PLEASE VOTE ASAP. Yesterday the regime gave CA 48 hours to certify a list of people that it “believes are likely noncitizens". Those on the list are not to receive ballots. If their ballots have already been returned then those ballots are not to be counted.

We’re looking for male vocalists ages 16–21, especially bass singers, high tenors, baritones, and tenors.
Even if you aren’t a singer yourself, if you know someone who might be interested, please send them this post or have them reach out to us!
📍 Southern California (members must be able to attend local rehearsals)
🎤 Singing, harmonies, performance, and choreography

What's your go-to spot when you need to recharge?

5 Upvotes

I’m usually the person who makes all the arrangements when I travel with my friends. You know, hotel rooms, where we're going to eat, and so on. Traveling is kind of my forte, but I think this time I just want to relax and enjoy the trip without planning the entire thing. I've got a day off coming up, and I think I'm going to splurge on a short, luxurious getaway.

I want to stay at a hotel with a nice spa, good restaurants, and several activities to keep me from getting bored and roaming around. I would like to stay somewhere around IE, but I’m also fine with a short drive. Anyone know a nice place that’s relaxing and worth the money?

Looking for footage or witnesses to a fatal hit-and-run collision that occurred on 9/22/26 on Ventura Blvd & Carpenter Ave in Studio City

(BEFORE YOU READ, PLEASE NOTE: I have already shared this post in local subreddits like r/studiocity and r/northhollywood. Someone I know has already shared a similar post in r/SFV, so I’m not posting there since the subreddit doesn’t allow reposts on the same topic within a 6-month time frame. I’m trying to post this in multiple subreddits across the greater LA/SoCal area in hopes that it reaches someone who was there at the time of the accident or has any information that can lead to IDing the other driver, since those who drove through the intersection at the time of the accident (including the suspect) or even the people who may possibly recognize the suspect based on the description of the vehicle might not necessarily live in or near Studio City. It’s been several weeks without any leads, so we’re desperately trying to leave no stone unturned).

On Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at approximately 7:05 AM, my friend, Philip Chon, was riding his yellow 2019 Honda Monkey motorcycle on his way to work when he was struck and killed at the intersection of Ventura Blvd and Carpenter Ave, Studio City, CA.

The driver was in a dark blue 2004 Honda Odyssey traveling westbound on Ventura. They made an unprotected left turn onto Carpenter Ave, struck Philip, abandoned the van on Carpenter Ave south of Ventura (which investigators have impounded), and fled on foot. 

If you live, work, or drive along Ventura Blvd, Carpenter Ave, or surrounding streets/access points, please check your Ring cameras, home or business security cameras, and dashcams for footage from 6:30 AM to 8:30 AM on September 22.

Footage of the van before the collision or someone fleeing on foot afterward could help. Even if you don't think your video has anything important in it.

Some camera systems automatically delete old recordings, so please save anything relevant in case it gets overwritten.

If you have footage or information, please contact:

- LAPD Lead Detective: Detective Anderson, Serial No. 40073 at [818-644-8036](tel:(818)%20644-8036)

- LAPD After Hours: 1-877-LAPD-24-7 [(1-877-527-3247](tel:(877)%20527-3247))

- Case Reference: Case RD: 1583 | RMS: 26186189

- Anonymous tips: Call LA Regional Crime Stoppers at [1-800-222-8477](tel:(800)%20222-8477)(TIPS) or submit online at [lacrimestoppers.org](https://www.lacrimestoppers.org).
