🚨Do you understand the irony of what just happened.. the FBI spent two years investigating Hillary Clinton for using a personal email for government work.. it dominated every news cycle.. it decided an election.. "lock her up.." the man they put in charge of the FBI.. just got his personal email hacked by Iran.. the DOJ confirmed it.. Iran-linked group "Handala" breached FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email and got his data.. think about the timing.. America has fired 850 Tomahawk missiles at Iran this month.. spent billions.. and Iran didn't fire back with a missile.. they walked through the front door of the FBI.. and here's what nobody wants to say out loud.. the FBI Director was using a personal email in the first place.. the same thing the FBI called a national security threat when Hillary did it.. the agency that decides what's a crime.. doesn't follow its own rules.. The rules only apply until you're the one making them.

This photo is the entire American cost curve story in a single frame. You can buy a 1080p mini projector on Amazon for $49. A refurbished laptop for $150. A Bluetooth speaker for $25. Total home theater setup: under $250, and the prices dropped 95% in the last 15 years. A studio apartment in Hollywood rents for $1,986 per month. That's $23,832 per year for 518 square feet. The same neighborhood where this tent is pitched. Technology followed a deflation curve. Computing power per dollar doubles roughly every two years. Storage costs collapse. Screens get cheaper. A device that cost $3,000 in 2010 costs $49 in 2026 and fits in your palm. The projector in this tent is almost certainly better than anything a mid-tier hotel offered 10 years ago. Housing followed an inflation curve. LA rents are up 65% over the last decade. The county has 72,308 people experiencing homelessness. The median rent requires an income of roughly $110,000 to afford without being cost-burdened. California added about 100,000 housing units per year while needing 180,000. So this is what happens when one cost curve goes to zero and the other goes vertical. You get a man projecting a movie onto the wall of a tent in Hollywood because the entertainment is the cheap part. The four walls are the expensive part. A projector costs $49. A studio in Hollywood costs $24,000 a year. 72,000 people in LA County can afford the home theater. The door that locks is the part that broke. That ratio tells you everything about which problems we solved and which ones we chose not to.

This story of the potentially irreversible destruction of a crown-jewel national park is rapidly unfolding with absolutely zero national media attention. Journalists — we need you. Where are you?

It sounds like an exaggeration but you really do regularly come across people in LA over the last few years who will straight up tell you that it’s no longer viable to work in film/tv and they’re looking for a new career. $900 million against that backdrop is unconscionable

“I’m wearing a pin I used to wear in 2003 during the illegal war in Iraq. Now, 23 years later, another illegal war has begun — led by Trump and Netanyahu. I also stand with Palestine.” — Javier Bardem at the Academy Awards, wearing a Handala pin. On the Oscars red carpet, Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton star) also drew attention to the unbearable circumstances Palestinians are facing.

The pattern of billionaires buying up every major news outlet and social media platform to turn them into right wing propaganda machines so they can keep those in power who won't tax their wealth should terrify every sane person.

The White House is framing whole milk in schools as a nutrition win. It isn't. Whole milk and low-fat milk have the same protein, calcium, vitamin D, and 13 essential nutrients. The only difference is about 50 extra calories and 5 grams of saturated fat per cup. There's some observational data suggesting kids who drink whole milk weigh less, but it's all high risk of bias, and no randomized trials have shown whole milk is actually better for them. What would actually improve school nutrition: giving kids more than 10 minutes to eat. Scheduling recess before lunch. Funding kitchens to cook real food instead of reheating processed products. Paying cafeteria workers competitive wages so schools can actually retain staff. Upgrading equipment that's decades old. Offering more menu choices, including culturally appropriate foods. Pre-slicing fruit so kids will actually eat it. Those cost money. Swapping milk cartons costs nothing and gets you a headline and whatever the hell that AI milk video was.

“The likelihood that your acts of resistance cannot stop the injustice does not exempt you from acting in what you sincerely and reflectively hold to be the best interests of your community.” Susan Sontag, At the Same Time: Essays and Speeches Jan 16, 1933 – Dec 28, 2004

This should be treated like the crisis it is

BREAKING: HUGE PROTESTS IN MINNESOTA AGAINST ICE SHOOTING OF RENEE GOODE

They shot her in the face as masked men shouted contradictory orders at her. She died amongst the stuffed toys of her children. Now they burn her name and memory in the pyre of their lies by framing her as a trained domestic terrorist. This is what they will do to any of us.

you don't need a 2 hour workout. you don't need to read a whole book this week. you don't need to write a full chapter. go for a walk. read 10 pages. write one paragraph. "a little" beats "nothing" every single time because it keeps the habit alive

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries: “It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read. It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones. “There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion. “If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the ‘medicine closet’ and choose a book. Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That’s why you should always have a nutrition choice! “Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good. Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity.”

i want time to watch more films but i also want time to read more books but i also want time to look at more nothing

But he means we’re trying to keep the air too clean to breathe, the water too clean to drink, and protecting too many animals — and corporate profit margins are shrinking slightly because of it.
