I'm on whatever side doesn't shoot people with opposing views. (Yes, I realize this means I have no side.)

Twice in west L.A. today I felt compelled to slow the car to make sure homeless men shouting at enemies only they could see & furiously punching the air w/their fists didn't harass/harm the elderly women they were about to pass. No wonder hardly anyone walks in Los Angeles,

My ancestors just turned over in their graves. This is my great great grandmother Esther in late 1800s Ukraine. Almost my entire bloodline originated there. They dreamed of America. I am entirely embarrassed for America right now.

Apparently middle schoolers now run the GOP House Judiciary account on X. Who else would make a Rickroll joke about a sex trafficker / the Epstein files?

Fantastic read. The fleeting Dylan interactions set the scene, but the real story is LG’s resilience and reverence toward the place that gave her sanctuary.

Gentle reminder to those of us in Los Angeles who are back to wearing masks because of the fires: Please cut the straps before you discard them. Our wildlife has been through enough without getting their heads or bodies stuck in them now.

When we in Los Angeles say the fire is in surround sound (ok, only I say that): A friend who was evacuated from Malibu went to stay in Altadena, which she evacuated for Brentwood, where she is now being told to evacuate. Malibu & Altadena are 60+ miles apart. Brentwood is more or less in the middle.

Today my daughter asked me if I think the world used to be more colorful, things like fabrics, houses and just everything in general. I told her I didn’t think so, because it was harder to dye threads, yarns and other materials by hand and create paints, etc.
She said: No, I meant in the 1990s.
