Taking a long walk from the 50s up to 106th & back down today on various streets & aves, on both side of & in CP (after gigantic holiday lunch) the frequently seen graffiti was “kill more CEOs” so yeah we’re not doing well our society atm

Lunch at The Relais de Venise extremely good tho — holiday tradition

no stance pisses me off as much as being anti-vaxx we have nearly eradicated horrible diseases because extremely smart people invented these miracle vaccines, and a bunch of room temp IQ losers want to throw it all away for no reason other than their own malignant stupidity

Don't ask police, Should I get a lawyer? Because they are your adversary if they are trying to get evidence against you of a crime and you may not even know it. Be instinctively distrustful. Be respectful, cooperate if it's purely a witness role…

But once they start to accuse you or you feel accused, certainly if you've been read your Miranda warnings, there's no percentage in talking to them. They are professional liars. They're very good at it.

Musk doesn’t actually understand government so 🤷‍♀️

Tomorrow, our clinic is going on a very important mission. We forecast that this will be an extremely busy clinic, and we are also forecasting - with certainty, that after tomorrow we will have no dog and no cat vaccines left in stock at the Free clinic or the sanctuary clinic.
