As we head to the home stretch for election day, I’m doing my diligence on the choices for City Council. And was shocked to come across two Instagram posts featuring Councilmember Lana Negrete at RFK Jr. campaign events, posing with Kennedy at one and Jenny McCarthy in another.

As a father with young children, RFK Jr & Jenny McCarthy’s history of promoting dangerous vaccine misinformation makes this incredibly concerning and disqualifying

Has she publicly addressed this?

Lost black male cat with tipped ear and missing fur on nose. He literally went missing the night he was adopted by someone in Santa Monica! I am very devastated as the cat was very attached to me. he had been a stray I took in but couldn’t keep (my cat attacked him)
This really sucks as the cat was from over here in Glendora which is pretty far and VERY different than hectic Santa Monica. I’ve gone out there searching three times since October 21st when he went missing and yes I’ve put up posters and online PawBoost etc

Hi friends,

In case you did not know, Meals on Wheels West also delivers pet food to many of our clients with pets who cannot afford to buy the food themselves. Our Pet Pantry relies on generous donations to make that possible.

This week, we've already had many requests for dry dog food, and we've exhausted our current supply. Any donations of this Blue Buffalo dog kibble off of our Amazon Wish List would really help us reach those clients who need it. Donating through our wish list link sends the gift directly to our office.

Thank you to anyone who is able to donate, and if you do, please email [development@mealsonwheelswest.org](mailto:development@mealsonwheelswest.org) a copy of your receipt so that we can send you a donation acknowledgment.

Anyone have any insight to living at sway apartments in Santa Monica? (525 broadway) Everything I see is from a few years ago. Hoping to get some feedback based on current experience. I also feel people only post reviews when they have negative things to say, not positive. So just hoping for some genuinely helpful insight. I really enjoyed my tour.

All the newer builds around there are more expensive and frankly units are too small for the price. I do tend to lean toward complexes that are gated for safety reasons. If anyone has any other recommendations for good experiences, I’d welcome any feedback!

In honor of all the cyclist who flood Santa Monica with their tears over cars parking in bike lanes and how scary it is for them I give to you this Santa Monica bike rider. Phone was in my pocket so didn’t get a shot of the cars who had to avoid him in their lanes as he road against traffic down the middle of Pico, but you get the idea.

At least he wasn’t riding on the side walk and hey look how pretty that sunset is.
