Recently, I realized that most people in Los Angeles have the same taste in shoes. I decided to walk to the end of a sample sale line, about 200 people deep, and do a little fashion observation. If there’s one place to get inspiration, it’s there. The clothes ranged from bohemian to casual chic, but they all had one thing in common: shoes. While there are endless styles to choose from, LA residents’ three go-to styles are Birkenstock sandals, colorful low-tops, and dad sneakers, all of which fit the city’s laid-back, cool-girl vibe. Here are the summer footwear LA girls…

As California Attorney General, she refused to defend Proposition 8, a voter-approved measure that would have allowed courts to invalidate same-sex marriages.

The bill introduced in the state assembly raises the risk that democratic organisations that express social grievances through non-violent protests will be labelled as Maoist fronts. There is no way to distinguish between social activists and covert Maoists. Six years after gaining notoriety in the 2018 Bhima Koregaon massacre, Urban Naxals are once again seeking to terrorise residents with the Maharashtra Special Public Safety Bill, which was introduced in the outgoing state assembly but failed to pass and there are fears it could be promulgated as an ordinance before the next government is formed later this year. The public’s fear…

Introducing the Club Car UTV, a small, neighborhood-legal electric vehicle that, according to its manufacturer, combines the practicality of a pickup truck with the efficiency of a golf cart for transporting crews and materials around the job site. In fact, it’s so good that it has me asking myself: “Is this the most practical electric pickup truck you can buy?” Now that the Tesla Cybertruck has become the best-selling electric pickup truck in the US, I think it’s time to ask ourselves what makes a truck a truck, because flat sides, low polygons, and post-apocalyptic wedge shapes just don’t do…
