Nobody knows anything. Help people know things. You can win.

Fires. The military occupation. The ongoing paramilitary occupation. Repeated attacks on peaceful demonstrations by local cops. Continued hardships as the studios don't do more production in the city. Los Angeles is struggling this year. This win means a lot.

I’m ashamed I didn’t realize there was an Orange St and an Orange Dr!

Hey look there’s not a lot of work out there for a de blasio impersanotor these days

Shot from above of a young person writing a holiday card

Was feeling down until the middle schooler in the family asked if she could take over writing holiday cards for @justdetention.bsky.social - has been sitting here for an hour (writing on top of @eveewing.bsky.social ’s excellent book!) The young people are ok.

I think about this so much, in LA in particular. Pay people a living wage and build housing!

I just set up a recurring donation to the LA Regional Food Bank in honor of my mom, who died homeless. I should have done it years ago, but better late than never. Please join me here, or at the food bank of your choice secure.lafoodbank.org/site/Donatio...

Dammit. Can I take it to throw myself on the pylons?

Is LAWA just three construction firms in a trench coat?

Will I be able to take this new freeway to walk into the fucking sea? What are we doing!

Why stop there!

Look, I’m excited about the sweep fan side but employee side is enraged cause they’re gonna cancel my minimum wage shift tomorrow.

We had a tentative contract that not only raised pay significantly, but guaranteed pay for short notice cancelled shifts. That’s not happening because of union busting.

Adam Rose, press rights chair at the Los Angeles Press Club, told LAist in a written statement, “Karen Bass is quick to run to the media for attention to criticize Trump for violating court orders (rightfully so!), but when the media is assaulted by her own LAPD, she never says a word.”

“I am shocked — shocked! — by the gambling going on in this saloon.”

thanks! wonder if that’s in line with everyone else. It’s all pretty bleak, regardless of who is bleakest!

I think they’ve lost a ton of subscribers in 2025 too though, which isn’t captured here

saaaaaame. And notably fewer neighborhood fireworks this year, I think we have a lot of company

I know people are freaked out by the arrival of troops in blue cities but I can tell you that here in LA, the worst abuses that happened this summer didn’t come from them. They were mostly here for show. The big ugliness came from local law enforcement.

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).

If you have time, give it a try?

Many many times I’ve contemplated starting my own literary publication or imprint, but this is the first that’s got me fantasizing about being a book distributor.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims agent said, 'Do something b----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney alleged...

It's not, like, some minor paperwork mistake. If this is correct, ICE rammed a woman's car, threatened her derisively, shot her, and then wrote up a report claiming she drove at them.

Someone prosecute someone for perjury someday please.

This is a very funny picture to someone obligated to spend a lot of time in la city council chambers
