Old/New Friends:

I'm not a popular account, nor do I wish to become one.

I want to reconnect and/or get to know you.

Still, this tsunami of follows within a few days prevents me from vetting and following back in real time.

It's not personal.

Don't be a stranger. Squeaky wheels get greased.
"There’s this Chekhov quote that I’m kind of living by lately. He says a work of art doesn’t have to solve a problem — it just has to formulate it correctly."

A reminder: even amid the chaos and the horrors, the world still needs you. Your kindness. Your art. Every bit of good that you put into the world.

Please don’t forget this.

U.S. SPORTS TEAMS should suspend all competition until the Trump regime stops acting like a fascist banana republic run by a daft, capricious, syphilitic madman. (I love the encouragement, @maddow.bsky.social, but Libs holding signs in the streets ain’t gonna stop this. WE NEED HELP.)

Trump is trying to change how the midterm elections are conducted
Many of these endeavors go far beyond typical political persuasion, challenging long-established democratic norms.

In remembrance of last January’s tragic firestorms in Los Angeles, I have ordered all flags on state buildings to be flown at half-staff.

For the 31 lives we lost, the heroic first responders, and the resilience of survivors now rebuilding — California will not turn away.

I've directed state agencies and emergency management partners to pre-position emergency crews, equipment, and resources ahead of forecasted heavy rain, strong winds, and flood risks.

When severe weather threatens our communities, we don’t wait to react. We get ahead of it.

Wake up, Los Angeles! Mother Nature and Santa Claus have joined forces this Christmas. The rain predictions on your weather apps may seem like this is going to be no big deal, but there is the possibility of 1-3 hours of torrential rain, per Daniel Swain. (And more.)

This is not OK.

Not in a million years.

RIP, James Ransone.
We failed you. I’m so sorry.

Remember this guy? The gymnast/dancer in the leotard in a field of green who inspired strangers worldwide to let their freak flag fly in the Dreadful Covid-y Spring of 2020.

HOW IS HE? Do we know?

I hope he has his own TV show.

Pretend there’s a war on (there isn’t).

Pretend drug traffickers are terrorists (they’re not).

Pretend overdoses are armed foreign attacks (they’re not).

Pretend “the president says so” means Congress has no role (it doesn’t).

Voila, legal. When factual reality is irrelevant, any law can apply.
