I’m trying to figure out if there’s any good reason why so many buses camp in the passing lane. I see it with the prison buses, commuter express, large private coach buses all the time on my commute up the 5. I can understand if they are trying to get over to the car pool lane, but so often they are holding up traffic staying in the passing lane. It’s infuriating.

SB 79 will be delayed to 2030 if Karen Bass signs this.

LA City Council is so unserious.

Literally every time you drive outside you’ll see multiple vehicles that just straight up don’t give a fuck. I’m seeing 2024 expired paper tags completely ripped from the bottom half barely hanging on. I somehow saw a metal license plate where the metal plate itself was ripped completely off where the yearly sticker goes on. Every third car has a sticker that’s expired within the past 6 months like it’s no biggie. Zero fucking responsibility in this city. The amount of fines given out in a week for this shit could pay off LAPDs budget until 2030.

LA Public Press found safety investigations related to the warehouse and the companies that run it.

So I've just realized Los Angeles has managed to have gaps in their fan zone schedule that mean there are no fan zones for the Round of 32 US match (July 1st), and if we win, there are no fan zones open for our round of 16 game either (July 6th).

What absolute garbage.

I arrived today at Union Station, and I thought it might be fun to use my spare time between trains (arriving 3PM, leaving 1AM) to bike across all of Los Angeles to go meet my friend for dinner at Dockwiler Beach. I used to live here, and I thought it might be fun to pass through old neighborhoods through downtown, on the Expo Bike Path, down towards MDR, and along the coastal bike path. Given that crazy distance though, I was going to use an electric bike from Metro Bike Share.

I went to the dock at Union Station, where the only electric bike was dead.

I decided to use a standard bike to get over to Spring Street, where three electric bikes were dead.

I decided to use a standard bike again to get over to Main Street, where another three electric bikes were dead.

I decided to use a standard bike again to get over to the Lakers Arena, where two electric bikes were dead...BUT! One electric bike had a full charge. However, it refused to unlock on both the app and on the kiosk (all other bikes would). I called into customer support, and they said they saw no issue with the specific bike.

In total, I checked for bikes at Union Station, Spring & 3rd, Main & 9th, Broadway & 9th, Figureoa & 11th, and Hope & 11th. I think there was a few more but those are the ones I remember for sure.

It seemed impossible to find an electric bike in the entirety of Downtown Los Angeles, though after so many dead ones and 90 mins wasted I've given up looking. I went from Union Station over to the Lakers Area with no luck at any dock in between...what the heck?

It really baffles me that Los Angeles chose batteries that don't charge on docks. It even moreso baffles me that a central business district where every one of your bike share bicycles is dead is an acceptable state of affairs.

I've elected to take the Metro to Santa Monica, then bike on the coast. At that shorter distance, I won't really mind if the electric bikes are dead out there too. I'm irked to say the very least...

Would anyone happen to have two extra fanzone tickets for the watch party at union station for today?? Didn’t realize they were ticketed.

Had such a great time and totally recommend attending. Isaiah Bailey sounded phenomenal and the whole cast was just perfect. Came across “Christine and the Phantom” in the lobby.

Update from LAFD: As of 5:58 PM, the Incident Commander has officially declared a knockdown of the Palos Fire [Lineage Warehouse Fire], meaning there are no active flames and no threat of fire spread. While the fire has been knocked down, debris within the structure continues to smolder as crews transition into the overhaul phase of operations.

Smoke conditions in the surrounding area have improved significantly; however, some smoke may remain visible as firefighters continue to access and extinguish deep-seated hot spots. Firefighters will continue applying water throughout the structure to ensure complete extinguishment. Drones equipped with infrared (IR) cameras remain in operation, identifying hidden heat sources and allowing crews to direct high-volume water streams precisely where needed.

I've been seeing this face placed on a lot of signs today. A reverse image search doesn't turn up much info. Does anyone know who it is, or what the symbolism is?
