Our coverage yesterday on dueling rallies between supporters of Israel & Palestinians at @UCLA. Both sides reported aggression but the rallies were largely peaceful. No arrests or suspensions. bit.ly/3UiWuSw @corinnepurtill @ByIanJames @paigestjohn @safinazzal
Had a great time talking with my @latimes colleague Judeh the Sheep Puppet (aka @safinazzal) about Disneyland’s wonderful decision to convert Autopia to electric cars — and why electric cars won’t solve all our problems, either. Video on Instagram: instagram.com/reel/C6NHUAypf…
Lots of rain, but not enough snow? Master puppeteer @safinazzal explains California’s “snow drought,” and the role played by fossil fueled climate change, for @latimes: m.youtube.com/shorts/0oIZYlf…

And let me just reiterate...De Los isn't gone. @fidmart85 @A_MartinaIbanez @JessicaPerezLA2 @Spacehoes_ are still there and will do an amazing job of building on the legacy. Please still read De Los!!!!

My team at De Los was gutted. I can't find the words to express how much I feel for them and the rest of my @latimes colleagues. For many, working here was THE dream job; others, uprooted their lives. For all of us, it's a privilege to tell stories that reflect our communities
Breaking my silence on this site for one thing: If you were laid off at LA Times, here’s a list of journo job resources. DM me (same handle elsewhere) if you need leads on emergency grants for a colleague w/critical need (ex: imminent loss of housing). ❤️ lapressclub.org/job-boards-new…
What beats are not a hollowed-out shell at the LA Times? How many non-white journalists got fired today? How does management expect to grow their audience when you fire the people who do the work of growing your audience? What if we ran news like a public service and not a biz?
This sucks so badly. The LA Times 404 team was so good and such an inspiration to the few of us out there trying to make journalism accessible to young people via TikTok/Reels. Hoping the best for them and all the others who lost their jobs today 😔

I'll also miss my incredible colleague @marinashutup. I can attest a very fun person on slack. Thanks for teaching me about landlords, metro, and inspiring me to dig into local stories. We are losing a good one.

I'm eternally grateful to @angiejaime for letting this puppeteer into the newsroom. Thank you for your leadership, for teaching me the ropes, and for giving Southern California a real gem of local journalism. LAT lost you, but journalism/young ppl writ large are lucky you exist
16 months without a contract. Cleaving staff without a plan. This isn't surgery. It's butchery. I'll be joining my @latguild family and walking out tomorrow. I still believe in the L.A. Times. If you do too, see you in Grand Park tomorrow.

idk i feel like if you're saying THIS and also targeting the press, and also bombing hospitals, and also bombing schools, and also refusing to allow resources in, and also ignoring pleas from the UN & the WHO, and also bombing the places where you told civilians to evacuate to...
Seriously, just a couple of minutes to watch this:
@KamilMPoet @NaomiAKlein If genuine introspection and an effort to make amends is worthless, no one anywhere at any time has any reason to change.
Soon, the last sliver of electricity and connection will be exhausted. If I die, remember that I, we, were individuals, humans, we had names, dreams, and achievements, and our only fault was that we were just classified as inferior.
Where will they go? How can they leave? There is a blockade in place, the border with Egypt is closed …

I couldn't find a single article on the New Republic about the drowned migrants except for this one. Meanwhile they have written three stories on the missing submersible. Stones and glass homes and whatnot. newrepublic.com/article/173808…

I got to meet Judeh at the LA Times Festival of Books and my life is now complete. Re: #EVs, as @Sammy_Roth said, don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. And remember, you can’t recycle car exhaust but we’re already recycling lithium. And walk more!

Unending thanks to all who came Sunday. Best friends in the world. To quote @JayyH, who was there: “I was born in raised in L.A. Fantasy is life, fantasy is love. But fantasy also has to be truthful & honest. And fantasy should always keep up with innovation and what’s possible.”
So much makes me happy abt this @latimes piece that I gotta thread. To start, no, EVs aren't a silver bullet--we never said they were. We all gotta use more mass transit. Fix our cities, stop wasting so much, as @edwardhumes so brilliantly and pointedly writes in his new book.
How did a small group of electric vehicle advocates convince Disney to overhaul its classic Autopia ride? Here's the behind-the-scenes story, in my latest @latimes Boiling Point column: latimes.com/environment/ne…

He also had an eye for proportion. Even when he wore narrow lapel jackets (trendy in the late 1960s), he paired them with narrow ties. Your tie's width should always echo the width of your lapels. It sounds like a small thing, but things look off when there's a mismatch.
