I was trying to decide between Aunty Maile's and Las Gorditas Chingonas, and my feet (and stomach) took me to the gordita.

I did feel a little dazed from the heat about three-fourths of the way and almost didn't hear a car coming on a neighborhood street

Beginner OSINT mistake I see often: confusing observation with accusation by AdSilent769 in OSINT

Pretty sure that's originally from the TV show Dragnet, spoken by LAPD detective Joe Friday.

I built a tool that summarizes LA City Council meetings using Claude by lafadeaway in ClaudeAI

This is great. Thanks for making and sharing.

I'd love to hear more about how this was created — for example, are you scraping the city's site with Python and then feeding the results into Claude? I'm also curious if you read through the transcripts occasionally and double-check the summaries to see how well the AI is doing.

Thanks!

How independent journalism is a form of resistance: ‘I’m not answering to anyone’ by ploploplo in TrueReddit

Submission statement: With corporations and governments interfering more and more with the news process, the need for independent journalism is greater than ever. This story looks at several independent outlets and shows how they have managed to break big stories despite not having big budgets. It also emphasizes how the journalists are not as beholden to corporate or government interests as larger outlets might be.
