Never have I ever. As a former federal employee who took an oath to serve this country, I find politicization of a federal agency’s website utterly repulsive. Repugnant. Reprehensible. No disrespect to the career USFS employees who had nothing to do with this. But this administration is pathetic.

Proposed amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would strengthen the program, ensuring businesses can build needed charging infrastructure and providing billions in new funding for EV adoption, says CalETC Executive Director @laurarjoyce.bsky.social.
While others hit the brakes on climate, California is pedal to the metal. We're not waiting. The Low Carbon Fuel Standard is how we accelerate our progress and get to our goals faster. caletc.com/californias-...

So many layers to this movie. In the beginning, he was just showing up in people’s dreams as a passive observer. It wasn’t until his self-loathing started that he began appearing as malevolent. There’s a lesson there.

This is the book that inspired me to pursue a career in media relations so many years ago. I found it in a used bookstore in Long Beach. Fun to read it again after I’ve done all the things in Washington, DC and L.A. that I could only dream about back then.

In today’s WaPo by annamphillips.bsky.social: The CEC will add 17,000 to California’s existing 152,000 EV charging stations. (Proud to have played a part in adding 38,000 of those alongside SCE’s eMobility team.) Once again, my state is a bellwether—this time in the ZEV revolution. ⚡️🚙
California just made a big bet on the future of electric vehicles
The move is an effort to increase the number of places for drivers to plug in at a time when EV sales are growing faster than the country’s charging network.

So, Tom is telling us that, if he wanted to, he could come along and un-attach his post that I'm quoting below. Pretty cool trick to know. Thanks for the tip, @tomaashby.bsky.social.
Fun fact: If someone quotes a post of yours in a way that is unwelcome (as is commonplace on Twitter/X) there is a tool to combat the unwanted attention. Simply click the three dot menu on the quote post & click "Detach quote". This removes your post from their quote post. Useful to know, do share!

Qwest's "Every Movie" is my favorite TV ad of all time—not just because of its outstanding production, but also because, in 1999, it was incredibly prescient about streaming video. Everything about this commercial is perfect: the shooting, the editing, the acting. Even the narration by Willem Dafoe.
