a rescue doggo!
I havenāt been there in ages, time for a revisit.
Frenchy is very cute, thanks to you and his rescue for jail breaking him.
