Exclusively doing food and art coverage? I woke up at the crack of dawn yesterday and went to the courthouse to cover a possible wrongful conviction case that I've been working on all year. Our coverage isn't changing.

LA Taco does not appear to have acknowledged it, but it seems like it is trying to pivot back to exclusively doing food and arts coverage? It’s not going well.

Is the Metro board chair position cursed?!

Alissa Walker@awalkerinla.bsky.social

Something I just realized: Karen Bass is currently serving as Metro board chair, a term which runs through June 30, 2027. If Nithya Raman becomes mayor, she will also immediately be sworn in as Metro board chair. This would also be the second Metro board chair in a row to lose their reelection

Our hosts discuss the likelihood of a blue wave sweeping upcoming elections. At the final mayoral debate, Nithya Raman invokes a troubling chapter of LAPD history. And while the Burbank airport quietly delivered a brand-new terminal, the LAX people mover suffered… “blast incidents”?

NEW: Chevron just gave $50,000 to support LA Mayor Karen Bass — and defeat Nithya Raman. "They view Karen Bass as someone who they can work with, someone who will protect their interests in L.A. And they view Nithya Raman as a threat to fossil fuels." www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/chevron-ka...

LA Pod ep 326: @awalkerinla.bsky.social, @mikebonin.bsky.social and @blueskyyyaquie.bsky.social track LA’s latest mayoral race drama... including if LAPD chief Jim McDonnell should be replaced. Why is the LA police union opposing Measure FD? And how long should someone be the mayor of Inglewood?

Update: There is a rapidly emerging fire weather threat in parts of SoCal Thu-Fri in places that have not seen significant recent precip (esp. western LA metro). A warm Santa Ana event will bring strong, gusty winds even to lower elevs, but vegetation moisture highly variable.

Alissa, Godfrey, and guest co-host Robert Greene dig into the minutiae of ongoing County governance reform and our upcoming ballot measure alphabet soup. Nithya Raman is now leading Karen Bass by double digits in a new poll. And does Los Angeles have a weak mayor… or is it just a weak city?
