he wouldnt, would he?

On Twitter, when LAPD posts about serial killing of 3 homeless people, commenters only seem to be interested in the race of the alleged shooter and the fact that LAPD said "experiencing homelessness." Not a lot of, say, anger or devastation about the killings disturbing twitter.com/LAPDHQ/status/…

@lapresmidi Awww, ty Lauren!

I got the scoop on why Silver Lake's Café Tropical closed. Turns out the owner, Daniel Navarro, owes his mother more than $350,000 and has not coughed up the money. She sued him last year over misuse of the family company's finances. latimes.com/california/sto…

NYPost, meanwhile, gave us the shout out... nypost.com/2023/12/01/new…

Tough seeing my former employer not attribute my scoop to me but instead to ABC7. Alas. nydailynews.com/2023/12/01/hol…

I have been laid off from the Los Angeles Times.

Here is the Youtube full of spoken word poetry by Jameelah Michl, the woman accused of killing Michael Latt. She stalked director A.V. Rockwell and sent her this Youtube profile: "If you want to know more," she wrote about her page. youtube.com/watch?v=DWRAXT…

Just wow. This is so twisted and terrible. “On Nov. 27, Michl shot and killed Latt in his home for ‘being friends with a woman she had been stalking.’ Michl had worked as a background actor and as a stand-in for the lead actress on ‘A Thousand And One.’” latimes.com/california/sto…

NEW: Jameelah Michl, accused of killing social justice advocate Michael Latt, had previously stalked and threatened Hollywood director, A.V. Rockwell. Rockwell, who directed "A Thousand And One," was friends with Latt. Michl was an extra in the movie... latimes.com/california/sto…

As Mohammed Abed spoke, a small drone hovered above. It circled and drew closer, diving and skimming a few feet from his head. It flew back and forth, menacing, like a horsefly. “The settlers send them every hour to annoy and scare us." via @JeffreyLAT latimes.com/world-nation/s…

I've moved into a brand new role at the @latimes: News and Culture Critic. I'll be doing more of what I love - riffing on media, news and pop culture in real time - but through a wider lens. Shaping the role as I go because I'm a chaos junkie. Buckle up latimes.com/about/pressrel… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

I love end-of-year podcast lists because I get to see all of the goodies I should've listened to this past year that I can catch up on for the next few months. But I ESPECIALLY love this list for including Foretold! 🌟 Thank you @laurenpassell, as always, for the love. twitter.com/laurenpassell/…

The Shusters are frustrated by the campsites set up right on their property. Migrants, to build fires, have uprooted trees and other brush. On Sept. 30, Jerry Shuster shot off his gun while arguing with migrants. He was arrested and his gun confiscated. latimes.com/california/sto…

@jbenmenachem Totally. She also said in the interview that he suffered from depression and mental health issues, which seems possibly more relevant to the case than the fact that he is nice.

@jbenmenachem Fine. It's like that. But it's still terribly relevant. And I imagine in different circumstances you would change your tune. Though I am happy to discuss offline :)

@jbenmenachem Of course we should care about what the people close to a shooter have to say. Taking a mother's view with a (big) grain of salt, fam and friends are often the best way for media and the broader public to understand who the shooter was, what their motivations might have been.

Jesse Dominguez was killed by a CHP officer on the 105 Freeway in LA on Sunday. “I’ve pretty much ‘backed the blue’ in a lot of circumstances,” said the man’s stepmother. “Now I have a completely different stance. This is absolutely police brutality.” latimes.com/california/sto…
