Another thing Spain gets right? Plastic bottle caps that stay connected to the bottle.

Not sure if LA can handle the Olympics until we bring in the Spaniards to design us a proper transit system

Challenge: your flight is delayed and you can’t remember the original departure time. You’re flying to Tulsa. What is your gate number?

These traitors are dismantling all of our defenses.

Evidence of the blocked traffic:

First time seeing one of these dumb little delivery bots in Long Beach and it got itself stuck in the crosswalk, blocking traffic

At the Collins & Katz YMCA in Santa Monica (near #PalisadesFire zone) they are seeking priority #donations for the items on this list.

From experience, I know they are *not* looking for sequined dresses, used underwear, or RC car controllers.

Fumbling with my phone camera and binoculars, I got this shot of the moon just before Mars (lower left) hid behind it. Fun to see!

The bone-dry leaves and branches I saw layering the streets in Pasadena yesterday imply that “brush clearing” would’ve done next to nothing to stop the fires, given those winds.

There are two canines inside you…

Purple Air is an amazing tool to understand air quality on the ground. But when there are coverage gaps - like in South Central LA - how do people know what’s going on on their block?

Jimmy Carter really did make much of the US National Park Service into what it is today.

As a character in the film Spirited, Blake Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds did the same stuff this PR team did.

Except Spirited is a musical repackaging of A Christmas Carol where the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future show him that manipulating PR to ruin someone’s life is bad, actually.

This gap in data coverage is everywhere. We know realtime PM2.5 readings by block for some places, but have *nothing* for much of south LA.

It wouldn’t take much analysis, funding, or relationship building to fix this. There just needs to be a will to do so.

oh look - three dumpsters in a row

Texas is a failed state.
