New — I did a brief history of the ‘Fork in the Road’ email to show how Musk screwed up by treating federal workers like fucking idiots, and how the pressure to resign is about breaking morale more than culling the workforce.

Incredible folks at @maskblocla.bsky.social distributed more than 10,000 masks in under 48 hours, and they’re still going. Any amount helps support that work, and if you have $100 to spare, Alice will send you a terrific gift.

If you’re good at internet sleuthing and want to put your skills to work to help wildfire victims you can check for LA county rentals that have suddenly doubled in price, publicly name and shame the agents doing this, and report them to the government because it’s illegal: oag.ca.gov/contact/cons...

Good morning from Los Angeles where price gouging rentals during a disaster is illegal! Even vacant units! Call (800) 593-8222 to report price increases over 10% to LA County. Idk who you tell in the rest of CA but it’s not legal here at all. Fucking landlords.

The Los Angeles city controller is the only authoritative government source on the budget. @lacontroller.bsky.social is now weighing in on the recent discourse. Make sure to send this & tag all the people on here that were talking about the LA Fire Department budget not being cut. They were wrong.
