Quick word on the "LA Riots"...

1. I was at Disneyland on Saturday, went out for bagels in Burbank on Sunday, and walked Sunset in Hollywood today. Drove the 101 (main road that goes through DTLA) multiple times. LA is fine. Actually, it's not fine, but "riots" aren't the reason.
This reminds me of the episode of 24 where President David Palmer is poisoned by a handshake.

Don't you Texas my California.
Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was spotted earlier today, January 20, 2026, on a plane heading to Laguna Beach as the state of Texas braces for a rare ice threat and arctic cold front.

Stranger Things premiered less than 2 months after @blammoair.bsky.social and I started dating. It was the first show that we watched together.

After seeing this headline, I went and read Epic Games (Fortnite) CEO Tim Sweeney's full take on Twitter/Grok/CSAM, and it's just awful.

Simply: When you give ALL actors the same benefit of the doubt as GOOD actors, the people who win most are the BAD actors.

Everything is terrible, but this shouldn't be overlooked. Elon is just out there doing blatant white nationalism. There is no distance between this and what the slave plantation owners said.
Elon Musk Just Endorsed Blatant White Nationalism And the Silence is Deafening
On Thursday morning Elon Musk retweeted (with a ‘100%’ endorsement) a post declaring that: If white men become a minority, we will be slaughtered. Remember, if non-Whites openly hate White men while...

I am not sure how it is vindicating to be holding your phone and recording video while at the same time firing a gun.

One year ago today, our apartment building was placed under an evacuation warning for the Sunset Fire. We left. We were among the lucky ones, as the string of fires in that stretch of days killed hundreds, destroyed thousands of homes and structures, and burned tens of thousands of acres of land.

Going for headshots in a residential community, and then fleeing the scene, masked. ICE agents are poorly trained and a danger to US citizens, and that is the intent. Abolish; impeach.

January 6 is a reminder of the consequences of weak leadership in those making community, moderation, trust, safety, and policy decisions. Sometimes from people in those roles - and sometimes from the bosses they report to.

The White House's January 6 website is like the leaflets the Church of Scientology hands out on Hollywood Boulevard. "Want to know the truth?" I already do, buddy.

Nick Shirley, whom conservatives have lionized as the next Bob Woodward, is confused about why so many medical providers are in the same building.

He doesn’t understand the concept of medical plazas.

Jared Kushner has somehow found a place at Coalition of the Willing press conference with Scholz, Zelensky, Macron, Starmer and Witkoff.

Kushner has no official position in the US government.
