I’ll continue to think AI is dumb so long as voice to text can’t understand the word “gubernatorial.”

Fun fact I’m not sure most people on Al Gore’s Internet are aware of: California has had a millionaires tax since 2012. It’s an annual tax and it’s been used to expand healthcare and education services.

USC and ABC7 criticized for exclusion of all candidates of color in upcoming gubernatorial debate Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Democrat running for governor, blasted USC and ABC for hosting a debate that excludes all candidates of color.

Let me get this straight @usc.edu and @abc7.bsky.social - you’re letting a no name mayor who just entered the race on the debate stage, but not the congressman of 24 years, former California AG, and former Director of HHS? What the absolute fuck is wrong with you?

I’ve never felt more privileged to be from Southern California.

Robert Redford, Rob Reiner, and now Catherine O’Hara. The people who brought love, humor, happiness, and reflection to this world have all been taken from us while that shit stain of a soulless carcass gets to live. The universe is piercingly cruel and unfair.

The rehabilitation of George W. Bush‘s reputation by young people who’ve turned him into some goofy grandpa has always unsettled me.

The fact that so many of them are now saying “well the Venezuelans are celebrating this” just confirms that leaving the children behind was the point.

When a postmark no longer tracks mailing | Brookings Changes to U.S. Postal Service operations could lead to delayed postmarking, impacting elections, tax filings, and more.

So, who’s gonna bring a 14th amendment challenge to this new USPS postmark rule? My old South Shore Chicago post office has notorious staffing problems, which will clearly impact the EQUAL PROTECTION of south side-based citizens under this new rule.

Parking spots turned into ADU’s: why is this allowed? YouTube video by L.A. in a Minute

SB 79 seems to be working as intended: pushing out long-term working class residents so greedy landlords and developers can make a buck.

It’s absolutely disgusting what’s happening in LA’s Koreatown neighborhood.

But, build more, amirite @scottwiener.bsky.social?

Someone should tell Jimmy Bowman over here that it’s “Alex,” not “Jose,” and in the future… “Senator” will do just fine.

Every single member of Congress, Democrat and Republican alike, who has not unequivocally condemned the assault on Senator Alex Padilla today is a coward.

As always, Fuck Bernie. 🤓

You doing OK there, Chief?

No thanks. I like dudes who deliver.

Well, maybe not to the very online species, sure.

I’ll take that as a no.

Oh, you read it?

Whatever you say, thumb thug. 🥸

I’ve been listening to dudes blame everyone but themselves for their failure for almost 50 years now, so I guess what’s one more… 🤓😂

What’s with you internet weirdos and your macho war rhetoric? 🥸

Anyway, good for her. Hopefully, it moves the dial somewhat, but I have my doubts because they’re not actually holding town halls where they listen to voters. They’re just talking at the people who like them already.

“Amendment King” Bernie literally missed the all-night vote-a-rama on the budget bill because he was on his way to Ohio or some shit to do a pep rally.

Having followed his career for 40 years, I’m not impressed by his lack of tangible efficacy.

Episode two of “The Internet is filled with deeply unserious people.”

Dude is literally doing his job as chair of oversight, but because he’s not giving canned speeches that make people feel a way, he’s “not doing anything.” 🥸

Calm down, sport. This isn’t World of Warcraft.

She’s holding pep rallies to preach to the choir. He’s literally doing his oversight job.

If you want to feel something that leads to nothing, go to a pep rally. The rest of us have work to do.

House oversight committee demands answers on gutting of CDC public records office House Rep. Gerry Connolly is pushing CDC leadership to explain why the personnel who handle FOIA requests lost their jobs, noting that that the public has a right to access federal records.

In today’s episode of “The internet is filled with unserious people,” person critiques House Oversight Chair for *checks notes* …doing his job. 🥸

So, basically, she’s on the pep rally circuit while he’s doing his… oversight job.

FOIA’s actually a pretty big fucking deal when it comes to a functioning democracy.
