Outside pick: FKA Twigs. Strikingly beautiful, a fashion icon, singer, choreographer and actor. Also weird and provocative.

I grew up playing youth hockey in LA. A lot of the other teams besides mine (Santa Monica) were in former sundown towns: Whittier, Norwalk, Tarzana, etc. We had a black defenseman, and I can tell you that if the players weren't racist, their parents sure as shit were. Hockey is a very white sport.

Im just saying that hockey players on the whole tend to be more conservative, and often racist. It's a very white sport, and if there are any fash Olympians, they're prob hockey players.

I played hockey throughout my life, growing up a lot of the youth teams were in former sundown towns. My team had the only 2 black players. There were def Nazi parents and players, in LA!

Also, they let Kash Patel in the dressing room (tho maybe not by choice?).

Any other sport, Silver or Bronze means you are among the best of the best. Losing a hockey game always sucks, but getting Silver at the Olympics has to be the worst 2nd place ever. At least with Bronze, you won your game.

When Prince did WMGGW at the Hall of Fame and threw his guitar off stage, it generated lots of discussion. Ive since seen that it's kinda his thing, taking his guitar off at the end of a set and tossing it. Which means "Prince's Guitar Catcher" was someone's job.

The key to cooking rice properly in a cooker is water:rice ratio. 1.2:1 for Japanese short grain, 1.3:1 for Calrose, 1.5:1 for Jasmine, and 1.75:1 for Basmati.

I think it's a dumb name too, but I don't make the rules and wasn't asked to be on the committee.

The issue is, if you actually follow him, then your feed is suddenly 70% him either telling what he's doing at that moment, or quote posting a since deleted skeet criticizing him and his 12 thread response as to why the poster is an idiot. It becomes unrelenting.

Pretty sure he meant Rahm/Ari

My spouse is one of those ppl that only remember the good happy things he's said/done, but doesn't pay enough attn to state policies to know he's a Clintonite 3rd way type.

I was impressed with Jon Ossoff's recent speech, and would be interested in seeing his pitch, should he make one.

The reason this debate is so annoying is that the only things that have ever been common to the whole nation are those things that have been marketed nationwide. Outside of entertainment and packaged goods, the thing that most IDs a "culture" is cuisine, and in the US, that is highly regional.

I grew up in Rustic, and back then there was a large extended Hispanic family living in a couple of old houses across from the school on Entrada and Amalfi. They were the last of the land grant families in the Canyon that had been there since long before white people were in LA.

On a side note, I'm glad to see @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social has already cleaned up the Soutreé St. station. That place was crumbling last time I was that far uptown.

Yeah! Arrest those PICE goons, throw them into your INU'NHURX squad cars and take 'em downtown.

Why does this article refer to the 911E as "electric"? Did the author mean that it's sportiness electrified people, or is the author AI that mistook the E to mean we had an electric sports car in 1970?

Or snort coke off them.

I will also attest that otters are the worst.

As for dolphins, is it the bully thing?

Dolphins used to rtde the waves in front of our apartment in college and cruise by our surf spots all the time. I love dolphins and if it's not the bully thing I'm not sure I wanna know.

Someone sometime soon, the progressive left is going to have to start talking about going Saudi on AI.

Nationalize ALL AI, instill export controls and use the revenue used to run all things to pay citizens a living wage. Offer green cards to anyone who will come here to build houses or infrastructure or who works in medicine, with a clear path to citizenship in 15 years.

Apocalypse Now during the LA Oscar qualifying Dec run. There were no end credits on the film and they handed them out on cards.

That summer 16yo me was at the opening weekends of Carrie, Alien and The Life of Brian.

Frame from the end credits of the 2026 Muppet Show, with Sabrina Carpenter, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo and a green and gold canabis flower.

Did Seth Rogan get/inspire a sensamilla flower muppet for the end credits?

I just saw a baby died bc their mother drank raw milk. People! You your grandmother's and all previous mothers had to BOIL milk every morning. They even had special double boilers! Pasteurization was just a time saver. If you buy raw you have to boil it.

Even so, after day five of whinging about the witness patrols I had to unfollow him. Just too much to keep scrolling past. Maybe I'll follow again in a few weeks.

Cali is the Donut State, though. Our Winchels style fluffy powdered sugars and dense buttermilk bars rule the world.

Vocally, but it stems from a deep antisemitism, a label we could attach to Pete Townsend also. Antisemitism is pretty default to Brits, across all class lines, in my experience.

Don't forget Pete Townsend. Not top disappointment for sure, and though I had known through my mentor he was an outspoken anti-semite (not unusual for working class Brits), the CP stuff was fucked up.

And to say the Persian dudes in Westwood having tacos at Baja Fresh, or the family from Ethiopia touring the Tar Pits haven't assimilated or aren't "American" is ludicrous. I just loathe that man. End rant.

Perhaps he was upset they weren't the muscle cars or garage built death traps of previous eras. Apart from the above story, SoCal, Millers home, is THE fucking melting pot of America! There are more languages spoken at home here than any other city on Earth.

Miller has to know this, it was his era growing up. He might have grown bitter and resentful when he was forced to live in Santa Monica's gangland during high school, but he couldn't fail to notice the kids whose parents' driving were once mocked, zipping through traffic in souped up rice rockets.
