Today i met a new error at CVS self checkout - "Coupon box is full."

Just discovered the great Korean director's Lee Chang-Dong on Kanopy.. Started with the searing "Secret Sunshine". Enjoyed it more than the more revenge themed films like Parasite. It's already been a satisying few weeks of Kanopy movies directed by: Chilean Pablo Larrain Turkish Nuri Ceylan

Ok, UK folks, what is a banana sandwich?

The Diplomat S4 is banging. Snide, swift, clever. Fun fact: Rory Kinnear also played a hapless PM on Black Mirror S1 E1.

Friday at the new Lucas Museum.of Narrative.Art, Los Angeles.

Anyone else use their pill organizer to make ice cubes?

Whenever i see some obscenely rich celebrity shilling stuff on tv, i assume they are funnelling their take to charity. Aren't they?

If Dems sweep the mid terms we can thank Bernie. He has been the only pol consistently calling out wealth inequality.

Mayor Bass schmoozing with Caruso, who would not even endorse her, in the Palisades is a sign of desperation.

Too early to.plan a Nov 3rd block party?

Nithya Raman should only talk about the Chevron $50k that Bass took. Loudly and constantly until election Day.

I do not get George Saunders.

Barack Obama just delivered a blistering rebuke of Trump's actions against Ilhan Omar. This is worth reading in full.

Watched the fantastic Chilean actor Alfredo Castro in 3 good movies: -From Afar -The Prince -Post Mortem Thank you Kanopy. (Alas - Tony Moreno is erroring out when i try to stream it)

Only in L.A.. Three strung out unhoused persons are arguing loudly at a library table. I refuse to believe these able bodied people cannot find a job AND get the mental health help they need. L.A has lots of resources. My empathy is ebbing. I don't have high hopes for the Olympics.

Norm Eisen doing a full stand-up riff on Katie Zacharia's first day. "Did she get her law degree at the dury free" "Did she walk past a bar?" 😂😂😂

Practising my excuses for not eating the turkey or cranberry sauce at TG.

I'm behind a 20ish couple at Panera. Complex ordering ensues. Barista to male: Is that all? He: You think the coffee will keep me awake after 3.30? (It's 12.30pm) Barista: She: Babe, think about it. Re-ordering ensues. As penance, said couple must buy a chai in Mumbai without causing a riot.

I just walked by 4 busstops in L.A. Each one was occupied by an unhoused and/or ranting person. This is what hardworking low income Angelenos,are subjected to daily. I take Metro about once a week. Every single time there is a person in the behaving irrationally. Mayor Bass has got to fucking go.

I can recognize several NYT reporters' voices now. Literally. Am I watching too much tv?

Jen Psaki, all you need to.ask Sen. Tillis is if he has balls.

Kentucky Outlaw Something Tomato Pizza, Amex, Guilfoyle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, one time Trump fiance, once married to Newsom. Laugh, cry, whatever. The Great American Howl.

Jack Black is obnoxious.and insufferable. Why is he famous?

What does "testosterone testing on top" mean?

Just watched "Once Upon A Time In Anatolia." This was released in 2011. Did not realize what i had missed. Beautiful and introspective. Thank you #Kanopy for streaming all the Nuri Ceylan films, so i can now indulge in this director's work.

Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Madonna at VMA is the drunk uncle at TG.

That episode of SNL with Jalen Bunson was 1.5 hrs of "blink if you need help JB".

Matteo Lane on the PBS American Master podcast was not on my bingo card. Highly reccomended. youtu.be/psFXh9tQv1c?...

Idk but the fake camarederie on the sidlines of the Laver Cup is kinda cringe. Agassi is definitely putting on an act. How much are they paying him?

This might be controversial. Listening to him defend his views and policies i believe Abdul Al-Sayed is a better retail politician than Obama. Is it because the former is an immigrant doctor? I know Obama began as a local organiser but i always thought he was too lawyerly.A great orator but aloof.

Abdul Sayed in a riveting interview with Ezra Klein. A great human being. youtu.be/f7MVyjL-rbk?...

Rev. Adam Hamilton (D) who is running for.Senate in Kansas is a breath of fresh air. Need to dig into his views on lgbt, abortion, etc to be fully convinced. It is Kansas after all.

Morning nrews anchors having to look up the meaning of "metier" and thinking it is funny is peak L.A. I am surprised Frank Buckley, a seasoned anchor, did not know what it means.

Raman leading Bass by double digits percUC Berkeley/L.A. Times poll. Great news!

Am i right in thinking that London is in bad shape? Trash, aggressive panhandlers, and poor customer service. Also, 1. An Indian lady was struggling to get her large suitcase on the tube. No one nearby offered to help. 2. A white tube employee discarded his cup of coffee on the station floor.

Spriggan, Parkland Walk, London. Stephen King wrote Crouch End after seeing it.

MSNOW using the alarmist phrase "A.I. will destroy humanity" to generate hours and hours of, let's be generous, analyis by freshly minted experts is SLOP if not outright sensationalist.

Once you look past Cory Doctorow's "debate me" demeanour he does make some interesting points regarding A.I hype. youtu.be/xElxVGCNc18?...

RIP Bob Mackie.

Historic.

Every smug EV poster should be required to: 1. explain how the math works out as far as car cost, charging setup/logistics and insurance is concerned. 2. How EVs are better than public transit.

Maybe if every one who won anything was as chill as Elena Rybakina maybe the world would be a better place.

Blueskyers, whaddya think? Moi? I really wanted it be Big Foe in the finals. Shelton, otoh, has has a whiff of celebrity christian and patriotic chest thumping that is off putting.

Re: Mamdani greeting Giuliani. The last time America focused on Rudy's right hand it was down his pants in that hotel room.

Okay everyone. Here’s the YouTube interview with @jimmykimmel.com and @jamestalarico.bsky.social You know what to do. Watch it. Share it. Donate. Bury them. youtu.be/WLDE9LrGpNk?...

This would be good time for L.A. Metro to flood social media with transit info AND run higher frequencies where possible.
