See? This shit is why I'm not going to let up on Newsom or other transphobic Democrats: they might otherwise go the Labour route and plunge the country into full on transphobia as policy.
Veteran of too many online wars. Currently dealing with insomnia, and apnea, and the stress from everything. I love LA. Maybe one day this profile will be less insane. Until then, if communist hookers seize the means of production, I'd be fine.

It was inevitable I guess, he loved posting AI images of himself as a king, now it’s a go to lie. Would not be surprised if he claims any evidence of him with Epstein is “AI”.
man all he had to say about the bags out the window was that workmen are renovating the residence, now I'm convinced it was body parts
Trump's proof of life video raises more questions about his health than it answers.
JD just laughing and smiling in the background like he didn’t help enable it the week before.
Sheesh, he’d have been better dead.
Well the fucker is still alive. Thats a disappointment, although I love that Katy Tur spoke over him and then cut away.
Now to see it actually happens or they push back the time again.
The fact that I am inexplicably late to the press conference explicitly intended to prove I'm alive and well is raising questions already answered by this press conference
Got busy with something, did Trump appear on video for that Space Command announcement yet?
I doubt shit will be done or that it’ll be addressed but I at least said something about how it’s gross to see.
For those just tuning in because of the Koch mention, it has been like this from day one.
The common denominator in every place where birth rates are dropping is women’s increased access to education.
How can a figure as unpopular as Trump be threatening an authoritarian takeover? It’s because “everybody with the ability to stop Trump” is “sleepwalking.” From @ddayen.bsky.social:
This turned me into TWO The Jokers
To run a voting station,I had to swear an oath to uphold the Constitution. May everyone who has sworn that oath continue to honor their oath.
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be
It really does feel like my brain is ready to explode. not sure if it's the heat or boredom or a feeling of emptiness with everything, all I know it's really annoying. Not even reading, watching movies or playing video games is helping.
Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social was curious; so he asked Ben Smith — co-founder of Semafor, and former media columnist at the New York Times — if Smith thought democracy is under threat in the U.S. Good question.
Ed Reviews Newsreel Of American Journalists In Vietnam For Last Interview Of President Ngo Dinh Diem www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXmj...
see this uploaded on Labor Day, and on the Ed Sullivan Show, and two, yes the Frank Conniff mentioned is the father of Frank "TV's Frank" Conniff, so, small world huh? (I could tag him but it feels rude to.) /2
Okay I got bored sitting around and went back online, and saw this video pop up from The Ed Sullivan Show, featuring newsreel footage of journalists Bob Considine, Frank Conniff and Bill Hearst in their last interview with South Vietnam's Diem. Couple of things, one it feels very weird to see this/1
Now to take off for the day barring some big developments, spending some time by a grill and pool that's not mine but invited to just sounds good.
This ‘blue states closed schools too long’ narrative is becoming increasingly entrenched in the Polite Center but it’s arguable at best. Republican states had far more deaths during COVID and their students have roughly comparable learning loss.
"it stinks"

