The mayor's letter asks the City Council to spend money it doesn't have on police recruits that don't exist to solve a problem that is fake.
There is no magic ratio of police officers to residents that will make LA more safe. The unsupported obsession with 10,000 officers is bankrupting us.

Yesterday, Mayor Karen Bass sent a letter to city council urging them to allocate $4.4 million to hire 410 LAPD officers. I wrote earlier about LAPD going over budget on hiring, w/o permission or identifying $ to cover the overages. Budget/finance committee was not happy.

I’m curious as to what polish people think about Paweł Janas. He did lead your country to a World Cup and he is arguably responsible for Lukas Podolski not playing for Poland and to a lesser extent Miroslav Klose.

This isn't "qualification", it's allocation of leftover teams (no offence to said teams). US Soccer, MLS, et al, should be looking to grow this important historic tournament not diminish it. For the second season running the defending champion won't get to defend their title.

Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

While I focus on martial arts, any physical activity is a great way to build community while getting in shape. Start a hiking, running, skating, parkour, club today!
For a variety of reasons I see cycling clubs as a good idea. It’s endurance training, team dynamics, an untraceable way to get around and snatches dollars from the worst people.
I’m about to get back on this horse whether or not I get joiners.
