Rose Bowl traffic for PSG vs Atletico was the worst I’ve ever seen, LA is so not ready for World Cup and Olympics

Walking over to the DTLA protest now, the beautiful day and friendly crowd only marred by the menacing sounds of multiple helicopters overhead

This curfew is ridiculous, it’s totally fine right now in 99% of that area. Honestly the most disruptive thing all day has been the constant whine of helicopters and sirens from LAPD cars seemingly driving around in circles for no reason

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion about the effectiveness of protests, but when the numbers look like this, we shouldn’t be surprised that nobody in LA cares what Adam Schiff has to say about it

As with most difficult things in life, the trick to running a long way is being too stupid to stop

A Democratic Party that pledged to crack down on scammers (spam calls, identity theft, crypto schemes) would have both a popular message and an excellent foil in Donald Trump

Anyone have advice on whether it’s better to erase an Apple Watch you believe was stolen, or keep it in Lost Mode? I lost it yesterday in São Paulo, I’m now back in LA, and GPS shows it currently in Doha airport, so little hope of getting it back.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.

Felt an earthquake just as I was about to fall asleep and now I’m wide awake

Really struggling to think of a better metaphor for Trump’s second term than “Fyre Festival 2” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/25/s...

This “Gulf of America” stuff is obviously extremely stupid but on some level I’m glad to see these guys wasting time on pointless, easily-reversible renaming efforts. Every minute they spend on this is a distraction from their other activities, which are even worse.

There was a more innocent time not so long ago when it would have been a resignation-worthy scandal for the President to be involved in such a transparent scam, but this will barely get any attention. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u...
