La Décapitation de saint Georges, Bernat Martorell, 1430
This is a thing that's indeed happening!
Oh, please. On a lot of teams guys never make it to first base.
my mentions have started getting really weird
It’s the 1970s again. A multiyear span of smaller, fewer, blander and shoddier.
16-hour work days. Child labor. Tainted “medicine.” Contaminated food. And the prevailing legal principle was “caveat emptor.” If a boiler explosion severed your arm during a train trip, that was your tough luck.
Love it that any random diner in NYC greets you with a bottle of Cholula
Trump’s painted into a corner and channeling Ralph Kramden: “Taco-ma taco-ma taco-ma.”
Does anyone really think L.A.’s 2028 Olympics will go on as planned?
I remember, fondly, when it was.
Oh lord. I think I’m dune here.
This remake is not nearly as good as the original, which starred Jerry Brown and Linda Ronstadt.
Actually, the Nick Adams of “The Rebel” would be a better choice, even if he is dead.
He will repeat his statehood for Canada mantra whenever attention is focused on his big bill or any other MAGA initiative that the public detests. Look past it.
'The New American Gothic', Oil on Canvas by Criselda Vásquez
The bitter poetry of our times.
When past is present: Ansel Adams, "People walking, Manzanar Relocation Center," 1943. From my perambulations around the website of the Library of Congress. www.loc.gov/pictures/ite...
William Rogers comes to mind. But at least he tried to look busy.
Penny Marshall accidentally stepped on my foot in an office lobby. She apologized immediately and emphatically.
Today in "Is Los Angeles Burning?": No.
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
I’ll note that the North Pacific Ocean, which covers much of the globe, isn’t very useful as a locator.
My burning question for this week's edition of Art Insider for @kcrw.com: will the Lucas Museum be the Jar Jar Binks of LA museums? email.kcrw.com/the-jar-jar-...
It definitely played a role in my case. That is, it played a role because I couldn’t find a roll.

"They beep as they back out of charging spots, and beep as they reverse to navigate around each other. They beep in the morning as they head out to pick up early passengers, and beep late at night as they return to charge up." @salhernandez.bsky.social www.latimes.com/california/s...
Exactly.
Of course they did.

Sunrise. Mt. Hood. Air Alaska flight, December 2024. One gorgeous mountain.
Executives have gone to jail for less.
“And you’re still wrong.”
If he can play Wordle without breaking a commandment or two, that’s impressive.
Yes, thank you. That was driving me nuts.
If he can be exiled there, I’m all for it.
My smart oven is smart enough to know that if shuts off halfway through the baking process, it doesn’t have to work as hard.
Now that I know what it is, it’s a far more pleasant word than I would have expected.

Lemme go dust off my Whip Inflation Now button.
I'm personally offended by the idea that I need an LLM to help me overuse em dashes
Universities in the Big Ten are moving toward adopting a mutual-defense compact (an academic NATO, of sorts) to combat Trump’s actions against them. Are there any UC campuses interested in joining this initiative?
The Nuremberg Trials would’ve been a lot easier if Nazis had taken selfies at their camps
Love the idea. Until I share a trail with one.
Evidently, he was a PATH finder.
⚠️ 🪫 So if you, like me, are now wondering, “Well, how DO you safely dispose of 1 million pounds of highly flammable lithium-ion batteries?” then boy, do I have the story for you. (It involves a large machine named Pork Roll, manufactured in New Jersey.) My latest: www.latimes.com/california/s...
Me too
And we don't even have trains running on time!
“many organizations have scrubbed their websites to remove any reference to DEI. The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said.” www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
Well, he’s the expert on screwing.
I never thought I would say that the WSJ's front page better reflects where we are right now than the NYT's but here we are
I have spent a good chunk of the last two months writing about fire debris removal and I'd like to thank Equipment World for providing this invaluable resource www.equipmentworld.com/page/just-wh...
“Signalgate” doesn’t begin to cover the breadth of this debacle. Perhaps the “Blabbermouth Affair.” Or, if you prefer something more dignified, “L’affaire Blabbermouth.”
I'm going to be moderating what I expect/intend will be a fascinating session at the L.A. Times Festival of Books titled Friend of My Mind with writers Steve Wasserman, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Viet Thanh Nguyen, and Glory Edim. It's Sunday, April 27, at 10:30. Details here:
Everything is terrible so here are some chihuahua-themed cookies
“You seem like such an affable, kind, nice man,” Morgan said, her voice hesitant. “But I am so angry. I am so scared. I feel our democracy is in danger. ... I wish you’d be angry.” My story on Democrats in Congress facing rage from their constituents at town halls: www.latimes.com/politics/sto...
Same. Spotted towhee.
