I've been in LA nearly 30 years and I still forget every year that summer never actually starts here till August and fall doesn't kick in till Thanksgiving. When July is beautiful while the rest of the country bakes, we get so smug. We never learn.

Last night at the Hollywood Bowl I heard a classical piece for the first time that moved me deeply; not sure how I missed it before: Ralph Vaughan Williams's "The Lark Ascending." Incredible how so much beauty can flow from a single instrument.

Newest obsession: the YouTube subgenre of "work/study/chill with me" videos that feature hours-long music mixes while people literally film themselves working/studying/hanging together. And if you're into folk/tribal house music, it's 10x better, trust.

Nerd moment:

1. The curfew area in DTLA is over 7 square miles, not 1. This is repeatedly misstated, which isn't a big deal ultimately but speaks to the utter lack of fact checking by local news.

2. "less lethal" and "less-than-lethal" have VERY different meanings. Get it right. Ugh.

Trump asks Congress to wipe out funding for public broadcasting President Trump is asking lawmakers to claw back the $1.1 billion in federal subsidies for public broadcasting that Congress approved earlier this year. His request also includes cuts to foreign aid.

This is awful.
