This is true. Many homeowners, including those who have NO brush or trees left on their property, or who even did clear their brush, are getting notices from LA city telling them they’ll soon be fined or likened massive amounts for not clearing their own brush. Criminal.
Is this true @KarenBassLA ? Any comment @GavinNewsom or @BrandonRichards ?

the **actual** biggest political story that no one talks about in redistricting is that the Census Bureau messed up their count in 2020 in a way that gave like 5-10 extra seats to blue states, ADMITTED they messed it up, but we all just sorta have to wait 10 years to fix it
Anyway here’s the Trump Administration explaining that tariffs are a tax trade.gov/import-tariffs…
This is not tax. Very different.
Which 1970s film best represents the New Hollywood movement?
So you’re saying that until April 2025, we had a 2.5% tariff, then Trump hiked it to 27.5%, then he lowered it to 15%, and you think increasing the tariff from 2.5% in early April to 15% in July is some sort of win? Please go read about the chocolate ration in “1984”.
FireAid: Together, we raised an estimated $100 million that have been designated for direct relief and will not be used for administrative purposes. Also FireAid: FireAid was a newly formed 501(c)(3) organization, it was never the plan to distribute funds directly to wildfire…

Meanwhile the actual government of Gaza, which much of the media continually cites, seems to have no agency or responsibility. They can openly reject ceasefire agreements, refuse to hand over hostages, starve/shoot their own people, and still no one is putting the blame on them.
This is a great idea, for laughs! Hey @grok, please list every famous person, government official or representative, or professional athlete who has blocked me

This was a very enjoyable and entertaining comic book movie, made even more delicious by the awesome musical score by Michael Giacchino and retro design aesthetics. Fun on the big screen in @imax!

“Sure Hamas stole from all the other organizations. But they didn’t steal **regularly** from the UN” “Regularly” is doing some heavy lifting there
An era ends with @LightTheFusePod signing off. @CharlesH00d & @DrewTailored delivered an epic deep dive into the #MissionImpossible universe. Thanks for the thrilling ride! 🕶️💥 #LightTheFuse
Old friends Michael Caine, Sean Connery and Roger Moore having some fun at the 1989 Oscars.
This is such an absurd lie and a perfect example of why people don’t trust the media. The fact Hamas diverted large portions of aid for resale/profit is well established. Here was WaPO TODAY on how Hamas has gone broke since the UN stopped being the main source of aid to Gaza
Breaking News: Israeli military officials say they have no proof Hamas routinely steals UN aid, undercutting a claim Israel has used to limit food for Gaza. nyti.ms/4opoK4n
This is easy for me. The answer is Jerry Goldsmith. I wish STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE were a more tightly edited picture than it is, but Goldsmith's score will forever be the most glorious musical evocation of the romance and mystery of exploring the stars.
Name your favorite film composer. You cannot say Hans Zimmer or John Williams. Go!
The Tea hack was a "hack" in the sense that it's a "hack" when your kid double clicks on a folder on your desktop while you were in the bathroom
Calling the Tea hack a "hack" is honestly a stretch. They put everything in a publicly accessible DB. Not in the "they didn't encrypt" sense, in the "literally publicly accessible URL" sense. The "hack" is downloading the .jpg files from a publicly accessible URL.
That lying b!tch is so insufferable even AI can’t stand her.
Ghislaine Maxwell traveling with 13-year-old Eric Trump aboard his father’s 727, neither parent present, makes me reconsider a theory I recently heard: that Trump’s withholding of Epstein materials stems from him having sent his sons to Epstein Island to lose their V cards.