Well, he's not dead, that's a disappointment. But he does look, like my grandfather when was 90. And his hair appears to be gone.
Inter Miami is disgusting. Luis Suarez is disgusting. Spitting on a Sounders coach. #LeaguesCup #MLS
Similar vibes. (Although I wonder what staffer typed and posted the first.)
You do not have to live in Oklahoma to sign to remove this horrible man. We're almost to 34K signatures🖤🤍 chng.it/fMqWL4GCx8
Because for one JD will still be in office as the puppet he is, and dips like Ryan Walters and Gabe Woolley in Oklahoma will still be pushing for PragerU and other propaganda in schools. But, I really would like just, I feel like I've been "on" ever since he went down that tacky elevator./2
On the off-chance that Trump really is dead (the weird things going on like staying far away from cameras and posting week-old photos of himself with Jon Gruden), I may just take that week out of LA I'd meant to go on last year but circumstances prevented. Then, back to work, in more than one way./1
Side note has he ever replied directly to someone like this? I can't remember off the top of my head. Definitely out of character
Important context here is Mamdani is muslim and Bill Maher hates muslims.
the fact that America had a police state partially run by a guy called "General Van Deman" and it occupies like zero part of american public consciousness is fascinating
Rudy Giuliani absolutely did not try to shortchange a sex worker and then was pursued by her colleagues, don’t you dare suggest such a thing
Extremely weird statement.
Rudy Giuliani suffered severe injuries in a car accident last night, according to his spokesperson
Quite an intriguing turn. "Humans are being hired to make AI slop look less sloppy In the age of automation, human workers are now being brought in to fix what artificial intelligence gets wrong." www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne...
Out of the first five questions, four are about gender identity. There isn't even a pretense that they're looking for qualified educators. They're interviewing candidates for the bathroom police.
Also took a look on Xcancel, Gruden's tweets in the last 24 hours have not mentioned a single thing about golfing again there, which is something that would more likely be posted about. (Screenshots taken around 11:51 PDT)
For me, Trump is dead until proven otherwise
If in upcoming elections there are candidates running on a platform of restoring American democracy I am interested, but I will want to hear the specifics of what that means and doesn't mean.
Yeah I'm back on "He's Definitely Dead And They're Covering It Up."
But there is something so off about how he is walking, the more stooped gait and the weird angle his hand is at. Again I do not know how this was taken, so I’m not drawing any conclusions just yet./2
One last thing, I try not to be a conspiracy theorist, for one not wanting to fall into paranoia. And yet this feels so off. He loves cameras but won’t go near them today, but the posture. I do not know if this is from a photo or video, so it’s harder to read. I can make out some of his makeup./1
Heat insomnia again tonight. I cannot wait for summer to end. Also got to a point where I just wanted to yell at social media sites and i am not sure why. Also, I’m not really sure I’ve ever been kissed on the lips for, pretty much all my life. Started thinking about that tonight.

“Celebration” by Kool and the Gang, even have the meme I’ll use too.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
Damn people, don’t give up hope! golfexpertblog.com/how-many-peo...

Even the most “unsympathizable” homeless person deserves housing, resources, programs and respect. Universal rights and programs are universal for a reason. I don’t care about what horror stories people have about any homeless person. ALL homeless people deserve to be treated with humanity.
Santa Clara County is putting a ballot initiative on the November ballot to increase the sales tax by a fraction of a cent for several years to keep at least the trauma unit open at several county hospitals They were sued to stop it, won, but have to remove Trump's name as a reason for the tax 🙃
More posters of a lot./3
Speaking of Hollywood Book And Poster Co., from the earlier post, they have recently acquired a bunch of framed posters from the collection of Alan Ladd, Jr. This is a small selection, so if you want to check it out, go this weekend, to support the store and they are already starting to sell./2
Out at Magnolia Park Food Truck Night with @markscroggs.bsky.social and Mom and we happened to run into our state assembly member @asmnickschultz.bsky.social and after Mark gave a brief tour of Hollywood Book and Poster, we decided to get a photo for the socials. #Burbank
Wrote about Comer/Mace attempting to doxx and intimidate Wikipedia editors in an effort to force their own viewpoint onto Wikipedia.
This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...
I'm a little surprised RFK Jr hasn't already tried to blame it for causing autism.
Why are so-called progressives up in arms about RFK. Jr., who I do not support, removing the head of the CDC yet said nothing when shitlib Phil Griffin removed me from the regular rotation on M$DNC? by Glenn Greenwald
Apparently he actually was one of the people calling out the Free Press for their whole thing about "those starving kids in Gaza had pre-existing conditions so there's no famine". Not going to look it up further since that's enough info for me regarding the parties involved.
It didn't take long for Fox News to take the whole "Dems hate Christians for praying" faux outrage to its logical conclusion -- it all goes back to Obama "demeaning people in small towns and rural areas who cling to their religion."
What the end of 'de minimis' means for online shoppers
Went to the Sears in Burbank since it's closing this weekend, got a robe and shorts, but on the way out I noticed all these Craftsman tool sets marked down, like these 320-piece sets for 107 dollars. I didn't get one though, I simply don't have enough room for it, but I am still a bit regretful.
Someone puts chains on the fence, and DHS was locked up at a federal building. It is time for Ice to get out of Los Angeles.
This post from an Oregon Republican FB group is indicative of how far down the authoritarian rabbit hole some rank and file republicans have gone. They are outraged that some middle aged white normie Dems are allowed to make posters in the public library. McCarthyism on steroids.
Post a random picture, or else everything will go bad in September.
Someone please staple this essay, or at least these closing paragraphs, to @schumer.senate.gov's suit jacket.
Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) was caught on a hot mic admitting he believes Donald Trump is implicated in the Jeffrey Epstein files, telling a GOP meeting that Trump "was the one...telling the FBI about it."
I get the feeling reading that, that Baby Oil there salivates every time he sees the bruises on Trump’s hands.
What the fuck is wrong with LGBTQ Nation. Seriously. RFK Jr did not say this. If he does you'll see it from me.
People are homeless and starving.

