Desperately pivoting
Is there anything those of us local to the area can do to support the situation? Because I know that jack in the box/waymo fire.

I don’t disagree, but LAPD is going to escalate no matter what. I would rather ask, why does LAPD – who receive billions in taxpayer dollars for training and operations – let something as innocuous/common as fireworks get to them?

Anyway, we’re on the same side here, stay safe out there

I mean, it’s just people who showed up? Idk fireworks are just kind of an all-occasion thing here 🤷‍♂️

fwiw every time I saw someone throwing rocks, plenty of folks told them to knock it off.

The good news is that fascist are inherently, incapable of properly addressing threats.

I wouldn’t count on it. The only thing giving me hope right now is that after Germany emerged as a social democracy after their Nazi phase.

@edzitron.com is right about all of this btw, maybe if Mozilla weren't so desperate to compete above their weight they'd actually be relevant again. But hey I'm sure offering AI slop no one wants will definitely make you stand out against companies with far larger pockets and talent pools.

Damn shame to see all the orgs that made the web better breathlessly embracing the dumbest trends. Mozilla doesn't get to claim they're better than Google and still act like a bunch of insulated rich dudes. We don't want trends like "vertical tabs, smart search and more AI-powered features" (🤮)

I got this wrong once and it made me feel like the worst person alive. Never heard from that guy again.

In a sane world, billionaires would be terrified to step foot in a developed country like the United States.

Yeah, I saw that on average. They get 40 calls per second but recently they’ve been getting 1600/second. Thank you for your service.
