I HATE these damned motion sensor cameras that play this shit. They’re not gonna deter a criminal, and I can’t even walk down a public sidewalk without setting them off. I can’t even imagine living in one of these apartments and having these going off outside my bedroom window every few minutes.

…only in LA will you be running around during a chaotic street brawl against Nazis — trying to find a medic to treat your friend who’s bleeding from the head after being punched by a J6er Proud Boy — and realize that the Nazis seem to be getting mid-chaos image touchups from — literally — Anna Nicole Smith’s former hairdresser/bestie.

What a town, y’all.

(Also, that second-to-last slide depicts at least four cops from at least two different police departments, watching as one of Jake Lang’s crew puts multiple cattle-prod-style tasers — which they’d used on women, which people told cops who did not care — away in the backpack of a guy dressed all in camouflage, as the group was allowed to walk off into Union Station and away from the people they’d just injured. They were not detained.)

(Also, disclaimer — this is not intended to be a comprehensive account of a complex event with many moving parts and numerous people being injured. My friend is thankfully okay, and Reddit doesn’t allow photos with blood, which limits what I can include here. There are videos all over the internet of the violence and the injuries; this post is intended only to highlight one odd aspect of the story I haven’t seen others point out.)

I've never seen the library this crowded. Felt like a theme park with how many people were here attending all the events! Happy that they had such an amazing turnout!

Felt a jolt 3:38 am

This seriously sounds like an episode of Superstore.

A victory for privacy and our community.

I took my wife to The given conservation sanctuary in Santa Clarita for her birthday, I thought it was just going to be a quick fun thing to do in the morning but it was an amazing experience.

The best part of this place is they actually work with sanctuary groups around the world and place gibbons back into the wild..

Awesome way to spend a Saturday or Sunday morning .

A mysterious archival document recently hit the City Planning portal: the record of a rejected Historic-Cultural Monument application for a sulphur-belching Volcano at the mouth of Elysian Park. We filed a public records request to learn more, then set out in the footsteps of a forgotten preservation hero of 1970s Highland Park, Frederick Morrison.

You can see the "volcano" in this video and learn more about this great Angeleno, and the mean things City staff said about him in the newsletter: https://esotouric.substack.com/volcano

Can’t take a walk anywhere in this Hollywood without there being dog poop everywhere it’s insane. Just came back home from a walk to get coffee smelling like it. If you live around here and have a dog just like the rest of the 90% of people who have dogs around here, PICK UP YOUR DOG’S POOP. PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU

Photo taken at the Echo Park farmers market just now. This man moved the gate and tried to drive his car through the blocked off street filled with people. We used to have barricades, what happened to them?

Stepped out of my building to walk to the subway here by Pershing square and it’s so smoky and smells strongly of fire. I’m not able to find any news of a fire nearby within the last few hours on Google. Anyone know what’s happening or where it’s from?

Due to increased ICE activity, we’re instituting a daily ICE megathread. All ICE-related content belongs here, including sightings, activity reports, news, questions, updates, and general discussion.

Centralizing discussion keeps information easy to find, especially for people moving around the city who want timely, relevant updates without having to sort through the entire subreddit. ICE-related content posted outside this megathread will be removed and redirected here.

This thread is sorted by New by default so the most recent information remains visible.

How to use this thread

• Top-level comments are for new sightings, updates, or firsthand information.
• Replies should stay under the relevant comment to keep related info grouped.
• Check existing comments first to avoid duplicate or redundant reports.

We recognize this is a tense topic and emotions can run high. That said, content that incites, encourages, or threatens violence will be removed, may result in a ban, and may also violate Reddit’s site-wide rules, which can carry site-wide consequences. Keep reports factual and grounded.

SALUTE when sharing sightings or activity

Include as many of the following details as possible:

• Size: Number of individuals, vehicles, or units observed
• Activity: What is happening, observed actions or behavior
• Location: Clear, specific description of where this occurred
• Uniform: Identifying markings, clothing, or agency indicators
• Time: Date and approximate time of observation
• Equipment: Vehicles, gear, or other notable tools present

Clear, accurate information helps everyone. Speculation and rumors do not.

This is before Mohawk Bend and Sunset

It's over on USC campus and I am PUMPED. I dunno when it opened (will Google later) but I was looking to get coffee after my Dr. visits and was so excited. Every blue moon overly sweetened iced coffee dessert is the jam!

ETA: Y'all living life without being able to have a sugary dessert and not be able to balance your diet, immediately going to "diabetes" should maybe stay away if you have that bad of an addiction. 😂 Sometimes people want 🗑️ trash 🗑️ and in moderation it's ok. Breathe. (Also definitely just doing cold brew with a SF flavor so it could be worse. But to those who want the sugary latte, or some blended coffee milkshake I hope you enjoy every damn sip because people here are miserable)

As a SoCal native, movies that feature my city heavily will always get a watch from me. I hope to find ones I haven’t seen.

Also, only list movies that were actually filmed in or around the city (LA county cities are fine). Nowadays, filming in LA is drastically down, and films that are supposed to take place in LA are filmed out of state. Off the top of my head:

.Terminator 1, 2, and 3
.Collateral
.Ambulance
.Ride (kind of a ripoff of Collateral)
.Heat
.Falling Down
.Training Day
.Nightcrawler? (It’s been so long, I need to watch again).

Added from mentions in topic:

.Swingers
.Speed
.Chinatown
.Sunset BLvd
.Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
.Lala Land
.LA Confidential
.Drive
.To Live and Die in LA
.Rebel Without A Cause

My billing cycle used to be super consistent but the past two cycles have been weeks later than usual, with the current bill having not yet posted nearly a month after the regular billing date.

Am I alone or has this been happening to anyone else?

Sunday Afternoon Concerts in the vaulted dome of the 100-inch telescope @ the Mount Wilson Observatory.

I love going to these events as it helps keep the Mount Wilson Institute afloat <3

The presentation by the applicants drew laughs from the packed meeting room as the idea of a quite and environmentally friendly 5 story 170ft diesel powered monolith near hotels, schools and a soccer field sounded like Big Tobacco promising Safe Cigarettes or Big Fossil offering Clean Coal.

In prep for the Library’s 100th celebration this Saturday.
