The 30ish mustache-guy who passed me at 7:05 AM walking his large rescue dog on my block while drinking at store-bought coffee and listening, headphoneless to @seanfennessey.bsky.social on his phone is as much to LA what a mime eating a baguette is to Paris.
Dude!

Los Angeles! I'm doing a cool event at UCLA this Thursday. Telling a few stories, signing my new paperback, and having an on-stage conversation about memory with neuroscientist @deanbuono.bsky.social and the philosopher, Pamela Hieronymi. www.eventbrite.com/e/the-poetic...
My favorite thing is that if we take Trump at his word, the notion that he thought it was an image of him as a doctor is more damning than him just being a troll about Jesus. A traffic cop could hold up that picture and if the driver says it’s an image of a doctor they automatically get a DUI.

I just spent more for a gallon of gas than I’ve ever spent in my life but at least it’s for a good, well defined, certainly achievable, set of reasons determined after a thorough deliberative process lead by a sober and wise President.
Area between the zoo and the train that’s like a loop with the carousel in one corner and the playgrounds in the other.
Just learned that one of the Artemis astronauts listens to podcasts while in space.
People forget how that all really took off with the whole cable piece
Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.
Perhaps the only instance in recent memory in which I just said “I could do that” about a professional athlete and was correct.
Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead.

You’re stepping on my Legal Seagulls. My lawyer says the Redford estate can’t sue if I’m using AI to put his face on a bird.
A month ago, my father-in-law called Patti Smith one of our greatest Americans which surprised me. Asked him why. “She can do all that downtown art BS while living off John McEnroe’s money? That’s America.”
I live in the lovely, poorly pronounced neighborhood of Los Feliz. If you don’t know, you can barely guess how it’s pronounced.
I’m Pretty-in-the-Field, sadly I don’t spent much time in the field these days, what with everything going on
Called my state reps just now to suggest legislation changing the Chavez holiday to April 10th, the day the Delano Marchers crossed the Sacramento River in 1966. Those marchers, like Dolores Huerta, are American heroes worth celebrating.
Replace all Cesar Chavez Avenues and statues with Dolores Huertas. Fuck that anti-immigrant pedophile rapist piece of shit.

Los Angeles, city of whimsy.
