Today I spoke with an Angeleno who depends on the bus to get to work every day. I saw firsthand what’s not working about our bus system. Unreliable public transit is making LA less livable for all of us.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
I'm focused on building a system that people can count on.

Block this fucker and also maybe report for incitement of violence. Genuinely obscene to be using Smokey the Bear to say actually commit arson lol who cares
It is just very very predictable whenever white people are suddenly excited that they have a non-white group that they are allowed to be bigoted towards
Normal people: the courts are very serious interpreters of the law
The courts: go ahead, impersonate the feds
"Three fingers" meme from Inglorious Bastards, where "an undercover agent posing as a Nazi holds up his middle finger, ring finger, and index finger to express the number 3. The way an actual German would express 3 would be to hold up the thumb, index and middle finger. In the movie this tips off the other Nazis that the man they are speaking to is a British spy as the way he expressed three is how a British or American person would do it."
In honor of Earth Day: a thread of environmental wins
The actual merits of his argument aside: no way in hell Hank Green - a smart and by all accounts nice person who has not become a bigot or fascist - even makes the top 500 YouTuber Fall Offs list.
Came here to point out how grossly homophobic this was - glad to see you beat me to it.
Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …
most gerrymanders are republican legislators saying fuck the voters
these ones are the voters saying fuck republican legislators
Ohhh I see. The thinking is it would be an accidental dummymander given the national environment? Thanks!
Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is Jeffries threatening? Is the idea they wouldn’t campaign against vulnerable GOP members in Florida if DeSantis keeps the status quo?
March of Dimes can’t bomb Iran fyi
While I assume the prosecution is bullshit, I’ve seen a lot of people say a version of this, and it feels silly. The US government does a whole bunch of things a private nonprofit can’t do.
LEAD CHANGE: Fairfax County reports more votes, and puts the "yes" ahead.
The 'yes' now leads 50.3% with 49.7%, a lead of 15K.
More importantly: Half of Fairfax County, where the 'yes' is leading by 80K votes at the moment, remains to be counted.
Darn near killed 'em.
The theory of the case -- that the SPLC defrauded donors by promising to "dismantle" hate groups while secretly paying informants inside said hate groups, a tactic that it has carried out for nearly half a century -- is completely absurd.
That right there is somebody who doesn't think of his step goal until 5pm. Yeah, it's REALLY hard to get it all in before bed then!
Is Steyer more TIMBY than Becerra? Also - does CNL have a preferred candidate?
This absolutely IS a lesser of two evils dilemma? I fucking hate Graham Platner - he is also, quite obviously at this point - not as bad as Susan Collins. Keeping Collins in office only serves to empower Trump across the board, whereas even if Platner probably only empowers Trump sometimes.
If there's two Nazis and one has some non-Nazi tendencies sometimes, wouldn't it be better to have that one elected than the one that is all in on being a Nazi 24/7?
"Well we disagree very much on whether that makes the president look bad or not! Snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat is less dangerous than injecting bleach into your veins, so..."
I appreciate that folks like King (and even Bernie, Manchin, Sinema) caucus with Dems while maintaining their Independent status. I would love if there were a way to force someone like Platner into that position 😆
I hate Platner but I think that if it's him or Collins you gotta vote for him. At the very least he would not be voting for Thune for majority leader and that's everything.
[This could change in the future, but Collins DEFINITELY will vote for Thune, so, Platner is... better than that.]
Ooooh okay, there are LOTS of crevices around this house and two small children who put toys places... now I could see this coming in handy bigly. Thanks!
This has never even occurred to me to wonder if it was a thing people could just buy. What would your ordinary everyday Joe Schmoe need this for?
This is makes me happy
Dear NBA,
I KNOW it is all about the money and you don’t care about our convenience, but this having to use 3 different streaming services to watch playoff games each night is, (and I say this with all the love I can for the game,) complete horseshit.
it's really heart breaking and totally obvious to every American Jew that there is a whole sale effort to push Jews out of America's political and cultural life in ways big and small and its largely been successful
If making predictions off of early vote is as useful as slaughtering a chicken and reading the entrails then election day turnout numbers are as useful as looking at the bottom of your teacup.
