We now have two major, wind-driven SoCal fires: #PalisadesFire (burning all day in/near Pacific Palisades) and now #CloseFire (in/near Eaton Canyon near Altadena/Pasadena). Newer Close Fire is also in a very bad spot w/increasingly extreme winds. #CAwx #CAfire

Three journalists working for Lebanese TV have been killed overnight in an Israeli airstrike on their residence in the south, according to local media. It's only from journalists risking their lives that we have any picture of the Israel / Hezb war there. No comment yet from IDF

When entertainment venues require face recognition for entry, "it desensitizes people to more surveillance in their lives," Center Associate Emerald Tse talked to @MBJamerson @kcrw about LA's @IntuitDome new face recognition cameras. kcrw.com/news/shows/kcrw-fea…

This: It has been remarkable to watch how doctors in Gaza have become the "first drafts of history" so to speak, instead of journalists. I also fear this will put them at double the risk for speaking about what they are seeing.
Tyler Austin Harper (@Tyler_A_Harper) profile pictureTyler Austin Harper@Tyler_A_Harper13 Oct 2024
As people debate the story about kids being targeted by snipers it’s worth remembering that the reason we have to rely on doctors as sources of information about this kind of thing is that Western journalists aren’t allowed in Gaza and Palestinian journalists keep getting killed.

Teamsters just released internal polling on membership's feelings toward the presidential race. In a nutshell: Members backed Biden over Trump until Biden left the race. Then they backed Trump over Harris and it's stayed that way. Endorsement, or non-endorsement, expected today

Great piece about a problematic gender pay gap in animation that’s been around since a problematic chapter of animation history. Thx to KCRW for covering. Negotiations resume next week, this is on the table! #EqualPay4EqualPaint #StandWithAnimation

Latest from me on @animationguild's efforts to close a long-standing pay gap for the historically woman-dominated job of color design during this year's negotiations: kcrw.com/news/shows/kcrw-fea…
Animation’s gender pay gap is a union talking point | KCRW

As the animation union heads back to negotiations with Hollywood studios, it will take up a long-standing pay gap for a job historically dominated by women.

The UC has filed an Unfair Labor Practice charge against UAW Local 4811 for what they allege is an “illegal strike.” The University, in the charge, has asked the state’s Public Employment Relations Board to order UAW 4811 to cease and desist its strike activity.

The news is out to members: LAist will be offering buyouts to staff. It may not be enough to prevent layoffs. There will be plenty of work happening over the next few weeks with our union, but I ask that if you love LAist, consider donating: support.laist.com
A screenshot of part of an email that reads: As a member and stakeholder of LAist, I want to let you know that to help close this gap, we’re offering a voluntary buyout program for current employees. Our hope is that these buyouts will be enough to shrink the gap and avoid layoffs, but that remains unclear. In a commitment to transparency, we will continue to share updates with you as the situation evolves.
