@EarlDGray I have had excellent responses from #LATimes reporters every time I have emailed them about an article
#LAtimes 📆 Sept. 4, 2022 "Two #asteroids in the belt between #Mars and #Jupiter 🪐 have more #iron, #nickel and #cobalt than exists on #Earth. Ultimately these products could be not only #mined ⛏️ but also #processed in #space, reducing #pollution of both the #air and #water on #Earth" https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2022-09-04/commercialization-space-earth
"Both #NEAs have surfaces with 85% #metal such as iron and nickel and 15% silicate material, which is basically #rock" https://news.arizona.edu/story/mini-psyches-give-insights-mysterious-metal-rich-near-earth-asteroids

From Rosanna Xia at #LATimes, (her beat is coast and oceans), a compilation of books about climate change. Older, newer, nonfiction, and fiction.
I’d love to join a book club that’s reading and discussing some of the books from this list.

Guess the LA times decided they like money too much and put their paywall back up. I was following their Hilary feed because my daughter is there right now. I need to find an alternate source, I guess.
The #LATimes needs a #politicalcartoonist like #PaulConrad. I'm sure he could put @realDonaldTrump in his place like he did #Nixon.

The #LATimes looks back at the #StreamingBust of last year, and interviews more creatives caught in it. Trying to get a perspective on what happened. How it happened before with niche cable channels. And hope that some kind of normalcy could come back.

A quick reminder, from one of my heroes, @juddlegum of "Popular Information":
#Billionaire Rupert #Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal and #foxnews
Billionaire Jeff Bezos owns the #washingtonpost
Billionaire John Henry owns the #BostonGlobe
Billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong owns the #latimes
Billionaire Elon #Musk owns #twitter

THIS is why I'm on #mastodon & why I deleted my Twitter accounts & why I just deleted my #reddit accounts
I'm done with that shit, folks. DONE.

"President Bush briefly lost consciousness Sunday after he choked on a pretzel while watching a football game on television in his living quarters, the White House said.
"After fainting, the president tumbled to the floor from a couch, bruising his lower lip and suffering an abrasion the size of a half dollar on his left cheek, White House physician Dr. Richard Tubb said."

"Ocean temperatures are so anomalously high that Eliot Jacobson, a retired mathematics professor who created the graph using data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, had to 'increase the upper bound on the y-axis,' he said."

After winning two Pulizters, the LA Times is firing 74 people/13% of their newsroom--including every Spanish speaker.
Via Kent Nishimura on twitter: "Found this out via this article, before getting notice from HR… while ::checks notes:: oh yes, I’m on my HONEYMOON. Of the photo dept members who received notice today, ALL are people of color, and if cut, the photo dept won’t have Spanish speakers."
