Just donated to re-elect , the courageous MT legislator who represents the district two blocks from where I grew up, and whose very existence has sent the into a fascistic tailspin.

Police just cleared the gallery of the Montana House with protesters chanting “let her speak” and “who’s
House, our House.” Republicans had vacated the Floor with Democrats remaining. @ZoAndBehold stayed standing with her microphone raised throughout. #mtleg #mtpol #mtnews

I keep hearing the LAPD is understaffed, but every time I see someone getting arrested (often!) there are 6+ cop cars & a dozen officers standing around, and usually a helicopter, too.

Good morning. Abortion can be self-managed with pills sourced in your community. 1 mifepristone pill followed by 4 misoprostol pills 24-48 hours later OR 12 miso pills dissolved 4 at a time under the tongue every 3 hours. You don’t need to tell police what you took if they ask.

These men have thoroughly gutted a profitable, talented industry because they are greedy and boring and frankly too stupid to know any better.

YOU’RE GONNA CANCEL, RIGHT?

Netflix's Sarandos on a #WGA strike:
"We don’t want a strike. If there is one, we have a large base of upcoming shows and films from around the world, so we can probably serve our members better than most. We really don’t want this... but we have to make plans for the worst."

Can Clarence and Ginni not afford to care for his elderly mother without the help of their billionaire buddy? They are very rich, right?
Quote Tweet
Justice Clarence Thomas checked the box “none” for his wife’s income during a period when Ginni Thomas earned more than $686,000 from the Heritage Foundation. When called on the lie, he said it was “due to a misunderstanding of the filing instructions" washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/

Merritt Tierce can see inside my brain. Or maybe the internet can see inside my brain. Or maybe there’s no difference between those things because human consciousness has become a circular robot vacuum chasing it’s own signal.

Harlan Crow bought Clarence Thomas's childhood home so he could turn it into a museum about the origins of evil
Quote Tweet
New: The transaction is the first known instance of money flowing from Crow to the Supreme Court justice. The sale netted the GOP megadonor two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ mother was living. propub.li/416wwE2

Honestly think the best way to shake up Hollywood is for all these fancy writers/producers on 8-figure deals to gang up on the companies as activist investors.

This is why everything is a reboot now, or based on some giant IP — those are things the shareholders have heard of.

If you’re wondering why tv seems to be getting worse lately, it’s because every decision that gets made — which shows to greenlight, where to invest resources, which giant overall deals to announce — is about one thing: impressing shareholders.

It’s very funny to announce that your show is a “faithful adaptation” when it not only hasn’t been written yet — it doesn’t even have a writer attached!

Virtually every inch of contemporary U.S. cities has been privatized and enclosed. If you don't have money, it's hard to find a place to use the bathroom, take shelter from rain, or gather with friends. Enforcing this arrangement with force is one of the main things police do.

I can’t get over how patronizing it is to refer to the “cognitive class,” as if doctors use their brains, while nurses are mindless idiots.

It’s definitely going to replace what you do, which is spouting utter nonsense with a general air of authority.

More and more, I think ChatGPT is coming for the cognitive class. It's going to replace what doctors do -- hearing symptoms and making diagnoses -- before it changes what nurses do -- helping patients get up and handle themselves in the hospital. twitter.com/BloombergTV/st…

Gonna write a movie about a dreamy-eyed Kerouac fan (Michael Cera) who shows up at Bohemian Grove thinking it’s a poetry workshop — and winds up busting a conservative plot to take over the Supreme Court. I call it… BOHEMIAN GROVER.
