I worked for Frank Gehry. Because of him, I went to The Simpsons Halloween party, had a key to the Disney Concert Hall, met amazing artists. Frank was wonderful to me. When I left his office, he said you'll do big things, just try to stay out of politics. Sorry, Frank. Your memory is a blessing ❤️

Billionaires have been spending vast amounts of money to keep rigging tax policy so that the rest of us have to pay to support them.
Meanwhile, I'm reading my community's angel tree list where 12 year old children are asking for "a warm blanket" as their whole holiday wish list.

I don't care what the LA Times said. The LA Times is not your mother, I am, and I said you absolutely do NOT have permission to give terrible people your time or money.

Review: Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

Ds don't seem to be getting what they need out of Nashville. But if the margin lands at R+3, that's a D+19 shift from 2024 -- we're not talking a wave, we're talking tsunami

the sun and earth's atmosphere control the creation and existence of all life on the planet so I think they should also control the vibe. what I'm saying is everyone should get to stay home under blankets when it snows, scientific forces have deemed today "cozy."

If you find an insult but you’re not sure who it belongs to, just lay it down. The owner will always come back for it.

a guy friend asked for advice on how to hit on a woman; obviously I told him leave her alone. but since he kept pressing, I suggested he try to make her laugh. unfortunately this is nearly impossible to pull off, given that men have no sense of humor.
