City paints over 2nd Street Tunnel graffiti. Taggers return within hours
Video footage posted by user @grafftv appeared to show people spray-painting new graffiti on top of blank walls as motorists drove by.
'Less than 24 hours after the 2nd Street tunnel in downtown Los Angeles was painted a sterile white for the first time in over six months, the city's graffiti underground roared back to life,' the user posted. 'What had been a clean slate at noon became by midnight a living gallery of street expression, filled with burners, rollers, and painted signatures from L.A.'s most well known vandals.'
City officials did not immediately respond to an inquiry about whether or when they would repaint the walls of the tunnel, which was finished in 1924 and runs from South Figueroa Street to Hill Street.
The 1,500-foot white-tiled tunnel is an L.A. landmark, featured in Hollywood movies such as the sci-fi epic 'Blade Runner' and the biographical drama 'The Soloist.' It is also a popular location for car commercials, with more than 70 shot there between 2006 and 2009.

Jessie J Reveals She Was Hospitalized 6 Weeks After Breast Cancer Surgery: ‘Not Expected'
Singer Jessie J is facing an unexpected health setback as she continues to recover from breast cancer surgery. 'How I spent the last 24 hours,' Jessie, 37, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, August 3, sharing a photo of an IV connected to her arm. 'Six weeks post-surgery, and I was back in the same ward I was after my surgery. Not expected or planned.' She added, 'I had, and still have, symptoms that pointed towards a blood clot on the lung. IT IS NOT A BLOOD CLOT, THANK GOD.' According to the 'Price Tag' singer, her doctors ran a bunch of tests that concluded she had a currently unknown type of infection and 'a little fluid' in her lungs. Jessie J Says She Had '5 Breast Biopsies' Before Concert Amid Cancer Battle: 'Didn't Want to Cancel' 'Finding it hard to breathe in, but I discharged myself last night. I hate being in [the] hospital,' Jessie added in her social media update. '[I] will continue the investigation as an outpatient.' In a follow-up slide, Jessie defended her decision to check out of the emergency room early. 'I know many people who will have gone through this or similar may agree with me or not, and that's OK,' she wrote. 'I know, for me, the true hard journey of this whole thing physically was the day I went into surgery. The recovery, physically, is far from quick or easy.' Jessie revealed in June that she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer that required surgical intervention to remove the malignant tissue. Jessie underwent the procedure on June 23, later revealing that all of the cancerous spots had been removed. While Jessie has been recovering, her partner, Chanan Colman, has taken on the brunt of parenting duties with their 2-year-old son, Sky. Stars Who Beat Cancer: Sharon Osbourne, Ewan McGregor and More 'Mentally it's been the most challenging time for me, especially as a mum with a toddler and being unable to be the mother I usually am,' Jessie explained in her Sunday post. 'And having to change the plans for my career for this year has been frustrating after working so hard to get to this point and excited to do it all. It's life, I know that.' She added, 'Don't get me wrong — getting the all clear was and is incredible, but that result didn't speed up or make the recovery from the surgery any easier physically." Jessie also wanted to remind herself to 'slow tf down' to let her body heal. 'This isn't a speedy recovery, and it isn't meant to be,' the musician said. 'That slow pace has been a hard reality to accept. I love moving and working and being up and active, but I can't be right now, and that's what it is. I am finding the strength in knowing that all can be adjusted to align with a slower pace and the support of my very small inner support circle.' Solve the daily Crossword

Video: Toddler Taking Golden Retriever Out for Walk Is Truly Wholesome
Mornings hit different when they start with a peaceful and refreshing walk with your furbaby. Popular opinion also suggests that it can be a simple yet effective way to bond with your pets. Since that's the case, a toddler took her Golden Retriever out for a walk while her parents captured the wholesome experience in a video that has since gone viral on Instagram. The clip might just be too-cute-to-handle as it shared the conversations she had with her dog during the walk. Toddler has a full-fledged conversation with Golden Retriever on walk in video When you're both a parent and a pet owner, watching your little one bond with your furbaby is nothing short of heartwarming. The best way to nurture a connection is by letting them make the most of their playtime together or going on adventurous strolls across the neighborhood. A mom documented her toddler going on a wholesome walk with their Golden Retriever and having a full-fledged conversation on their journey together. 'I put a mic on our 2-year-old to hear her conversation with our dogs,' the in-video text explained. The little girl, Lily, who appeared to be speaking Japanese throughout, seemed ecstatic about the walk with their pups. However, she exercised caution and proper safety measures throughout. The clips showed her asking their dog, Lady, to be careful while marching side by side. She even warned her about an incoming car and told her how it was 'dangerous.' The video further showed the toddler alerting the Golden Retriever about more dangers during their walk. She advised the fluffball to look out for spider webs and roses because 'it goes poke poke.' The duo even picked out a dandelion, tried to blow it together, and crossed the road under strict safety measures. They later went after butterflies, talked some more, and Lily also helped clean up Lady's 'poo poo.' After returning home, the little girl helped clean her furry sibling's paws, proving that her attention to detail is truly remarkable. She even praised the pup for being a 'good girl' while showing her extreme levels of care. The post Video: Toddler Taking Golden Retriever Out for Walk Is Truly Wholesome appeared first on DogTime.

YouTube Experiments With New Display of Collaborators on Clips
This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. YouTube's testing a new option that will enable creators to add collaborators to the video title display, in order to help showcase a broader range of creators across its clips. As explained by YouTube: 'We're starting to test a feature that allows creators to add collaborators to a video. Adding collaborators allows content to be recommended to each of the creators' audiences. We're starting this test with a small group of creators at first, but we'll keep you posted on our plans to expand it to more creators.' As you can see in this example from the latest video posted by MrBeast, the new option will display collaborators on a video both via their channel avatars, which will be stacked alongside each other, and within the creator listing beneath the title. Tap on the '…and 3 more' tag and you'll get a full title listing of the channels that have collaborated on the clip. The option is similar to the collaborative tools available on Instagram or TikTok, providing a simple way to showcase a partner profile within the video description. Which could be a valuable connector and promotional tool, providing a more direct link through to collaborating channels, which could see more traffic headed their way, especially if they collaborate with a bigger channel. It's worth noting, however, that YouTube has been encouraging creator collaborations for years, with its YouTube Academy training resource including a whole segment on collaborating with others, and how to do so effectively. So collaborations, in themselves, are not new, but YouTube's looking for a better way to highlight these partnerships within the content itself, so that creators get equal share of the benefits from their shared clips. And it's a logical, simple way to do this, which people are already used to in other apps. As such, this seems very likely to be expanded to all YouTube channels in the near future.
