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.

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.

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.

Video taken by a witness shows the moment an ICE officer fatally shot a woman in a vehicle in Minneapolis on Wednesday.
