The Week in Short Video - Streetsblog California
"L.A. Metro announced Friday May 8 as the opening day for four new miles of subway extending from Koreatown to Beverly Hills. The new Metro D Line extension will whisk riders from Beverly Hills to Downtown L.A. in just 20 minutes. And that's not all! This is just the first of three under-construction D Line extensions totaling nine miles - all expected to open in advance of the 2028 Olympics/Paralympics."
"Remember last week's 'conspiracy theory' edition where Damien noticed how poorly videos do on TikTok that mention the president in a negative light? He experimented with it again this week. The following video had ZERO VIEWS on TikTok after six hours, so he changed the lead to make it less critical of Republicans. The new video garnered a modest 400 views."
