Ted Lieu endorsed the MAGA candidate in my city council race

Post image
335 Upvotes

I previously posted that the mayor of El Segundo and current city council candidate Chris Pimentel is MAGA (https://www.reddit.com/r/SouthBayLA/s/3VBPC67nu7). Well to my great disappointment, Ted just endorsed him over the only registered Democrat and progressive in the race, John Pickhaver.

Can we talk about how much Ted Lieu sucks? I used to vote for him every single time without question, but he's done nothing to resist fascism in Washington DC except writing strongly worded letters and trolling. He's funded by corporations and pro-Israel lobbyists (https://whofundsmyrep.com/rep/ted-lieu?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVN8PBjbGNrBU3w6GV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEe1--3ZNFTVD_v1ED8DptctkqguT-_4NHV5T5FqZjPa-zfSgp28B_U17dyJu0_aem_vLBK2MOjO3mj2leuYc4aZQ), and has voted to fund the military without limiting Trump's power.

Hello everyone. I hope this is okay to post. I just wanted to post this flyer for West High. The girls from the dance class are having their annual haunted house this Friday. I work there as a custodian, and it's fun to watch them build this from beginning to end. I know the proceeds go to their dance workshops and competitions. Hope you guys can make it and support them

EV drivers with Edison, notice the Winter Rates price gouging?

Post image
98 Upvotes

This is their Winter Rates for TOU-D-PRIME, which is meant for EV drivers. It’s no longer cost effective to charge overnight when the grid is less strained. We’re not home most days to charge at 8AM. I just filed a complaint to the CA Public Utilities Board.

Looking for drummer (South Bay/South LA, CA)

7 Upvotes

Currently looking for an intermediate to moderate drummer for alternative rock band (singer/guitar, bassist, guitar) in Compton, CA.

We are interested in recording original music and performing in live shows. We usually practice weekly on the weekends at a local studio in long beach.

Drummer would need to have their own transportation and kit for live performances but can use the studio set for practice.

We are all males around 33yo and working full time. Please DM me if interested and willing to commit to meeting once a week and potentially twice a week to prepare for shows.

Thanks!

***ALL ARE CLAIMED***

I have some vouchers that I got at Midsummer Scream that I won’t use. They all expire on 11/1/26. The event is located at South Coast Botanical Garden. Regular price tix are about $27-$38.

Also of note you can’t combine the vouchers so if you’re going with a family you’ll have to make separate reservations.

Let me know if you’re interested!

Torrance mattress store that know about support for bigger sleepers?

5 Upvotes

I'm 290 and most mattress advice is written for people who aren't. Two beds in a row have gone soft in the middle inside three years, both well reviewed, neither cheap, so I figure I'm buying the wrong category and not the wrong brand.

What I think I need is higher coil count or denser foam, maybe both and a straight answer on weight limits rather than a shrug. Sit'n Sleep was reasonable when I asked but I'd like to compare before i decide. Who in the South Bay is going to have that conversation?

SCE Bill

9 Upvotes

Hello, fellow South Bay residents who live in the RB area apartments, what does your SCE monthly bill look like?

I've been paying ~100/month on average for a 1bd apt. 700sqft ish. I've always been under Tier 1 (DOMESTIC rate plan) except for last month since I was using a ton of portable window AC. I also have 100% Green Power for Generation. The total ~100/month bill includes the basic service charge of ~25/month that went into effect in Nov 2025.

Meanwhile, my friend who is also in RB pays 50/month, including the basic service charge. Similar 1bd apt. Same zip code.

I'm definitely overpaying but have no idea why. What are you paying, and what's your apt (i.e., # of bd, sqft) layout?

Especially in Manhattan Beach. I see a bunch of these old cop cars sitting in retail parking lots (Target, BevMo, etc). Are these supposed to be a shop lifting deterrent? They look like comical movie props.