NEW: In a few days is the National Conservatism conference, which will bring Trump officials and GOP lawmakers together with far-right extremists. Participants include OMB Dir. Russell Vought, NIH Dir. Jay Bhattacharya, DNI Tulsi Gabbard, Josh Hawley, Steve Bannon, Jack Posobiec, & more.
CDC scientists receive a heroes welcome after walking out today.
I think the CDC resignations are being driven much more by something big coming, like a sham autism report, than COVID recommendations.
Refusing to act, then falsely accusing those who want to see something tangible done to protect kids of attacking prayer on top of it, is doubly shameless.
that whatever I come up with just fails or sucks and I'm told I'm an idiot/fed op. Maybe I just can never be human, I don't know./3
calling me either stupid or a bad faith troll. it's like, I'm tired of just sitting around, and that forum has daily posts about the need for a John Brown and "taking the gloves off" and such. It's frustrating, I seem to be cursed, that whenever I try to match people in that way, /2
This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...
BETRAYED YET AGAIN BY MAGA elected officials that can’t muster the courage to honor with a plaque the J6 officers who fulfilled their oath and duty while they ran in fear for their lives and from the mob she was part of. FU all cowers.
Trump's "attacks on Chicago and Illinois are not about safety and security, we know that. They're about trying to terrorize the resistance," U.S. Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) said. www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...
Out of curiosity, where will the funeral exactly be held? I have a few ideas for people to disrupt it, such as kazoos and a mock ceremony nearby where "we condemn her spirit to eternal hellfire" over loudspeakers, etc.
She literally went through the window that was broken and shot by an officer. Because the regime needs a Horst Wessel, we get this.
Okay, 2023's Burning Man had the rains and floods that kept cars trapped in the desert, 2024 had dust storms and now there were such high winds that the event's Orgy Dome collapsed and won't be rebuilt. At some point, it feels a little bit like the weather is just messing with them on purpose.
I'm no medical expert, but I think a guy with a dead worm in his brain and a history of doing stuff like picking up roadkill to put on the roof of his car saying he sees kids with "mitochondrial diseases" just by watching them for a second at the airport shouldn't not be in charge of public health.
imagine if 'democratic dark money' groups just publicly financially supported progressive publications like the handbasket and mmfa instead of trying to do it in secret deals to seem "grass roots" or some nonsense
There aren't many stories that prompt gasps at our editors' daily budget meeting. But this was one.
They did this in the Young Justice animated series.
Me: this is great, glad to see authors ripped off by AI getting their due. Me after using the search tool: I am one of these ripped off authors. Academics, it only takes a minute. Seven of my papers are in this and I had no idea.
You’re not dropping a single, asshole. If you’re actually knew anything, it would be criminal not to reveal it now. But of course, this is a bullshit publicity stunt.
I had not seen the full clip, Miller also was going with "Chicago shut down their police department" and such, which if you can't tell is a steaming load. The GOP and regime have their fake world and gladly get angry over ti to justify their abuses of power.
