I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the United States government isn’t a tech startup. Also of note: 90% of startups fail.

You know who believes in climate change...house insurance companies

These firefighters are amazing, man. They are helping my friend’s cul-de-sac prepare for the worst right now. Cutting vegetation, putting outdoor furniture into garage, duct taping vents, etc. They do so much more than we know to protect us.

9am view of Eaton fire from East LA. Hoping the winds die down tonight so they can start to curb it.

Can I just say it’s incredibly irresponsible of the LA Times to put their (very detailed and reliable) fire map behind a paywall

I'm on the late shift covering the impact of these Los Angeles fires, and looking to speak to people who have evacuated so far, and whose homes and businesses have been affected. If that's you or someone you know, send them my way: [email protected].

View of the Eaton fire from East LA. News is reporting that helicopters are grounded because of the wind, and it’s going to pick up overnight. Really scary.

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.

Me watching a film. 1. Start watching. 2. Wonder what I’ve seen one of the actors in before. 3. Google actor. 4. Go to IMDb/their Wikipedia page. 5. Find out every single detail of their entire life. 6. Realise I’ve completely missed the plot of the film and now have no idea what’s going on.

Sure, LA has horrible traffic, high rent, not enough housing, bad air quality, not enough public transportation, water shortages, everything is too spread out, and I’ll never be able to afford a house… but in November, LA has the best sunsets and it makes it all worth it.

Chicago suburbs are absolutely crushing at #glutenfree food. Always my must-visits when I touch down: -Tata’s Pierogi in Elk Grove -Woodfire Pizza in West Dundee Why is this better than anything I can get in LA?!

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election. Put aside the convo of whether it’s “good” or “bad” for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they don’t control

If reporters start posting #journorequests here, it's game over for the other site.
