Random late summer market fruit plate: strawberries, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, sliced nectarine with a little lime and salt, sliced figs topped with pistachio crumble and a bit of honey. All fresh from my Sunday farmers market in our blessed California Republic. 😋 #LosAngeles

Basically me for an era c. 2014, a USB drive necklace, a Blackberry, and a roadside pulque along the highway in Huitzilac, Morelos. #Mexico 🤩

Scenes of spontaneous pushback and direct action to prevent unlawful deportations are popping up everywhere. Two *lawful asylum seekers were snatched in Spokane. Local Dem council member posted a call to action on FB. A GOP commissioner pleads for relief. Incredible www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Never fully trust auto-correct.

It's 2025 and #Google is still guiding millions of people into mistakes in its handling of "its" and "it's". ⚠️ The AI here thinks "it's" is possessive like "Daniel's" but IT IS NOT. Dear god it is not ... I even gave it another chance (-) and.. 🤬 #somebodydosomething

Flames visible to naked eye from Kenneth Hahn park about 13 miles from #PalisadesFire - Smoke shrouding most beach cities and areas and now LAX.

You probably know what a torta is but do you know what a "drowned torta" is? That's a torta ahogada from Guadalajara, in which a carnitas sandwich is drenched in a fiery tomate sauce with loads of chile de arbol. Spicy as hell, phew! 🌶😭 This one is the best in LA. #Inglewood #mexicanfood #LosAngeles

So glad we have a film critic again @latimes.com - It's important for the city! And did you all notice that Amy Nicholson named DUNE2 the best film of 2024??? 👀

Her take on Zendaya's power is perfect. #Zendaya deserves an Oscar nod: Calling it! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
