the bushes were people 😂

Ordered a pair of sneakers not realizing they are made to order. Now I get weekly emails with status updates: "we've now slaughtered the cow that will provide the leather for your new kicks. Next step: tanning. Still on track to ship in 4 months." I'm mortified they may not fit.

What’s even the point in watching then

Sinners was a fine movie, but I'm with Bad Bunny-- KPop Demon Hunters was the best film of the year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LW9Q...

If true, this would be worth a fortune.

Wow! Maybe they should actually WATCH that episode (which wasn't that great, though it was the 1st seasons so give them a break, but did guest star the incomparable Vincent Schiavelli, RIP). Morons.

I have no words.

Found out my longtime therapist for over a decade got mowed down and killed on a sidewalk in Santa Monica by a drunk driver a few days ago. The scourge of pedestrian deaths in LA is completely out of control.

Cannot stop watching this. The dress just kills me.

Happy Halloween!

I've long been a believer that there are myriad older, deeper cultural problems underlying our current political climate, and articles like this one definitely seem to validate that theory. Great read. www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/love-sex/...

Me, whenever I realize it’s only Monday:

I would love to travel back in time and show this article to all the parents, teachers, etc who *swore* TV would melt my brain. They had NO idea. www.derekthompson.org/p/why-everyt...

Granted, I haven't seen most of the Oscar contenders yet, but "K-Pop Demon Hunters" is so far the best film I've seen all year. Which, if you know anything about my taste in movies, is really saying something.

I feel his pain. At least he wasn't stuck on Pico in west LA during rush hour!

Was today even necessary? I mean in general

Well kiss my grits! And RIP! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/a...

You know you're officially an Angeleno when the weather drops from 90s to 80 and you bust out the sweaters and jackets.

I am so over the iPhone's Quasimodo camera humps. They aren't even trying to be elegant and practical anymore. That said, those cameras are amazing and really travel well. Sigh.

THIS THIS. A MILLION PERCENT THIS. www.cjr.org/analysis/wha...

I always feel like I manifest a lot of get-of-my-lawn energy as I get older, but man, I can't hold a candle to this dude. And he hasn't even hit 40 yet.

The loss of public funding for pub media is expediting many come-to-Jesus meetings that should have happened years ago. I'm personally excited about what public media can become in this new era, but it's also clear many haven't progressed through all the stages of mourning yet.

This is some Uncanny Valley shit. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/14/s...

This is actually the key secret to achieving effective organizational health.

This was remarkable. So glad I got to see it: www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I've been in LA nearly 30 years and I still forget every year that summer never actually starts here till August and fall doesn't kick in till Thanksgiving. When July is beautiful while the rest of the country bakes, we get so smug. We never learn.

Man, tonight's Jeopardy had all the drama and terror of a 7th game NBA final 😮‍💨

Last night at the Hollywood Bowl I heard a classical piece for the first time that moved me deeply; not sure how I missed it before: Ralph Vaughan Williams's "The Lark Ascending." Incredible how so much beauty can flow from a single instrument.

Newest obsession: the YouTube subgenre of "work/study/chill with me" videos that feature hours-long music mixes while people literally film themselves working/studying/hanging together. And if you're into folk/tribal house music, it's 10x better, trust.

Would love a Bsky filter that allows you to block any post that includes a screenshot from X.

I used Veo 3 to solve Shakespearean tragedies as pictured in classical art. (sound on)

This. 1000%.

That's quite a graphic.

It's really felt like something's been missing in all the chaos we've been living through of late. Oh right-- a war. Check. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Less >>THAN<< lethal, for goodness sake

❤️

🤌

What happens when you lay staff off en masse. Ugh.

Nerd moment: 1. The curfew area in DTLA is over 7 square miles, not 1. This is repeatedly misstated, which isn't a big deal ultimately but speaks to the utter lack of fact checking by local news. 2. "less lethal" and "less-than-lethal" have VERY different meanings. Get it right. Ugh.

Baby's first byline! 🥹 laist.com/news/the-eye...

In what world is this "one square mile"??

If you expectorate, we defenestrate!

Looked at my phone and realized “this is what life is like in 2025…” 😳

News to me, and I live downtown! 😳

Not sure how I feel about Apple going full "Windows 95" now...

That was an amazing tennis game.

Microsoft Teams is so bad it's like the team that developed it was using Microsoft Teams

This is awful. www.npr.org/2025/06/03/n...

Chef's kiss.

Magical piece. Read it!
