Yall we need to make sure Kamala Harris wins in November so we don’t look like idiots at the next Olympic Games. #LA2028 #HarrisWalz24

They fired all the black and gay people, cut cancer research, cut healthcare for millions, cut food for starving children, killed hundreds of schoolgirls, separated families, put kids in camps, and shot people in the street. We better get fucking even

When everyone was on their back foot in '25, Zohran changed the energy and found a formula for politics that was joyful, disciplined, and unafraid. Completely changed the game.

Original WAD squad remembers Abdul calling in almost weekly during Covid to reassure us and keep us up to date on public health guidance. Cannot WAIT to call him senator.

Katy Tur: "It’s a revolt against Donald Trump. Not just his policies, but himself. The cruelty, the chaos, the casual indifference to the needs of everyday people... this may be the end of the Trump era; it may be the end. This might be over tonight."

here's the entirety of the seeming mental breakdown Haley Stevens just had on CNN. One of the most bizarre and incoherent political interviews I can recall. Note how she's completely unable to explain why she changed her mind from supporting Abdul El-Sayed last night to endorsing Mike Rogers today.

Genuinely would change the city for the better overnight. This is awesome
Nithya Raman wants to restore late-night train service on LA Metro. "The 'last train home' shouldn't leave before last call." #LosAngeles #LAMetro #Transit

This. Omg. The era we live in.
Abdul El-Sayed: “We are being actively bullied by the dumbest people in the room. Donald Trump is an idiot. He has one genius which is getting attention. Because his dad never gave him enough, because he was a nepo baby, he craved attention and used the bullying tactics to get it. But the man is an idiot. Just a fool”

This is perhaps the best political ad I’ve seen

There are 30,000 broken streetlights in LA. It's time we turn the lights back on. It's time for a city that works.

Padilla is an anti-housing politician who bragged to me about getting an affordable housing project reduced from 6 stories to 3 stories. She also said that broken street lights allow her constituents to better see the stars.
And worth saying: no one has been more vindictive and petty ever since Nithya had the audacity to challenge Bass for mayor, and by extension, all the council members who decided to eat shit and pretend Bass is doing a bang up job.
Which explains why this "endorsement" is so warmed over. Oh the mayor is reachable by phone? Awesome. The city is falling apart.
Take it from Councilwoman Imelda Padilla, Los Angeles needs a mayor who is willing to work with every City Councilmember to deliver lasting results for Angelenos.
I’m committed to working together with our city leaders and constituents to keep moving Los Angeles forward and ensure our city is ready for the 2028 Olympics!
Make your plan to vote now and get your ballot in on or before Election Day on November 3rd!

#Wildwood functions as a direct response to the uncertainties in both the industry and the world at large. Not only is it defiantly hand-crafted, but it’s about being brave in a world that has lost its magic.

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby tells the New York Times that "wealth inequality has become a danger to our society" and must be addressed.
"We should have a national wealth tax... we should have inheritance taxes that get close to 100 percent at some level. I would pay them."

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
