Before Sunrise and Before Sunset are two spectacular films that are almost entirely conducted while walking through Vienna and Paris respectively. Such promenades give such a wonderful sense of the cities and add an intimacy to the conversations to the films.

I picked a good day to head back to Los Angeles.

This is absolutely real. The current HBO Max version of this "Mad Men" episode "remastered for 4K" did not include an updated visual effects shot, which originally painted out the crew and equipment. Not just that, the HBO Max episode titles/order is jumbled for s01.

On a rainy night in L.A. I’m taking the #4 bus, which travels through downtown Beverly Hills. There many people on the bus who are clearly unhoused and have nowhere else to go. It is a cruel irony that we do so little for them as they travel through one of the richest cities in the world.

second verse on this is one of the funniest things i've ever heard

Love this article about what it was actually like to be at game 7 of the World Series.

Fantastic article!

Op-Ed: West Hollywood’s inclusionary housing update misses the economic moment On Monday night, the West Hollywood City Council will consider major changes to its Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, one of the city’s most significant housing policy debates in years. The proposed upd...

Well reasoned article by Joshua Baum arguing that @wehocity.bsky.social’s requirements for below market rate apartment units are counterproductive. #WeHo #urbanism

Such a great analogy! But T2 is more apt. The T-1000 (in this metaphor the Blue Jays) was the more adaptable and powerful robot, but consistently failed at every crucial moment. The more robotic response, the T-800 (really straining this metaphor to make Arnold the Dodgers) survived to win.

I was one of the columnists who left the Post after owner Jeff Bezos demanded the Opinion section largely focus on “personal liberties and free markets." Yes, they’re under pressure. But maybe these leaders kinda like what Trump’s doing.

Not only is this fascinating research about the actual mechanisms that allow our brains to maintain memories, but this is spectacular scientific reporting.

@ajdinahalilovic.bsky.social wrote an engaging article that clearly explains a very complex topic.

MLB.tv has been terrible this year. Long and frequent buffering hangs. Games randomly restarting. Today the Twins broadcast started in the 6th inning.

What’s his tipple?

Shohei Ohtani at bat Dodgers vs. White Sox

At every Dodgers game I’ve attended this year (all two of them) Ohtani has hit a home run so if they want to give me season tickets that would be great for all involved.

Fantastic that not only is @underworldlive.bsky.social playing the Hollywood Palladium, but they actually have reasonably priced tickets, which is a rarity these days. Should be a great show!

Just a reminder going forward...

@mnaurorafc.bsky.social What’s the deal with changing the time of the match at the last minute and then refusing refunds to the fans who can’t attend at the the later time? That’s no way to treat your fans!
