Young staffers recruited by Elon Musk and his allies are issuing directives to career workers across the government — from the United States Agency for International Development to the U.S. Treasury Department. These are some of those staffers. projects.propublica.org/elon…

FYI: More than two years after this story ran, there's been a resolution in the Pappy & Harriet's lawsuit and ownership battle. According to reliable sources, Knitting Factory won in a jury trial and will take control from JB Moresco and Lisa Elin.
What's up with Pappy & Harriet's? For the LA Times, I wrote about the bitter ownership battle at the Pioneertown landmark. latimes.com/entertainment-ar…

That most people today don't understand the difference between the news and editorial an outlet publishes has a lot to do with the death of print. When people took the paper, opinion pages were physically sectioned off and often formatted differently
When you think about it, no newspaper should ever “endorse a Presidential candidate.” They are supposed to report the news, not tell you how to vote.

remember, Phil Lesh studied under Berio and was classmates with Steve Reich. he brought Ned Lagin in to perform 40 minute long Seastones in 1974, essentially free form E-mu and Buchla improvisations. a true deep music head among a band of true deep heads.

RIP Phil Lesh, a legend for so much including his hilariously honest testimony during a Jerry Garcia estate hearing in 1996.

As a former longtime writer/editor for the @latimes, I can only imagine how hard today is for the staff. Patrick Soon-Shiong rescued us from the tronc years — remember TRONC??? — but apparently he was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. hey @nikasoonshiong talk some sense into your dad.

Here’s the unreal thing about @Sonos. These ppl went right ahead and released an untested app. I wouldn’t let an orchestra play an un-proofed score; you wouldn’t release an album without listening to it first. The level of bungle here is absolutely virtuosic.
