The Largo in #LA is truly a special gem. Saw Tig Notaro & Chris Fairbanks tonight, and they were great. Turned around a particularly crappy, stressful week! 🙏🏼

There is no reason why Los Angeles shouldn't have a protected, dedicated bike lane on every street. Flower St alone has 7 (SEVEN!) car lanes from which to choose. SEVEN! #LA

I finally had my first Jack Black sighting. I was driving west on Los Feliz. He was riding a sit on top Lime scooter heading east on the sidewalk just past the Los Feliz par 3 golf course. It’s a rite of passage to see Jack on micromobility in the neighborhood. Build Jack some bike lanes!

Apropos of this humidity, friendly reminder that dew point temperature is much more accurate as to how humid it feels. Pay attention to that instead. Here's a helpful chart. #LosAngeles #LA

This reminds me of Stanislav Petrov, the Soviet colonel who disobeyed orders when a technological warning system told him that the US had fired nuclear missiles. He distrusted the machines, waited, and investigated. As a result, he prevented nuclear war. AI makes rash, deadly mistakes more likely.

Good article calling out the costs & consequences of car-centric cities. Any traffic engineer or city planner still working to lock in car dependent sprawl is guilty of professional malpractice. Arguments that “the market wants it” or “elected officials make the actual decisions” just don’t cut it.

🚨Just a gentle reminder- Chapter 13 of Project 2025 spells out how they will create food insecurity by cutting safety nets and slashing regulations and restrictions on food production and safety inspections. Just in case anyone finds it interesting.

I love reading the comments of recipe pages where people are like "I didn't have any sugar so I substituted crushed red pepper flakes and it was SO SPICY. I can't believe you didn't warn people how spicy it is. 0 out of 5 stars."

We must normalize being extremely rude to people with surveillance cameras on their faces. It is the moral duty of every citizen to make them feel extremely unwelcome everywhere they go.

It’s operated by a Nazi billionaire who openly is calling for the deportation of America’s nonwhite population. Your presence there drives clicks, engagement, and therefore financial support for him and his activities. Maybe you get more engagement there. But we should be honest about all this imo.
