Spencer Pratt in his video response to losing the Los Angeles mayoral primary:
"I know a lot of dimwitted jerks thought ... that I was going to roll up and leave town if I didn't get into city hall."
He's the one who said that. š

I've always thought one of the coolest stretches of freeway is the 134 West thru Eagle Rock, with views of DTLA, the ocean, and Griffith Observatory on clear days.
Just north of the freeway, Scholl Canyon Trail in Glendale is a higher perch of the view with a bit more quietude.

Mary Fong Lau was driving nearly 3x the speed limit when she crashed into a SF bus stop and killed a family of four.
Today a judge sentenced her to probation without jail time and she could be licensed to drive again in five years.

Lau killed Diego Cardoso de Oliveira, Matilde Moncada Ramos Pinto and their sons, one-year-old Joaquim and three-month-old CauĆŖ.
Judge Bruce Chan imposed an incredibly light sentence for the woman, in part because of his "feeling" that she feels bad about killing four people.

Stark and gut-wrenching example of the imbalanced scales of justice tipped in favor of drivers who kill someone with their vehicle in crashes that could have been prevented by responsible driving and safer street designs.

I just did the dumbest thing of my career to prove a much more serious point
I hacked ChatGPT and Google and made them tell other users Iām really, really good at eating hot dogs
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I'll explain how I did it

Just awful. Cold, callous, awful.
Solidarity with my fellow journalists and their families going through this today.
I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Here's my full piece about some of the questions raised internally about this story and concerns I heard from some CBS News staffers about it: theguardian.com/media/2026/jā¦
(In an editorial call yesterday, Bari Weiss said the story was a high priority to pursue.)
Jan 15
There was discussion internally at CBS News about the specifics of the officer's injuries and whether more detail could be provided, I am told.
"I'm no doctor, but internal bleeding is a very broad term and can range in severity," a CBS News executive said in an internal email.
"A bruise is internal bleeding. But it can also be something serious. We do know that the ICE agent walked away from the incident -- we have that on camera."

"On paper, policymakers make lofty commitments to public transportation and road safety, placing the utmost value on human life. In practice, human life is not as important as the convenience of drivers ā a policy choice that endangers every person in CA."

Did some reporting on this incident back in September. Spoke to a few witnesses at the time, but it hits different to see the video evidence of what they described.

Iām Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, Iāve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse.
Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away.

Some riders shared their experience with me:
