You fire up a Newport on the beach and it won’t be too fucking long until the trombone is out and bikini babes are descending upon your radius of flavor.

We have no hereditary memory of fascism.
In Britain you go to the Churchill War Rooms or bombed out areas of London.
In France you go to Normandy and in Poland you go to Auschwitz.
The scourge of Nazism is in the veins of those countries. It lives in their schools, their field trips, their national consciousness.
We had a Nazi movement here too, America First in the late 1930s.
Charles Lindbergh led it, there was even a Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden.
Franklin Roosevelt banded together with people who had strength and courage and put that movement down.
We don’t have that now. We have jellyfish.
Republican politicians put their personal power, their personal needs, their self-aggrandizement ahead of the American public.
The Constitution is still there and the institutions are still there.
But the people who are supposed to use them are hiding under their desks.

Make no mistake: By cutting intelligence sharing with Ukraine and buying Russian diesel, the United States is actively helping Russia wage its war against Ukraine and kill its people.
Shame on every Republican in Congress who knows better but is too cowardly to act.
BREAKING: Ukraine received no early warning from its partners before Russia launched ballistic missiles at civilian infrastructure in Kyiv last night, President Zelenskyy says.
This comes after reports over the weekend that the Trump administration considered cutting off intelligence sharing with Ukraine unless Kyiv stopped striking Russian oil refineries.
At least 2 people were killed and 9 injured in a Russian strike on a residential building in Kyiv.

Hola, soy palestino. 🇵🇸
Y como la honestidad es poco común en mi política, permítanme confesar algunas cosas.
1947. La ONU me ofreció un estado. Junto a Israel. Fronteras, independencia, reconocimiento. Dije que no. Mis líderes prometieron que la guerra "arrojaría a los judíos al mar". En cambio, lo perdí todo y lo llamaron catástrofe. No porque no me ofrecieran un estado, sino porque lo rechacé.
1948–2025. Los estados árabes podrían haberme integrado, dado derechos, pasaportes, dignidad. En cambio, me encerraron en campos de refugiados durante generaciones, para que siguiera siendo un arma contra Israel. Construyeron palacios para ellos y cárceles para mí. Me usaron como propaganda, no como personas.
1967. Tras otra guerra perdida, podría haber construido un estado en Cisjordania y Gaza. En cambio, insistí en "ni paz, ni reconocimiento, ni negociaciones". Tres noes. Cincuenta años después, sigo sin Estado. Resulta que el rechazo no paga el alquiler.
Oslo, década de 1990. Israel dijo: «Intentémoslo». Me dio autonomía. Armas para la policía. Miles de millones en ayuda. ¿Qué hicieron mis líderes? Robaron el dinero, armaron milicias y lanzaron una intifada. Atentados suicidas en lugar de escuelas. Cohetes en lugar de fábricas.
Gaza, 2005. Israel se fue por completo. Sin colonos, sin soldados. Tuve la oportunidad de convertir Gaza en un Singapur mediterráneo. Voté por Hamás. La convirtieron en Mogadiscio junto al mar. ¿Miles de millones en ayuda? Túneles, cohetes y palacios para sus líderes, mientras mi gente come comida enlatada en la oscuridad.
¿Democracia? No he tenido elecciones en casi 20 años. Hamás mata a los disidentes en Gaza. Fatah los encarcela en Cisjordania. Mis líderes cancelan elecciones porque están demasiado ocupados luchando por el poder.
Religión. En lugar de construir un futuro, pongo a clérigos en televisión enseñando a los niños a odiar a los judíos. Glorifico a los "mártires" que hacen estallar autobuses. Crío a mis hijos con canciones de sangre y fuego en lugar de libros y ciencia. Cambio la esperanza por la guerra santa.
Mundo árabe. Los regímenes árabes me llaman "hermano". Pero pregúntenles cuántos palestinos pueden vivir libremente en Líbano, Siria, Egipto o Kuwait. Me excluyen, pero celebran mi muerte, porque mi muerte es su excusa.
Absurdo. Sigo diciendo que quiero "construir un estado". E irónicamente, justo al lado está Israel: el vecino que construyó una democracia próspera, una potencia tecnológica, granjas en el desierto, ciudades de polvo. Sin petróleo, sin riqueza infinita, solo coraje. Podría haber aprendido, copiado, colaborado. En cambio, elegí la envidia y la rabia.
Obsesión antijudía. Podría haber aceptado a los judíos como vecinos. Podría haber dicho: "Dos naciones, dos estados". En cambio, repito: "Del río al mar". En lugar de exhibir el honor, la hospitalidad y la rica cultura árabe, mostré solo la cultura de la espada: la ira, el extremismo y la sangre. En lugar de gritar salaam (paz) a los israelíes, grité muerte a los judíos. Y luego finjo sorprenderme cuando los israelíes no confían en mí, cuando están enojados, decepcionados y convencidos de que no quiero coexistencia en absoluto.
Responsabilidad. Culpo a Israel de todo. Siempre. ¿Mis líderes roban miles de millones? Culpa de Israel. ¿Hamás dispara cohetes desde hospitales? Culpa de Israel. ¿Glorifico la muerte más que la vida? Culpa de Israel. La responsabilidad no es mi fuerte.
Soy palestino.
Podría haber construido una nación, muchas veces. Elegí el rechazo, la corrupción y la guerra sin fin. Podría haber vivido en paz con Israel, pero elegí vivir a la sombra de su destrucción.
Así que sí, soy una víctima. Pero con demasiada frecuencia, soy víctima de mis propios líderes, de mis propias decisiones y de mi propia negativa a abandonar el odio.
Y esa, querido lector, es la tragedia que nadie quiere admitir.

