I’ve lived in West Hollywood for 20 years and my only regret is that I cannot vote for Nithya Raman for mayor of Los Angeles. Help make LA a better city, vote for change, vote for Nithya.

For your consideration: A mayor who will fight for LA, every day. Catch this ad on NBC tonight, before and after the Emmys.

They say every day is a gift. I wish they came with receipts, because there are some I would like to return for credit.

when the ABA & NBA merged, the owners of the St Louis ABA team rejected a $3 million offer to give up their team instead, they negotiated a deal for 2.2 million + a perpetual sliver of the NBA TV rights which ended up paying over $300 million but then lost it all investing with Bernie Madoff

I had an adventure! Got to meet Noah Wyle and watch him read a Star Trek episode as Captain Kirk, it was pretty cool. A lot of The Pitt cast, and some Marvel folks too! You can watch it too for a little while if you want: watch.thirdbest.tv/products/wgf...

Not used to seeing lights next to the Hollywood sign! What’s going on? @laist.com @lamaterial.com

My ratatouille rat is making me fight someone else also controlled by a ratatouille rat Me and the other guy have no beef, only the rats are enemies and we have no idea why. While punching with limbs no longer our own, we lock eyes with mutual grief and compassion, forgiving whoever kills the other

Apropos of nothing, I have learned today that the German word for pre-moistened lens wipes is “brillenputztücher”. Now you know that too, and we are all better for it.

THERE IS NO LONGER TIMED AUTOSAVE IN MS OFFICE APPS LIKE WORD. ONLY VERSIONING THROUGH ONEDRIVE/SHAREPOINT. IF YOU SAVE TO A LOCAL DISK OR OTHER CLOUD FILE SYSTEM LIKE GOOGLE OR ICLOUD YOU MUST MANUALLY SAVE YOUR WORK LIKE ITS 1982.

I don’t know if it’s hope that I act on or if, just because I’m a cheerful hobbit I’m alright as long as despair can be postponed.

Me, you, and Albert Camus…

Hey you know when it’s great when someone gets their flowers, this is that. Before the podfathers there was a podmother. Also Jackie is aces and you should read this.

a strange and apocalyptic feeling in the air today.

what if while trump is courtside victor wembanyama just leans down and eats his whole head. gulps the whole thing down tootsie pop owl style. and then explains that’s why he was sent here, blinks his eyes sideways and flies out of MSG and away into the night sky

if the people who say "just listen to your body" had to listen to mine for 15 minutes they would lose their goddamned minds

Two days in a row now, military helicopters flying low over Los Angeles with no ADS-B transponders, they’re not showing up on Flight Radar 24 app at all. Have to say I don’t love it.

“White Knuckles” by OK Go is an absolutely perfect Prince song. No further questions at this time.

Get off Substack, Substack is a bad company and if you are generating content on their platform, you are helping them say look, we're not that bad, when they are in fact that bad.

I’m incredibly proud to support The American Prospect. I guarantee anything important you read today about politics, technology, or finance, The American Prospect had it three months ago. They’re worth your money, and even more dear, they’re worth your limited and valuable attention.

He’s talking himself into using nuclear weapons.

The fences are down on the West Ridge Trail at Runyon! Yay! The little Survivor tree is doing well! The trail from Wattles Garden Park to the south peak of West Ridge is still closed but I’m not sure how much a laminated piece of paper is going to keep people off of it.
