They changed the disclaimer. They didn't disclose the recording until days in.

I am in favor of jail time for this @thrive_la. This is the kind of rich people bullshit that education can't fix, you're just assholes who don't care and are used to getting away with stuff.

It's 9:37, I've been up for an hour. I'm well rested. The sun sets earlier and I have more time to spend by Malibu state creek park for stargazing

Hi. Proton employee here, I was even famously quoted in the 404 media article. I have spent a long-ass time debunking 404's misinfo about Proton online, like "Proton helps the FBI". I would be wary about believing every single thing written by 404 about Proton.

more context from an actual worker at proton imo that writer at 404media is biased against proton and has been for a while, you shouldn’t take one for-profit media outlet as source of truth

Alabama passed a law, 138 votes to nothing, that makes every phone user in the state prove their age before downloading a single app. A 45-year-old who wants a news app has to hand ID to Google first. Existing accounts get no pass either. Every one of them must be verified by October 2027. Teenagers will need a parent’s sign-off to install Wikipedia, Duolingo or a Bible app, and kids without a parent to ask get locked out completely. Apple, Google and Amazon’s lobby group has now sued to block it on First Amendment grounds. reclaimthenet.org/alabama-is…
Alabama is Sued Over App Store Age Verification Law

Alabama is Sued Over App Store Age Verification Law

The complaint argues that carding users before they reach an app is not so different from carding readers at a bookstore.

After skipping over half of LAHSA meetings Mayor Bass resigned saying she didn’t have time for it. Yet she *still* hasn’t appointed a replacement meaning that amidst the City/County power struggle the County has held a majority membership for the last 5 LAHSA meetings.

“Bass missed 13 of 21 LAHSA Commission meetings held between mid-August 2025 and now. Since Bass named herself to the board in late 2023, she’s been absent for 25 of 47 meetings.” laist.com/news/housing-homel…

Bass is the first mayor to appoint herself to the commission that oversees the region's top homelessness agency. Her attendance record could trigger…

Days before the election, Nithya Raman’s campaign manager @jeffreymillman is tweeting obsessively about… us. Flattered, Jeff. We get it. If our job were defending Nithya’s record and radical policies, we’d want to talk about literally anything else too. 🧵

To borrow a few word's from Bass' lawyer: Bass failed to comply w/ "an essential aspect of the City's ethics laws" on 42+ occasions in the last few weeks. Bass & "her campaign deprived the public of important information to which they are entitled." Ethics must "prosecute."

Last week I spoke at the Ethics Commission meeting & noted how WEIRD it was that during the closing month of the race Bass hadn't filed any 24hr comms for over two weeks & w/in a few hours Bass posted a big batch of late comms. Further trickle since, & now up to 42 late filings!

There’s always someone else to blame with Karen Bass: The weather, the county, the system. But Angelenos don’t need more excuses. They need a mayor who takes accountability and gets things done.

TNG would've been so much better if Beverly Crusher never came back. She was such a good character.

my hottest take in regards to tng is that pulaski is a way better character than people give her credit for and I do think a lot of why people hate her is misogyny

So she want 16 and 17 year olds to support and volunteer for her campaign, but she doesn't support expanding the vote. If you're okay with them representing you, you should be ok with them voting for you.

Thank you, Saptarshy! Seeing young people who aren’t old enough to vote yet volunteering their time is a powerful reminder that the future of LA is worth showing up for.   Nov. 3 is the last day to vote, not the first! You can cast your ballot now at an early vote center or return your ballot to a secure drop box.  Make your plan to vote at LAvote.gov
