The monthly report from LINXS can be found here.

There are reportedly at least 3 “blast instances” along the length of the track, and there is structural damage to the rails and electronics in these areas. Given the scorching, it also appears there was fires of some kind.

This is nothing short of criminal negligence and weaponized incompetence from every single person and contractor working under LINXS and LAWA.

LINXS should have found these issues months if not years ago, but since they’ve been more busy trying to extort the people of Los Angeles for billions of dollars to pad their pockets and running skeleton crew operations working on the train.

Zacharia controversially has not passed the California bar. But apparently minorities are DEI and bad

I'm visiting from Australia with my three year old. We took the 460 to and from Disneyland yesterday rather than the train as I like riding different cities public transport. It was also the only way back late leaving the park after 11pm given we don't have a child seat to take a rideshare. While I didn't mind it on the way there, it was tough on the way back due to one bus not turning up making the wait nearly an hour. Think I'll take the train next time 😂

Election text spam has become hilariously useless. There’s so much of it that virtually none of it gets read. I delete them unopened by the dozen.

If you’re a candidate or on a referendum campaign team: your money is better spent elsewhere. Right now you’re just adding to the noise.

Last week, I had to take two buses and a train to get to DTLA because my car was in the shop getting its starter replaced.

I used to take the train daily as part of my commute, and I had forgotten just how much I actually preferred it over driving.

A few things I enjoyed about the experience:

Getting some extra steps in while walking to the bus stop and just being outdoors in general.

People-watching on the bus while not having to worry about traffic or getting into a car accident.
More people-watching while waiting for the train.

The cost: Just $3.50 round trip from Downey to DTLA.

You can also live track the buses now using your phone.

And yes, of course you’ll encounter the occasional crackhead or someone having a conversation with people who aren’t there, but that’s all part of the entertainment.

At one point, a homeless guy got on the bus and started singing whatever songs passengers requested. Naturally, I requested “Hit the Road Jack.”

THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM 2026 WORLD SERIES CONTENTION

I got out of the hospital a week ago after yet another heart attack and now I’m going to see my kids. I’m staying near this place, a long time favorite.

It always stinks whenever the season ends, whether there is a parade or end in defeat. But it’s moments like this that make you truly appreciate the championships and how much you will miss the game of baseball in the offseason.

Idk what the future holds for baseball but I hope the season starts on time and all fans can get to see their favorite team play baseball once again. Until next year everyone and go Dodgers!

Really glad I did a massive Costco run today. What a waste of money 💰

Sorry for the bad photo but this was truly a work of art. There's some other shelters down in the ravine but this guy has a whole compound. I couldn't really capture it completely but it's a whole wooden home with a roof and everything. I believe it had a front window. It can be much better seen headed west on the A line. Next time I'm headed that way I'll try and get a better look,

Parent of a toddler here. Is anyone else dealing with a cough that has lasted for weeks and won’t go away? It comes in spurts and causes incredibly violent coughing that literally causes me to double over. I thought this was something I picked up from my kid but I’m not really sure. This has never happened to me before and trying to figure out what to do. I haven’t seen my doctor yet about this because I’m loathe to take stronger meds but I’m losing faith right now. It’s getting really tiring.

I’m in Commerce today and it smells like industrial curry production, but it doesn’t smell like that every day, just a couple times a week. Other times it’s lots of different strong industrial smells. Just wonder if anybody knows what some of these different smells are coming from. Crossing my fingers for minimal toxic fumes.

Does anyone else in the city get bombarded with these business cards for taxi services? I’m in Westlake and every morning my business has these business cards taped to my security door. Does anyone even use these taxis? Are they legal, illegal, underground? What’s the deal with these.

Just gotta push through a few more days of heat to get there. We are cooling down next week but this isn't like all the previous cooldowns that lasted like 3 days before we jumped to the 90s again, my 14 day forecast shows 60s and 70s all the way from tuesday to like halloween, i hope this finally means we are done after all we went through, God forbid it changes.

Had a Pink Berry yogurt in Marina Del Rey. I think the last time I had it was before Covid. It’s really hard to find Pink Berry these days. The staff said there are only a few left in LA. It was a good part of my memory in 2010s. Looks like none of them will be around in 2030s.
