"In February 1933, Germany’s wealthiest industrialists, financiers, and CEOs were very explicitly promised by Hitler and Göring that these would be the last elections held for the next 10-100 years. They had no qualms getting out their checkbooks and signing over German democracy."

Just made crème brûlée for the very first time. It was super easy. This is dangerously knowledge for me to have!

Mark Cuban speaks the truth:

No matter where you fall on the TikTok ban, the President undoing by “executive order” a law passed by Congress and upheld unanimously by the Supreme Court is an unconstitutional abuse of power.

In Burbank this morning, I met a couple who told me they still didn’t know if their house was still standing. We looked it up online and got the good news together. It was still there. If you don’t know the status of your home, you can find it here: recovery.lacounty.gov

Jan 20, 1961. A blizzard the day before. Temperatures well below freezing. Without a coat or hat, JFK gave a speech we still quote today. Robert Frost, 86, recited a poem. Steinbeck and Hemingway and Rothko were among the VIPs. A million people gathered in the cold to hear it. This is the precedent.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

This is FANTASTIC news!

I second this motion.

I think I've said the last thing I'm going to say about Jack Smith's report. (and I haven't said much) There's nothing useful that's going to come from analyzing this thing to death. What's done...is done. The U.S. got fucked. I'm sick of the whole Goddamn thing.

Do me a favor—share this quick explainer by @reeciecolbert.bsky.social with folks ‘confused’ about the LAFD budget cut and its impact on the fires. Spoiler: the “budget cut” was covered by an overrun. Translation? The department didn’t run out of money—they spent far more than originally approved.

It’s eerie to look across the Santa Monica Bay and see a huge patch of darkness where lights once were less than a week ago.

Gavin Newsom launched a website to combat the wildfire disinformation spreading about Los Angeles, because people can’t be bothered to do a simple Google search before sharing nonsense. And because people suck! Get the facts: californiafirefacts.com

Just sayin'. 😁

forgot about this classic

He should have never been allowed to run for office, according to Section 3 of our 14th Amendment. He, an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon, does not deserve the honor and prestige of the presidency. He deserves scorn and derision. He deserves PRISON time.

My favorite chef is José Andrés, not only because of his delicious food, but because he represents the best of us. His World Food Kitchen is already operating in multiple locations around the #eatoncanyonfire zone. Thank you, Chef Andrés!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: ‘Idiocracy’ is a prophetic documentary.

This was a surreal sight. These wildfires are heartbreaking. I don’t recall there ever being so many (or any) in December and January. I hope everyone stays safe!

Bring them to Spoutible, too!

Sunset season has arrived! 🌅 (Southern Sierra Mountains) #nofilter

Just planted my very first fruit tree! Had no idea how much work goes into it. Can’t wait until this fall to eat my first #feijoa (fingers crossed)! #novicegardener

This message deserves repeating!

Not gonna lie … it’s pretty cool to hit the $500 club! I joined iBotta when I was unemployed and every penny had to work hard. Even though I have a well-paying job now, I still use the app to save money. $500 may seem like chump change to some, but it means a lot to me!

Wasn’t paying attention and made a wrong turn for a short cut in my neighborhood. Well, I finally figured out where the cyber truck asshole lives: the ONLY house with multiple Trump/Vance election signs and 2 enormous flags and banners *still* posted on their property. 🙄

It’s the truth!

This is HUGE! The Safe Choice Network of physicians provide safe, effective and affordable medication abortion services NO MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE US! Visit: www.asafechoicenetwork.com Please share: #ASafeChoice 🦋

They deserve what they campaigned and voted for.

Don’t ever let them convince you that your vote doesn’t matter!
