Oh you havent figured out what you’re actually up against yet have you.
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."

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.
..... that's the song for the wrong show
Patrick Stewart was not in the original series.

Why vote for someone who does not want to do her job?

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!
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
GOOD
New: Proton CEO Andy Yen just cancelled the company's 're-interviews'. Comes after our investigation
The re-interviews would have been about how workers were using AI, with the clear implication you might be fired

Today's Claude extension compromise is a good reminder to do this. If you're using VSCode @code, Cursor @cursor_ai, or any other IDE built on VSCode, I would immediately enable extensions.installCooldownHours.
I've set this setting to 72 (hours), which is a much safer delay to install new updates to extensions than the default setting of 0 (immediate updates).
This prevents extension updates from getting installed for 3 days, which would hopefully eliminate most of the risk from compromised updates. It's not foolproof, but it's better than no delay.
Heck, set it to something even higher to be safer, like 336 (2 weeks).

Thrive Los Angeles PAC paid a clipping firm to push out a dozen different anti Nithya Raman videos on social media.
Despite CA laws requiring disclosure on posts, very few appear to have them. And one of the only accounts to do so is based in Thailand!

We’ve been advocating for this for years, and now that Raman is running, Bass is suddenly working.
These permits should have never become more restrictive in the first place.
We need a mayor who doesn’t just work when she’s trying to win votes in the 11th hour of a campaign.
NEW: Mayor Bass announces an executive directive to help restaurants by easing permitting and outdoor dining. It's Bass' 24th exec directive since taking office, 1/3 of which were issued after Nithya Raman announced her race to be mayor.

Just wrote an article detailing 10 reasons why LAPD Chief McDonnell needs to be fired. I don’t know how you can read it and then make the case he should remain.
Why is Karen Bass continuing to defend him?

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Come on man, no need to make millennials feel old.
Anybody born after Oct. 30, 2000, has never known a day without a human presence in space.
Since the beginning of the first expedition 26 years ago on Nov 2, the International Space Station has been inhabited continuously.
