CHICAGO! I'll be taping my new stand up special on April 18th at The Den Theatre!

Another very big jump for Nithya Raman in today's drop where she took 40% of the vote.

She's now just a hair over 1 pt behind Spencer Pratt & on track to overtake him tomorrow assuming a similar size drop.

Bass: +19,312 (32.98%)
Pratt: +10,336 (17.65%)
Raman: +23,514 (40.16%)

“All of those real connections that you have with real people in your lives - like the person you are in your web of human society - you have a lot of leverage there, and so don't let these companies that would love you to believe that posting is all there is convince you that posting is all there is in life.” @adamconover

What's funny is that the Pratt election rigging conspiracies don't take into account that Bass WANTS to face Pratt in the run off. She ran ads supporting him because she does worse in the general against another Dem. The only way Bass wins re-elect is versus Pratt.

"It will be a disaster. It will be the death of Hollywood."

The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger will almost certainly lead to fewer productions, mass layoffs, and more. @adamconover explains⬇️

[Zachary Donnini @ZacharyDonnini]

Raman is hitting her benchmark to overtake Pratt.

At this point, it is fair to say she is favored, though outstanding turnout remains uncertain and the race is still tracking toward a very close finish.

[Unrig LA @UnrigLA]

I know some of y’all don’t go here but sad to see so many local reporters act like this is their first rodeo.

[Unrig LA @UnrigLA]

Finally an update in the direction Pratt would like, but still not the kind of distance he needs to be creating to sleep comfortably the rest of the week.

Bass: 5,458
Pratt: 7,153
Raman: 4,823

Spent a lot of time discussing AI fiction & non-fiction at lunch at the Hay festival today -- my predictions are (1) openly AI-authored fiction will gain only a niche audience, not unlike "enhanced Olympics," due to stigma/low costs of copying (2) AI fiction will become strongly stigmatized over next year (if not already) with stronger "human authored" certifications becoming more common (3) the line between AI-authored and AI-"edited" or "assisted" really needs to be figured out.

Nithya has a proven track record of helping renters in Los Angeles, and she'll continue to help out as mayor! Vote for @nithya4thecity on Tuesday, June 2nd for mayor of Los Angeles.

Went to Hollywood & Highland today and it was so depressing. Spider-man and Charlie Chaplin were taking pics for money. These guys are legends and even they can barely afford to live in LA.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

@writeinfreedom @nithyavraman none but i'm having a lot of fun wasting your time

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

The Daily Mail published an article about me but all it did was prove my point. Vote for @nithyavraman on June 2nd for mayor of Los Angeles.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

I just can't get enough of the @DailyMail having a meltdown over my Instagram reel. One of the best days of my life. "Unlikeable woke comedian"!!!! I love it

[Julia Wick @sherlyholmes]

A lot going on on this West Adams apartment building

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Send Spencer Pratt packing. Vote for @nithyavraman for Mayor of Los Angeles.

Adam McKay says "no group is worse" for America and its politics than "white liberals":

“We are being hit with the high-grade marketing and no group is worse than white liberals. I mean, they are the worst. I’ve tried to talk to them about climate, they are so smug and captured. And it boils down to privilege. I mean, when you talk to white moneyed liberals, they’re getting a lot from this broken system.”

🚨 UPDATE: We asked Spencer if he has ever lived in the trailer, and he said no, adding, "I have never told anyone I lived there." However, in the campaign ad, he says squarely, "This is where I live" as he stood in front of the trailer.

[Adam Conover @adamconover]

Why is Karen Bass boosting the campaign of a MAGA right-winger for Mayor of LA?
