Nithya now ~7K behind for L.A. Mayor. At this rate she should pass Pratt tomorrow or Monday.

This is a really cool piece on how Alan Alda has funded an initiative to help researchers better communicate their findings to the public through learning improv skills.

I am obsessed with this finalist in this year's Michigan “I voted” sticker design contest

It feels rote to say that Shohei Ohtani is ridiculous, but man, Shohei Ohtani is so ridiculous. I just don't even know how to wrap my head around a 0.74 ERA as a pitcher paired with a .301 batting average/.941 OPS as a hitter.

Sarah Langs is Working. For Lou Gehrig Day I talked to and wrote about baseball’s indomitable stat queen, who is producing just as much as ever. “A great note isn’t great because it came from someone with ALS — it just is. There’s no park adjustments.” sports.yahoo.com/mlb/article/...

Whomst else was having election anxiety dreams last night 🙃 currently experiencing the weirdest combination of relief and dread at this primary coming to an end

Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band at Nationals Park frickin ruled. I had actually never seen a concert at a baseball stadium before! So it was very cool it was the park of my husband’s hometown club. And obviously it had to be Bruce. Per his orders, we let ‘em hear us at the fuckin’ White House.

i want to make this happen

This was years ago, but I dreamed that this was the hot new meme format: A guy on a jetski with the phrase "That is [number over 100]% not my problem." There were variations with different pictures and percentages, but the general layout was otherwise always the same.

NO

Aging myself here, but: I think a good rule of thumb is that if you were ever the subject of a What the Buck?! video, you are not someone who should hold major political office. (This is a post about Spencer Pratt.)

The Nationals have identified and banned at least one individual from Nats Park after they unfurled a sign that directed fans to a white nationalist website, according to a team spokesperson. More in here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/728...

Okay, ngl, this is pretty funny.

The algorithms clearly know that I'm a woman in my mid-30s because they simply will not stop feeding me skincare-related content.

The most recent Hacks episode is basically a Frasier storyline.

Any time a cooking competition show does a vegetarian or vegan challenge, at least one of the contestants complains, every single time. Gonna go out on a limb and say that if you can't cook a good vegetable-based dish you might not actually be all that talented of a chef!

Last night in Chicago, Bruce Springsteen dedicated his show to Renée Good, Alex Pretti and uniting against ICE. Near the end of his performance, he handed his harmonica to a boy in the crowd. What he didn't know when he did is that the boy is the son of Marimar Martinez's attorney, Chris Parente.

People who don't live in L.A. sometimes have misconceptions about how much ~show biz~ plays a role in average people's lives. But also, I canvassed today, and our route included an NBA player, a well-known music producer and a billionaire's ex-wife 🤷‍♀️

Traci Park and her billionaire supporters and corporate donors are spending an unprecedented amount of money because we are winning and they simply don't know what else to do. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Very exciting moment just now where I heard the opening of “Best of My Love” and then it turned out to ACTUALLY BE “Best of My Love” and NOT “Lil Boo Thang.”

Former MLB outfielder Garret Anderson has died at age 53, per a release from the Angels. The team will wear this memorial patch for the remainder of the 2026 season.

We are shocked and saddened by the passing of Garret Anderson, a 17-year MLB veteran and a standout member of the 2002 World Series champion Angels. A Los Angeles native, Anderson debuted with the Angels in 1994 and spent 15 of his 17 Major League seasons with the team. He finished his career with

Wait, a character in the finale actually said something about the Chinese inventing gunpowder LOL

Alex Vesia strikes out the side on just 10 pitches for the save plus reactions, including the suite of healthcare workers that supported him and his wife through their ordeal.

Some progressive folks I postcard with have been referring to Tom Steyer as “the class traitor” (complimentary) so I guess that’s the mindset I’m getting into now 🤷‍♀️

The details in here are horrifying but needed to be made public. Please take care while reading.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band have been rocking so hard for so long, and I feel lucky every single time I get to experience it. But this current tour…not that Bruce using his platform to fight the good fight is new, but I’m so appreciative of the fierceness/clarity with which he’s doing it

And there’s plenty of illegal signs on public property too. I saw one on a poor palm tree. You can report those to 311. Meanwhile, we keep getting our yard signs stolen. Donate to our campaign so we can replace the stolen signs! Faizahforla.com

Wild how Traci Park and her supporters claim to love law and order, yet apparently no one ever told her canvassers it's illegal to put their campaign materials in mailboxes 🙃 I'm now up to three @faizahforla.bsky.social canvasses (and counting!), and they emphasize not to do that EVERY TIME.

I say this as someone who actually really really liked the Easter Lily EP: U2 should just keep dropping EPs every six weeks just so that we continue to get semi-regular episodes of U Talkin' U2 To Me?!

The Dodgers mourn the loss of Davey Lopes, who passed away today at age 80. Lopes was a member of the team’s record-setting infield of the 1970s and 1980s and one of the finest basestealers in MLB history. Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

most know that Miguel Rojas started a tradition: when the Dodgers win a series, they celebrate with a shot/toast. Tuesday night, after the win and series clinch, with Miggy back at the team hotel, the Dodgers toasted him and prayed for the Rojas family 💙

Miguel Rojas hit a solo home run in his last game at Rogers Centre, and the Blue Jays scored one run off of him in his return. It all evens out.
