As the City's Accountant, we're working to calculate City related costs to protests in response to the violent ICE raids & militarization of our City. One question we've been getting asked a lot is: "HOW MUCH HAVE LA TAXPAYERS PAID IN LAPD LIABILITIES RE: PROTEST EVENTS?" 🧵

in a functioning country, “new technology that drives people insane” would be subject to all sorts of hearings and studies. but since the money is on AI’s side, we get provisions in laws that prohibit any state regulation of it for a decade

Pizza lotto getting the Mike Hammer series is actually perfect (lol), but nothing can top KISS ME DEADLY.

Unfortunately that’s the entire problem

Someone was arrested in GA today for wearing a respirator. That’s the only “crime” - a respirator. Cops think we only wear masks to hide our identity, because that’s the only reason THEY wear masks. I’m sick of the lack of solidarity that led us here.

Those of the working class protesting about wealth redistribution (nevermind that taxes isn't that) have never worked for someone who took a helicopter to dinner in town, and it shows.

I know people whine when djs talk about politics, but I left the US 3 years ago and have been to 45 countries in that time. I always talk to locals and ask about their governments, their lives, etc., and having these convos has made me realize how sinister US propaganda is

I just found out about another wrinkle in the film festival/distribution continuum that applies to shorts, and I'm frankly upset.

I gotta say gang. I didn’t expect the 2000s to be SO back that a Republican President would be manufacturing reasons to send the US back into a hot war with an Arab nation in the Middle East based on extremely dicey propaganda about WMDs while being cheered on by NeoCons. Damn.

I get to spend the next 24 hours trying to trigger anaphylaxis in order to take a PTO day to go get labs and see if they confirm my allergic reaction. So fun. At least there will be cookies.

It’s crazy how many people suffer from black mold poisoning and don’t realize that it could be escalating or the cause of their major depression, anxiety, night sweats and episodes. Especially young renters bc landlords take advantage of them.

Growing up in the South (with quite a few film & TV restrictions), this movie was transformative. As close as I got to Ripley or Sarah Connor until adulthood. I also have a cannibalism short out, and you know FRIED GREEN TOMATOES was a big inspiration!

I feel like absolute garbage, so if this doesn't trigger these results, then I truly don't need Xolair. Ugh/yay

The richest 800 American families now control $7 trillion, which is more than 165 MILLION people put together. On top of that, over half the income available to the top 0.1% of wealth-holders goes untaxed. Is the current system "failing" or is it working exactly as designed?

Can't believe I'm watching a cooking at home is cheaper vs meal kit/pick up discussion unfold and haven't seen ANYONE say groceries are 3-4x more expensive than five years ago. Don't do the overlords work for them! The prices are awful!

I've finished THE DAY OF THE JACKAL & MOBLAND. Now what? (Don't say WWIII, good grief)

Has anyone considered that the No Kings protest went so well that the US had to refer to its international distraction playbook to keep us from continuing to organize? Which, yes, is even more horrifying.

I have just discovered a delightful slice of home renovation & comedy called CASTLE IMPOSSIBLE. A millennial couple takes on the family chateau in France while booking weddings on property.
