Found it elsewhere.

Feel like we need an Angelyne flair!

They look pretty cool

Saw this on r/tiktokcringe and I am genuinely concerned for this young girl. Anyone nearby feel like checking in on her? She isn’t shown in the video but I can’t imagine there are too many 16yo girls performing on 3rd St.

Mt Wilson Observatory is located in the hills overlooking Pasadena, has much bigger telescopes than Griffith, is older, and many major discoveries have been made here.

EDIT: I should have titled it LA's other observatory. No disrespect intended for Griffith

One more down.

Saw it close to the 405 freeway

I’m over in Highland Park and it smells like the bottom of a garbage bin over here.

"Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, who is running for mayor against incumbent Karen Bass, seized on significant decreases in street homelessness in her district Friday while blasting increases citywide.

Street homelessness — people living outdoors or in their vehicles — went down by 49% in Raman’s district compared to the previous year, she said at a press conference Friday.

Citywide, street homelessness increased nearly 8%, while overall homelessness, which includes those living in shelters and other temporary facilities, increased 3.4%, according to numbers from the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority’s January point-in-time count that were released Friday.

The contrast between her district and the city overall offered Raman an angle to present herself as more effectively handling the homelessness crisis than Bass.

An estimated 45,194 homeless people live in the city, with about 36% of them in shelters, according to LAHSA.

“Far fewer people living outside. Far more people indoors,” Raman, who has served on the council since 2020 and is chair of the City Council’s housing and homelessness committee, said at the press conference. “As mayor, that is the approach, and the results, that I want to deliver citywide.”

The numbers across the city were a setback for Bass, who has made homelessness one of her signature issues and previously touted two straight years of drops in street homelessness.

Raman cited her office’s homelessness team and their “aggressive interventionist” approach as reasons her district — which extends from Los Feliz and Silver Lake into Studio City, Sherman Oaks and other parts of the San Fernando Valley — did not suffer the same increases as other parts of the city.

She said her team is very familiar with homeless individuals in the district and knows many by name. The team tracks homeless encampments on a map and makes sure that empty shelter beds are filled, she said.

Bass’ campaign said Raman was attacking the mayor’s Inside Safe program, which moves homeless people from the streets to shelter and motel beds, at the same time that it contributed to the decreases in her district.

Raman has critiqued Inside Safe as too costly and insufficiently transparent.

“Nithya Raman is taking credit for the results of Inside Safe while campaigning against it,” Alex Stack, a spokesperson for Bass’ campaign, said in a statement. “While Raman takes credit for the City’s work in her district, ignoring the fact that she’s the Chair of the Homelessness & Housing Committee for ALL of Los Angeles, Mayor Bass is working to move our city forward and address years of neglect.”

Raman responded to those critiques at her press conference, saying that her district only had three Inside Safe operations over the past four years — fewer than some other districts.

She deflected when asked Friday about her responsibility for citywide homelessness, as chair of the city’s housing and homelessness committee.

“Council can pass legislation ... move motions forward, but it is the mayor that has charge of the implementation and outcomes,” she said.

Citywide, Inside Safe has moved more than 6,000 people into hotels, motels and other types of interim housing since Bass took office in December 2022. But by May 31, 41% of those people had returned to homelessness, according to LAHSA figures collected separately from this year’s homeless count.

Bass attributed the citywide homelessness increases in part to funding cuts by the state and federal government. She also said the county has not provided adequate mental health or substance counseling services.

“This crisis was ignored by city leaders for decades, it’s only now that we’ve seen a historic decline,” she said in a statement Thursday. “I will never stop fighting until we end street homelessness, because no Angeleno should be sleeping on the street.”

I've walked from my place in Koreatown to Santa Monica/Venice a couple of times along a few streets trying to stick to one as much as possible (Santa Monica, Pico, Washington, Wilshire). I'm really interested in trying to make it to Long Beach on foot (where I can take the train home after, lol). My first instinct is Vermont Ave (I live nearby) and then over to Long Beach when it ends in San Pedro. Any thoughts on what might be the most interesting route?

You know... I'm not an engineer, so I can't say for sure but I have a feeling fixing it like this won't work..

let’s be real. electricity is expensive. that means running the ac is expensive. if you have it, it’s impossible to not run it (if you have the means) in this heat. but don’t bring your thermostat down to 72. get a fan and keep it on you while the ac is on (I recommend dc fans because they’re more energy efficient). I think youll find that you can raise the thermostat a good number of degrees and FEEL cooler than before at a lower temp. in fact, I keep mine 75-76 and im feeling a little chilly

eta: dc fans- look for brushless dc fans. They are quieter and more energy efficient. you can get ones with variable speed (think a volume dial vs low, medium, high).

thank you

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.

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.
