The way Tommy (our cat) looks at Ruby (our dog), who has co-opted Tommy’s cat-tree. Tommy allows this. It’s totally within Tommy’s domain to take the cat-tree at any time… but he doesn’t… because he loves Ruby. Whatever the cat version of love for a dog anyway. Animals rock.❤️ #cats #dogs #fyp

After 20 months LA Mayor Karen Bass is slowly admitting the City and State errors that decimated Pacific Palisades. Bass has no choice, really. The city and state attempted to shut down discovery. They failed. The discovery we already have is extraordinarily problematic. The city and state are grossly negligent bordering on criminal behavior. So, here we are. There’s an election in 2 months followed by a whirlwind of discovery, a trial and the largest jury settlement against a municipality for extreme negligence of all time. This will happen if the city and state don’t settle. Why do I want settlement? Because the longer we wait, the more this disproportionately impacts older people and those who can’t otherwise afford to return. We want everyone home. Now is the time to act, and giving up a little for expediency and my neighbors wellbeing is more than worth it. This video is wild. Starts with some level of accepting accountability but devolves into more misdirection. Without transparency, we are doomed to repeat this mess.

In 1965, a 19-year-old André René Roussimoff began training to become a professional wrestler in Paris. By day, he worked as a furniture mover to support himself. By night, he learned his craft in the ring. Even at that young age, André’s extraordinary size and presence made it clear that the wrestling world had never seen anyone quite like him. This incredible footage captures André before the fame, before WrestleMania and before the world knew him as the “Eighth Wonder of the World.” It is a rare glimpse at the very beginning of a journey that would transform a young man from France into André the Giant, one of the most recognizable and beloved figures in the history of professional wrestling. #wwe #prowrestling #wrestling #wrestlemania #fyp

Twenty-five years ago, America endured one of the darkest days in our history. We remember the innocent lives taken, the heroes who ran toward danger and the families who have carried unimaginable loss ever since. September 11 taught us that resilience is not the absence of pain. It is the strength to keep moving through it. Fortitude is standing when the weight feels unbearable. And rising does not mean forgetting what happened. It means carrying the memory forward with purpose, courage and love. Twenty-five years later, we still remember. We still honor. We still rise. Never forget. 🇺🇸 #september11 #worldtradecenter #newyorkcity #america #fyp

Newsom protecting giant corporations over their own victims. Not good.
Alex “Trey” Robertson, Esq.

The "consequences" Newsom refers to is the fact that SCE and PG&E collectively lost $20B yesterday in market value following a massive stock sell off when the Legislature rejected Newsom's proposal for a $6B cap on a utility's liability, elimination of insurers' right of subrogation against utilities, and limitations on fire victims' right to recover economic and non-economic damages. The “consequences” that fire victims have had to endure from the fires caused by these utilities is unspeakable. Over the past ten years, SCE & PG&E have caused the following devastating wildfires: Pacific Gas and Electric: Wildfire Deaths Structures Camp Fire85 ~18,804 Tubbs Fire22 5,643 Dixie Fire 1 1,329 Zogg Fire 4 204 Kincade Fire 0 374 Southern California Edison Wildfire Deaths Structures Eaton Fire 19 9,418 Woolsey Fire 3 1,643 Thomas Fire 2 1,063 To recap, PG&E has destroyed a total of 26,359 structures and killed 112 people. SCE has destroyed 12,124 structures and killed 24 people, plus an additional 22 persons who died in the Montecito debris flow as a result of the Thomas Fire. These utilities already benefit from Newsom's existing bailout with the California Wildfire Fund, which provides $21B to pay for wildfire damages and an additional $18B on top of that for post 2025 wildfires. And by law these utilities are guaranteed a 10% rate of return each year. You want to know the simplest and least costly solution to California's wildfire problem? Utilities need to stop causing these massively destructive and deadly fires! Every one of the fires listed above was determined by Cal Fire to have been caused by one of these two utilities. Yet despite causing so much devastation, these utilities continue to focus on paying dividends to their stockholders instead of upgrading their equipment and performing badly needed maintenance on their aging infrastructure. For example, SCE has paid quarterly dividends for the past 20 consecutive quarters without interruption between 2021-2026. Meanwhile, SCE’s CEO Pedro Pizarro enjoyed a 21.5% salary increase in 2022-2023 and a 19.5% increase in 2024-2025. The only way these utilities will embrace a systemic sea change in preventing wildfires is if economic pressure forces them to do so. Hopefully, Monday’s “consequences” are the catalyst for that change. @spencerpratt @ZavalaA @joelpollak @Hotshot_Movie @JeremyCom

