Am I doing this right? :)

@dennisjromero Sharona's husband Danny is a cousin of Sam. Not sure how closely related. Nazarian is her married name.

@mottsmith @metrolosangeles Sorry. In general, it feels like the system's improved since maybe 2022.

I did have a few dicey moments on the B line last night, but that's now an exception rather than the rule.

Keep in mind that if you're defending Platner at this point you're signing up for 5 more months of defending an obvious pathological liar.

Me Exhausted from coaching the Knicks at home

@dillonliam Pretty sure that’s Nico Ruderman.

@paulmitche11 @jonlovett @XavierBecerra @TomSteyer @TVietor08 @jonfavs @katieporterca They’re not Westsiders :)

Nice meeting you at the Pomona College debate!

@RoxanneHoge @MicahKTLA @chercalvin @KTLA @mikehtrujillo @GOPLosAngeles He’s a real person!?!?!?!?

Thought @mikehtrujillo was like a centaur or leprechaun—a figure of myth and legend.

@mrdougellin Thanks for clarifying. I assumed you were in PO, which is City of LA.

FYI: I’m a Five Towns kid who moved to Beverly Hills when I was 14—extreme culture shock. It was so special seeing “the five towns” and “Hewlett Harbor” on the show!

@TheFrankIsola @ramonashelburne That was a VETERAN Spurs team. Duncan was the only starter under 30. Also, that Knicks team was an 8 seed.

@Elex_Michaelson @wemby Elex, you know I love you. But as an Angeleno, you know the most difficult player to guard in NBA history is Mr. Shaquille O’Neal. And it’s not even close. Cue Richard Jefferson…

@BBGreatMoments Fun Fact: Howard was a 12 time All-Star, the 1963 AL MVP, and earned four world series rings. He's not in the Hall of Fame, but maybe he should be?

@MattSeedorff It's also **ILLEGAL** and CM Raman could seek damages.

(Worth noting: Raman was one of two members to vote against the measure, which I did not know until re-reading it just now)

@RobGeorge Please Google “Kobe Bryant” and “finger fracture.”

[(((Ron Demeter))) @RonMozaic]

@dillonliam They can't take public transit?

[(((Ron Demeter))) @RonMozaic]

Why is a candidate for Mayor of LA on a NY Media tour five days before election day? That doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Just saying...

[Sara Eisen @SaraEisen]

I asked @spencerpratt about how to deal with rising antisemitism in LA and everywhere after the DOJ sued UCLA this week for the third time for failing to protect Jewish students

[(((Ron Demeter))) @RonMozaic]

@SaraEisen @spencerpratt @SquawkStreet Great. Please ask him about:
-ULA reform
-Gross receipts tax's impact on business
-Why LA is "Redlined" by lenders
-Working with public employee unions
-Convention center development
-Streamlining permitting

All major business items impacting Los Angeles.

@jonfavs In 2020, polling consistently found Sara Gideon ahead of Susan Collins by 4-5 points. In the actual election, Collins won by about 9 points.

[The Knicks Recap @TheKnicksRecap]

The Knicks changed their entire franchise when they signed Jalen Brunson. But not everyone believed.

They said he wasn't a 1A.
They said he was overpaid.
They said he wasn't a superstar.
They said you can't win with a small guard.

He proved everyone wrong and silenced all of his critics. Jalen Brunson has now led the Knicks to their first NBA Finals appearance in 27 years.
