One year ago today, I snapped this photo as I quickly left my Altadena community during the Eaton Fire.
I remember the wind more than anything, how relentless it was, how fast the fire moved, and how suddenly everything changed. In a matter of moments, lives were upended and homes were lost.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
