The side always wearing masks is going to dox the people trying to help their neighbors and community? I’m sure that will have the desired effect.

This morning ICE attempted to enter into the Ecuadorian consulate on Central Ave but were barred from entering. I spoke with Ambassador Yanez this afternoon and they want to make sure the Ecuadorian community knows it’s still safe to come to the consulate.

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

It’s weirdly hard to think of supervillains who’d work with our stupid evil government simply because the overwhelming majority of them have pride. It’d have to be someone really desperate to be somebody like Stilt-Man or some shit. Doctor Doom types aren’t insecure enough. Maybe the Joker would.

(This is funny, because when I saw the LoTR tweet, I thought the metaphor was off, and specifically that it was more like Norman Osborne having to replace Venom with Stilt-Man) (I mean, lol)







I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

I cannot tell you how many people, including me, have been seriously screwed by this. Both sides deserve to be locked in a room without food, water, heat, or mercy until a deal can be reached.

Oops, our U.S. data center partner just so happened have an outage that shadowbanned all left-wing political content on our platform for 48 hours. And this just so happened to coincide with us being purchased by one of Trump's friends. Our bad.

I tried using Oracle Cloud (I know…). Within a day they suspended my account and told me to contact support. But my account doesn't qualify for support for some obscure reason. They really Oracled it up.

The first shot in the L.A. newspaper wars has been fired. Yeastie Boys — who as a native New Yorker I can confirm makes mediocre ass bagels — launched a big California Post promotion yesterday. The Internet roundly dunked on them. All references now scrubbed from their IG.
