This is a great interview. LA Taco really has been doing great stuff, well before the ICE raids. One of the best Los Angeles-based outlets. I remember a very good piece profiling the one voting center inside Skid Row, in an election where homelessness was the top issue.

I got to talk with @lataco.bsky.social's @eltragon.bsky.social about his tireless documentation of immigration raids in LA, and how his knowledge of the city's street food scene makes him a better immigration reporter

They Spent Years Covering L.A.'s Taco Scene. When ICE Raids Began, They Were Ready.

"It's very personal to me," Memo Torres told HuffPost. "L.A. is home. So you attack my home, you’re attacking my people."

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

I’m going to write a murder mystery story where the perpetrator is caught because a witness gets a brief glimpse of a pair of swaying gold truck nuts as the perpetrator drives away from the crime scene.

Writing on the back of this photo from my collection says “General Nuisance. Summer 1954”.

Photo of a longhaired tortie cat lying on a sunny sidewalk with grass lawn on either side. It has a round little dark object in front of it, a toy maybe.
