It’s impossible not to smile when you see @ChemBros #robots come out. So many unique elements in the show, but the robots are always my favorite. Thanks for the show and for bringing them along!

@MayorOfLA What a vivid dream you had.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

My Pixel 10 Pro has had some thermal and battery issues lately, battery gets so hot you feel it a couple inches away, today the phone melted itself while charging. @MadeByGoogle support has refused to help and said they need 48 hours to ask supervisors.

@metrolosangeles @christopherrufo "Isolated incidents"...Isolated to that very moment. But widespread to every stop, every bus, every train, every platform. June 13, 2026. 8th/Grand. Smoking crack there at the bus stop. Unsafe to go close so drivers pass you by not stopping.

EXCLUSIVE: In the past decade, the Los Angeles Metro has reduced fare enforcement by more than 99 percent—and crime has doubled.

We rode the trains for 24 hours to see the nightmare up close. Vagrants, drugs, shootings, robberies, rape. And political leaders who do nothing.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

@metrolosangeles @christopherrufo This is fact. Walk up to any platform and you have open drug use, unruly people, you use @metrolosangeles transit watch and they do nothing. The problem starts at the top of the chain with @MayorOfLA, and her vacancy of a leader.

Metro's board must change because of the passage of Measure G, but Metro's Ad Hoc committee is not seeking to address any of the real structural problems at the board.

The final Ad Hoc meeting is this Monday at 9am. Make your voice heard.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the Directors Label DVD series. They have been out of print and hard to find for years, but luckily they can now be found in entirety on Archive:

Forest Lawn's road safety project was supposed to go in the ground next week but @MayorOfLA intervened.

Isn't it a conflict of interest for cemeteries to oppose a road safety project? Why is Bass listening to them instead of @LADOTofficial?

Take action:

Bikes are great. But e bikes especially on the sidewalk are worse, even more so when you have entitled riders like these guys.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

Almost got hit by @limebike going too speed on the sidewalk. Obviously no enforcement from @limebike as that might impact profit.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

I rarely do @Uber given the lack of safety from some drivers which makes it bad for everyone -drivers literally falling asleep driving into oncoming traffic-, and today the app is for no reason routing around the entire city double travel time. Best option is #PublicTransit.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

@sherlyholmes @maxdubler Common denominator - no #KarenBass.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

@hearinladotcom @bikinginla That's what New York does for idling vehicles.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

Speaking with a @FlyFrontier rep who could not tell me what terminal their airline was located at at LAX, refused to ask anyone else, and instead had me wait 12 minutes to give a partial answer. Still unsure if I can skip check in at T1/T2 if I don't have bags.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

@breakingdead1 @LaInaMinute Many countries have solved this problem. People just refuse to accept the solution.

[Metro Los Angeles @metrolosangeles]

🟣 Heads up, D Line riders: Wilshire/La Cienega Station is now part of TAP-to-Exit

❗ Riders must TAP when entering & exiting

🎟️ You won’t be charged twice-tapping confirms payment

😀 Why? Better safety, less loitering & fewer incidents

🚇 Your fares support public transit

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

Meanwhile while #LAbyKarenBass Part 6 happened. #LAFD worked fast and within 3 hours got things under control. @MayorOfLA Needs to go with all the people living in the vacant buildings. Thank you @LAFD! Windows closed and fresh air intake off, still filtering, but improving.

Only made it a few hours before people started smoking on the train. Security at the station but none riding the train.

[Mik Nolhan @MikNolhan]

@NaqiyNY Might be lower density directly on the sides but it drives that line right through the center of the city where no freeway can get close to, and makes it significantly faster to get to either side where 101 and 10 pass.
