"I love you, California, you’re the greatest state of all I love you in the winter, summer, spring and in the fall I love your fertile valleys; your dear mountains I adore I love your grand old ocean and I love your rugged shore..." ❤️ Written 1913. Early recording: youtu.be/XQL-klNnN3M?...

My neighbor came outside at dawn today and found three coyotes fast asleep on his front patio 😆 Too bad he couldn't get a photo. #nature #outdoors #LosAngeles We hear coyotes most nights, and they're getting a lot of bears about 10 miles from here. Like the nightly boxer: youtu.be/E9i7HfPKjgY?...

An in-game ad just popped up with this weird AI video of Elon Musk touting a secret memory aid using... Vicks 😆 I gather the same advertiser is using the likenesses of Bill Gates and Dr. Sanjay Gupta too. (Even worse, the ad is over two minutes long. Real Elon is bad enough. 👎)

The marketing of kids' drinks was huge back then, and naturally we wanted anything on tv. But also children are thirsty as hell by nature. Any entrepreneur could dig up a nickel to operate a Kool Aid stand, sold at two or three cents per cup and lavishly flavored with sugar and kids' dirty fingers.

Hate-watching LOVE STORY (1970), that goopy melodrama with Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neal. When I was in high school a lot of kids were walking around with this book under their arms. Amazingly, some critics liked it but the bad criticism is pretty funny: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_St...

Now that's what I call a field of strong candidates - people that nobody likes! 😆 I fully expect a dark horse to emerge at the last minute who's comparatively less offensive, and they'll all pretend to like him. And hold their nose and vote, because nothing matters but that R next to their name! 🦨

They're having lots of fun in Missouri today. A constitutional crisis in real time as their maga secretary of state intends to defy the court and use the new gerrymandered map anyway. Now he has to appear in court to explain why he shouldn't be charged with contempt. Maga = contempt for the law.

A teenager came up with this idea while still in high school: a network of fire sensors that can detect ignition from a mile away, before residents or cameras even see it. Let's roll them out across the region! #brushfires #LAfires

I'm a fourth-generation SoCal person, an Angeleno through and through. But I skew more "north," for a simple reason: We have so many non-native residents here. And a long-established pipeline from Texas and the Dustbowl states. #dialect #quiz

Do you ever dream your phone doesn't work, and it's hugely frustrating? In this one dream I couldn't get my phone to take a picture and I thought, just take out your other phone and use that, which I did. Then I realized: wait, I don't even OWN two phones - therefore I am dreaming. 1/2

When the world is drowning in cruelty, a simple act of kindness can make a person burst into tears. So when someone of such profound goodness is taken from us, it hurts ten time worse.

My friend Anni was so crazy. We used to have a lot of fun together. Like we'd sit in a restaurant and smear lipstick on our teeth, then strike glamorous poses and grin seductively at men who walked past. 😆 The guys who laughed were potential friends. The men who appeared frightened, well, alas. 🙃😅🤷‍♂️
