Last night, the US military invaded a quiet residential neighborhood in Pasadena for a “training exercise” that went until 1AM. Mayor Victor Gordo didn’t inform residents until right before and supposedly the military didn’t tell the city until yesterday
at most growin up we were jus considered havin a slower lifestyle than ppl in tha city but it was still wild like a city jus car dependent idk man yall havent been out your bubble ig
i grew up in what would be considered tha suburbs n it was pretty diverse n my gramma neighbor yard look crazy rn n nobody botherin them jus sayin
i understand where yall may get this idea from but its not a solid general statement
There’s never been anything attractive about the suburbs for me because I don’t have an obsession with mowing the lawn and I’m not afraid of people and diversity. If I want to escape, I’ll go rent a place in the French countryside for a month or two.

like most skateboarders my age I was absolutely obsessed with Marc Johnson in my formative years. His part in Yeah Right was my first introduction to him and I was so enthralled by this weird guy with a bic'd head, insane technical ability and the style to back it up.
As I write this, the reality still hasn’t fully set in. It was less than a month ago that Marc came to San Jose to hang out. He was sober, healthy, and full of life. We had a blast reminiscing about the old days. He seemed genuinely excited about the future. He even extended his ticket by a couple of days so he could explore some of the old haunts around San Jose.
When it came time to drop him off at the airport, he handed me an envelope. I waited until I got home to open it. Inside was a three-page list of his hopes and dreams for the future. Never in a million years did I imagine that less than a month later, he would be gone.
I met Marc when he was 17. I watched him achieve all his skateboard dreams, and I sat next to him at the Away Days premiere—only to later watch his career fall apart. I still don’t understand why my friend is gone at 49 years old. I don’t know why he chose to come visit me. Was there some bigger purpose to it, or was he looking for closure?
Marc was a genius and a tortured soul. He told me he wanted to be remembered for his skateboarding, not for his failures or shortcomings. He was just a poor kid from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who grew up in a trailer at the end of a dirt road. Yet he made it out, traveled the world, and touched so many lives. He will live on through the video parts that nobody can recreate. He gave opportunities to people who might never have had a chance otherwise.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Marc Johnson was the single most influential person in my life. Everything he did was art. He was endlessly creative and always tried to elevate his friends and everyone around him. He opened doors for guys like me and Jerry, and single-handedly put San Jose back on the map. Marc had the golden touch—whether it was on a skateboard, creating brands, or developing ad campaigns.
Marc Johnson passed away today. He was one of the most talented and creative people to ever step on or off a skateboard.

US media keeps using the phrase “heightened tensions with Cuba” to describe what is in reality unilateral US aggression, with illegal sanctions and threats of illegal invasion, against innocent people who repeatedly say they just want to be left alone.
Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.
College is expensive because every millenial INSISTED they get to go. The boomers spent a ton so they could go. This was not the case in the boomers day. They understood natural hierarchy and sorted themselves appropriately. Their big sin was liking their children too much.

simple n plain
youre obviously not stupid but youre clearly lost and refuse to see the bigger picture ppl are laying before you
its not ok but what can anyone do? youre a grown ass adult
The FCC wants to require ID verification for every phone activation in America, including prepaid phones.
Those are the phones journalists, abuse survivors, and whistleblowers depend on to stay anonymous. The excuse is robocalls.
The result is a national identity check on one of the last semi-anonymous communication tools we have.
