There are so many people, so many, that love film and want to dedicate their whole lives to making films, in front of the camera, behind it, in editing suites and casting rooms and makeup trailers. And that these locusts can come in and just devour the industry, take it from us all, is devastating.

Dear god, the American president is wishing a foreign power would destroy her entire city and this is the best statement that pathetic woman can muster? LA, please please get rid of Karen Bass 🙏
"The President of the United States suggested that a foreign government attack Los Angeles, " Bass said. "His statements against our city are dangerous and could potentially compromise our safety. The role of a president is to protect the country, not to actively threaten it and encourage attacks on American lives. In the face of
irresponsible threats, as Angelenos, we know how to stand together and protect our city."

City Council is trying to enshrine free parking at Mission Bay and other beach areas. This is a mistake, not only does it cut off an important source of much needed funds for the park which is struggling just to keep bathrooms open, the free parking is misused making it unavailable to park goers.

American evangelicalism isn’t so much a religion as a lifestyle brand for right-wing authoritarianism. But insofar as it still pretends to be taking guidance from the scriptures it projects its rancid politics into, Jesus is sort of inconvenient. Doesn’t sound much like Trump or Andrew Tate.

A batch of three monitors are returning to Oregon but more are not scheduled for return off NC and Alaska. Plus additional instruments are still being phased out by an administration that doesn’t understand their purpose and is intimidated by science.
Though the arrays are being put back in the waters off Oregon and Washington this weekend, four moorings off North Carolina and three robotic gliders in both Alaska and the Irminger Sea are not scheduled to be returned to the sea this year.In addition, the Global Ocean Biogeochemistry Array, a $53 million network of 500 floats that collects data on the chemistry and biology of oceans around the globe, is being phased out this month.

Yesterday, asked about its chatbot's many debunkings of Trump, the White House said it "will continue to be updated to provide more features, resources, and the most accurate information from the federal government."
Today...lots of accurate answers have been simply forbidden, with the chatbot framing information like who won the 2020 election as forbidden "political commentary." x.com/ddale8/status/...

if you support abolishing or drastically reforming the filibuster you should support as many D-caucusing candidates to win as possible, full stop. The more Ds win, the more Ds can abstain or vote against it without actually stopping it. Every + D sen is +x% chance of finally ending the filibuster.

A digital illustration of a version of the big board from Wheel of Fortune. An array of green rectangles (each bearing an icon of a hand with crossed fingers inside a circle with rays), and white rectangles that indicate the letters in the secret phrase contestants are trying to guess. The board is not yet solved and reads like this:

M_YB_ I_
_ILL H_PP_N
__D_Y

Standing next to the board in a shiny pink and maroon evening gown and ready to turn around newly-guessed letters is a woman whose head is a human hand with crossed fingers. 

Below the board in the space where viewers at home are informed what type of  phrase is in play it simply reads ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.
