It really is crazy how my feed on BlueSky is all breaking news about the Minneapolis shooting and my Twitter feed isn’t.

Welcome to Minnesota, fuckers. Also this is super disturbing because the ICE agent's assault rifle appears to fire as he falls down.
This was filmed by a friend near Chicago and Lake last night.

Now do Los Angeles.
Gas prices are projected to average just $2.97 a gallon nationally this year, according to forecasts from fuel savings platform GasBuddy.
If that forecast, shared first with CNN, proves accurate, 2026 will be the fourth straight year of falling prices at the pump. https://cnn.it/4991zWc

Perhaps the vice president should have considered utilizing the services of the vast law-enforcement apparatus at his disposal, rather than googling conspiracy theories on the Internet.
JD Vance: "I remember watching every video of the assassination looking for clues, trying to understand what happened. I tried to hide my friend and that terrible bullet hitting him, but I would try to look around. I stayed up all night for many nights in a row researching every conspiracy theory."

So I’ve seen some backlash against “write your spec” on this device lately. And as a big proprietor of the movement (I mean — it’s my hashtag) I thought I would share a story with you all.
And I promise you it’s not going where you think it’s going.

"In the end, feature writers write movies. And yes, it’s great to be paid up front to do the job, but you are in control of a spec script. It is the ultimate gamble on yourself...In my experience the benefit of writing a spec far outweighs the negative." #Writtenby www.writtenby.com/career-craft...

Another year of my favorite low stakes show THE GILDED AGE. This season there is a multiple episode arc about whether some people will drink alcohol or not (and they’re not even teenagers!).

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.
