Going to make a thread of every reason to NEVER vote for Newsom. Let's start with:
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

The left/right arrows on the sides of the image are maybe the most embarrassing part of this. It’s a screenshot of AI slop!

Re-watched A CURE FOR WELLNESS. If anything, it’s not bleak enough. The best looking a movie this viscerally unpleasant has ever been. 100 stars. Gore Verbinski’s masterpiece.

Elon’s tunnel scam is the worst possible option for transit even in places where it’s easy to tunnel. Florida is—uh—not an easy place to tunnel.

Excited for Universal’s theme park development to be stunted for the next decade while they sink money into this doomed project.
The company is best known for creating the underground Las Vegas Loop. But little is known about how The Boring Company intends to proceed in Central Florida, including how it might approach constr…

COLOSSAL is a terrific film that was tragically underseen back in 2017. Go watch it if you haven’t!

Centrists might as well be MAGA.
Fuck that.
NEW: The “centrist” Abundance think tank pushing Democrats toward deregulation is run by a registered corporate lobbyist for OpenAI, Larry Ellison’s Oracle, and a crypto think tank.

McIver: "How do you think Judgement Day will work for you with so much blood on your hands?"

Based on these results, I suspect a lot of voters haven’t actually watched THREE CABALLEROS recently.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST is a masterpiece—probably the best movie Disney animation has made. THREE CABS is most notable for the scene where Donald gets so horny he goes into a hallucinogenic trance.
Today in the second round of the Walt Disney Animation Studios bracket, we just may have to part ways with a trio of lovable birds, because they’re facing off against a pretty tough customer.

Getting ready for Gore Verbinski’s return after spending a decade in movie jail. Re-watched RANGO for the first time in a few years. The canyon chase is an all-timer action setpiece surpassed only by the train chase finale of THE LONE RANGER.

A crime that this man hasn’t been given a STAR WAR.

OMG!!!

Nithya is who we want to be mayor of Los Angeles. I've worked with her personally through @hofoco.org. She's a progressive who actually gives a shit about helping people, not enriching herself. THE DREAM CANDIDATE:

www.latimes.com/california/s...
Councilmember Nithya Raman to run for L.A. mayor, challenging onetime ally Karen Bass
Raman would immediately pose a formidable challenge to Bass. She was the first council member to be elected with support from the Democratic Socialists of America.
