It was a parking lot.

Photo was taken yesterday

Called the police after seeing my local arsonist light his fire and run away. Police never came and LAFD showed up 20 minutes later. A couple of good samaritans helped put it out before it climbed up the 10 and lit a nearby house on fire.

Called the non-emergency hotline afterwards to tell them where this guy lives and they said there is nothing they can do if the arsonist "is not on the scene". I said "Who lights a fire and stays on the scene?" They copped up an attitude and reiterated that if he does it again, to call. Wtf is going on, LA?!

Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this differently ?!

She has a high fever and we just found out that he’s a SHE!! Almost 7 months old and very friendly… She’s so affectionate and hasn’t attacked anyone since we found her. She’s honestly the best cat I’ve ever came in contact with tbh. I wish I could keep her.

I will make sure you go to the vet and take care of everything..I won’t be giving her to just anybody so please be aware of that before messaging me.

How exciting guys, I love it here

The monthly report from LINXS can be found here.

There are reportedly at least 3 “blast instances” along the length of the track, and there is structural damage to the rails and electronics in these areas. Given the scorching, it also appears there was fires of some kind.

This is nothing short of criminal negligence and weaponized incompetence from every single person and contractor working under LINXS and LAWA.

LINXS should have found these issues months if not years ago, but since they’ve been more busy trying to extort the people of Los Angeles for billions of dollars to pad their pockets and running skeleton crew operations working on the train.

I over slept and thought I had missed out again but arrived close to noon and got mine, they still have cards and the line was not long at all.

Check the website because they will be updating at each location’s page if they ran out, they won’t update over the phone.

Zacharia controversially has not passed the California bar. But apparently minorities are DEI and bad

I'm visiting from Australia with my three year old. We took the 460 to and from Disneyland yesterday rather than the train as I like riding different cities public transport. It was also the only way back late leaving the park after 11pm given we don't have a child seat to take a rideshare. While I didn't mind it on the way there, it was tough on the way back due to one bus not turning up making the wait nearly an hour. Think I'll take the train next time 😂

Election text spam has become hilariously useless. There’s so much of it that virtually none of it gets read. I delete them unopened by the dozen.

If you’re a candidate or on a referendum campaign team: your money is better spent elsewhere. Right now you’re just adding to the noise.

Last week, I had to take two buses and a train to get to DTLA because my car was in the shop getting its starter replaced.

I used to take the train daily as part of my commute, and I had forgotten just how much I actually preferred it over driving.

A few things I enjoyed about the experience:

Getting some extra steps in while walking to the bus stop and just being outdoors in general.

People-watching on the bus while not having to worry about traffic or getting into a car accident.
More people-watching while waiting for the train.

The cost: Just $3.50 round trip from Downey to DTLA.

You can also live track the buses now using your phone.

And yes, of course you’ll encounter the occasional crackhead or someone having a conversation with people who aren’t there, but that’s all part of the entertainment.

At one point, a homeless guy got on the bus and started singing whatever songs passengers requested. Naturally, I requested “Hit the Road Jack.”

Parent of a toddler here. Is anyone else dealing with a cough that has lasted for weeks and won’t go away? It comes in spurts and causes incredibly violent coughing that literally causes me to double over. I thought this was something I picked up from my kid but I’m not really sure. This has never happened to me before and trying to figure out what to do. I haven’t seen my doctor yet about this because I’m loathe to take stronger meds but I’m losing faith right now. It’s getting really tiring.

UPDATE:

Just to update everyone, because it’s been really heartwarming to get so much kind feedback and advice.

Went to Urgent Care today and the PA I saw thinks it’s sinusitis / sinus infection. He said my lungs sound fine and no need for an x-ray. Apparently the cough can be caused by sinus issues as well. I forgot to mention in the original post that I also have thick yellow mucus from my nose (it’s just bothering me much less than the cough, frankly).

Getting antibiotics and steroids to treat this so hopefully it will clear up soon.

I have had the T-dap vaccine, as well as this season’s flu and Covid vaccines.

Thank you again to everyone who shared advice. I love LA!

Really glad I did a massive Costco run today. What a waste of money 💰

I got out of the hospital a week ago after yet another heart attack and now I’m going to see my kids. I’m staying near this place, a long time favorite.

THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2026 WORLD SERIES CONTENTION

Sorry for the bad photo but this was truly a work of art. There's some other shelters down in the ravine but this guy has a whole compound. I couldn't really capture it completely but it's a whole wooden home with a roof and everything. I believe it had a front window. It can be much better seen headed west on the A line. Next time I'm headed that way I'll try and get a better look,

It always stinks whenever the season ends, whether there is a parade or end in defeat. But it’s moments like this that make you truly appreciate the championships and how much you will miss the game of baseball in the offseason.

Idk what the future holds for baseball but I hope the season starts on time and all fans can get to see their favorite team play baseball once again. Until next year everyone and go Dodgers!
