Waymo receives permission to offer ride-hailing service in more of LA and surrounding counties

NOTE: Just because they now have permission to expand to new areas doesn't mean they will actually do so anytime soon.

  • The maps attached are the areas where the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) allowed Waymo to expand self-driving vehicles to last year. The second slide shows the difference in area included before and after the DMV's Nov 2025 approval.
  • The news this month has to do with approval by the CPUC (California Public Utilities Commission) which now allows Waymo to expand ride-hailing services to more areas.

LA River bike project in Nithya Raman, Bob Blumenfield and and Imelda Padilla's districts is being scaled back. The changes will make it more inconvenient to drivers and more dangerous to cyclists.

Have Sunkist Fruit Gems been discontinued? I could buy them a year ago but now I can't find them in my local stores anymore and they're not showing up on the Jelly Belly website anymore either.

Last year I bought these at Smart & Final and at WinCo here in Los Angeles.

Loved seeing all the people at Ciclavia + World Cup screening at Hollywood/Highland station yesterday! Where do you think the next Ciclavia will be?

Just finished watching the new series. I know it's not faithful to the original show or texts but I still think the new series is still a worthwhile watch. It's beautifully filmed and I think the actors they cast did a really good job, especially the actor who plays Laura.

A collection of vintage LA transit advertisements and footage (including ones featuring the mascot Travis the Safety Owl [starts at 8:12] and actor/former RTD board member George Takei [starts at 1:48]) There's also a rather long piece of audio-less footage from 5:10-8:10 you may want to skip.

Which child actor’s performance made you sit up and say: Holy shit, this kid can ACT!

Casting child actors seems like it’s a very difficult thing to do right.

It can make or break a film, especially one with a child protagonist.

I do feel guilty being critical of children as I’m sure they’re trying their best. But when so much money and effort is being put toward making a film, I feel irritated at casting directors who make poor choices.

—-

To see a child excel in the craft is a rare and beautiful thing. What performances stand out in your mind the most?

What is your favorite place to buy planters? My local stores are lacking in selection. Willing to go anywhere in SoCal.

Any places with a huge selection would be ideal

Mnemonic for which direction the sun rises and sets on: "East" rhymes with "Yeast". Yeast makes dough rise. "West" rhymes with "Rest". The sun rests for the night in the West.
