RIP Art Laboe, the heartbeat of L.A. for nearly 70 yrs, who invented the oldie in real time, a human jukebox of lowrider soul, somewhere between Cupid and Vin Scully, offering eternal reassurance that there was always someone dedicated, waiting up late w/ an always requited love.

Quit your day jobs. #Resign #LACityCouncil

Don't be mad, UPS is hiring

To quote Marcellus Wallace: "you lost your LA privileges." #Resign #LACityCouncil

That's 1.

Up on the site today: the story of Fredid Toledo who escaped a youth haunted by the violence of gang culture and decided to find redemption by spreading the word with @homiesunidos in hope of making a difference for the next generation. thelandmag.com/homies-unidos-…

An important story about the perils of gang life, the power of redemption, and the important work being done in Pico-Union by Homies Unidos. @juanvegadesoto profiles Fredid "Flaco" Toledo, but reveals much more about L.A. culture. For 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗟𝗔𝗻𝗱 thelandmag.com/homies-unidos-…

Must-read material.

Wrote this story on Ryan Garcia almost exactly 4 years ago for inaugural issue of 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗟𝗔𝗻𝗱. If he’s able to pull off the upset and beat Gervonta Davis, it could kickstart him becoming one of boxing’s biggest box office draws of all-time. thelandmag.com/ryan-garcia-bo…

Many thanks to ReligionCommunicator for this honor. My 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗟𝗔𝗻𝗱 profile of a demon-exorcising, TikTok-famous Los Angeles faith healer has won a 2023 Wilbur Award

Wrote this profile on RYAN GARCIA four years ago for 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗟𝗔𝗻𝗱 examining if he had what it takes to become Gen-Z's boxing matinee idol. A win over Tank Davis fast tracks him to a level of adulation not seen since Oscar De La Hoya. thelandmag.com/ryan-garcia-bo…
