I agonized over whether to fly or take the train/bus to GDC this year. And that’s just a quick flight to San Fran!!

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

When do we get to see the actual proof of tens of millions of dead people getting checks. Not bullshit posted on social media, actual proof from people under oath in front of Congress. Can we set that up tomorrow? Why not? Where’s Comer? I’ll watch. bsky.app/profile/atru...

They are going to ignore court orders. If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect. It's a rubicon that cannot be uncrossed.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

“If a settlement is reached, some might characterize it as a payoff. “That’s called a bribe,” Richard Painter, President George W. Bush’s White House ethics lawyer, posted on X. If CBS settles, it will be the third media company to do so since the election.”

Lived in LA for 20 years. Been through fires, close to at least one, this is not my first. But it’s definitely the worst. Thankfully we seem ok for now, but keeping an eye on them and ready to go with our 6 cats if needed!

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

I love that part!! Some dumb in a good way. Yeah, the timing was so bizarre! People are shocked when I explain “it’s a comedy about fighting a joke pandemic that premiered right before a real one started.” Justice for MedPo indeed!

I wasn’t prepared for the cult-classic-ness of “They Came Together” for last night’s anniversary screening at Vidiots. So thrilled people love this film after 10 years!! Amazing watching it in a room full of super-fans. #theycametogether #vidiots #composer
