I bet you didn’t know (if you don’t live here), that Not all LA apartments come with a fridge. Seems nuts. I’m glad they fixed this.

No fridge? No more. Newsom signs bill requiring apartment landlords to supply appliances

People moving to Los Angeles are regularly baffled by the region’s refrigerator-less apartments. They’ll soon be a thing of the past.

I’m over here zooming in to try and see the prices. I couldn’t make any out, so I’ll just assume that mints are $16 (each), and chocolate bars are $35

The amount of little girls Nashville has just let get raped and murdered and then never solved their cases is kind of bracing.

This is really cool. Assuming that the other conditions are met, renters can apply if they have permission of the property owners.

Swapping out your grass for drought-tolerant plants is good for the environment, but it can be costly. LADWP's recently launched Landscape Efficiency Assistance Program can help you do it for free.

What riots? Ask those of us who live here. There weren’t any fucking riots.

Schiff: This is supposed to be an oversight hearing when dozens of prosecutors have been fired simply because they worked on cases investigating the former president.

Bondi: What about the fires in California? Are the riots in LA serious?

All good. I chose not to go to the spot where everyone was gathered because I didn’t want to be in the line of fire if the suspect had a gun. There was about a minute where it got really scary because it sounded like they were seconds from shooting him.

Never a dull moment.

I saw a couple of cops walking around with bright green guns that I’m guessing are the rubber bullet things. I did see one with a real rifle. Then the one directing the suspect started really yelling at him and said he would shoot him. That was scary. I think the complied at that point.

Well, that was dramatic. This all happened across the street and a couple of doors down. Some people watched from directly across the street, but I felt like that might not be the safest. They were yelling at someone to come out with their hands up for a long time and there were bangs, but not shots

I spoke too soon. There are a bunch of cruisers on my street, there’s a guy in cuffs, and now they’re taping off a building. I guess I have to go out on a bra and Gladys Kravitz this situation

I’m almost done with Bosch, and if I didn’t live here, I’d find it unbelievable that he requests air support for every little thing. I live in a chill spot, but LAPD circles over minor stuff almost daily. They’re currently rattling my windows and flying super low. Is this where all the money goes?

I would love for this to be when the fever actually breaks. As someone who carries scars from bullying, it bothers me to watch people worship a pretty classic mean girl who often masquerades as a victim. When you’re at the top, all punching is down.

Also, stanning a billionaire is something else.

I guess I get why they would take the gamble. As offensive as the cost is, I’d pay it if I could afford it. I have the desperation, but not the bank account.

It’s the least I can do, and I’m happy to do it.

CA’s vote by mail system is incredibly convenient, and this is the simplest ballot you’ll ever fill out (you’re voting on one measure, and that’s it).

Congratulations. If you can afford this lower price, you’re more financially privileged than most. It’s a step in the right direction, but a really small one.

Honest question: couldn’t the drug companies make *more* if they made it accessible to everyone? Lower cost, but a way bigger customer base.
