I just left the hellscape formerly know as Pacific Palisades where I’ve lived for 26 years. I’m mad at what I saw. Our politicians have failed us. Unprepared, unimaginative, understaffed, now overwhelmed. Heads must roll for this disaster. I personally saw 100+ homes fully engulfed. Rick J. Caruso just... show more

Rail against govt spending, cry about socialism Disaster hits you in the fucking face NOW you want the govt to save you, and understand why the fuck we all have been so god damn vocal about Global Climate Change.

Jackie Walker - HRH, MP, MBE, ABC1 year ago

you just voted for a climate change denier ..

The Solutions Party1 year ago

Politicians are the problem. It’s time for real change beyond red and blue curtains on a sinking ship.

Jason1 year ago

Want to cut social services? How about climate change denier? Yeah this is the result.

Pay your fair share of taxes, asshat. You are a grifter.

Who runs all of these cities sir? Name the politicians.

State. County. City. All have blood on their hands for this.

The average home price in Pacific Palisades is $3.5 million. The average income is $360k. The 0.74% property tax rate is half the average 1.64% for the rest of LA. If you want more than 2 fire stations, you need to pay for them.

I was told there would be no malarkey1 year ago

Maybe pay more taxes and demand better infrastructure. Why you bellyaching at ordinary people on Twitter?

2025 NYC City Council D1 Republican Party1 year ago

Horrific! My heart breaks for you and your neighbors. However, may I say Palisades voted for it — you rejected President Trump who promised to you repeatedly that he would fix the man-made water shortage and drought problems in California which was a stupid result by idiot environmentalists to protect a type of fish. “Election has consequences.” The saying is not trivial or an ideological joy ride. Wrong votes will literally damage people’s lives. I hope Palisades residents will never for destructive Democrats again!

I saw the Glory of God I saw the Glory I just left a place, and I really don't know how to explain it. I escaped direct gunfire in the front and in the back with AK47 from all sides. I saw smoke around my car. None of us were hurt, how we escaped we didn't know. Thank you Jesus! Over 3 guys shooting at us. We went somewhere, while waiting for the person we heard gun shots. Only for us to see some guys with Ak 47 shoot at us. I started the car, reversed and saw more guys shooting. They were after some persons and thought we were with them. But those ones had ran. So they faced us I can't tell how we were unhurt. We saw smoke everywhere in the car I just kept driving and speaking in tongues. It was after we left and in a safe place that I saw our tire flat. God came through, we escaped, I was driving and I was looking at them shooting at us in the front, in the back, from all sides, I was reversing and they were shooting, all over the car we were feeling the smoke and it didn't hit us Until I left there, I didn't know what happened. How deep it was. Know I am seeing the guy in front pointing the AK 47 and shooting rapidly. Turning to meet another fire. Bending down and just speaking in tongues, the sounds were deafening and smokes all around the car. I had 3 guys inside with me. My workers. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real. What we have is real.

Anyone who cares about Ukraine MUST WATCH this. For me, personally, this made me emotional. I have been waiting for years for someone to do what Senator Bennet just did. Incredibly well done. Said with the same fire all of us would have if in his seat.

I get to go home in a few hours... To where I was homeless. At 16. This is where I lived… I graduated high school early. And went to Israel. I show you in this video where I lived on this beach in Tel Aviv. In the mornings, I’d go to the nearby Sheraton hotel. Wash up in the bathroom. Clean my underwear in the sink — with toothpaste. Then I’d go to the grocery store. Get bread, yogurt, and water. Go back to the hotel. And sit in the lobby to eat my breakfast — like the lady I was. Israelis on the beach came to know me. Strangers would invite me to their homes for Shabbat. You see, I may have been homeless. But it was only in recent years I realized that. I never saw it that way. Life wasn’t easy. But I had oceanfront property. And the confidence of a Fortune 500 CEO. And since that time, I have NEVER again taken a washing machine for granted. P.S. Toothpaste cleans underwear very well. Minty fresh!

🚨If We All Thought More Like This We Would Be Happier After reading Eckhart Tolle and sitting in stillness, I had this moment. Where everything dropped. Where I saw thought for what it really is, an illusion. Suddenly… I was free. I wasn’t my body. I wasn’t my problems. I wasn’t a separate being in the universe, I was the universe. There was this space, this presence. It wasn’t conceptual, it was felt… deeply. I’m not always there now. It comes and goes, but I’ve seen it. I’ve tasted it, and I want to take as many of you with me as I can. Because the feeling… is beyond amazing. A deep, tranquil meditation will take you there. Source:

John Fetterman doesn’t hold back on the DSA: “That wasn’t parody, this wasn’t Portlandia.” Fetterman: “As a Democrat, I, I just can’t ever defend these people. And then when you look at, at that woman in Wisconsin, I mean, if I’m, if I’m running for the governor with her as a Democrat, I’d be losing my mind. I mean, I’m losing to, to total crazy pants, and I, and now, like, I’ve, I’ve watched her in some of her views, you know, whether it’s in Wisconsin or whether in Michigan now, you know, these are the people that are winning elections across the, this country, and I think I’m probably one of the few Democrats that’s willing to call it out, you know? And I, I watched that, that interview on your network where the co-chair of DSA— They saying, “Well, we gotta abolish the presidency, the Pentagon, the Senate, the presidency, and abolish the police and the border.” And, and now that wasn’t parody, this wasn’t Portlandia.”

