Homophobic protesters outside a North Hollywood elementary school attacked counter protesters. The fight seems like it broke up pretty quickly, though. (LA Times link)

I guess it was only a matter of time before we reached the street fighting stage of Christian fascism, but I'm a little surprised to first hear about it happening so close to home.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

a drag show at a bar in placerville that'd been going on for a year got shut down by the bar after fash lied about it being all-ages and packed a city council meeting about it. this poo poo is everywhere

Sacramento city council had Proud Boys and other Nazis show up a couple weeks ago. Got the whole meeting shut down and emptied out before it eventually reconvened with Zoom comments only because the fash were screaming about Jews and groomers and homeless people and poo poo. They're getting bolder and bolder.

"Cuitlacoche" redirects here. For the genus of birds otherwise known as "Cuitlacoche", see Toxostoma.

Corn smut is a plant disease caused by the pathogenic fungus Ustilago maydis that causes smut on maize and teosinte. The fungus forms galls on all above-ground parts of corn species. It is edible, and is known in Mexico as the delicacy huitlacoche;[4] which is eaten, usually as a filling, in quesadillas and other tortilla-based foods, and in soups.

Maybe it's just my personal experience, but I encountered more racism living in SoCal than in the Bay area.

Sometimes open racism like my high school classmates saying "black people are ugly". My dad's then gf was interesting. Overall ok person, but when George Zimmerman was let go she said "oh thank God". I remember her cop friend bragging about how she had helped beat up a homeless dude. And then my stepmom's German mom told me once "your computer is your spear" because I carried it around everywhere. Ngl I might have internalized some of it.

Don't get started on how every other town was once a whites-only sundown town.

as an asian american that grew up in orange county, I don’t feel like I have seriously encountered much racism. It might have been more subtle when I was younger and I admit that I went to primary schools and college that had a significant number of asians

orange county’s “south county”, which is a bit nebulously defined but is generally anywhere south of Irvine, still has somewhat recent news stories about open racism. especially ladera ranch, but laguna hills has hit the headlines as well, and there was also that shooting in laguna woods

I would probably venture to say that racism probably varies neighborhood by neighborhood and city by city.

This is the same as when Florida took a bunch of migrants, processed them, promised them jobs and then flew them to Marthas Vinyard.
Also when they transported a bunch by bus from Texas and dropped them off in front of Kamalas house at Xmas (I think).
The problem being that people are being promised jobs and being used to get back at democrats in a lovely, snarky way.
And really just being abandoned.

I know a guy who's family was run out of Orange County by the Klan in 80's.

Outskirts of San Diego are incredibly racist. Especially Santee.

I was more referring to the sheer density of incredibly jacked gay men in Weho. If they try and picket Hamburger Mary's, I imagine you'll see some poo poo.

at a guess, there's probably enough of a critical mass of asian americans in orange county that it's harder on an individual level to otherize them than it is with other groups less represented in ones' school or workplace

I grew up as a poor white kid in OC with lots of friends all across the income spectrum (OC is weird that way), so I got to see the unvarnished opinions of my other white friends' white parents, and I saw a lot of confoundingly racist attitudes and behaviors throughout. Less so towards Asians at the time, I think, but pretty massive inclinations toward it when it came to people of Mexican descent, a smaller but still noteworthy amount towards black people, and a surprising amount towards Jewish people?

From what I can tell, anti-Asian sentiment has gradually increased, especially in Irvine, where white boomers are getting resentful about the demographic change of the city since the 70s, and of course things also got real bad basically overnight for anyone who seemed remotely Middle Eastern after 9/11. OC was BIG TIME Bush territory.

gently caress Orange County. That place is the Texas of California; a cesspit of reactionary small business tyrants, genocidal Karens, and their entitled piece of poo poo offspring. I moved out at my literal first opportunity and never looked back.

He devised a fringe legal theory to try to keep Trump in power. Now he’s on the verge of being disbarred.

"John Eastman, an architect of Donald Trump’s last-ditch bid to subvert the 2020 election on Jan. 6, is about to go on trial — but not in a criminal court.

Rather, the attorney is fighting to save his California bar license from authorities who say he repeatedly breached professional ethics — and possibly the law — in his bid to keep a defeated Trump in power. And those proceedings, while not as prominent as the Jan. 6 select committee or as potentially punitive as a criminal prosecution, are slated to elicit some of the most revealing and comprehensive testimony from figures who aided Trump’s effort to derail the transfer of power."

I dunno. I grew up in Northern California and bumped into anti-Asian sentiment more than once. It's maybe not as strong as it is for other racial groups and is laced through with model minority stereotypes, but it's definitely there.

Anecdotal, but about twenty years ago, my mother and I went to visit one of my aunts in the South Bay who was comfortably affluent. During one of our dinners, she mentioned that her son was dating an Asian woman at the college he attended because "that's all they have out there."
