San Diegans will really put french fries and sour cream in a burrito, and then tell you with a straight face that SD mexican food is more authentic than LA. I said what I said! 😅🙈

As an independent, there’s a lot I don’t like about the republicans on the ballot. But I refuse to vote for societal decay. The democrats in California have openly embraced decay. Our cities are filthy. Our streets are unkept. Our schools are in a nose dive. Public works in decay. Large projects fraught with fraud. Gas is nearly double the national average. And they want MORE tax dollars. All they want to talk about is the president, but none of CA’s issues have anything to do with the White House. This is all Sacramento. The left has been in a supermajority in this state for +/- 30 years. Simple question: are better off today than we were 30 years ago? We all know the answer. So It’s time for change. Vote @CAGOP. It’s not perfect, but it’s better than the alternative.

The AI Lie.
People believe their messaging is being amplified with AI generated images and copy, when it's actually making their messaging more ignored than ever before.
52% of readers reduce their engagement (such as scrolling past or ignoring) upon identifying content as AI-generated, according to consumer data [Predict].
69% of people trust AI-generated content less than human-created content, driving a broader tendency to skip or distrust generic AI material [Pangram]
82.1% of Americans can spot AI-generated content at least some of the time, making recognizable "AI slop" or repetitive phrasing easy for audiences to filter out [Column Five Media].
52% to 66% of social media users and online audiences actively grow more selective or disengage when they suspect a post lacks a human element [Sprout Social / Predict]

Haven’t had to see a “Thank You Fans” post from the @Dodgers since October of 2023.
Thank you to the best fans in baseball. 💙
ALT A graphic thanking the fans for an incredible season. The graphic has photos and cutouts of Dodger fans on it with text that says: Thank you fans

Weird. I was reliably told by baseball twitter that the #Dodgers have ruined baseball and no small market teams can compete. 🤔

Rare PSA. My fellow Angelenos: the City of Los Angeles writes 1.9 million parking tickets annually, which bring in $310,000 daily, and $113m annually.
It is highly unethical and should be illegal, for @LACity to issue moneygrabbing tickets on the same streets they refuse to: Sweep weekly, Fix potholes monthly, Repave annually, Police patrol daily, Enforce RV laws, Enforce tent laws, Pull weeds, Maintain landscaping, Repair crumbling curbs, Repair dangerously uneven sidewalks ... these are BASIC city services anywhere in the developed world.
There is an absolute breakdown of the social contract on our city's streets right now from City Hall. We really don't have to live like this. I hope we remember that this November.

Could not agree more.
I am about to say something marginally political. Brace yourselves. 😎
I am a native Californian and a political independent. Here in California we have a Democrat governor, a Democrat super majority in the state legislature, and every major city has a Democrat mayor. And every election cycle every single poll reveals a majority of voters think the state is heading in the wrong direction. And yet we keep putting Democrats in office. California’s problems are all about policy. Period. You can’t blame “the other guy“ for the absolute horror that exists in our metro areas, or a budget that has collapsed due to the unrestrained funding of undocumented immigrants. It is the Dems fault and they need to own it. And perhaps we need to give someone else a shot at this. Just saying.

Did you know that 3 out of every 4 pastors in Southern California are bi-vocational, with many working 2 or more jobs in addition to pastoring? Pastors, I know you are busy and your time is valuable, yet you undoubtedly have developing leaders in your church who need training. SoCal North American Missions desires to help the pastors of SoCalUPCI with EQUIP - a ministry training toolkit designed to provide free, ongoing training resources to assist pastors in developing young leaders and aspiring ministers. Our next EQUIP call is Monday, October 5 at 6:30pm with guest speaker Scott Graham. It is open to any developing leader who has the blessing of their local pastor. Visit socalnam.com/equip for information and how to join the call.

Cannot believe it’s been ten years. Miss his voice!
Ten years ago today, Vin Scully signed off the @Dodgers airwaves for the final time.
“You and I have been friends for a long time, but I know in my heart that I’ve always needed you more than you’ve ever needed me.”

It's almost like CA's soft-on-crime thing puts everyday people in danger. Who would have thought?
NEW: I spoke exclusively with the uncle of Bailee Rios, the woman accused in the deadly Chatsworth Metro bus crash.
He tells me she struggled with substance abuse and says the justice system gave her “too many chances.”
2 people were killed and at least 6 injured. Then, a Channel 4 news helicopter covering the crash went down, killing 3 more.

• Fraud is not happening
• Fraud is happening, but it's not a big deal
• Fraud a good thing, actually
• The people questioning fraud are the problem
• We're openly defrauding you, and you can't stop us.
Yes, this is a real video of my mayor.