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump LAMBASTED Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Bass for their handling of the Pacific Palisades fire Newsom and Bass should be CRIMINALLY investigated for this. "There's something wrong with these people, something REALLY wrong." "It's going to be YEARS before they are allowed to re-build their house, and Karen Bass is grossly incompetent. And Newsom... this is a VERY incompetent guy." "He didn't allow the water to come from the pacific northwest. They had TREMENDOUS amounts of water in California, people don't know. They send the water out to the Pacific Ocean. I demanded that to be opened. If you had that open before the fires, you wouldn't have had the fire because all the sprinklers would've worked in the houses. They had no water in the fire hydrants!"

iShowSpeed reveals he made $1,000,000 at 16 while most kids were in class "I didn't know what to do, I didn't want a car, a chain, clothes, I didn’t want all of that" "It’s kind of crazy when I think back on it, I was genuinely as a 16 year old kid, I’m locked in just working on my craft. I didn’t have the realization on the position that I was in" "Right now I’m still locked in, but looking back as a junior in high school and I have all this money, definitely not take it for granted"

Nicolas Batum says he’s never seen Kawhi Leonard play this well in their 6 years together. "I’ve been with him for six years. I joined the Clippers in 2020 and like I said, I’ve never seen him that good. I played against him when he was with the Spurs, I played against him in Toronto, and I’ve played with him for six years now, but he was already great. We all know the resume of Kawhi Leonard, but I think this year—I don't know why—he just is in total control. He’s in control of everything. It’s weird to say because he’s always been in control, but I don't really know what he changed. His routine has been the same, he’s just a maniac of working. He’s always in the gym, working before and after practice, before and after games. The way he plays right now is just unbelievable." (Via TheOldManAndTheThree )

California Wildfire Update: The devastation across the Palisades Fire, Eaton Fire, and Hurst Fire is immense. In the morning briefing, Fire managers confirmed at least two civilian fatalities and at least 1 firefighter injury. LA County Fire Chief said they simply do not have enough firefighters to battle the 4 active fires they currently have. LA mayor Karen Bass recently cut nearly $18M from department budgets just months ago. They are asking residents to conserve water as pressure in some fire hydrants has been failing. Reports of 1,000 plus structures destroyed across the fire area. This footage is from Pacific Palisades this morning. The total destruction is just starting to be accounted for. All fires are 0% contained and resources continue to arrive on scene from other counties. Fire weather continues through today. I released a podcast episode this morning that covers how southern California continues to have a massive wildland urban interface fuels problem, long ignored. 📷: Jonathan Vigliotti 🐋 🙏

25 years ago after engineering school I was involved in a residential construction project where speed was the focus. I did not know the scale or how widespread it would get. None of us did We were young. I have been out of it for over 10 years now with the deepest regrets of contributing to this process at a high level. I don't care if anyone sees this or even gets one like I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

Plus, the cheers in the background were incredible 🥹 The cheers A’TIN was sending them 😭 I was so moved 😭 I thought, “What amazing artists they must be to have fans cheering for them like this!” At the time, I never imagined I’d be cheering for them like that too, but now I’m cheering for them just the same 🥹 It’s just so amazing, isn’t it? 🥺 I’m just as grateful to A’TIN as I am to SB19 🫶🏻 Thank you all so much 🥹 I love you all!

back in the day this whole scene took around 10hr total of work for all involved. and at one point i added a “button” you could trigger. i had started working on a opening in the wall that would enter a vent maze. and soon realized. nevermind. this was already enough of a derailment to development. and didn’t bother working on it and just left this sequence as is on its own.

Jason Kidd spoke on why he’s the right fit for the Mavericks as a HC with multiple changes in the organization over the years. “Why do I think I’m the right guy? I’ve done this for a couple years now. I’ve been to the Finals, the WCF twice. Continuity was there. I’ve been around teams that have been sold; so I’ve seen everything. When I’ve come to work each day, I’ve never complained. I try to find a way to win, I love winning. Losing sucks, but it’s hard to win in this league. Just understanding and going through the process, I believe that I can help us get to the finish line and that’s to win a championship.”

Kim Goeun at #ThePriceOfConfession presscon, about how she joined the work. > Actually, I first saw the script around 4 or 5 years ago when they were still in the early stage of planning. So at that time, it wasn’t something final. Just a casual ‘Do you want to just take a look at it?’ so I read it briefly. After that, I got busy working on other projects. Then I heard Jeon Doyeon sunbaenim was going to do it and I received the script again. And reading it this time, it felt completely different from how it felt when I first read it years ago. It’s not like I’m worrying about it. I just focused on what the script looks like. Then I thought “Ah I can do this well. I can do it well no matter what”. That’s how I joined this work. I said to them “Please let me in. I can do it well”. <
