I'm a former writer and editor for the @latimes, now ducking reality as an editor of board game and role playing game materials.

Congrats to @NickBaumann on the new WashPo gig! I can't say I fully grasp the difference, but the new title is way better. Here's hoping you have the resources to do great things.

[Jon Healey @jcahealey]

@joelrubin Oh, so *that's* what it is -- congrats, Joel! I hope the fun-to-frustration ratio is many times better than it was in you last gig.

Hey @carlosvlozano, welcome to retirement, buddy! I must admit, your timing is way better than mine.

Don”t miss @DavidLauter⁩’s final ⁦@latimes⁩ column, which is as clear-headed as all the others. No gimmicks or overwrought takes. He’s one of the best because he breaks down what he knows and doesn’t know with clarity, wisdom and humility. https://t.co/vdrpNc29aq

@Alex_Major1 Candidates being taken out of context is a much different issue with a totally different set of "how to guard yourself" points. Again, the example here was just an illustration of an important point about how deepfakes can insert a small lie into legit content.

Not that X users need any help on this front, but... https://t.co/NttEhDD9FH

[Jon Healey @jcahealey]

@Alex_Major1 Wait, what? Did you read past the opening example? The story wasn't about *who* is doing deepfakes, it's about how to recognize them.

One of California's latest efforts to keep voters from being duped by deepfake campaign ads gets blocked at least temporarily by a federal judge on 1A grounds: https://t.co/pG4DJFpUog

It’s no secret that Californians pay more than the rest of the country for many goods and services. What’s less well known, though, is that consumers may be paying higher prices than their *neighbors* pay. https://t.co/BGSSd7K1Ns
