Three years ago @junpierre and I set out to make a graphic novel that was weird and funny and featured people who just happened to look like us. As of today, it’s out! Chapter 1 is available now at geniusanimals.net. New chapters will be released every Tuesday.

It's official: The Beatles' first album, PLEASE PLEASE ME, was released closer to the 1800s than to the present day. Dec 31, 1899 to March 22, 1963 = 23,091 days March 22, 1963 to June 11, 2026 = 23,092 days

I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles. To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Now our fight for a healthier, safer, more affordable, and more joyful Los Angeles continues. For too long, City Hall has prioritized giving political advantage to powerful interests that fund elections. Meanwhile, working people pay the price in higher rents, depleted services, and a city that has stopped working for them. If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.

With @nithyavraman in line to make the mayoral runoff in Los Angeles, take a look at how she and NYC Mayor @ZohranKMamdani are attempting to end the left's civil war over housing — the most important affordability issue in both cities. politico.com/news/2026/03/07…

RAND just dropped the most comprehensive study yet of Measure ULA. High-value transactions 31%🔽. Apartment production 30%🔽. Buildings that sold passed the tax through to tenants as higher rents. ~$452M in lost revenue to city, county & schools. ~16,000 construction jobs lost.

Los Angeles deserves a mayor that doesn't drag their feet. Karen Bass promised change. Instead, Angelenos got delays. It took years to appoint a film liaison. Our animal shelters went years without stable leadership. Whenever our city needs urgency, City Hall moves too slowly. These aren't just bureaucratic delays. They have real consequences for the people who live and work here. LA needs a mayor that acts with urgency, builds a strong team, and gets things done. That's the kind of leadership I will bring to City Hall.

Hollywood is key to LA’s economic vitality.  Under Mayor Bass’s leadership, film production has collapsed in LA. Over 40,000 jobs have been lost. And things are about to get a lot worse unless the Warner Brothers/Paramount merger is stopped.

For a “commie socialist” candidate, @nithyavraman sure has a pro-business list of policy proposals that are focused on making government more efficient and less burdensome. Nithya Raman for mayor of LA
Nithya's small business policy had dropped. Highlights include: - Comprehensive permitting & inspection reform - Rapid response for maintenance, infrastructure, sanitation and homeless outreach in commercial corridors - Tenant improvement grants & a "vacant to vibrant" program to fill vacant storefronts (modeled after SF) - Stoping predatory ADA lawsuits - Working with the state to reform worker's comp insurance

Karen Bass and the Democratic party are playing a very dangerous game with LA by elevating this guy
