So chilling. A woman alone trying to walk to her home. Not aggressive or confrontational; simply standing there - and the LAPD shot her (filmed the night before the LA curfew). I can’t get the horror of this out of my mind. #LAPD #LA

I love Van Gogh’s art. And his portraits are fascinating. I knew a bit of this story, but not the extent of the friendship. Something lovely to distract from the other stuff in your feed 🖼 #vangogh #art www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

Went into X trying to delete my little account and the post at the top of my feed was by Musk - a pic of him (with a group which may’ve included Trump? Didn’t care to check.) Still trying to delete my little account but get an error code. I guess changing my password yesterday didn’t help?
