The trouble with split sports loyalties: Aw man, the Kings lost (as usual) their first fame of the season. YAY, THE PADRES WON THE WILD CARD SERIES!

You can bring them the receipts and then they'll just say "liberal media" but it's still worth doing

I was not aware of this bill but it sounds like a good idea to me! No reason to hold it up that I can see. ...except, of course, large donations from, let's just say... Edison? PG&E? Who can say.

California - and nobody, really - should hire any of these asshole contractors ever again. Sorry it's a 20 minute video but the tl;dr is that this consortium of contractors has been and is continuing to extort the people of Los Angeles. youtu.be/3FOZ7R9bUBA?...

Haven't seen anything like this all season! I doubt it will persist, but, well, how lovely.

A chart of the Major League Baseball National League standings showing YOUR San Diego Padres ahead of the Chicago Cubs and Philadelphia Phillies by one game in the wild card race. This is pretty freaking important since there are only four games left in the regular season for most teams. It is a tight race for the wild card slots and things may shift!

Have you ever been mad at something you made for being truly delicious, because it was even more of a pain in the ass than you thought it would be? To the point where you (or I, anyway) say "God DAMMIT. This is good." Well, I have with this finicky damn recipe: www.seriouseats.com/food-lab-cre...

Fresh ricotta, leafy spinach, white sauce, fresh pasta, and careful assembly of layers are key to producing the ultimate creamy, cheesy, spinach lasagna flavored with a hint of nutmeg.

Neat stuff going on at the Tar Pits! (Though I think calling Wilshire & Fairfax "Hancock Park" is a bit of a stretch)

Omg. I came across PBS Food on Samsung Live TV. Currently playing The French Chef and if I did not already love Julia Child (I do) I would now. It is delightfully unpolished in a terribly charming way. She is often breathless. She pauses oddly at times. She messes up. I *fucking* love it.

Let none of us ever forget that the reason Malibu is an incorporated city is because the incredibly rich residents threw a revolt when the city of Los Angeles (to which Malibu used to belong) asked the residents to pay taxes to build them a proper sewer system. MAKES YA WONDER, HUH?

Shocking results for a life-long Southern Californian, I know. Though I think they should've asked a question about "hella" to differentiate SoCal from NorCal.

Okay, any L.A. folks who follow me (there is at least one), where the heck is this building? I know I've seen it somewhere, but I can't remember. I looked up the business and it still exists, but not in this location.

I get the point - why the hell would the Governor of S. Carolina appoint Graham's sister as a Senator, but anyway, boy oh boy would I suck. One of my brothers sells financial instruments to financial advisers and the other one is an interventional radiologist (i.e., surgeon).

Just a quick reminder that 9/11 was almost 25 years ago, so it's pretty weird to expect any person who could reasonably be called a "kid" to remember it. But I get that the real (and shitty) message is "kids these days, they're dumb, am I right"

KIDS THESE DAYS

BUT DON'T REMEMBER

This report is utter hogwash, of course. But apart from the fact that it ignores who started Jim Crow in the first place, it's pretty rich to say we "came to reject Jim Crow and segregation" when this administration is currently pushing a voting bill that will reinstate Jim Crow, at least in part.
