Hey HB folks, heads up. A local white nationalist with a history of violence, Ryan Sanchez, is holding a vigil for Charlie Kirk on the pier at 7PM. He’s been calling for violence against the left for a long time and has been actively recruiting. Advise you stay away, nothing good will happen.

Everyone in LA is sharing this story on insta, and I just want to make sure non-Angelenos know about this bear that crawled under a house during the fires. He had to be lured out with rotisserie chickens. Read it. You deserve a little treat.

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

Friends of mine were out of town when the fire took their home. Their cats are still missing. They're aware of the resources, but obviously everyone is overwhelmed. Please keep an eye out for Scout (female tortoiseshell) & Moxie (female orange tabby), last seen in Altadena before the fire. Thanks.