Hate to be the super nerdy entertainment guy, but if this film is based on the Miami Vice TV pilot as it is originally rumored to be the character of Tubbs was a New York City cop who came to Miami to investigate a murder and was reluctantly partnered with Crockett. And for a large part of the first two or three episodes of the TV series. He was a stubborn New Yorker who did not want to give in to the style and customs of South Florida. A leather coat in Miami is one thousand percent something a New Yorker would do while walking around Florida going, “our pizza is better. “😂😂

The whole Republican party screaming about Talarico being out with the flu for 9 days while they're wheeling Mitch McConnell to work in a vegetable state after his 3-month absence is just incredible

"In my opinion, the greatest game ever pitched was between the San Francisco Giants and Milwaukee Braves on July 2, 1963.
Forty-two-year-old Warren Spahn and 25-year-old Juan Marichal each went 16 innings and the game ended 1-0 on a home run by Willie Mays.
Each pitcher threw over 200 pitches.
Spahn threw 201 and Marichal 227.
There were seven future Hall of Fame players in that game, including Spahn and Marichal.
We will never see that again because the game won’t allow it.
But both guys were prepared to go as long as it took.
And this game was not a fluke, both pitchers won 20 games that season.
For Spahn, it was his 13th 20-win season and for Marichal, it was his first of 6.
My highest pitch count was 232 in a game against the Red Sox in 1974.
I pitched 12 innings, struck out 19, walked 10, and had a no decision.
My counter-part, Luis Tiant threw 180 pitches in 14 1/3 innings and took the loss 4-3.
We were on a 4-man rotation and pitched on 3 day’s rest.
I had 26 complete games in 1973 and 1974 and didn’t even lead the league.
Gaylord Perry had 29 in 1973 and Ferguson Jenkins had 29 in 1974."

ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES.
In May 2019, while I was Captain of LAPD Commercial Crimes Division, the Metal Theft Detail was disbanded under Chief Michel Moore— @michelmoore despite warnings from unit leadership about the consequences of eliminating this specialized investigative function.
The unit conducted recycling-center and pawn-shop inspections, investigated metal theft and fencing operations, and used specialized intelligence to identify stolen property and arrest suspects.
Today, Los Angeles is experiencing a dramatic escalation in copper and metal theft.
The warning was given. The unit was eliminated. The consequences are now being seen.
Leadership decisions matter—and actions have consequences.

Our Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles no longer lights up at night and it is covered with graffiti. Thieves repeatedly steal the copper wiring and have left the bridge in the dark. Patrol has been increased and graffiti removal requested.
Fixing the issues plaguing the Sixth Street Bridge in Los Angeles — including copper wire theft, street takeover, graffiti, lack of lighting, and the need for ongoing funding — will require a multi-layered, community-focused approach. #LAPD @YsabelJuradoLA @MayorOfLA

Where is the US condemnation of attacks on Ukrainian civilians by the terrorist Putin?
The United States strongly condemns the recent attacks on the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia by the terrorist Houthis, including today’s strike on King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh that took numerous innocent lives, including an American citizen.
These reprehensible attacks demonstrate a blatant disregard for innocent civilian life. They must stop now.
We stand with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its people and extend our condolences to the victims and their families.
