This whole thread but especially this… if you are part of the national media but have no connection to LA, feel free to sit this one out. It’s your job, you may say. But no, you don’t need to have a take, or an angle, or a unique opinion on all this.

One unexpected thing in my qualitative study w natural scientists (one-hour interviews) is how deeply, deeply sad the climate scientists are. They say things like "you have enough information from us, why won't anyone act?" -- the psychological distress these people are enduring is very great.

AWS published its first public post-even summary in ~2 years a few hours ago. This was after I emailed them that I'm writing an article comparing how AWS, Azure and GCP publicly communicate region-wide outages. Only AWS has not published a public postmortem. Here: aws.amazon.com/message/0613...
