"The mid-twentieth-century dream that #LosAngeles is America’s Eden, celebrated by Reyner Banham as he tooled around its freeways, has been superseded by the dark reality envisioned by Mike Davis, who foretold with uncanny accuracy what the other side of paradise would be like."

The New York Review of BooksEden on Fire | Martin FillerThe terrible fires in January were another reminder that urban planning in Los Angeles has long failed to protect the city from the natural disasters that repeatedly threaten the region.

After the #LAWildfires it's well past time Climate people retired forever the word #Alarmist. Like #ProLife for the #ForcedBirthers, Alarmist belongs to the deniers and the stallers. The world burners. Their word. Their frame. Their tool. For their sociopathic, horrific ends latimes.com/business/story/202 #Climate

Akemann ignored flying restrictions in order to survey the Palisades Fire but lost track of his drone. Here's more from Eurogamer.

The surviving members of Nirvana — Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, and Pat Smear — made a surprise appearance at last night's FireAid show, performing "Breed" with St. Vincent, "School" with Kim Gordon, "Territorial Pissings" with Joan Jett, and "All Apologies" with Violet Grohl, the 18-year-old daughter of Dave. Here's @RollingStone's story, including a video of the show.

See the second link for @AssociatedPress's story on the whole event, which was to raise money for Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods and other areas impacted by the L.A. wildfires.

There's a hoax by #rightwing U.S. billionaires to blame everything on #DEI, #LGBTQIaplus , and AFABs (including cis women).

#Billionaires were behind the campaign to oust a District Attorney ('black' cis female) and a mayor (Asian American cis female) In the East Bay.

Billionaires kept pushing the narrative that downtown San Francisco was crime -ridden and the shops were empty because of the mayor (a 'black' cis woman). Real reasons: COVID, high rent (retail), high cost of living, according to my mum's friends who live there.

'DEI hires' are to blame for the #DCplanecrash. That lie was told by Trump and his flying nazi monkeys before anyone knew or cared what the pilots looked like. The crash was caused by longstanding problems (ex: Lack of air traffic controllers) Nothing to do with the pilots.

Wealthy #farright media loonies, GOP, etc. in U.S. blame DEI, a 'black' female mayor, & 'white' women assumed to be #LGBTQ for #LAWildfires.

Even 'white' cis men are blamed for wildfires (CA Gov Newsom), or smeared during campaigns (SF candidate Aaron Peskin) if they're not the 'right (wing) kind of 'white man'

A different version of 'we lost WWI because of the Jews' narrative.

I am 31 and just went back in time to when I was 19.

When I was 19 I had just gotten done being #homeless and got a job as a cashier/barista.

I worked until I was a lead host and waiter at a fancy restaurant in #seattle where I made six figures.

Quintupled my #income in two years of trying.

Right now I just got done being homeless, and found a #job as a cashier again. This time a grocery store after the #LAWildfires took my last.

I'll try it again.

Always.
