Someone last night looked at me and called me "Gandhi" 🥴 ???
Ridiculous misinformation by California Post just to kick off how you should consume news from this platform. Couple cars and convenience stores were torched. It was all calm by Monday. The border was never compromised. There's no "spillover" or ever even a chance of it. #Mexico
Random late summer market fruit plate: strawberries, blackberries, cherry tomatoes, sliced nectarine with a little lime and salt, sliced figs topped with pistachio crumble and a bit of honey. All fresh from my Sunday farmers market in our blessed California Republic. 😋 #LosAngeles
Basically me for an era c. 2014, a USB drive necklace, a Blackberry, and a roadside pulque along the highway in Huitzilac, Morelos. #Mexico 🤩
Scenes of spontaneous pushback and direct action to prevent unlawful deportations are popping up everywhere. Two *lawful asylum seekers were snatched in Spokane. Local Dem council member posted a call to action on FB. A GOP commissioner pleads for relief. Incredible www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...
not me talking about being sloppy in my 20s in a group piece on restaurants we miss 😜 www.latimes.com/food/story/2...
Never fully trust auto-correct. It's 2025 and #Google is still guiding millions of people into mistakes in its handling of "its" and "it's". ⚠️ The AI here thinks "it's" is possessive like "Daniel's" but IT IS NOT. Dear god it is not ... I even gave it another chance (-) and.. 🤬 #somebodydosomething
Flames visible to naked eye from Kenneth Hahn park about 13 miles from #PalisadesFire - Smoke shrouding most beach cities and areas and now LAX.
You probably know what a torta is but do you know what a "drowned torta" is? That's a torta ahogada from Guadalajara, in which a carnitas sandwich is drenched in a fiery tomate sauce with loads of chile de arbol. Spicy as hell, phew! 🌶😭 This one is the best in LA. #Inglewood #mexicanfood #LosAngeles
So glad we have a film critic again @latimes.com - It's important for the city! And did you all notice that Amy Nicholson named DUNE2 the best film of 2024??? 👀 Her take on Zendaya's power is perfect. #Zendaya deserves an Oscar nod: Calling it! www.latimes.com/entertainmen...
