Every actor in this trailer is AI.
Be honest: would you have known?

Hollywood called Netflix “cr-p.” Then it dismissed YouTube as UGC. Now it says AI video isn’t “good enough”
Watch the Kira trailer and remember this is the worst fully Gen AI content will ever be.

.@FareedZakaria says California is a "case study in failed governance."
He says Democrats have struggled to provide "public order" on a local level.
Far too often, he says, they've prioritized the rights of the homeless over the rights of home owners.
"The Democratic Party needs to think with it's head and not just with it's heart."
So...why do Democrats keep winning?
"What has happened with partisan alignment now is it's almost tribal."
What can be done to break the cycle?
Zakaria says San Francisco Mayor @DanielLurie is a "good example" of how to make government work more efficiently.
The moderate Democrat with a business background has focused on improving public safety and economic revitilization.
"You can tackle these in a way that's not inhumane but does solve the problem."

.@XavierBecerra says if you want a "real street taco" in California, you should buy it from a guy making it on the street and not a brick and mortar Mexican restaurant.
@SteveHiltonx says that's insulting to restaurant owners who play by the rules, pay taxes and comply with regulations.
"I can't believe Becerra is on the side of [street vendors] rather than small businesses trying to make it in this state with all the burdens that Democrat policies put upon them."

Street homelessness in LA rose 8%. This problem isn't unsolvable. It's mismanaged.
Another approach is possible, and the results in my council district prove it. Street homelessness is down 49% in CD4, and I will bring the same approach citywide as your next mayor.

THIS MORON IS THE CHAIR OF THE HOMELESSNESS COMMITTEE
By now you’ve probably seen the reports: despite hundreds of millions of dollars spent—and repeated assurances that Los Angeles had turned a corner—unsheltered homelessness increased by nearly 8% in this city. That is a moral outrage. And it is a failure of leadership.
Homelessness is not an unsolvable problem. It's a mismanaged one.
In my district, we are moving decisively in the opposite direction. While unsheltered homelessness rose citywide, the number of unsheltered people directly counted in my district fell by 49%. And that is because we took a different approach. We track every case, break through the barriers holding up placements, connect people with housing and care, and stay involved until they are housed.
As mayor, I will bring that approach—and those results—citywide.

Not only is Nithya Raman hated in her district for abysmal leadership, but she's THE reason drug zombies run rampant throughout LA. Raman spent the last 3 years as Chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee. Only question is...is she a failure, or is the chaos deliberate?

Left Washington D.C. yesterday: clean, spruced-up in full celebration of America 250.
Got to Downtown L.A. last night: litter, chaos, squalor. Everywhere the stench of urine and weed.
The people in charge of California should be ashamed.
I will CLEAN UP our beautiful state.

The great lie is that society is divided between rich and poor.
The great truth, as David Friedberg puts it, is makers vs takers.
Makers build, create, and deliver real value: houses, software, art, businesses, and everything that moves civilization forward.
Takers watch, criticize, analyze, and politic. They push the lie that the rich hoard unfairly so the poor must seize it… all while positioning themselves to rule the chaos.
As @friedberg tells his kids: “At the end of the day, if you made something and someone else valued it, you were a maker. That was an amazing achievement. That is a great day.”
Takers thrive on division. Makers drive progress.
Time to choose your side.

Every small business in California has to pay an $800 minimum tax just for existing—even if they’re barely making it or just getting started. It’s absurd.
We’re going to get rid of that $800 small business tax completely. Entrepreneurs and family businesses shouldn’t be punished for trying to create jobs and serve their communities.
Let’s make it easier to start and grow something here again. ☀️

The results from the 16 years of one-party rule in California are indefensible—highest cost-of-living, highest poverty rate, highest unemployment, highest gas prices, highest taxes, highest homelessness…
Xavier Becerra owns that record, he has to defend it.
I’m offering positive and practical solutions to all of those problems. Change is Coming to California. ☀️👊

The snail-like pace of the vote counting process in California is just another example of the incompetence and uselessness of the state government.
The choice for Californians in November will be clear—more of the same with Xavier Becerra or change for the better with me.
Change is coming to California. ☀️👊

Leftist cities that have been governed by failed ideologies and plagued with crime, homelessness, decay and administrative incompetence need to change course.
That won’t happen, though, if the only other option is a candidate more ideologically left and even less administratively competent.
Tom Ryan retweeted
It's hard to overstate how much of an outlier California is for its slow vote-counting relative to literally any other state or almost any other industrialized democracy.

If the Palisades Fire had started 12 hours earlier, in the middle of the night, the loss of life could have been catastrophic. Thousands of families were forced to make life-or-death decisions in a matter of minutes even in daylight. We drove out of the Palisades at 3pm without any obvious police presence, the sound of not a single firetruck or ambulance, nobody directing traffic. What if that had happened at 3am?
It raises difficult questions.
Would residents have been left banging on neighbors’ doors to wake them as flames raced through our communities?
And if the outcome had been measured not just in destroyed homes or 12 lives, but in thousands of lives lost, would our elected leaders, specifically Mayor Bass, still be asking voters for another term?
Because if this extraordinary gross negligence had happened 12 hours earlier… I can’t imagine the loss of life.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Padawer
