every single letter of this....

the dog house on fire with an i voted sticker saying “they can’t do this it’s illegal”

this is calming and nice.

next week we'll go see Blue Velvet, as the local theater is doing a David Lynch retrospective. Pretty excited about that too!

It's Friday and I'm choosing to focus on the positive: went to see Nosferatu with by best girl last night and it was great. She enjoyed it.

It's the first movie, maybe ever, that she's asked me to go see, so who am I to deny?

Witness said a bus driver told an ICE agent to "gargle [his] balls" when the latter requested to enter the bus.

God bless

1. I don't listen to that much music anymore.
2. Watching @trashtheory.bsky.social docs on New British Canon
3. I received a sweatshirt in the mail right before the holidays, and I wept when I opened it because I thought someone bought me a present. I pre-ordered it months prior and forgot.

Anyway, thanks to @trashtheory.bsky.social. Watch more of their stuff.

When I left the internet a few hours ago to take a nap and be violently ill, Hasan was talking about the fires in LA.

He's still talking about the fires in LA. JFC.

a comic panel showing Bobby Hill sitting on a desolate moonscape, with text that reads, "Under capitalism, food isn't produced to feed people, it's produced to make a profit. When it's not profitable to feed people, we let them starve. Even when our labor has conquered scarcity, capitalism must manufacture it in order to justify it's existence."

real talk, man it feels good to be a place where I can shit post without having "concerned family" reach out to make sure I'm ok.

The Getty trajectory:

• J. Paul Getty parlays his father's money into success in the oil business that makes him the richest man in America

• Getty founds the Getty Villa, a museum that recreates a Roman villa in Pacific Palisades

• The Getty Villa grounds catch on fire thanks to global warming

How LA's Getty Center built a fire-proof fortress for priceless art As fire rages on the hillside near the museum, facility officials say they are ready to put their prevention plan to the test

I know there are many many people getting devastated from the fires in LA. My heart goes out to them first and foremost.
But a couple people have asked me (cause I am from there) about the Getty museum (the main one, not the Villa in Malibu) and this is a good read on its fire safety abilities.

Oh thank you for this, I have been sobbing uncontrollably over this.

it's getting real fucking grim out there, folks, so make sure that you remember that we're all in this together.

READ IT ALL. READ IT.

30% of California fire fighters are incarcerated slave labor.

The Mayor of LA cut firefighting funding and climate response funding by billions.

3.2BIL increase to police budget so more arrest and slave labor could cover cuts

My ❤️ goes out to the prisoners, not the wealthy people of Palisades.
