Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.

Zuckerberg holds a majority of voting power in his company. That he should see it as “out of touch” isn’t a criticism of woke Dems. It’s a criticism of the way he himself capitulates and blows with the political winds. He's at war with himself. Has been for years. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Today, a brush fire started in Pacific Palisades fueled by extremely high winds.
At the Getty Villa, some trees & vegetation on site have burned, but no structures are on fire, and staff and the collection remain safe.
The Villa is closed to non-emergency staff and the public.

VP Harris and Secretary Clinton—two people who have dedicated their lives to this country. I’m eternally grateful for both of these amazing public servants!

I remember back four years ago and what a catastrophe it was to see the then President just sitting tight in the White House watching TV for three hours while one of the most disgraceful events in USA history was taking place. Now today I wonder what this day will look like four years from now?

Trump has lost his mind; take care of domestic problems before you start annexing Canada, Greenland, the Panama Canal, etc. They don't want you & many of the citizens don't want you either. Perhaps hanging around Musk so much has led DT to think that he can buy anything, including other countries.

If you live in LA make sure your devices are charged and do whatever else you need to do to be prepared in an emergency. The power is starting to go on and off.

As someone who spent years reporting on Zuckerberg, I've struggled to find something coherent to say about today. Then @cwarzel.bsky.social reminded me of my old reporting.
This is what a FB employee said to me in 2020 after Zuckerberg addressed workers following FB-enabled violence in Kenosha, WI.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

The US is the only country in history to not punish the leader of an attempted coup that wasn't successful. Trump should be in jail for life.

Rudy Giuliani, pictured here sweating soy sauce while being kicked in the testicles, has been found in contempt by a New York judge for not turning over his assets to the two Georgia election workers he defamed for years.
Also holding Giuliani in contempt: Everyone.
