Tove Lo never misses. Perfect set. I’d have more photos but see the “Perfect set” part.

Sometimes opening acts are so brilliant. I hate Oasis but they were incredible live (U2). Wet Leg made me an instant fan (Florence & The Machine.) Mannequin Pussy (Florence, again) was an incredible communal experience. Other times…

The advantages of having The Greek up the hill from you is it’s just a (very sweaty) walk up the hill when your favorite Swedish Pop Star in on tour.

This may have ruined me for all other chocolate ice cream. Jeni’s Opaque.

And now, months later, I’ve finally wrapped @mollycrabapple.bsky.social’s tremendous Here Where We Live Is Our Country. Glimpses of worlds we could have had and an unflinching look at the horrors that made the world that is. I leave it hopeful that we can wake up from the nightmare of history.

I have! It’s both less and more creepy than you’d think at the same time. This is the book from the exhibit. His poems. Her art. (And I got it off a little it was LA MOCA.)

Turns out on game night the horchata at the Guisados’ near Dodger Stadium becomes a Dodgerchata. No matter the color, still my favorite. Period.

I knew that Japanese tourism to see Shohei Ohtani play at Dodger Stadium was a thing. I did not realize that it was a “print the Guisados‘ menus in Japanese for game night“ level thing.

The menu for Los Angeles‘s famed taco spot Guisados’ printed in Japanese, with Dodger blue text on White. It sits on the white countertop of the store.

It’s part of their “Varsity” line, making reference to Lucas’ USC alumni status and the museum’s proximity to USC. If I had more cash I would have picked this or the sweatshirt up. I left with the Taschen book and a tote bag I probably shouldn’t have gotten. But what I really wanted was this:

A vase of Frank Frazetta’s Mothman (1980) painting.

Noah J. Nelson, Immersonaut Prime @noahjnelson.com · 06/09/2026

The name of the painting seems to be a bit of a mystery Online sources, including an article in GQ identify the work as “Poker Game.” This is what the Lucas Museum’s own postcard calls it. But the plaque at the museum, the digital guide, and the Taschen art book all call it “A Pat Hand.”

There’s a lot to live about the Lucas Museum, but I think my favorite bit is that not only did they put the original Dogs Playing Poker painting in a museum but they have a boatload of merch for it.

Started out as showing off (as one does) and then I was like “Oh, crap I should see that.” (Specifically the Martha Graham, which I wish I knew was around when my mom was alive because Martha Graham was her idol.)

ESPN 2 is on in this nacho place I’m in and they’ve got the Savannah Bananas on and I think I’m a killjoy? Very happy for them to have a full stadium but the secret is I actually LIKE baseball and don’t need cheerleaders doing line dancing. This hit take has been brought to you by this:

This is the plan, and it goes back to an obscure group in Canada that Elon Musk’s maternal grandfather was a part of. Look up “Technocracy Inc.” Not the RPG antagonists. The political movement from the early 20th Century.

I know we like to rag on Threads over here — I mean, we should rag on Zuck products every chance we get — but the folks over there often get some banger replies going.

Explain to me why the so called "astronauts" who circled the moon didn't sizzle the water like this?
Maybe cuz they DIDNT GO?!

Before I say anything, have you been removing the plastic from the cheese slices before you eat them?

Was just over at Threads doing some due diligence for @noproscenium.com when I came across this post from @bsky.app there. This is disastrous comms and worst of all it makes all of us here seem like assholes to the casual users over there. Whoever did this should be fired. cc: @masnick.com

hey. we're sorry about the previous post. it was supposed to be a dig at Meta, not Threads users, but that obviously wasn't clear enough. we love guinea pigs. if you were our guinea pigs, we'd never do things like train our Al on your content or sell your data to advertisers. 2/2

More context on the fire in L.A. via the L.A. Times by way of Threads user late.july: (No paywall on link at present.) www.latimes.com/business/sto...

The 500,000-square-foot commercial building at 1400 S. Los Palos St. houses 85 million pounds of frozen food "like a giant cooler," he said. The corrugated steel walls are filled with very dense foam that is burning slowly and off-gassing despite ongoing water drops from helicopters.

Moore cautioned people with lung issues or smoke sensitivity to avoid outdoor activities, but said crews have mitigated the hazardous-materials portion of the blaze and are now focused on the biohazard portion posed by spoiled food.

A shelter-in-place order for residents was lifted on Friday, but many across the region on social media reported thick smoke smells, haze and poor air quality in the San Gabriel Valley, Northeast Los Angeles, Glendale, Burbank, downtown Los Angeles and many

I don’t okay tourist so much as I go walking around a city I don’t know until I find the hip coffee spot.

Two glasses and a spoon on a small wooden plank with the name “Naughty Coffee” burned into it. One glass is water. The other is an espresso tonic served with a lemon peel.
