LA drivers and pedestrians: if it wasn’t hard enough on these streets, there's a group of bros driving golf balls, full force, into traffic, and at buildings every night. Because... of course they are.

“Obviously you're not a golfer” - The Dude.

There's a group of bros in LA who go out at night, driving golf balls into oncoming traffic and at the windows of residential and commercial buildings, film it, and post the clips to Instagram for clout. They're not hiding their faces. The account has over 45,000 followers and they appear to be doing this nightly across LA joking in the comments about never getting caught. 

A driven golf ball leaves a club at well over 100 mph. Hitting one into a windshield isn't a prank, it's a random act of violence that kills people. 

I've cropped the account and usernames in the compilation because I don't want to send them more followers, which is what these posts usually end up doing. But if you drive or live in LA, and you have been smoked by a golf ball, maybe it’s these clowns. 

What's the right channel to report this? I tried LAPD non-emergency with predictable results, maybeeeeeee they need a bigger budget? /s. Reported to Meta - nadddaaaaaa, maybeeeeeee they need a bigger budget? Just trying to figure out how this kind of thing actually gets stopped before someone dies.

Edit: given these clowns are actively posting this thread on their accounts with the caption “they can’t stop us” and threatening people, I think it's best just to be clear who some of them are, since they aren't just randos.

Here is "everywhereweplaygolf" and "Dave Fink" together: https://imgur.com/a/dtl25Eg

When professional Golf Coach and "Content Creator" Dave Fink isn't charging for lessons on municipal golf courses across LA, or teaching at the Swing Factory DTLA, you can find him in The LA River with his boyfriend, firing 140 mph balls at the 5 freeway. https://www.instagram.com/reels/DQuUs9CD8aN/

Whoever you're voting for, the city gets better the second you put your damn phone down and look up

We are all keyed up about this election. Everyone has a candidate they swear is the one who's finally going to fix this place. Fine. I'm not here to argue about who. The votes are in and we are going white knuckle and wait.

But here's the thing. If you actually believe your person is going to make LA safer, more livable, more connected, whatever the pitch is, then you already know what that city looks like. So be a citizen of it now. You don't need to wait for a winner.

Say hello to your neighbor on the dog walk. Smile at the person you pass on the sidewalk. Say thank you to the barista. Give the unhoused guy on your corner a nod and a little grace instead of looking through him. Let the car merge. Use your damn turn signal. 

None of this fixes housing policy or the budget today. I know. But the version of LA we keep saying we want is mostly made out of ten thousand tiny interactions between strangers, and those are the only part of this whole thing you personally control today.

Be the LA you're voting for. Make this damn place better.

Coordinated fake "homeless takeover" videos were filmed on Councilwoman Nithya Raman's street in Silver Lake this weekend, currently being distributed and pushed by four pro-Pratt accounts

What started as cringe AI slop and misinformation has turned into something far more disturbing, and I feel like it's only going to get worse.

In the past 24 hours, Eoin Richard, StreetPeopleOfLosAngeles, Susan Collins (LA), and Zach Comisar distributed some of the most vile, racist, fear-mongering propaganda I've seen this election cycle.

Each account posted these fake videos around the same time, tagged each other, and passed them off as real, claiming "someone sent them the video." Of course, no one claimed responsibility for the actual filming. But given that Zach Comisar works for Vice Media in their social department, founded and operates the AI slop and misinformation account PalisadesHQ, and happens to be a longtime Spencer Pratt collaborator, maybe he might know? Zach?

The staged videos were filmed on a residential street in the hills of Silver Lake, to simultaneously dupe the audience into believing "nowhere is safe" and to straight-up harass Nithya and her family. (Yes, they placed all of the people and props in her driveway.)

Each video features what appears to be an exclusively Black cast acting out every "scary, drugged-out homeless" stereotype your Fox News uncle fever-dreams about: some kind of half-assed, TikTok "Birth of a Nation" lite exclusively for this very weird election. Yes, anyone with a few brain cells could spot how fake this content is. But sadly, as of this morning, these videos have over a million views, and most of the comments seem to think they're genuine.

Who are these people? Are they getting paid by the Pratt team or just volunteering their… "services"? It's gross and weird as hell.

***Edit***

Clearly Pratt is aware of this stunt as he posted around 8pm on May 26th that someone "invited some skid row homeless for a BBQ" at Nithya's house. These ghouls are the most anti-social dweebs.

Silverlake bar infamous for accusations of roofying their customers and racist door policies want… Law and Order in LA.

After yearssssss of roofied customers reporting this place, these clowns think comically white women should be safe in the streets of LA, even if they aren’t safe in their own bar. Throwing rocks in a glass house that already stinks of stale tiktoker vomit and stepped on ketamine.

Silverlake bar infamous for accusations of racism and roofying customers wants… law and order in LA.

I thought this may have been satire considering their reputation, but nope. Tenants think comically white women should be safe in the streets of LA, even if they can’t keep them safe in their own bar.

Strange ads up and down Sunset for unregulated, injectable peptides from Chinese black market.

I am not even going to post the photos out of fear of signal boosting, but in the past week I have seen countless flyers and stickers up and down Sunset from people claiming to be Silverlake and Echo Park locals selling counterfeit and grey market injectable peptides like GLP-1s, please don't tell me people are REALLY buying telegram injectables to get skinny and tan. Hahah

Anyone heading north in two weeks for Cycle To Zero charity ride in SF and Guerneville?

Now that the AIDS Lifecycle SF to LA ride is sadly finished, a few friends are making the trip up to do Cycle to Zero at the end of the month. Would love to meet up with other LA folks if we aren't alone on it.

I'm still raising my last few bucks and stringing together final training rides so if you are a slacker like me... let's link ha.
