Spencer Pratt is in trouble for saying LA should – Latest News
1. Just make them fairly, silly
by Mike Solana
America’s favourite future president Spencer Pratt is in some trouble after arguing LA should be “beautiful” again, and “No more of these high-density, SB-79, prison-like structures. We need to bring Art Deco back.” Housing advocates are livid, and look, high-density is important. But Pratt particularly referred to as out the disgusting cookie cutter Lego-looking plastic box buildings of the kind all of us — or all of us with a soul — hate. The downside right here is YIMBYs spent the final decade+ associating the phrase “high-density” with “ugly,” even typically explicitly defending ugliness to some ambiguous far off utilitarian finish. Frankly, I believe Spencer is simply confused, and new to this, and could be wonderful with high-density deco buildings, that are already throughout LA. And that confusion is on YIMBYs, who will now sadly study the onerous manner: If you inform people ugly issues are good, they’ll simply assume you’re evil. Just make issues fairly, silly.

2. Spin-N-Out
by Riley Nork
The California Post studies that a deliberate retail and eating vacation spot in Irvine, CA will characteristic one (1) new In-N-Out chain, and since most information popping out of this godforsaken state of late has revolved round such enjoyable topics as “another homeless man stabs Whole Foods shopper” or “another billionaire job creator chooses Miami over living under communism,” dyslexic Gov. Gavin is seizing the chance to toot his own horn more durable than Marilyn Manson post-rib removing. “IN CALIFORNIA YOU SAY?!” tweeted out the social media girlie operating his press account in response to the In-N-Out information. And look: it’s simple to get misplaced in all of the horrible issues about this state, people. But in case you merely devour a 250mg weed edible from the native minority-owned dispensary, and permit your self to neglect inconvenient information like In-N-Out’s CEO transferring her household out of California particularly citing the state’s horrible business climate… issues really aren’t so dangerous!
3. Have you tried Jesus?
by Mike Solana
Venture capitalist Deedy Das went viral over the weekend with a Twitter post on the “frenetic” vibes of San Francisco, the place one thing like 10,000 people have ridden AI to generational wealth, whereas the average depressed engineer is caught in a hopeless $500,000 a 12 months job (??), or at the least till Hal 9000 eradicates the idea of employment. Now, tech employees are demanding ever-higher salaries and quickly switching corporations, as they attempt to hop into the subsequent scorching factor earlier than this wild trip ends, whereas even the wealthy are sad, as abrupt, extraordinary wealth has left them purposeless. Well, congratulations, we’re in yet one more delirious tech industry hype cycle, in which a actual technological breakthrough has given strategy to surreal expectations from life, as town attracts 1000’s of money-obsessed lunatics. A bit of advice from a 3x growth survivor: Find some pals who don’t care about these things, and actually simply go outdoors.
The vibes in SF really feel fairly frenetic proper now. The divide in outcomes is the worst I’ve ever seen.Over the final 5yrs, a group of ~10k people – staff at Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Nvidia, Meta TBD, founders – have hit retirement wealth of effectively above $20M (back of the envelope…— Deedy (@deedydas) May 16, 2026
