Please give me this house. I feel I need someplace with a turret and vineyards. For reasons.

The one for Paul Debevec is long overdue, the DW animation toolset does indeed kick much ass, and it’s awesome to see my bro Darin advocating for these great artists. He’s a good man.

I’m guessing it’s because a bunch of Southern states are actually arresting females who miscarry, charging them with murder. Some 400 at last count.

Since that happens naturally to 1 out of every 4 pregnancies, I’m thinking females in said states are not psyched to fuck, and risk getting pregnant.

El Niño flooded my Honda Accord Hatchback when I moved to LA. Water was waist high on Sepulveda Blvd in Sherman Oaks.

I have. 2016 on Ventura.

And the flooding was higher then. Came up to the middle of my Ford Escape SUV car door at one point. Was frankly lucky to make it home that night.

That was the same year that 900 lb block of concrete dropped onto Laurel Canyon Blvd due to mud slides.
This is Melrose Ave right now in between La Brea and Fairfax. Never seen any flooding here like this in my life.

Ash Wednesday (this Wednesday) is already a big deal for Catholics, but it sounds like it will be especially profound in Chicago this year.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real.

Deeply embarrassed on behalf of all Ians
AI filmmaking is completely unserious.

You've got people with $30k begging the internet for ideas by next week because they have nothing of their own to say, it's just slop for the sake of slop. Embarrassing state of affairs.
