At this point, anyone who takes anything ICE or CBP says at face value is being willfully obtuse.

Greetings! I’m here in South LA, in front of Santee High School. Federal law enforcement rammed a vehicle, and shot at least one suspect during a law enforcement operation. One man who streams on Tik Tok, Nick, was reportedly hit. One US marshal hit. Lots of preliminary info.

My union—the LA Times Guild—has authorized a strike with the support of 85% of our membership.

This comes after years of brutal layoffs and no cost-of-living raises since 2021.

Next up: we bargain. But if we have to strike, we will 🪧

If you politely mute when you aren't talking, it doesn't even matter if someone is scream meowing in the background of your zoom
an orange cat is on the floor on a towel with all his paws curled up. He isn’t screaming. But if he was, this wouldn’t affect you if you mute when you aren’t talking

I'm finally back at it with stats!

Gonzo is at 96.03% for the month of September with 22 crimbs so far this month. He has a YTD ratio of 145 non-crimb to 127 crimb days.

Gonzo also has one 200% day and (144) 100% days. The bulk of his crimb days (91) are a 95%!
A bar graph outlining the number of deductions Gonzo has received for his misbehaviors each month. Gonzo received 22 deductions in January, 12 in February, 17 in March, 19 in April, 29 in May, 27 in June, 16 in July, 21 in August, and 22 as of September 29th. A pie chart outlining Gonzo’s number of crimb (crime) days and non-crime days. The first section shows that Gonzo has 127 crime days, accounting for 46.7% of the year so far. The second section shows that Gonzo has 145 non-crime days, accounting for 53.3% of the year so far. A pie chart outlining Gonzo’s behavior grade by number of days. The first section shows that he’s received a 200% behavior grade on 1 day / .4% of the time. The second section shows that he’s been 100% good on 144 days, or 52.9% of the time. The third section shows that he’s received a 95% behavior grade on 91 days, or 33.5% of the time. The fourth section shows that he has received a 90% good behavior grade on 22 days, or 8.1% of the time. The fifth section shows that he has received an 85% good behavior grade on 8 days or 2.9% of the time. The sixth section shows Gonzo has received an 80% on 4 days or 1.5% of the time. The last section shows that he has received less than 80% on 2 days or .7% of the time.

Allegedly they wouldn’t “have to vacuum so much” if I stopped “being so dramatic” when they are “just trying to brush me” which all sounds fake. I choose neither
