Because Chevron is one of Becerra’s biggest donors! He is the type of politician that make people lose faith in government. He must not become our Governor.

Politico: Xavier Becerra won’t commit to California’s 2035 gas car sales ban

His position represents a significant departure from Newsom on one of the state’s most ambitious climate policies.

@RaminNasibov Remarkably Bright Creatures - but it’ll be tears of joy. 🥲

If you still think Spencer Pratt has no chance of winning, you need to get your head out of the sand.

If he gets into the general election with Karen Bass, he WILL win. Bass has a ceiling on her support. The only person who can beat Pratt in the runoff is Nithya Raman. Go vote!

If you told me two of my favorite films of the year would be about talking, crime solving sheep and an octopus with a heart of gold trying to heal two lost souls, I would’ve laughed in your face and told you that you were crazy, but these are wild times we live in. Do yourself a favor and check out The Sheep Detectives and Remarkably Bright Creatures!

I’m not sure what they put in REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES, but I literally can’t stop thinking about it, and all I want to do is watch it every single day 🐙

The way this content creator articulates the messsage of Remarkably Bright Creatures is so beautiful. 🥹

Sally Field says heartfelt stories like ‘Remarkably Bright Creatures’ are hard to find, and the Netflix drama proves exactly why audiences are connecting with it. The two-time Oscar winner stars opposite one very intelligent octopus in one of streaming’s most emotional new films.

@DefiDisciple @StephenKing Agreed. Reminds me of @StephenKing’s emotional, life-affirming dramas like The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile.

The other day, my mother asked me if I'm excited for the upcoming film about Sally Field making friends with an octopus who speaks in the voice of Alfred Molina. When I asked if she was having a stroke, she explained it's based on a very popular book. There are so many Americas

[Jiao Chen @JChenTweets]

A little tease of a special film I’ve been working on. This life-affirming movie is like a warm hug that we all need right now.

Meet Marcellus the octopus! 🐙

Screenwriters, please don’t celebrate the shut down of productions as a result of this labor action. Most below the line crew members earn less than the average screenwriter and were counting on those paychecks. #WGAstrike

[Jiao Chen @JChenTweets]

One thing not being discussed enough in this debate is the fundamental creative shift in what a TV show is now. Many of these short season shows like “White Lotus” are essentially long movies, written by just one person.
