The couples with matching weight vests hiking on Runyon Canyon scare me

Hey you know when it’s great when someone gets their flowers, this is that. Before the podfathers there was a podmother. Also Jackie is aces and you should read this.

a strange and apocalyptic feeling in the air today.

You are not prepared for this

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

The couples with matching weight vests hiking on Runyon Canyon scare me

what if while trump is courtside victor wembanyama just leans down and eats his whole head. gulps the whole thing down tootsie pop owl style. and then explains that’s why he was sent here, blinks his eyes sideways and flies out of MSG and away into the night sky

if the people who say "just listen to your body" had to listen to mine for 15 minutes they would lose their goddamned minds

Two days in a row now, military helicopters flying low over Los Angeles with no ADS-B transponders, they’re not showing up on Flight Radar 24 app at all. Have to say I don’t love it.

“White Knuckles” by OK Go is an absolutely perfect Prince song. No further questions at this time.

Get off Substack, Substack is a bad company and if you are generating content on their platform, you are helping them say look, we're not that bad, when they are in fact that bad.

I’m incredibly proud to support The American Prospect. I guarantee anything important you read today about politics, technology, or finance, The American Prospect had it three months ago. They’re worth your money, and even more dear, they’re worth your limited and valuable attention.

He’s talking himself into using nuclear weapons.

I’m at Runyon Canyon above the Oscars and there’s a light plane towing a banner flying over everything, not only is he getting very close to the blimp and the two helicopters, but isn’t that restricted airspace how is he allowed to even be there?

I am hopeful that the fall described in this beautiful screaming monster of a thing is finally starting to happen. lithub.com/rebecca-soln...

The fences are down on the West Ridge Trail at Runyon! Yay! The little Survivor tree is doing well! The trail from Wattles Garden Park to the south peak of West Ridge is still closed but I’m not sure how much a laminated piece of paper is going to keep people off of it.

Today’s weird graphical NYT Connections has shown me I am too Internet because I thought at least one of them would be loss.jpg. Connections Puzzle #972 🟩🟩🟩🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟪 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

I used to love computer it was my friend. Now I have hate in my heart

Don’t threaten me with a good time?

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

This is quite possibly perfect.

Gavin Newsom has never had a homeless, a working unhoused, or an affordable housing advocate on his podcast despite governing California. So yeah I think it’s weird that he’s entertained & platformed multiple fascists while grinning, nodding & relenting to their easily defeatable talking points.

“The bytes were fully overwritten.” So funny

Perhaps thinking that it is a shame that I cannot somehow both sleep and look at my phone at the same time is a sign of a deeper problem.

I heard the flat buzz of 2-stroke engines farting their way down Mulholland and I assumed it was a bunch of kids on dirt bikes doing a street takeover, but no, it was nerds on vintage Vespa scooters, all of them glinting in the sun with their cream enamel paint jobs and tasteful accessories.

I quit the Alexa Plus early access program and put it back to the way it was. I felt a little like Big Chief smothering Randall P. McMurphy, but it had to be done. It was telling me the wrong dates for events, screwing up home automation stuff, just not reliable.

I’m not sure what it says about me that the thing Facebook ads is pushing me the hardest I can recall in years (harder than the fancy office chairs and CPAPs!) is a Slavoj Žižek lecture in Los Angeles, but here we are.

Hey @wychstreet.bsky.social I’m at the Hollywood Bowl and your boy Jarvis is making it happen.

I swear to God this just happened, young man is walking up the fire road at Runyon next to me and he sees a sign that says “Fire Road” and he says “Fire road? What’s so fire about it? His companion says “ fire like fire engines.” And then the young man goes “Oh.” By the way I am now 200 years old.

The more I think about it, the more I live, I find the true dividing line between good and evil is power. What do you do with it when you have it? Who do you help? Who do you hurt? Nothing else really matters.

The fact that I got the blue category in today’s Connections first is perhaps the strongest statement of LGBTQ+ allyship I have ever made. Connections Puzzle #814 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟪🟪🟪🟪

Sounds like ICE killed a guy and then held american citizens hostage at gunpoint until they agreed to destroy the evidence

If Centrist Democrats had worked as hard to defeat Trump as they’re working to defeat Zohran Mamdani we wouldn’t be in this mess. Jesus Christ this guy wins elections, maybe let him do it.

Hey LA why do we do this to ourselves every year? It really is awful. The city becomes unlivable the night of the Fourth of July, and the air becomes poisonous the day after.

Pretty special tonight.

Los Angeles Bluesky users, tonight is an excellent chance to see the space station before Elon plunges it into the ocean. Rises in SW at 8:52 PM, and crosses the sky very fast until it sets around 9:01 in NE. Magnitude -3.6, so brighter than anything but Venus and the moon. #science #iss

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

I have to say that walking through Runyon Canyon with a bag of dog treats is about the closest I will ever come to feeling like Frank Sinatra peeling off hundreds to every maitre’d in Vegas. I command a kind of respectful attention from both the dogs and ravens that I find I enjoy.

Just watched a private security company‘s CyberTruck (painted up like some combination of a Stealth fighter and the Thin Blue Line itself) execute an extraordinarily painful 11 point turn on a narrow hillside road, and it was exactly as ridiculous as you’re thinking.

Taking this moment to resurface the greatest piece of journalism ever written, which was about Pacific Palisades. @maxtaves.bsky.social on The Rat House of the Alphabet Streets. www.laweekly.com/palisades-ra...

BITBOY ALERT: The fires here in Los Angeles have me going over cloud backup strategies intensely. I have learned that @backblaze.bsky.social no longer backs up locally available files in OneDrive - a change they did not communicate to users. This renders it useless for true cloud backup & archiving.

It's Saturday night, so I'm watching USCSB videos and sobbing at all the preventable tragedy. Sheldon Smith, you narrate the nightmares of incompetence that haunt me. www.youtube.com/@USCSB

Just saw a Maybach and a Cybertruck almost have a head-on collision on a narrow street because neither of them would give way and I don’t know who to root for except for the end of civilization as we know it.
