Thursday - Streetsblog L.A. looks at L.A. City's newest way to avoid making its streets safe by pretending that street repaving is not actually repaving any more, but just "large asphalt repair."

Today - Damien just couldn't help himself. The thought of Tesla losing a lawsuit just filled him with holiday cheer.
