The Age of Instagram Face How social media, FaceTune, and plastic surgery created a single, cyborgian look. Fascinating to see how the current beauty aesthetic, where pretty much every influencer has the same face, has come to be.

Besides, I would love to say that looks don’t matter, but they do.

Activists and Council Members Want to Know Why Many L.A. Hotels Aren’t Housing the Homeless: “Last Friday, Davon Brown, an unhoused organizer who lives in Echo Park, walked into the Ritz-Carlton at L.A. Live and announced that he was looking to book a room. Dressed in sunglasses and a blazer, Brown told staffers he was a famous musician who needed a place to stay in the coming weeks and requested a tour. He was promptly escorted to a suite on the hotel’s 22nd floor. Once he got there, he revealed his true identity.
“I’m not famous,” said Brown, removing his sunglasses. “I’m homeless. I live in Echo Park. And I’m not leaving this hotel until Mayor Garcetti comes and takes hold of these vacancies.”” THE power move to end all power moves. At the same time, it’s devastating that this is apparently the only way to try to get a literal roof over your head. In the middle of a pandemic.
