I prefer something substantive - not necessarily serious, just something interesting and not generic
Disfavor male gaze or creepy shit

I dunno Nick; why don't you ask the FBI, who used to track down and threaten teenagers with federal prison time for torrenting Metallica or copying a VHS tape?

Heartening to hear the hosts embrace correct cool takes such as campaigns and messaging having increasingly limited impact.
Unless Democrats and aligned orgs address the media ecosystem and democratize the party — both things they explicitly don’t want to do — that will remain the case.

Here’s an image from the mall cameras of that spot a few mins later, after key portion ICE and LAPD allegedly deleted. Other photos show how perfectly that camera was positioned.
If the full video were out months ago, it probably would have exonerated Richard immediately.
This smacks of a coverup.

Still unreported, should be investigated:
ICE shot Richard outside a mall. I visited mall security office. Guard said ICE and LAPD came in, used thumb drive to copy mall’s video footage, and THEN DELETED THE EVIDENCE from mall’s local drives. He showed me the missing timeline part saying “no data.”

Huge win for Richard Noticias LA, TikTok journalist shot by ICE. Criminal charges dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be refiled.
ICE did him DIRTY. Repeatedly. Inhumane treatment, basically medical torture.
Still in ICE custody on immigration case. They owe him unconditional release.

Remember the person who got a flesh-eating infection in their brain from using nasal irrigation with tap water
👃Yes, nasal rinsing shortens colds.
As cold season ramps up, one scientist says one of the most effective treatments is also the simplest: nasal saline irrigation.
Evidence shows it can ease symptoms, reduce spread and cut unnecessary antibiotic use.

This is an artificial mouth created by Japanese researchers. It uses artificial vocal cords, a trachea system, and a flexible silicone mouth that moves and shapes sound in real time.

Bruising on the back of the hand is so common in older adults that John Mulaney used to have a joke about it in his touring set in 2024. It is not a smoking gun for a peripheral IV no matter how badly journalists want it to be.

Employers refusing to pay to train their staff is a truly astonishing part of capitalism
We can’t find any guys who know what they’re doing. Also we can’t afford to train anyone.

Everyone always wants to know “Who is the American gestapo?” but no one ever stops to ask “How is the American gestapo?”
Just thinking... we give so much attention (as we should!) to the victims of state violence, ie, people sent to CECOT.
But, we give little consideration to the psychic violence suffered by those tasked with carrying out the physical violence.
Yes, they "chose" those jobs. But...
