Dodger Stadium will host Olympic baseball in 2028 while surfers will hope to ride the waves to the podium in San Clemente, as organizers unveiled many of the venues for the Los Angeles Olympics. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/olympics/2025/04/16/los-angeles-olympic-venues/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #olympics #losangeles #2028losangelesolympics #dodgerstadium

Not having Teoscar in the lineup means Dodger bat's clutch threat level has gone way down.

You know, ending up stranded in #losangeles due to a horrible relationship decision about a year ago was not a fun experience.

Being #homeless off and on in LA was also terrifying, and it isn't something I would repeat.

I also kinda hate the chaos at times, and miss the rain of the PNW.

But once I figured out all the hoops to get help, it was useful as there were more resources here than anywhere else.

Though I dream of rain.

I might end up in Portland again soon.

Instead of another dystopian future, this TED-Ed #animation shows an optimistic vision of 2125. It imagines cities where public transit and urban farms replace highways, mangroves protect restored coastlines, and mushrooms clean polluted soil.

Based on the "solarpunk" movement, it demonstrates how existing technologies in #LosAngeles, #Lagos, and #SãoPaulo could create sustainable urban environments where #nature, #technology, and humans thrive together.

I want to say that tonight's Dodger win should've come at a much easier pace (too many squandered scoring opportunities), but hey, a win is a win. Just as a 16-0 loss is just a loss.

More wee little bits!
