Geez, supporters section tickets are priced crazy for this LAFC/Club América preseason game tonight. I hope that we don't end up with América fans in the north end, could you imagine?

Watching Carry-On, the Netflix thriller about TSA agents or something (just started it). One of the LAX managers said “lets keep things moving, I want you to ticket anybody who parks for longer than a minute.” I honest-to-god laughed out loud.

I’m a strong advocate for more housing in my home town of Santa Monica, but I will admit that I’ve always been a bit bothered by Santa Monica showing such a high vacancy rate (it seems to hover around 10%.)

I guess it’s time for that gum I like to come back into style.

My decades-late watch of Deep Space 9 has finally arrived at the part of the series that I’ve always heard is some of the best Star Trek of that era. It good, and my wife (not a Trek fan generally) absorbed enough being around me watching it that she’s been sucked in too, much to her chagrin.

What is up with this dude on the sidelines of my son’s rugby game that is just cranking reggae from his phone?

Peacock is so close to getting it right. I open the app, the show I am currently watching is the first icon on the home screen. Clicking into it shows a button “Watch S1 E10”, my correct place in the show. But clicking that button always shows S1 E1 and it’s been like this for like half a year.

Paraphrasing a former YIMBY Santa Monica council member: The diehard NIMBYs disagree with pro-housers on a philosophical/ideological level. They are mutually exclusive visions for the future of the city. You cannot compromise, you can only out organize

I hope that this signing happening before the Expansion Draft combined with the Angel trade is evidence that LAFC has successfully dodged the draft for this year.

I really think a state permitting office is a good idea. We already have state level laws for ADUs that insist that localities permit certain building types. It would be great if homeowners could go directly to the state to permit buildings that are legal under state law.