BREAKING NEWS… Palisades fire victims - A meaningful step forward after almost 20 months of delays, deflection and misdirection. The City of Los Angeles and LADWP have agreed to enter mediation with attorneys representing thousands of Palisades fire victims, with the first settlement talks expected to begin in early October. A meaningful step forward for Palisades fire victims after almost 20 months of delays, deflection and misdirection. Let’s be clear… mediation does not guarantee a settlement. But after more than a year and a half of fighting, the City’s willingness to sit down and discuss a potential resolution is real progress. It creates a path toward accountability and fair compensation for families who lost their homes, possessions, businesses and sense of security. Now for the unacceptable part. The State of California has not stepped up to join them. The State is arguably the critical defendant in this case. Its agencies will have to address extraordinary gross negligence about what happened on state land between the January 1 Lachman Fire and the catastrophic unnatural disaster of January 7, 2025. Moreover, the state will almost certainly be the larger contributor towards their victims losses, and potentially as much as 20 TIMES the city’s share. Yet while the City and LADWP are preparing to come to the table, the State continues to stand on the sidelines. That is indefensible. Governor Newsom and the State of California should not force fire victims to spend years battling their own government for accountability. If the City can enter mediation, the State can, and should, do the same. Palisades families have waited long enough. Early October should mark the beginning of a genuine effort to resolve this tragedy of their own making. The State needs to stop hiding, step up and take its seat at the table. I will not stop advocating for the Pacific Palisades. We need more public-facing voices holding our City and State accountable every single day until every victim receives justice, every family is fairly compensated and our community is fully rebuilt. We’re one step closer today. Sincerely, Jeremy Padawer PacificPalisades.com @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto @Hotshot_Movie @BoredElonMusk @SteveHiltonx

Orangekloud bought VEVE? It’s an interesting transaction. Orangekloud’s market cap is under $6 million on NASDAQ. Not sure how to interpret their announcement… 600 million shares at a value of $1 / share when there are currently 6 million shares at $1 / share? Can someone explain what the $OMI is happening here? “Orangekloud Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:ORKT) announced Monday it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Orbis Technology Limited, the New Zealand-based operator of the VeVe digital collectibles platform, according to a press release statement. Under the Exchange Agreement, up to 3,967,705 Orbis capital shares will be exchanged for up to 600,000,000 ordinary shares of Orangekloud at a deemed value of $1.00 per share. Each Orbis ordinary share will be exchanged for 37.8048 Class A ordinary shares and 113.4144 Class B ordinary shares of the combined company.” I have a fairly good grasp on finance. Explain in 10th grade math terms. LOL.

According to sources. The Philadelphia 76’ers have listed LeBron James as 6’11” for the 2026 season. LeBron James, entering into his 24th season, grew 2 inches in the offseason… joining Wemby and Cooper Flagg with offseason growth spurts. LeBron was previously listed as 6’9” for the Los Angeles Lakers in 2025. #lebronjames #lakers #philly #lebron #fyp *sources may be my dog, cat or hamster.

I’ve been waiting a LONG time to say this… SQUISHMALLOWS IS HEADING TO THE BIG SCREEN!!! Amazon MGM Studios just announced a global, four-quadrant, multigenerational film built around the Squishmallows universe, in partnership with superstar producer Beau Flynn… the creative mind behind Moana, Jungle Cruise, Red Notice and the enormously anticipated, truly massive event Hello Kitty Movie (2028). What began in 2017 as a simple idea built around collecting wonderfully quirky, MOSTLY fun-loving, super plushy characters has grown into something beyond our wildest dreams… more than 600 million Squishmallows sold, over 3,000 original characters, and an extraordinary global community of collectors spanning every generation. Now, Cam, Malcolm, Wendy, Benny, Archie (and perhaps even Joelle the Bigfoot) are preparing for their biggest adventure yet. Our amazing, passionate Jazwares colleagues have poured so much heart, creativity, joy into building Squishmallows. This next chapter is possible because of you, your enthusiasm, your effort, your authenticity. And while the first 10 years have been great… The Squishmallows universe is about to get a whole lot bigger, the movie theater a whole lot plusher. LET’S GO!!! With gratitude, Jeremy Padawer on behalf of my talented teammates. Thank you to @AmazonMGMStudio @flynnpictureco @Jazwares @squishmallows team as well as the former team KELLYTOY for everything. ❤️ #movie #squishmallows #squishy #fyp #plushies

