Since former Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez and the former Los Angeles County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera have resigned, it’s time for Los Angeles Council members Kevin de León and Gil Cedillo to resign as well.

I joked earlier this year that I could probably throw together a great NFT game pitch deck and get a few million dollars for it. Looks like Will Wright did just that! Looking forward to seeing what comes out of this. youtube.com/watch?v=V17Azj…

Imagine if this level of detail was available in the Netflix interface to browse directly. The last time I was subscribed, there wasn't even a way to browse the library alphabetically. Maybe they've improved since then.

Someone in my neighborhood in LA has been painting colored hearts on sidewalks for the last few months. When I think about Twitter as a "town square," (which it's not, of course -- it's the back ad pages of an alt weekly) I think that's probably what I want my contribution to be.

I wrote an article. Hopefully the first of many in a series. God knows when I'll finish it. gamingyeeter.com/2022/11/04/a-p…

Amazing how much corporate injustice is justified with, "Well, other people are doing X, so why shouldn't we?" And very often, it's just a misplaced assumption -- the other people aren't even doing X!

If you're in LA and voting tomorrow (like me), please read through this before you go out there. You can still make your own decisions! But learn about your decisions first. laforward.org/la-progressive…

Went to vote. Happy to support reproductive rights in California (duh), putting people who care about the community in charge (rather than billionaires), and leaders and laws that support people rather than corporations or money. Fingers crossed I wasn't alone out there.

More of this please. The way to kill misinformation is to identify the people spreading nonsense. Everyone in this thread (including Joe Rogan, ahem) didn't know what they were talking about, but it didn't stop them from talking. Maybe next time they will?

Let's be clear. Eli Lilly should apologize for increasing the price of insulin by over 1,200% since 1996 to $275 while it costs less than $10 to manufacture. The inventors of insulin sold their patents in 1923 for $1 to save lives, not to make Eli Lilly's CEO obscenely rich.

Twitter's imminent shutdown is bumming me out, mainly because this is the platform I've built most of my audience on. Legit years and years of work, that inevitably got me hired, and has gotten me some of my biggest opportunities in life. All gone. Because of one rich white man.

That's it for me on Twitter, then. I'll leave this up because it's mine. But I can't be a part of something that will give voice to hatred like that.
