Abstract

LA is basically run by a "good old chuds" network. Incumbent officials who have run the city into the ground playing petty-tyrant machine politics are furious that Nithya might actually follow laws and professionalize operation of the city. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

remember that "BIDEN IS SENILE" was a stop the presses, every day story and they just let this shit go like its normal

I wrote a bike story aimed at drivers — on why I think more bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure can be a win-win. Gift link 🎁 for anyone still on the fence about Sunset Dunes www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

If we don't pass the Regional Transit Measure and let transit die in the most transit-rich part of the state, transit in all of California will be in trouble. No matter where you are, you can help save Bay Area transit via virtual phone banks coming up this week: luma.com/connectbayarea

Construction trucks leaving Bloor and Islington area after being successfully deterred from starting work on removing bike lanes in Toronto by a large protest.

Well, that's one hilariously creative way to decorate for the fall of our democracy on Halloween!

LAPD cops working for ICE contractors off duty — while the department fights to keep its moonlighting records hidden. That is the accusation now being leveled directly at LAPD leadership after a judge ordered the records turned over.

you know times are dark out there when the guy who wrote "Baby Beluga" is posting stuff like this.

Hey @npr.org your story this morning on the Mitch McConnell photo and press release was really really bad. It sounded like your reporter had actually spoken with McConnell! And that the obvious AI pic was real! I guess this time NPR is FAKE NEWS. I'm very disappointed.

the critical thing to know about Connie Chan is that she’s not just a NIMBY when it comes to housing. She also NIMBYs transit and bike lanes, opposing the ballot measure to save Caltrain and car-free JFK

I hope someone will take a look at this huge new anti-immigrant grant program. @jamellebouie.net @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social , anyone??? I get these announcements as part of my job; this one is shocking www.ojp.gov/funding/docs...

Can we PLEASE get religious leaders out of politics? PLEASE?

Whether it’s Barrack Obama wearing a tan suit or it’s Donald Trump attending oral arguments at the Supreme Court for the first time in history, recent presidents are shaking up established norms as America approaches its 250th birthday

Democratic Party tradition is to have a Unity Breakfast on the Friday after the primary, losers endorse winners, everyone gets thanked and pumped for the general. #msnow #primary

this is what they said it would be like under socialism

I want to see an Olympic skater choreograph “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits. #olympics #figureskating

This one just destroys me. Well done, whoever dreamed it up. @normanrockwellm.bsky.social

The video for ' The Power Of Prayer' features archival footage from his youth and clips of Springsteen and the E Street Band working on the song in the studio. The message of the video is about old friends he’s lost and the optimism of that era, reflected in the vintage footage of Jersey Shore.

Make it viral.

@msnowcomms.bsky.social The red dot and other moving images across your live feed screen is disturbing to watch. I’m a 100% MSNOW watcher but am switching to CNN due to these moving images that hurt my eyes. #yououghttaknow

#RoseParade The great @georgetakei.bsky.social on a Star Trek float!

#RoseParade Why are there ballerinas on the Mississippi float? I don’t get it.

As a high schooler in #Pasadena I spent many days between Christmas and NY gluing flowers and veg matter onto #RoseParade floats at the #RosePalace, a warehouse used for rock concerts the rest of the year.

Despite all the corporate ads the #RoseParade showcases public education: #CalPoly float, marching bands, etc.

Editorial cartoonist John Deering rings in the new year.

Neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post published stories about Trump writing 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day

Lucid, intelligent and genuinely accomplished adults DO NOT pull asinine stunts like this. Jabba the Chump turns presidential history into a childish personal vendetta less clever than a "kick me" sign. www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

I'm old enough to remember when the networks refused to carry an incredibly important speech at Independence Hall in Philadelphia by President Biden about creeping fascism in the U.S. because it was "too political". Sure, but they'll broadcast every minute of Trump's propaganda bullshit. 🙄

if elected leaders want to subsidize more roads to enable more driving, and do not want to allow more housing in order to avoid more residents, then it seems they perceive their real constituents to be cars rather than people

Dear male White House reporters, The next time Trump insults one of your female colleagues, if one of you doesn’t interject and say “Excuse me, sir, but fuck you.” God is going to lose his mind. Regards, God

So it turns out an ice agent is much more likely to have an arrest record than an immigrant.

I am happy to pay $30 a year for USPS Prime, which delivers mail daily to my home

I was online all weekend and all day today and just learned about #Bolsonaro trying to flee to US on @maddow.bsky.social tonight.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Thank you @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com for the only sensible analysis of the end of shutdown and most important LINKING TO EPSTEIN COVERUP! I needed that! I’m halfway through Nobody’s Girl and sure every person connected had sex at Epstein’s. perhaps a few victims were over 18 but it was REAL.

why is @maddow.msnbc.com having Bernie Sanders on?? Hr is NOT A DEMOCRATIC PARTY MEMBER! The Dems should speak for themselves.

New York completely rejected left-NIMBYism today. we elected a socialist pro-housing mayor, and passed pro-housing ballot measures with a diverse coalition that was strongest in the Bronx, winning every borough by double digits (except the MAGA NIMBYs Staten Island)

We got almost 900 trick-or-treaters tonight! Got barriers from the city to keep cars out. Decorated and had interactive activities. Super cool haunted house next door. I did a roulette wheel to pick treat. Love my neighborhood!

If the government is shut down why am I getting emails from Medicare, Social Security, and the National Parks merch operation?
