just to be clear: it's no different if you're a wealthy white collar/office worker than it would be in other countries. your company will always have paid leave. so if you're rich, you take the week off. if you're poor, they tell you to get fucked and work through it
the funny thing about the rest of the world pretending covid is over is that if you work in entertainment and go to set, full covid protocols are still strictly in place everywhere. props to the unions for making sure my heart doesn't explode
i love when my husband uses a gas stove to boil a steak

crime is rampant these days for example all of our officers can’t stop sucking and fucking in public
there’s only one tiny bench at this fairly busy bus stop i frequent so people always sit on this retaining wall behind it; the person who owns the business decided to put metal spikes on it

i need to build out the world of this story a bit more: this groundhog was a stand-in for the real staten island chuck because chuck had bitten mayor bloomberg in 2009

that would never happen in america, where children routinely accrue hundreds of dollars in lunch debt that will haunt them for the rest of their lives

in the context of capitalist alienation i feel like hostile architecture is a great example of how the capitalist class wants you to enter businesses to purchase things and immediately leave, there is no hanging out allowed in the liminal space between home and purchase zone
seems like it'll feed a lot of people. good. mind your own business you crone

I’m on a train that is so packed (with 10 minute headways) that people on multiple platforms have not even been able to get on, people are definitely not riding just like the LA Times says

Replying to
that's right, that's exactly what i said. you sure got me. you are very smart. infrastructure is when your city's buildings from decades ago are literally collapsing from inclement weather and can do very small things to mitigate it but refuses to.
would love if you instead focused on making the bus show up when it's scheduled to

We will be stepping up enforcement of our zero-tolerance policy against drugs and alcohol on our system.
amazing headline considering the LAPD themselves made this information public. we’re all trying to find the guy who did this etc etc
Quote
Activists obtained and posted online LAPD officers' pictures. The images included undercovers working sensitive details in cartels and gangs, causing "shock and panic" for them and their families and calls for heads to roll.

Sweeps killed another unhoused friend of ours.
If you've organized around the westside, you may have met Anna. She was displaced when the Mar Vista Rec Center was swept, spent three months in jail, lost everything, and finally died just a few days ago.
Five a day dying in LA.

you may have heard all officers were sent home early today after fentanyl was found on the station floor but it was powdered sugar from our donuts. not sure why lieutenant carl died after touching it tho

the best part of working for this organization is getting paid six figures a year to plant evidence on innocent people
money is fake when we need to help capital, money is real and serious when we want people to have medical care or loan forgiveness

it is wild to me that oversized vehicles are not talked about the way we talk about gun violence

friend who was riding the purple line today said 4 metro cops stopped the entire train to hassle a random guy about fare evasion, refused to check his tap card after he said he did pay, when they finally checked he had paid! fuck cops on metro! fuck fare checks!
CD2 has scheduled more LAPD sweeps in one day tomorrow than I have ever seen on one schedule - almost 15 full blown sweeps during flooding conditions
got the security footage of the dudes who stole my bike and they're clearly pros who've done it before, carry all the tools, and knew how to destroy my bike alarm and find my hidden airtag. god if you're a pro bike thief you're just a massive piece of shit
when people ask me why i bike and i tell them it's way faster than driving they never believe me
Quote
Currently about 10% faster to bike from Santa Monica to West Hollywood than to drive. Probably about 20% faster if you’re on an e-bike. I bet people would bike it if it felt safer.

This is what the LAPD is focusing on right now in light of the police murder of Tyre Nichols. It’s sending this out to community groups and telling them to be on the “lookout for antifa.”

just a reminder that as of january 1, 2023 it is perfectly legal to "jaywalk" (AKA walk) in california. jaywalking is a made up bullshit term and a lot of people are very mad the ban has been lifted, which makes it all the more awesome

my neighbor and his husband have been walking around the building maskless for like a week now talking about how sick they are with COVID and i truly wish to stop witnessing man made horrors beyond my comprehension
LAPD has blocked off Wilshire and Western I assume because they anticipate protests so this is the second time in a month I’ve missed a train because of LAPD blocking an entire road for no reason

lot of people surprised every time dasha nekrasova says something racist. as your resident eastern european may i remind you she's from belarus which literally called itself white russia to tell people they were the real white people of eastern europe
the wild thing is this video doesn't even convey how loud this shit is on the platform itself, it actually sounds a lot quieter on video because your phone is probably trying to prevent it from clipping
it's so cool how every time police contracts with any part of the city or county are up for a vote, the cops use their massive PR team of 50+ people to publish articles full of actual made up shit to every major newspaper and people just believe it

Chernobyl killed just 31 ppl thx to competent disaster management. A far more appropriate (but less ideologically convenient) comparison is India’s Bhopal Disaster, which claimed 4-16k lives when US company Union Carbide ignored safety procedures and poisoned an entire city.
