So what happened with the investigation? And what’s the current status of the Santa Ynez reservoir? It appears that it is still not fixed or online… @GavinNewsom@LADWP@latimes@nytimes
NEW: I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir.
We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.
@newscientist The humanoid piece read as super dated and out of touch… referencing that an Optimus was controlled behind the-scenes in 2021 as an argument that they’re not automated… this is a fast moving industry, and I had to double check this article was indeed written in 2025. Ummmm…
We talked to the cofounder of Watch Duty, which has become an essential app in LA for tracking the wildfires:
- It's a 501(c)(3) nonprofit largely supported by volunteers
- Has had 100% uptime (and no mistaken evac notices vs the local gov sending THREE accidentally)
- Over 1m downloads this week with plans to expand to more of the US/oversees
- “We view what we are doing as a public service.”
A reservoir in the Palisades that holds 117 million gallons of water was offline this month for previously scheduled maintenance. It was empty when the Palisades fire exploded. https://t.co/qLgNpFPwiu
@NiaRichichi I’d like to continue to reduce my animal product consumption. What’s the best substitute for cream (in cooking)? What’s a good vegan Parmesan? Thank you to anyone who is vegan; you are an inspiration!
@Tesla how can I get ahold of someone re a warranty issue? The customer “support” on the app is not helpful and the service center could not help me either. The support line leads nowhere…
Humans: ‘AGI will cure aging and we’ll all live forever.’
Apes: ‘Humans will cure banana shortages and we’ll have an ♾️ banana paradise.’
This whole ‘I know exactly what a god-mind will do, and it’s a fettered little human goal that I personally like’ thing has got to stop.
