AI’s primary corpus is clearly Robert Pollard’s song titles
Los Angeles is trying to avoid HLA by claiming that it is “restriping without making other improvements” when, in fact, it’s making many other changes across multiple projects. This behavior must stop. Read the letter we sent to the Mayor, LADOT, and the Board of Public Works
Truer words have never been spoken: "road rage is one of the dumbest reasons to fight." Oh and P.S. don't fight anyone!
One thing missing today... The person WHO ABSOLUTELY SHOULD be here is in ... Rhode Island. 😢 So we dialed up @_KennyUong_ -- because LA's top transit advocate deserves a tour!
Another banger from Diego. What could this have been about, anyway? It's on a pickleball court. Don't fight anyone!

Someone who normally drives chose to take public transportation. Congestion pricing works.
Normally my commute from Rockaway is about a hour and 15 minutes by car in the morning (it’s much less at night). Today, google maps said it would take an hour and three minutes. 12 minutes saved isn’t worth the $9 to me - so on the ferry I go.
OK, yes, that's very LA
Today I was crossing Hollywood and Highland, where peds & tourists cheered a just-married couple celebrating in the middle of the intersection while a fire ravaged a strip mall down the street. I've lived in LA my whole life, and this is the most LA candid I've ever snapped.
Highly recommend
Open a book and scream into it for fun

I don’t do any fighting/MMA stuff and just love this as general life wisdom
This is so good
'Hopefulness is not a neutral position. It is adversarial. It is the warrior emotion that can lay waste to cynicism. Each redemptive or loving act, as small as you like – such as reading to your little boy... keeps the Devil down in the hole.' Nick Cave.
This is the future of LA. Thank you @HugoForCD13
Access to Hollywood is already transforming Hollywood Blvd. With 2.1 miles of protected bike lanes — the first in all of CD13 — we’re making the streets safer and giving people more options to get around this city. Come check it out for yourself!
A great new episode of #knowviolence where there is in fact #noviolence!
