100 degrees but the humidity is 20%. It actually feels fantastic after all of that humidity we had.

Was looking through photographs I took in 2021 and found this
A Plymouth prowler with lambo doors that are open. It has crashed. The exposed front  left axle broke.

If I were in government right now, this is what I would be spending all my time on: Fines, hearings, shame – none of it's changed the behavior of Big Tech. But data centers give you more leverage than you have *ever had* to force Big Tech to renegotiate its social compact with the American public.

Islands restaurant, Glendale, CA. 9/27/2026. I’ve recently learned that Islands restaurants are getting design makeovers (Pasadena is apparently already renovated). Glendale is getting the treatment soon, so if you want to re-live the 90s you gotta go soon!

Visiting the Lucas Museum made me realize that the drive for all these Billionaires to make more and more money is just that it can buy more attention. They all have dumb ass shit to say and no one wants to listen so they make a ton of money so they can essentially pay society to listen to them.

I googled the top selling living visual artists and the Gemini list included both Hockney and Kusama.

I realized what would really make the new Lucas Museum “click:” a giant Wyland whale mural across all of the white exterior surfaces.

For a west coast city of its size, Long Beach has an impressive little collection of grand old apartment buildings.
A grand old apartment building likely from the 1910s named the St RegisThe tallest 1920s residential building in CA I believe. French white and green A somewhat colorful 1920s apartment tower with balconies likely converted from fire eacapesA pretty classy 1920s Mediterranean apartment tower with a grand entrance

I remember reading probably a decade ago that there were sea turtles living in an inlet in Long Beach where warm water came out from some sort of industrial facility. I figured it was just a matter of time til they started showing up on beaches..

10/10 ad campaign for Croatia tourism. No notes.
John malkovich sitting on a shore in Croatia looking up. It says “I hear it’s beautiful” superimposed over him. There’s also an official tourism slogan above that says Croatia Full of Life

I just realized that the dumb pundit political class is probably going to try and make a post-Trump “American renaissance” happen before it has a chance to actually organically happen… Like all the forced Time Magazine declarations from the 90s / early 2000s

My two cents re: the Nikole Hannah-Jones article discourse: There are a lot of people in upper-middle class society who “don’t like to talk politics” but are constantly talking about school quality. It’s a perfect topic for laundering and perpetuating conservative/antisocietal political norms.

Pretty fantastic street view image of the Hollywood Forever vertical mausoleum:
Stacked concrete volumes with opaque (likely translucent stone) “window” panes and breeze-block openings. Trees are on top of the open roof deck surfaces.

Remember the Rialamo
The fly loft of the Rialto Theater in South Pasadena. Lit in a postmodernist way by the golden hour. Bare concrete wall and stuccoed facade with plaster details including a false window balcony thing

Been trying to get a sense of what the youths are into in terms of new indie music and it seems like it’s all either: 1. Goth Industrial and/or Joy Division emulation or 2. Britpop-style Spoken Word / talk rock. Am I getting this right?

I saw some posts about AI industry sex cult stuff and it reminded me how much the AI Industry seems like a re-hashing of Jack Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard — only without Parsons’ anti-authoritarian views.

These missiles look like wwii German buzz bombs — reminding me that so many of these people are just the dorks who lament that the Nazis (and to a lesser extent Imperial Japanese Army) got “all the cool stuff” in WWII.

On Formosa Ave in WeHo there are two attached dingbats (or possibly detached by only a sliver?). I can’t think of any other example like this in LA. They were likely built by the same developer (?). The buildings “dumbbell” in to allow a light well for the windows.
Two 1960s dingbat buildings without visible space in between them from the street.

lrt: i've talked about this before on here, but far right political movements are in fact intrinsically antisocial and criminal, and can prob be stopped in every country in which they're rising simply by enforcing existing law against them

Honda rebadging the Land Rover Discovery for the Japanese market is one of the funnier things that ever happened in the history of cars.

I buy that most of the AI company CEOs are true believer nutjobs but I can’t imagine this being broadly true of the big investors. Regardless of what the the CEOs believe, the value is in the hype/hysteria.

I’m not a big chrome and leather classic car guy but I saw a late 1960s Henri Chapron Citroen DS cabriolet on the freeway the other day and just about died. Those headrests are chefs kiss.
A brown Citroen like the one I saw. A two door cabriolet with custom headrests and some custom coach workInterior shot of the same car in a different color (burgundy). You can see the sublime headrests here.

I‘ve driven through Bridgeport, CA so many times and I’d never noticed this sub-sign on Jolly Kone before today.
Jolly Kone sign in front of a red and white roadside restaurant. The main sign has Jolly Kone in red script, and underneath it says “burgers, Burritos, Ice Cream.”

Then there’s a sub-sign also on the pole that says “MASSAGE”
