David's review of The Leopard Is Loose

CNN is the worst when it comes to this — the "unrest" is in, what, maybe a 2-by-2-block area downtown?
The spin has already started as if our entire city is in chaos. I went from Burbank all the way over to Koreatown on surface streets tonight and jackshit was happening. The CNN coverage makes it look like world war 3 and that’s what Trump wants so he and his fucking goons can come shoot Angelenos.

One of the coolest beach towns I've ever had the pleasure of visiting
"La Grande Motte" emerged during France's post-war economic boom, known as the Trente Glorieuses, when paid holidays fuelled the rise of mass tourism. The govt initiated an ambitious project to develop their own Mediterranean coastline, to keep French tourists in France.

Are we clear now a private businessman shouldn’t be in a position to control the space program—that this richest man in the world fueled by drugs, ego & hate shouldn’t be partnering with a malignant sociopath in the WH immunized by the SCOTUS & bent on pocketing billions & flouting the Constitution?

I honestly think that bringing back VH1’s Pop-Up Video, but for news programming, would be perfect. Fun and informative, with only a small amount of reading- it’s made for these times.
