God to all the people praying for him to smite Trump: “I’m trying my best okay?! You all look like ants from up here. Do you know how many old fat golfers in MAGA hats there are in Florida?”

My day job is payroll contributions processing. I am, unfortunately, a spreadsheet person. AI isn’t useful to me at all. I can’t use it to automate any of my workflow because we can’t give it access to our databases that contain sensitive P.I.I. info.

Today in @thenation.com: a harrowing piece written from inside the Dilley ICE detention center by Maryam Tahmasebi, a green card holder who's been locked up along with her husband and son for months despite none of them committing any crime. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

One Woman’s Message From the Hell of ICE Detention
My husband, son, and I have been locked up for months—despite being permanent residents with no criminal record. It is an unendurable, unending nightmare.

LA’s best new restaurant is hiding inside a little house in Silver Lake, and when I find it I’m going to kill it with my hook hand

I really hope they’re found liable and forced to pay damages, the threat of liability payouts for every heat death, every out of control fire, every unusually strong hurricane is maybe the only thing that will ever cripple these companies or force them to change.

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"
The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

If the richest person on Earth is using his influence to condemn millions of the world’s most vulnerable children to death by famine & disease, and to foment pogroms and racist counterrevolutions at home and abroad, maybe he shouldn’t get to stay the richest man on earth.

I like what Rae Huang stands for, but at this point there’s no way to really justify voting for her. At best, a split vote ensures another term of Bass. At worst we get the only reality star more despised in his time than Trump, whose signature campaign promise seems to be torturing the homeless
