I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

The man ICE shot in Austin today is named Wilber Rafael Garces Perez. Per his lawyer, she and Perez’s family were run off of hospital property where he’s being treated and won’t even confirm he’s there because he’s “in ICE custody.” Actual criminals.

One thing I haven’t seen brought up about Coyote vs ACME is the score. That is a gorgeous, hilarious score. As many in-jokes as the scripted movie, easily, but it doesn’t feel overly wink wink nudge nudge. Just a full, lush score. RECORDED WITH A FULL ORCHESTRA AND CHOIR

"I won’t even begin to discuss the mismanagement of Lineage Fire, smoke, exposure, and misinformation; that would take too many pages, but add that to the mismanagement of the Palisades recovery, and homelessness, and the deflecting and finger-pointing that happens," Segura writes. A must-read!

Segura describes working in an administration where climate action was sidelined — she held three jobs at once! — forcing her to deliver more with fewer resources. She also highlights broader institutional patterns that affected other climate-related departments like tree planting
What my office was asked to do The ordinance, Los Angeles Administrative Code Section 22.362 (I think this was recently amended), assigned the Climate Emergency Mobilization Office emissions tracking, mitigation, and adaptation programs (which were folded into the Heat Action Plan), and community climate assemblies, for which I developed the Climate Equity LA Series. A 2022 amendment added the Chief Heat Officer role and a Heat Action Plan. Those additions came to me on top of the job I already had, so I held three roles at once: Director of the office, Executive Director of the 19-member Climate Emergency Mobilization
Commission, and Chief Heat Officer. The office started with one person: me, and that work of starting up and building the office wasn't recognized as additional; I had to fight for every dollar and staff member. I fought for years to build the staff the ordinance's duties required (which did not include the CAAP). Under the Bass administration, the budget shrank each year to a fraction of the original allocation, until the office was two people with no community engagement
funds. The ordinance's duties did not shrink with it.The pattern My office was one item on a longer list of climate programs impacted by this Mayoral administration. The Environmental Justice unit in City Planning was eliminated. The Urban Forestry Officer was moved out of the Board of Public Works. The Biodiversity Program at LA Sanitation was slashed. This doesn't even begin to explain the damage done by reducing the various Bureaus we need for infrastructure, street shade and trees, and grant writing and project management. We have lost so many grant opportunities because
the City has lost capacity in that arena too. The Urban Forest Management Plan, the City's roadmap for growing and protecting tree canopy, has sat unadopted for more than two years, stalled in the same budget office process that absorbed the climate plan. Los Angeles County adopted its own forest plan in October 2024. The City still lists its
plan as "in development. The City trims its street trees on a cycle far slower than the five-year standard, at nearly double the per-tree cost found in the 2019 audit, and
finished a year past deadline still 20,000 trees short of its own planting goal.

With all due respect to the people holding “ICE out” signs at the Menlo Park and Palo Alto farmers markets, a sign that said “if you work for Palantir you are building fascism” might be more locally impactful.

Chuckles used to work in the PE department at a community college, and when they were moving offices she let me sift through a lot of the "crap" they were throwing away. Treasures. Play a weird party game tonight in her honor. She would like that.
Metal box labeled "A-M" with a bunch of index cards inside sorted by "DEFROSTERS," "STUNTS," "GET ACQUAINTED," "INACTIVE GAMES" "SPECIAL EVENTS" etc. There is also a red kazoo and a dead pink balloon in the box.Detail of "BALLROOM NOVELTIES" section of index cards indicates that there are cards for a snowball dance, informal exchange, "freeze," "skeleton dance," "lemon dance," "number please," "fall back one," and so on. I believe I am going to look further at the lemon dance.

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottomA nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."A mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine.
