LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot?
Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's change that and finally cool things down for everyone.

It’s moving, but where are the people?
This project was supposed to open over three years ago and is almost $1 billion over budget. What went wrong?
The project’s contractor, LINXS, has essentially been extorting the city for years. Now Mayor Bass’ Airport Commissioners are making YOU pay for it by tripling fees on Uber and Lyft rides.

one person is 10x'ing their output with Claude while the rest of the org is busy dealing with the resulting mess
I talk to engineers at other companies every day and hear the same thing: one person is 10x'ing their output with Claude but the rest of the org hasn't caught up.
Watching teams adopt AI, I keep seeing the same 4 steps.
I mapped them out here: Steps of AI Adoption claude.ai/code/artifact/bfdf…

My favourite firework video on the internet is this one, where 45 minutes worth of fireworks are accidentally detonated all at once on July 4th 2012 in San Diego. I had tears in my eyes, sobbing the first time I saw this. The sound is magnificent. It's the end of days.

It’s hard to believe but this is a picture of the United States reflecting pool before the revolution happened. The US was once a very westernized country

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen an octogenarian drug addict blow 16M on Reflecting Pool reno cause he gave a no bid gov’t contract to a guy who looks like he sold quaaludes to The Riddler & then blame the algae bloom on a 350 ft boxcutter attack by underwater Antifa before?

Good public transit is key for an affordable, walkable city. That's why I'm riding the D on election day. @metrolosangeles

Tom Steyer: “I’m totally in favor of trans athletes in high school. When you understand the vulnerability, the stress, the danger of being a trans kid and you understand almost half of them try to commit suicide. Then you think we’re gonna punish those kids, we’re gonna cut them off from team sport. It’s like, no we’re not”

“Why don’t you just eat fucking ramen everyday? Just eat peanut butter and ramen for 50 years dumbass and invest all your money into the pico top of the gayest most fragile empire in history you dumbass idiot. Just starve and eat shit and dirt everyday for your entire life and then you can spend $30 on lunch when you’re old and about to die it’s simple. Don’t you know your 20’s are for grinding?? You’re supposed to eat shit for the majority of your life that’s why your ancestors built America. So you could eat shit and fucking die moron.”

I think a lot of people don't know that LAX is owned by the City of LA with a board appointed by the mayor and that Karen Bass hasn't done jack shit to fix the people mover project.
Ballots are going out now. Vote for Nithya Raman for a city that works.

Why is Los Angeles spending millions of dollars fighting to block affordable housing during a housing crisis?
We have the highest rent burdened population in America, the result of years of decisions motivated by politics rather than the needs of Angelenos.
That ends when I’m mayor.

Driving is the MOST government-dependent form of transportation.
You’re using a state-issued license to operate a state-registered machine on 100% state-owned land, subsidized by taxpayers.
Freedom is not needing a government permission slip & 40k machine to get around.

Liza Minnelli has outlived Viktor Orbán’s brutal reign in Hungary — ending in a crushing defeat at the ballot box.

If those astronauts go around the moon and can find no trace of Lisa Stansfield’s baby then I really think that’s it, we’ve exhausted all lines of enquiry
