Andor is just incredible television. What a finale!

Episodes 7-9 of Andor are the best TV this year and in my opinion the best Star Wars maybe ever.

That Buick is looking extra crisp

I don't believe a damn thing thats happening in the first half of this episode of Super Bowl. Mahomes is up to something.

I needed this news today. 💙🤍

Luka seems dazed in his first Lakers press conference.

Cancelling awards season would do much more harm than good. So many jobs are tied to these productions. There are ways to let the show go on while still acknowledging the tragedy and helping lift up the city. The people of Los Angeles need this.

Los Angeles is experiencing its driest winter since drought data started being recorded in 1850. Historic tinderbox dry conditions, made worse by a warming planet, combined with hurricane force winds. That's the answer your looking for.

I'm down in the Valley but hear the helicopters going to and from VNY from my house. Watching them on local news and Flightradar with awe. The crews attacking the Palisades Fire from the air and ground in the dark and holding the line at Mandeville Canyon above Encino are absolute heroes.

This is no joke. I've never seen a wind event like this. Having covered wildfire for decades, I know exactly how fast it moves in normal Santa Ana events, but this? This is crazy. Assume the worst. Prepare.

I've lived in Los Angeles for 28 years and I have never seen a wind event like this in all that time.

The City of LA says the Palisades Fire has now reached over 700 acres

LAFD is literally bulldozing abandoned cars on Palisades Drive to clear a path for fire crews.

Cannot overstate the seriousness of this fire storm. #news #wildfire

LAFD Spokesperson Margaret Stewart is urging drivers to not leave their vehicles on the roads amid reports that some evacuees may be abandoning their cars along Palisades Drive – a major evacuation artery.

KEY POINT - There are very few roads in and out of the evacuation zone, so road congestion is a major concern as residents try to flee and emergency crews rush toward the flames.

An evacuation center has been set up at the Westwood Recreation Center according to LAFD

The order encompasses an area along the coast between Topanga Beach and Will Rogers Beach and stretches northward into the hills of Topanga State Park, according to a map from the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Mandatory evacuation orders are in places for Pacific Palisades residents as the wildfire there has exploded from 20 acres to 200 acres in less than two hours.

The Palisades fire in Los Angeles looks really bad.

As a Rams fan, thank you Washington!

A nuclear reactor was melting down. Jimmy Carter came to the rescue. In 1952, Lt. Jimmy Carter, then 28, was one of the few people in the world qualified to enter a damaged nuclear reactor and help take it apart.

My favorite part of Jimmy Carters amazing story. A truly selfless American. RIP Mr. President.

Phew

Zeros in the first quarter against the Cardinals. Love my LA Rams but even if they pull out a win tonight, I’m not sure they are a good playoff team. A team ready for the playoffs would be easily beating the Cardinals.

HBO's Yacht Rock doc on Max is fantastic. Can't recommend it enough. My son is a drummer and the late Chet McCracken of the Doobie Brothers is one of his former teachers and it just blows me away my kid learned from one of the many incredible band and session musicians who live in Los Angeles.

Everyone hates LAX but one of thing is undeniable, flights take off and land on-time. I don't really care about the rest of it.

Los Angeles is my home, I’ve lived here a very long time. LA is my favorite place but I can acknowledge that’s a poorly run city and always has been regardless of the political ideology of its leadership. Its geography and fabulously diverse, creative and hardworking citizenry are why it thrives.
