Be sure to also note @adamrose.bsky.social's assessment of why declaring an unlawful assembly to shut down a bar DURING THE FINAL GAME OF THE WORLD SERIES sets a chilling precedent: “Using unlawful assembly this way is like pre-crime or thought-crime enforcement"

are you proud of the work you've made this year? what was new that you're glad you tried? what do you want to do more of next year?

The very same airport where we just spent $2 billion on the people mover — actually, more like $3 billion, plus another $900 million if you count Metro's investment in the LAX station; so let's just say $4 billion — to make cars go away
