In 1966, Ed Ruscha drove a car rigged with a motorized camera to capture Los Angeles’s most iconic street: Sunset Boulevard. He created a time capsule of its famed facades, beginning a 60-year-long commitment to documenting the changing urban landscape of postwar Los Angeles.

Photograph of three men on a city street looking at the camera. One person is seated inside of a truck in the drivers seat, and two people are standing in the truck bed. The person at the center of the photograph is artist Ed Ruscha and he is placed behind a camera that is on a tripod in the truck bed. This truck was used for Ruscha's Every Building on Sunset Strip project.

One example of a photograph from Ruscha's Every Building on the Sunset Strip project. This is a color photograph taken in 2007. The photograph is of the iconic Cinerama dome theater and the movie Hostel is playing. In the foreground, three cars are parked in front of the theater.

One of my favorite live theater experiences of all time is seeing Hadestown on Broadway with *most of* the original cast. Amber Grey was out for that performance, so we saw an understudy. Now that I’ve seen the pro-shot (twice!) I finally realize just how much we missed out on. She’s phenomenal.

Recency bias (because I just watched the reunion series) compels me to say that it’s Gong Yoo in Goblin.

Never forget that they had to spend trillions of dollars, build massive data centers, consume millions of galloons of water and insane amounts of electricity, just to kind of do what you can do better with your imagination and a cup of coffee. That's how envious they are of what you can do.

Excited to share the latest issue of Zoo View for summer 2026! Look how pretty it is! In this issue we covered educational programs, treating California condors for lead poisoning, animal acupuncture, and more! You can read it here: lazoo.org/join-our-com...

The cover of the summer 2026 issue of Zoo View Magazine, featuring a picture of a bright pink flamingo extending one leg backwards and one black-tipped wing pointing towards the ground. The headline in block white letters reads Lessons in Nature.

I’ve been finding it difficult to enjoy Western media recently, so I signed up for Viki and now I can watch all the Kdramas and other Asian content I want ad-free for $7.99/month. For less than the price of a movie ticket I basically have an unlimited sarotonin factory at my disposal.

deeply annoying that creative breakthroughs don’t come on schedule from direct work but from things like “open-ended conversations with interesting people” and “doing nothing”

Hey you. Yeah, you reading this. I hope your July is better than your June. I hope that thing you're worried about works itself out for the best. I hope they text back. I hope you find that $20 you forgot about in a pocket right when you need it most. I just really hope things for you get better.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

My last trip to New York was at a weird time in the Broadway season. Many of the Tony-nominated shows hadn’t opened yet, but I did get to see Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) and loved it. Even though it didn’t win any awards tonight it still has a special place in my heart.

I did not post during the show, but other than how much I love theatre, and that Pink was a great host, my main take on the Tonys is that Leslie Odom Jr. was wearing a full suit jacket WITH A FULL LEATHER JACKET OVER IT and I want an article about it

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

Almost a century ago, egg-poaching humans drove yellow-legged gulls away from beaches. Now the birds are coming back.

Something I've always found fascinating about Crichton's Jurassic Park is the small but persistant undercurrent that — while having to figure out how to care for dinosaurs from square one is certainly tricky and dangerous — the real problem is that Hammond wants to somehow run a zoo with no staff

Finally made it to the Jaws exhibit at the Academy Museum. Very well-organized, with lots of original props and fun interactive displays. My favorite thing (not pictured) was the dolly rig set up so you could use your phone camera to replicate the famous dolly shot of Brody on the beach.

A prop shark fin used in Jaws displayed on a white pedestal. Above it is a yellow sign with a quote from the movie, attributed to Chief Brody (Roy Scheider): “You open the beaches on the Fourth of July, it’s like ringing the dinner bell.

A museum display inspired by the design of the Orca from the movie Jaws. In the center is a wooden fishing chair and a fishing pole. There’s a harpoon gun, a scuba tank, a ships wheel, and other authentic props and scenery from the original film.

Fun but exhausting day at the Ren Faire. I should have taken more pictures, but I got this one as we were going in.

An old-timey sign reads “Renaissance Pleasure Faire” in fancy red letters on a yellow background. Below it are musicians dressed in Renaissance garb playing in front of a mural featuring a rearing white unicorn on the left and a red dragon on the right.
