californians, consider calling your state assemblymembers in order to object to the current budget proposal stripping Medi-Cal (our Medicaid) from asylees and refugee applicants except in emergencies. also, they’re agreeing to reduce the asset limit for many Medi-Cal recipients back to $2000. That number means that the maximum amount a Medi-Cal recipient who is aged, blind, or disabled can have in the bank at any time is $2000. That figure is obscenely low, and it’s actually lower by about fifty bucks than the amount they’re allowed to get each month in income.* if enacted this policy change will vastly hurt thousands of seniors and disabled people and i’m not kidding. please speak up if you can.

crazy how clint eastwood by gorillaz is like, certainly amongst the top 100 songs of the noughties considering it is, on paper, a song by a fake cartoon band where del tha funkee homosapien raps about how he’s a ghost possessing the band’s fake cartoon drummer over a beat which is literally a yamaha keyboard’s dub preset

BOOSTERS GET BUSTED!

I'm still thinking about I Love Boosters, like where do I even start with how delightful it is?

I love the way unions are framed as love for your community, and how community is the moral of the story but also showing the dangers of the media preying on people who want that sense of community. I love the friendship between the two main leads and how their personalities realistically clash but how they love each other at the end of the day and are willing to go to hell and back for each other.

I love the examination on how everyone loses in the system, from the people making the clothes for dirt cheap in other countries to the shipment drivers who don't get jobs because the company would rather invest in scifi technology then pay and wait to the store employees who see a fraction of the overall cut to the creative visionaries whose work goes taken and uncredited because of a figurehead and even to the assistant who is putting up with it all for the chance at being a boss.

I see the blatant commentary with making the main antagonist a wealthy white woman and a minor antagonist a white gay man who uses "progressive" language to talk down to his employees of color (or the figurehead of the union eventually being a light skinned woman of color). I love this too, especially paired with the backstory made for the wealthy white woman with implications of her being an underage victim of a white man but still doing massive amounts of harm as soon as she is the one in power.

There is probably a lot more I could be talking about but I don't want to spoil too much for those who want to see the movie plus I know there are things which flew over my head.

It is just a sheer delight with a lot of heart and a really good script with so much blink and you miss it commentary. I hope to own it on DVD.

Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.
