Can we get a round of applause for Angie Nixon? What a phenomenal campaign. It was David Vs. Goliath and she fought like hell! 👏👏👏

We got your back, New York!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Several figures here aren’t federal results or NY-specific. The $472B combines US wide pledges: Micron's $250B is nationwide (NY site $100B) Anthropic's $50B covers TX and NY. The 48% murder drop is from NY's state run GIVE program (28 departments, Jan – May 2026). arkolith.com/news/news-micr… therepublic.com/?p=843020 governor.ny.gov/news/safer-str…

Everyone is getting music recs from front facing camera liberal arts undergrads, but you need to be getting music recs from very mean Gen X record store owners, bartenders who drink too much on the job, and people who write for Bandcamp Daily

let's be ambitious. Presidio is already amazing. It could be the most beautiful, iconic waterfront in the world. What should we build?

Also, soundtrack 👌
LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's change that and finally cool things down for everyone.

Sure the polls lately are showing her up but something about this video makes me feel like she could actually pull this off
Los Angeles mayor candidate Nithya Raman says she wants to build 600 bus shelters and plant 100,000 trees as mayor.

The stratospheric gayitude of pop music in Russia in the ‘90s was mind blowing. Broadcast TV channels would fill time with Army of Lovers and Erasure’s ABBA drag videos.
this is my favorite quote from any interview i’ve ever done

To be fair, ex-USSR metro escalators could launch a babushka into orbit
It's not your imagination, LA Metro's escalators are some of the slowest on earth. We measured it against 139 other cities.

This is an extraordinary piece and not just for its clear-eyed take on education and race but because it’s applicable to so many tortured choices we all have to make in our profoundly broken society
A gift link, because this piece is indeed bracing and worth reading in its entirety: nytimes.com/2026/09/20/magaz…

Much love of course to all @kcrw DJs but just feel the need to express how fortunate we are to have @johntejada on the radio
