Apropos of nothing and certainly unrelated to this news article, we are chanting “May the power of threes set us free!” repeatedly in our home this morning.

US Senator Lindsey Graham passes away at 71 reut.rs/4yizar4

Happy anniversary of that time the post office asked me to provide evidence that my package was not delivered.

parents' phones make notification sounds I've never heard in my life

Today was a great warm-up day to the weekend. I need two more days to really hit my stride.

Bro what about the 75 billion-with-a-b dollars Congress gave you last summer

Rode horses today on a trail in a park on a mountain under the HOLLYWOOD sign right smack dab in the middle of Los Angeles. I just can’t get over how much I’ve fallen for this city.

Wow. I have so many reactions and emotions seeing this. (Not favorable or positive.)

the Douglass Commonwealth is not without natural defenses

There is something very special and delicious in the vanilla cold brew from Tectonic on Fairfax. Such a treat. #WestHollywood #LosAngeles #CoffeeTalk

Loving these screenings at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures (@academymuseum.bsky.social)! Last night’s was Hitchcock’s “I Confess,” shown in 35mm. I’d actually never seen it before - loved it. (And, ya know, Guillermo del Toro(!) talking to us beforehand about the film was pretty rad, too.)

Today is a good day to remember that authoritarianism is not inevitable, overthrowing fascists is possible, and good things can still happen. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

I think about gay men during the AIDS crisis, in the face of what often seemed like utter hopelessness, using everything in the arsenal--rage, resolve, defiance, humor, sexual energy, imagination, and art--to prevent despair from ruling the day. Even Larry Kramer didn't simply say, "We're doomed."

Just when I thought the timeline couldn't get dumber.

We gotta do more than expand the court two years from now. Congress can impeach corrupt justices and strip jurisdiction. It is time to step up and reboot democracy.

The fact that stephen miller is saying the US is closed to asylum seekers from Haiti while granting asylum to white South Africans should tell you all you need to know.

Oh what do we have here

Great news! Highest ridership on the rails in 6 years in L.A.! thesource.metro.net/new-d-line-s... #LosAngeles #LA #transit

PLYWOOD. They made it out of PLYWOOD. I’ve seen community theater sets more impressive and durable. ☠️ www.popville.com/2026/06/is-t...

Seen in pics from D.C. Pride this past weekend. This sign maker deserves an award. #DC #CapitalPride

The best thing about the reflecting pool is how that man would not shut up about it for weeks. He used his pool guy! He had infographics made! He drove down the middle of it! Never in the history of anything has a punchline been set up so perfectly.

I'm getting a lot of questions about how to assess air quality risk so I'm bringing out the old Torched favorite from last year 😷

Situational awareness for 6/20: air quality took a dive overnight and it smells VERY strongly of smoke at my house this morning. Take precautions if you're outside today. ⚽ Downey fan zone opens today (one day only) 🚲 Southeast LA Open Streets 🎉 LACMA parade with Wilshire street closures

Strait of Hormuz is closed again and here’s what he’s doing.

i stand by my earlier reporting on joseph gordon-levitt! www.webworm.co/joseph/

having a friend who is 25-50% a hater is the absolute best. but if someone is like 75% a hater its the most depressing thing in the world (still not as bad as a friend who is less than 5% a hater)

I love the @academymuseum.bsky.social so much, especially going to screenings there. Tonight, it was Billy Wilder's The Seven Year Itch, starring Marilyn Monroe and Tommy Ewell. I’d never seen it before and it was wonderful. #LA www.academymuseum.org/programs/det...

What a career, impact, and loss. RIP.

I am unconvinced that these TV personalities (is this what we are calling them?) on Good Day LA and Spectrum News 1 are not AI. There’s something off about them.

The celebration of Black joy during Pride Month reminds us of our beauty & power - buff.ly/gbf5Gst

OH MY GOD. Between the name of his company and this, it is TOO much.

In the past month, @xminust.bsky.social and I have been able to spend time with five East Coast friends visiting Los Angeles. I have ZERO desire to go back east, but it was really great to see and spend time with them.

They fired every single person in the administration that possesses a brain and anyone that would say, "Hey, this probably won't work." Being surrounded by Yes Men may sound nice, but it's a disaster.

After the tarp went up to try and stop the “Berlin Wall” moment, Cliff Owen of the AP got the iconic 📸 shot. 🇺🇸

I know there are significantly more important things going on in the world, but it’s ‘Dupont' Circle (lowercase ‘p’) and not ‘DuPont,’ @latimes.com. —Signed, a former longtime Washingtonian

*He* ruined this, too, didn’t he?

This weekend was packed with so much Pride fun that I almost forgot to mention I saw Backrooms. It was weird, unsettling, and genuinely scary, and I absolutely loved it. More horror films like this that rely on atmosphere and suspense instead of gore, please!

Yooooo remember a couple years ago when those three LA city council members were caught on tape saying a ton of insanely racist stuff and conspiring to gerrymander another council member’s district? That other council member was Nithya Raman. The voting bloc they were trying to split? Renters.

Hey @xminust.bsky.social I think you wanted to see this? 😆

I'm a national political reporter with a large platform and I am just learning, this morning, that Donald Trump peddles lies and acts immaturely when pressed for evidence. And this is, I'll be frank as an expert in my field, stunning to me. Devastating. Are you aware of this?

Between WeHo Pride and this, today was a really good day. #LosAngeles

Or the day the MLB and/or the Dodgers sue him for trademark infringement and/or false endorsement for use of their logo in his campaign (including merch). (How on Earth have they not already done this?!)

A Pratt loss *and* WeHo Pride Parade on the same day would be a wonderful day. But not as wonderful as the day he leaves L.A. as he’s promised.

is it because all the republicans left

Love that three of the top five are in California!

Help I can't stop watching this