It’s now been 19 months since the Palisades Fire. We’re fighting for those who can’t fight. We’re going to win the lawsuit with one very specific goal in mind… compensate victims, especially those who can’t otherwise come home ever. Leadership must… 1) Acknowledge damage done and mistakes made. 2) Prepare a better plan for the future with dedicated police, more firefighters, an emergency plan, cleared brush, available water, buried lines and true localized governance. 3) Establish mitigation in tax. No sales tax locally or statewide on the rebuild. No ULA tax on land and homes leadership victimized. 4) Settle the lawsuit. That’s accountability. That changes the dynamic of perhaps as many as 50% of lots sold to a far smaller number. It gets older people home for their last decade, Normalcy. Short of this, those that victimized us, misdirected us continue to harm us. Yes, there’s rebuilding happening after 19 months. No, it’s not impressive. 1200 of 7000 lots have permits. Between 15-20% after 19 months. That’s a bad look. Don’t use the alphabet streets and Potrero Canyon as an indicator. It’s a false read. And if my math is wrong, it’s not far off. Wishing you truth, normalcy, happiness in the years ahead. Sincerely, Jeremy Padawer Pacificpalisades.com @spencerpratt @415FirePhoto @BoredElonMusk @Hotshot_Movie

I invested in 15 seed / A round companies during Covid. 12 failed. 1 is @Whatnot I sought them out. Nobody had a better live-selling platform. This week they announced latest round - $20 billion! 80% fail rate for me. All it takes is one! Perfection is overrated.

When your leadership is so focused on limiting legal exposure that it won’t honestly confront what went wrong, the next disaster isn’t just possible… it’s more likely. Accountability isn’t about blame. It’s about making sure history doesn’t repeat itself. That’s the plight of the Pacific Palisades and the burn area in general. Reservoirs still empty, no brush clearance plan, no honest review of the fire that burned for 7 days on state ground, no emergency response program to help constituents rebuild with purpose, no taxpayer friendly initiatives waving or limiting $5 BILLION in sales tax on the rebuild, a still empty reservoir, a purposefully manipulated post fire report (by Mayor), and only 15-20% of homes under construction after 19 months. Not a pretty picture. And while there has been so much pain endured by the victimized group, the greatest insult perhaps is the lack of learning and accountability. It will happen again to another city in California. It shouldn’t. Yes, wildfires occur. This fire burned for at least 7 days, and could have been greatly mitigated with modest effort, planning, observation, technology. And probably nipped at the bud. I won’t let our leadership forget the roughly 50% of constituents who can’t afford to build back. 1) Settle the lawsuit. 2) Acknowledge mistakes made. 3) Establish policies that will help other cities limit future damages.

Making Pokémon predictions in 2020. 1996 Japanese base set and no rarity symbol “first edition” set. It was such a fun era to collect. Pokémon was obvious to me watching values creep up for years and identifying the consumer was aging older. Today, I see this in 1) graded rare toys, 2) graded manga, 3) graded music, 4) graded scripts, 5) original art from critical IP’s and the 6) Harry Potter franchise ahead of the new content. Pokémon continues to thrive. #pokemon #pokemongo #pokemonart #pokémon #fyp

Thankful to be an American where we have the freedom to disagree. The freedom to disagree, to practice differing philosophies, is critical to democracy. When there’s only 1 idea... it almost always belongs to the state. I might not agree with you, but thankfully we can disagree. 🇺🇸 July 4th

SB79, allowing up to 9 story apartments on single family lots, is NOW in effect for all of California. This overrides local zoning rules. I looked at whether Pacific Palisades is impacted because of the fire risk. I believe the answer is NO. 1) You must be within 1/2 mile of a stop served by very frequent bus service meeting the state’s “major transit stop” definition. After recent changes in state law, that generally means buses arriving every 20 minutes or less during peak commute periods, often with multiple qualifying routes intersecting at the same location. A typical LA Metro Local bus stop that sees one route every 30–60 minutes would not qualify. 2) You must NOT live in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. So effectively 0% of Pacific Palisades are both within 1/2 mile of a qualifying SB79 stop AND outside the VHFHSZ. With that said, WATCH for local and state politicians to lobby for more of these bus stops. Especially around sunset or PCH. Just a hunch. And keep your eye on your local area. More housing is NOT a bad thing, but 9 stories on a single family lot is breathtakingly a lot.
