Again, I'm thinking of this passage from @taffyakner.bsky.social's Fleishman Is In Trouble which made me sob the first time I read it years ago.
“It was like those T-shirts all my daughter’s friends were wearing to school now, the ones that said THE FUTURE IS FEMALE in big block letters. How they march around in broad daylight in shirts like that. But the only reason it’s tolerated is that everyone knows it’s just a lie we tell to girls to make their marginalization bearable. They know that eventually the girls will be punished for their futures, so they let them wear their dumb message shirts now.” ― Taffy Brodesser-Akner, Fleishman Is in Trouble

Oh that's funny...I was driven to listen to "Ladies of the Canyon" on this rainy LA morning.
Probably an ad for Joni Mitchell's album Ladies of the Canyon.

"Matter-of-act" is not an actual phrase, right @nytopinion.nytimes.com?

His delivery — mechanical, matter-of-act — masks the gravity of the moment: The binder is filled with potential targets on the other side of the globe for U.S. nuclear-tipped missiles. But the viewer never knows with certainty, not really, if the missile hits its mark in the United States or if the president responded in kind. The film is

Has there been any discussion about the prospect of a Mamdani baby? I mean, look at this cutie.

Never let it be said that Trump and the GOP care about Americans being able to put food on the table. While binging on luxuries most people can't afford.

I guess that was his strategy when he needlessly demolished Bonwit Teller before its art deco friezes could be removed and moved to the Met. news.artnet.com/art-world/do...
Ashton Hawkins, vice president and secretary of the board of trustees of the Met, was among those outraged and told The New York Times in June 1980: “How extraordinary. I know that there was an offer of a gift in the event that the objects could be saved. I would think that would be sufficient to guide them in their actions. We are certainly very disappointed and quite surprised.” Hawkins dismissed with a single sentence Trump’s argument that the sculptures had no value: “Can you imagine the museum accepting them if they were not of artistic merit?” “The reliefs are as important as the sculptures on the Rockefeller building,” elaborated the gallerist Robert Miller, who had assessed the reliefs earlier. “They’ll never be made again.”

Sure seems like his dream of shooting protestors in the legs is right around the corner. www.npr.org/2022/05/09/1...
"The president was enraged," Esper recalled. "He thought that the protests made the country look weak, made us look weak and 'us' meant him. And he wanted to do something about it. "We reached that point in the conversation where he looked frankly at [Joint Chiefs of Staff] Gen. [Mark] Milley and said, 'Can't you just shoot them, just shoot them in the legs or something?' ... It was a suggestion and a formal question. And we were just all taken aback at that moment as this issue just hung very heavily in the air."

Seems like the plot of Mountainhead - which seemed a bit far-fetched just a few months ago - is totally possible. Not great.

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."

Jesus. It was a piece in the MMWR in 1981 that alerted doctors around the country to a strange pneumonia occurring in gay men in LA. The beginning of the AIDS epidemic. This is just awful.

I hate this news. Diane Keaton brought an honesty and a lovely quirkiness to every role. A legend.

I'm getting tired of this phrase....
"In response, Ben-Gvir questioned, “Would you have made peace with Hitler? Hamas is Hitler. They want to murder us.” In the meeting, Kushner told the Israeli ministers that "We’ve made a deal here that isolates Hamas and encourages actors in the Arab world to pursue peace. This agreement ensures Israel’s security," he added. "If we need to act with force, we will. It will either happen the easy way or the hard way."

This really feels like a canary in a coal mine moment. In other news, anxiously waiting for my kid's new passport to arrive.
"The furor grew after Fox News reported on the petition. Dr. Bray’s home address was revealed on social media. He received several death threats, including one vowing to kill him in front of his students. He notified campus and local police, but with two young children, he and his wife, who is also a Rutgers professor, decided that it would be safer to relocate to Spain and teach remotely, at least for this academic year, he said. Because of the last-minute drama at the airport, the family missed its flight. Dr. Bray said the airline rebooked them on another flight for Thursday. He said he was hoping for the best. “I may sound conspiratorial, but I don’t think it is a coincidence,” he added. “We’re at a hotel and we’re just going to try again.”

Who's next? Maybe this awful person who, if memory serves, won a defamation lawsuit and got a ton of $.
Nicholas Sandmann gained public attention in 2019 as a student at Covington Catholic High School following a viral video of a confrontation at the Lincoln Memorial. As of October 2025, he is working in Washington, D.C., for the Senate Republican Conference.
