Don’t fawn over celebrities, use your turn signals and, perhaps most important, appreciate legendary Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully. There are others, of course, and you can add your own. It’s all part of loving L.A.

motherjones:
theatlantic:
A Gallup poll released today found that 53 percent of respondents believed “marriages between same-sex couples” should be legal, “with the same rights as traditional marriages.” It’s an all-time high—that question has never gotten more than 50 percent support in Gallup poll.

The Old-Fashioned Way
Sharon Raydor: And as a woman, don’t you feel an obligation to at least give it a try?
Brenda Leigh Johnson: As a woman, I feel I’ve earned the right to options and one of my options should be to say no.
Sharon Raydor: You don’t think that I wanted to spend my career in Internal Affairs, doing a job that leaves me disliked and mistrusted by my fellow officers every day of my life? No, I chose IA because I thought it was the quickest way to achieve rank. And I also thought it’d be good for the department to see a woman in a captain’s uniform, and of course, you got your job the old-fashioned way.
Brenda Leigh Johnson: How’s that?
Sharon Raydor: By sleeping with the boss. Oh, it’s not an insult; it is a time-honored way of moving forward. But those roads are not open to everyone, and you have the chance to maybe change that a little.
Brenda Leigh Johnson: So you’re saying I should take the job whether I want it or not.
Sharon Raydor: Yes. Please make the oh-so-terrible sacrifice of accepting a promotion that offers you more money, prestige, and power than any other job in the city. And if it will help you with the suffering, you’ll not only be a positive role-model for little girls all over this country, but I personally will feel very…I will feel very proud to have a chief that I can truly admire.
