Has there been any discussion about the prospect of a Mamdani baby? I mean, look at this cutie.
Picture of Mayor-Elect Mamdani when he was a kid. Cute as a button, even then.

The last 20 hostages are back home. And yet I can't help thinking about Hersh and all of the others who died in captivity. A bittersweet day.

I bet @awalkerinla.bsky.social and others will remember that Diane Keaton was deeply involved in the effort to save The Ambassador Hotel. She loved old LA as much as all of us and used her star power for good. May her memory be a blessing.
"We’ve treated old buildings like we once treated plastic shopping bags -- we haven’t reused them, and when we’ve finished with them, we’ve tossed them out. This has to stop. Preservation must stand alongside conservation as an equal force in the sustainability game. More older and historic buildings have to be protected from demolition, not only because it affects our pocketbooks but more important because it threatens our environment. Let’s face it, our free ride at the expense of the planet is over. I’ll never understand why architecture is considered a second cousin to painting and film. We’ve never been married to our romance with architecture. A building, unlike a canvas or a DVD, is a massive work of art with many diverse uses. We watch movies in buildings. We look at paintings on their walls. We pray in cathedrals. We live inside places we call homes. Home gives us faith in the belief of a well-lived life. When we tear down a building, we are wiping out lessons for the future. If we think of it that way, we will begin to understand the emotional impact of wasting the energy and resources used to build it in the first place."

As always, @wesleyanuniversity.bsky.social President @msroth.bsky.social cuts through all of the noise to clearly define what is so wrong with this moment: "We are being subject to a White House that thinks it can tell us what to do at every turn."

Mamdani has engaged thoughtfully with many of us in recent weeks and, as a result, said today he understands how harmfully Jews hear rhetoric like "globalize the intifada” & discouraged its use. There's much work ahead but these comments matter. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/b... @emmagf.bsky.social
For weeks, Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the New York City mayor’s race, has been under pressure to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada,” which is seen by some as a call to violence against Jews. It became an issue in the heat of the Democratic primary race when Mr. Mamdani, a critic of Israel’s war in Gaza, was asked in a podcast interview whether the phrase, which Palestinians and their supporters have called a rallying cry for liberation, made him uncomfortable and he refused to condemn it. But at a closed-door meeting with the city’s top business leaders on Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Mamdani said he would personally continue to not use the term and would “discourage” its use by others, according to three people who were familiar with his comments. Mr. Mamdani told the roughly 150 business executives that while many people used the term to express solidarity with Palestinians, some New Yorkers viewed it as a reference to violence against Israel, according to one of the people who were familiar with his comments.

Have we talked about how perfect Forever on Netflix is? Mara Brock Akil took Judy Blume's classic, transforming it into a show that's a coming-of-age love story somehow capturing exactly how teens & their parents are feeling in this magical & sometimes painful stage of life. And a love letter to LA!

One takeaway from this must-read from Garrett Graff: FEMA will most likely not be there for you if you've survived a hurricane, wildfire, or other disaster.

Now is the time to build or replenish your emergency kit and go-bags for your home, car, and workplace. www.ready.gov
