Back when I wrote for the LA Weekly, I was queen of the Best of issues. I always loved the opportunity to give some a boost to my favorite shops and restaurants and service providers. Plus, it was fun to play with the annual themes and the minimal word count. This one that I wrote during the summer of 2008 has always been one of my favorite Best of pieces, and I thought to share it with you because it's weather-appropriate, and I think you'll dig it.
The retarded monkeys that took over/ruined the once legendary alt-weekly and literary haven that was the LA Weekly have removed all the illustrations that accompanied the ten-years' worth of articles I wrote for them. And, while I'm sure I have the finely rendered ink version of this logo that I drew in an external hard drive somewhere, hunting for it isn't really the wisest use of my time. Trust me, my chicken-scratchy version was nothing short of adorable.
Addendum: My super awesome assistant, Asha, found the original illustration, which is included here. Yay.
Emily and I tackled the Aubrey threesome situation by way of my own experience dating a married couple, which made the cover of the LA Weekly back in 2008. We also dive into the latest shenanigans from our favorite WHINEstein brothers.

In this solo episode, Dani unpacks how ChatGPT subtly rewrites history and perpetuates ideological spin — using the Santa Fe Obelisk protest as a case study in AI-driven propaganda. She calls out the not-so-neutral role language models play in reshaping public perception, especially around contentious cultural moments.
Then, for a tonal pivot with teeth, Dani reads Happily Never After, the biting, hilarious opening essay from her (as yet unpublished) book Love in the Time of Chemtrails. Think mushroom-fueled bridal boutique satire meets brutal truths about modern relationships, mommy issues, and post-second wave feminist disillusionment.
