Pasadena clinic received $34 million in Medicare skin graft scam, court documents say:
Utterly disgusting from the town I was born in. Then again, Pasadena has long been an enclave for Crapitalists, but also where my father fought their ideology. #crapitalism #healthcare #medicare #scams

Wow! #TinyDesk never disappoints!! I’m an instant fan of #InfinitySong, a #softrock #RandB outfit from #NYC made up on Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd. Be sure to watch all the way through as Israel lights the desk on (not literal) fire. Fantastic! #music www.youtube.com/watch
Having trouble connecting to your Bonjour-compatible wireless printer from your Mac sitting next to it on the same network? Try turning off > System Settings > Network > Wi-Fi > Private Wi-Fi Address. Handy when on public Wi-Fi. Frustration engine at home. Stupid. #apple #howto #tech
Watched: Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender 🍿 Utterly gorgeous. Packed with action set-pieces from beginning to end. The story is fascinating, but ultimately is both too rushed and leans too heavily on tropes. Ends up making it fan-service eye candy and little more. #movies #animation
Everyone needs a stiff hit of #SteelyDan at least a few times a year, and Dan Belcher is our dealer. Dan serves up the finest Dan remasters available, working his magic on media that would otherwise remain degraded. Don’t forget to sub. #music #livemusic #jazzrock youtu.be/c4-79n6ei…
Well, this is disappointing. I know that in some cases #AI is helpful, but it’s mostly used to make stupid shit, froth up racists, or get people killed. The future is not bright if #TechBros keep crushing human rights. Toss the whole lot and start over with real regulation. #firefox #mozilla news.slashdot.org/story/26/…
This is both terrifying and stupid. It’s not like drones aren’t loud or can’t be tracked or other citizens don’t report them, especially when they’re flying around a town. And how bad of a drug dealer do you need to be to kill off your clients? Stop selling fentanyl!! #LosAngeles www.latimes.com/californi…
If you are going to challenge yourself to listen to something you’ve never heard before, I’d strongly suggest sitting down for an hour and a half with Yes' Tales From Topographic Oceans from 1973. It’s a double album and each side is a single track. #music #progressiverock #prog
I’ve not been interested in mainline #comics for some time and when I was I made mine #Marvel. #DC’s Absolute line, however, might be changing that. @circleeleven.bsky.social has a fantastic overview of Absolute Wonder Woman and I’m excited to read it, and Absolute Batman. #humanism youtu.be/o7UqZaakF…
I used to really like #System76’s Pop!_OS. I was really pumped for #Cosmic, their desktop environment. Unfortunately, they decided to supplant #GNOME with a decidedly beta release, making the distro almost unusable. I’ve been using #Fedora since. Solid. #linux #FOSS youtu.be/MwZq2_J_l…
Cop was about to arrest #Florida #Republican congressional house member Cory Mills for assault of a woman. Mills spoke to the victim. She changed her story. Mills not arrested. Warrant requested. Prosecutor declined. Male power fantasy maintained. Disgusting. #uspol #crime #TFG #MAGA www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…
From campuses to classrooms: Turning Point USA’s next frontier:
Is the devastation we’ve already wrought on public #education in #America not enough? Why not convert them all into re-education camps 🫥 #uspol #fascism
Watching today’s Y&R and Adam says to Nick, “Matt told me you OD’ed trying to score some drugs.” LOLZ. Never done anything illicit, have you writer’s room? I used to score two-finger baggies of weed in DTLA back in the 90’s and I never got high until I actually smoked it! #TV #youngandrestless
The latest video from Spectacles gives a really good break down of the differences between a Democracy and a Republic and quite a bit of insight into today’s American politics. Oh, and how today’s Democrats aren’t democratic at all. #uspol #history youtu.be/LzbJacGGt…
Netflix Sets ‘Charlie vs. the Chocolate Factory’ Animated Feature for 2027:
Oh, lord no. Why not just faithfully adapt the book into a series? Because some dipshit thinks they know better, of course. Shades of JJ Abrams much? #netflix #movies #animation
The Fossil Fuel System Is Collapsing – and Taking Civilisation’s Safety Net With It:
It’s not like we haven’t been shouting this from rooftops for decades now. They just choose not to listen and pursue short term profits instead. #crapitalism #climatechange
Sheriff’s lieutenant with million-pound fireworks stash led to deadly blast, prosecutors say:
Ummm… what?! I feel like 1 MILLION POUNDS of fireworks has to be a typo, though. That’s 500 tons! #WTF #Cops #California
No, Michael J. Fox isn’t dead — and he’s joking about it:
If the guy they say is dead is telling you he’s not dead, somebody fucked up. Sooooo stupid. Cheers to many more years, MJF!! #BadJournalism #WTF #NotDeadYet #EveryoneDies

After very little deliberation, I finally flushed my #LinkedIn account down the toilet. Permanent deletion. Poof! Nearly 500 connections which never helped me with anything after decades of work.

Pressure grows for Swalwell to exit governor’s race, criminal inquiry launched:
True or not, #Swalwell is done. If true, he deserves it, and to be imprisoned for his crimes. If false, then we’re looking at a conspiracy to take over California. Regardless, disgusting. #uspol #calpol
Sex toys thrown at detention facility in L.A. anti-ICE protest; police declare unlawful assembly:

When Brad Bird directs an animated feature, it’s going to be special. It looks to be the case with Netflix’s Ray Gunn coming this year. Described by Bird as a blend of 40’s noir and Buck Rogers, the early stills from the film look freaking amazing! #movies #animation www.avclub.com/ray-gunn-…
Watched: GOAT 🍿 SONY #Animation nailed it with the visuals and the game sequences are easy to follow and very dynamic. Where the film falls flat is in story structure. The gags aren’t funny, either, but fortunately there are few. Just a basic sports plot, and that’s about it. #movies #reviews
