i have produced every kind of content or every kind of company making content for over 30 years. i've also chased a few ambulances.
Tory offer to young people:
1. We’ll take away your smartphones;
2. Compulsory maths exams until 18; and
3. “Compulsory voluntary” service thereafter.
They just need:
4. You’re not going out looking like that; and
5. Don’t use that tone of voice with me. #UKPolitics
Tomorrow at 11am, U.C Berkeley students and residents will be taking over Telegraph Avenue to demand that three blocks from Bancroft to Haste be immediately made car-free. I pulled data from the Berkeley police department and U.S. Census and found that in the neighborhood surrounding Telegraph:
• 71% of households do not own a car
• 77% of residents walk, bike or take public transit to work
• 72% of residents are people of color
• 96% of residents are under age 34
In 2023 the neighborhood saw 35 vehicle crashes which is a crash approximately every 10 days.
It is beyond inequitable to continue to allow dangerous, polluting vehicle traffic on this historic street which should be a safe, healthy space for people to shop and congregate.
My latest op-ed for Berkeleyside shows that banning cars from Telegraph will not only make the street more equitable and accessible but will improve public safety and provide an economic boost to local businesses.

RIP #navalny you were 1000000 times the human putin could ever wish to be.
Will be live in 10 minutes to react to the FT documentary about Sam Bankman-Fried https://youtube.com/live/-B43ZNhn7SU
@Defiance this and paul's boutique are my two favorite hip hop albums of all time, two sides of the same coin. RIP
@davidgerard imagine carrying 4 million in cash with you to a meeting with some people you don't really know in rome. you GIVE THEM YOUR BRIEFCASE WITH THE MONEY and they go to the bathroom, never to return.
you are the sucker at the table. you. no one else. just you.
these idiots are so idiotic. they deserve to be fleeced.

People who are constantly suggesting the past was significantly better — be it the 1700s-1800s or the 1950s — should just exit society and live those lives.
It will be terrible and short, but at least the rest of us won’t have to see your takes about how awesome life used to be.

yo @CasPiancey@twitter.com in my brief moment working for the Gore Vidal, I helped him prepare a speech about his historical novels in LA. At the speech in the Q&A he was asked what era he would want to live in, and he responded, not missing a beat:
"any time after they invented anesthesia"
that the cops used fists and feet instead of just shooting someone may make this FEEL different, but
this
is
happening
every
goddamn
day
over one thousand people killed last year in the US by cops.
really sad about #RIPTomVerlaine
there are so many brilliant songs, but let's keep it obvious, and say that mapplethorpe's photo also had a profound influence somehow too.

When I was just out of college in 1991,my friend carty was making his debut movie love and a 45. He somehow got Tom to score the movie. I got to sit in an apartment across the street from cbgb's and watch tom write on his guitar . A once in a lifetime moment.

tom verlaine didn't invent punk music, but he perfected it. he, more than anyone, took lou reed's mantle: he was funny, a poet, and had an insanely weird voice. his old schoolmate richard hell was the aesthetic and attitude of punk, but tom was the brains and the storyteller. RIP

The silence from the phony Harper’s Letter people, the New York Times and Atlantic Magazine reveal that they’re just a bunch of fucking hypocrites who want college kids, black activists, and trans people to get off their lawn. They never gave a shit about free speech. https://twitter.com/patrickluck/status/1618213205733670912

the dishonesty of @jonathanchait@twitter.com and @bariweiss@twitter.com and @jessesingal@twitter.com and every other of these anti-woke race hustlers is so risibly obvious as they have watched desantis create a fascist thought police right under their collective noses. hope the boot tastes good you fakers.
