Apparently AG Pam Bondi hasn’t been to Culver City since they removed the bike lanes.
Wait one damn minute, I need to speak on this.

@kamlager-dove.house.gov read AG Pam Bondi the riot act over the DOJ scrubbing data on right wing extremists from the website.

Bondi’s response: “Her district includes Culver City and she’s not talking about… stopping crime in her district.”

Here’s the #1 reason Broadcast is so much better than Streaming. It’s the most efficient & cheapest way to get Audio, Video, & Data from a single point to the masses. It’s how listen to Dave Denholm call the @lafcmirror.bsky.social game on @espnlosangeles.bsky.social @bmostadium.bsky.social

Jon Bon Jovi is from New Jersey. Why is he introducing the Patriots. Couldn’t they find a real Masshole to do the honors? Where are Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Chris Evans, or even Conan O’Brien, he needs the work.

I used to know how to solder. My mentors in college taught me very well, but in the intervening years, something has happened. Even though I watch videos & see folks able to neatly rewire a circuit board with a little bit of flux, solder & an iron in seconds, I guess I need a little more practice.

Mail more letters and postcards. Please.
NEW: The U.S. Postal Service — which generally receives no tax dollars to keep running and relies on stamp and service fees — posted a net loss of $1.3 billion in this fiscal year’s first quarter, which includes its busiest season in December 2025, CFO Luke Grossmann told USPS' governing board

Adam is becoming one of my favorite journalists to read/hear/watch. I realize most of his Atlantic articles are behind a paywall, like the one I posted on MLK Day, it’s worth your while to go to your local library‘s website to gain access to the Atlantic, it’s well worth the effort. Or subscribe.

I can't decide whether it's Deja Vu Day, Groundhog Day, Sonny and Cher Day or Earworm Day. If you decide to celebrate any or all of those, I wish you joy in doing so. However, I'll be over here celebrating National Tater Tot Day.

The only way to watch a sports ball game is to listen to the play by play from the radio. They’re rooting for who you’re rooting for. That goes to for the other team too. #Seahawks #Rams @seattlesports710.bsky.social @espnlosangeles.bsky.social @931jackfm.bsky.social

TIL McDonald’s doesn’t sell jugs of milk to Adults anymore. The only way to get one is as your beverage selection when you order a Happy Meal. My Sausage McMuffin with egg this Morning wasn’t as good with oj as it would have been with milk. #ItDoesYourBodyGood

The reason for the onion buns was to make a roast beef sandwich. Now I gotta figure out how to make the buns more onion-y

The onion buns are done.

On this MLK Jr Day be mindful of the following:
“Believing in racial equality in the abstract and supporting policies that would make it a reality are two different things. Most white Americans have long professed the former, and pointedly declined to do the latter.”

The New Reconstruction — The Atlantic
The United States has its best opportunity in 150 years to belatedly fulfill its promise as a multiracial democracy.

My wife and I are trying to figure out who this song describes better, her or me.
