My friend @sherlyholmes has started a new publication devoted to Los Angeles, our home.
She's started with a bang: an in-depth look at the mayor's race.
I would also recommend checking out the daily newsletter (because LA sorely needs one).

As I set an OOO message for my first day of furlough — shamelessly cribbed from @sherlyholmes' newsletter — I'm moved to ask, if you've read and enjoyed the TV coverage at the Times these last 11 months, that you consider subscribing: https://t.co/bI3o48KgX5
This weekend we saw too many people packing beaches, trails and parks. So we are closing sports and recreation at @LACityParks and closing parking at city beaches. That doesn’t mean gather elsewhere. This is serious. Stay home and save lives.
