Remember the children’s book Amelia Bedelia- where she was so maddeningly literal it made you want to laugh or tear your hair out? Well that is @ChatGPTapp and tonight I am tearing my hair out!

Last post here - Alt National Parks asked us all to delete X and they are literally holding things together so yup. I’m out. See you at Bluesky. @mayorchris.bsky.social And follow @altnps.bsky.social too!

I became the mayor of my beloved little town last night. Join me on Bluesky to see what it’s like to be mayor for a year. bsky.app/profile/mayorc…. Working on housing, building community, keeping folks healthy & safe & preparing for what Mother 🌏 will throw at us at 8000’.

@drpatrick @latimes Are you for real? That’s your excuse? You need a better PR firm. How many cancelled subscription have you had since this broke? It’s not going away.

So many comments about the @latimes Editorial Board not providing a Presidential endorsement this year. Let me clarify how this decision came about. The Editorial Board was provided the opportunity to draft a factual analysis of all the POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE policies by EACH candidate during their tenures at the White House, and how these policies affected the nation. In addition, the Board was asked to provide their understanding of the policies and plans enunciated by the candidates during this campaign and its potential effect on the nation in the next four years. In this way, with this clear and non-partisan information side-by-side, our readers could decide who would be worthy of being President for the next four years. Instead of adopting this path as suggested, the Editorial Board chose to remain silent and I accepted their decision. Please #vote.

@Weather_West Thank you Daniel. Yes, snowmaggedon of 2023 gave us a brief reprieve but no one in the west should be complacent about the risk of wildfire. It’s wildfire resilience week in the eastern Sierra. monocounty.ca.gov/cao/page/wildf…!

For the record: I do not agree w/recent prognostications and headlines claiming that Fire Season 2024 will likely be a quiet/below average one in Western U.S. It may start slowly/be "below avg" initially, but I strongly expect rapid shift to above-average activity by Aug-Sep.

Access to safe, clean drinking water is a human right. A full pool and a green lawn in a desert is not. npr.org/2023/04/12/116…

Right now, the state of emergency is in the Eastern Sierra due to unimaginable snow loads, but pay attention, #LosAngeles. When all this snow starts to melt no one knows what’s going to happen to the ⁦@laaqueduct⁩ #climatecrisis latimes.com/environment/st…

Hi @optimum do any actual humans work at your company? My husband just chatted with @OptimumHelp for 20 minutes and he is now convinced that it was all bots. So now what? If there is any human anywhere at @optimum please reach out. @californiapuc is there any rule that utility companies need actual humans to work there?

Hi @optimim it’s day 2 of radio silence from you. @californiapuc are there regulations about response times for utilities?

@OptimumHelp @OptimumHelp we have been doing that for 2 days to no avail @californiapuc any advice?

@ChrisBubser Please direct message us your account number, phone number associated with the account or the full street address including the zip code so we can properly assist. ^Rich twitter.com/messages/compo…

hi @optimum we haven’t had internet for 3 days. You promised a service technician between 10 am - 8 pm today and no one showed. Now you have no record of the appointment. How would you feel if that’s how an essential utility treated you? @californiapuc any advice?

@KimMangone This is heartbreaking news. To Kim’s family and dear ones: may Kim’s memory be a blessing for you. I had the privilege of meeting Kim when we both ran to flip rural CA seats in 2020. She was fierce and fearless and I’m so grateful our paths crossed.

To the followers, friends, and twitter family of Kim Mangone: It is with great sadness that we must announce that Kim has passed away late last year after an heroic battle with cancer.

@cartermurphy218 No way!

June 22nd, 2022 in the Ansel Adams Wilderness… just 9 miles the way the crow flies from my front door. I’ll literally remember this day for the rest of my life.

Happy birthday @MeredthSalenger!!!

We’re hardy folks here in the Eastern Sierra and @TownofMammoth but we are tired. We are so grateful that @CAgovernor requested and @POTUS declared a federal emergency so we can get additional resources. latimes.com/environment/st…

Our own Joyce Kaufman makes a strong plea to our friends from the south. Remember, when you visit the Eastern Sierra, that we live here and this winter in our remote little part of the world has been, dare I say, brutal. Bring patience and kindness. latimes.com/opinion/letter…

@cartermurphy218 Snow? I’d call it slop. :) this is so dang heavy - clearing off my car was the best workout I’ve had in a while.

Isothermal layer for the win!! Still all snow down to 6,500 feet.

Folks in @TownofMammoth - time to prepare for the next storm - this one is expected to be wet & messy. please call your friends & neighbors to make sure they have what they need.

Hi folks in @TownofMammoth If your roof looks like this (and no shade to anyone - this is our garage) it is time to get the snow load off. We're expecting an Atmospheric River Friday with wet heavy snow and/or rain. Resources are available here: townofmammothlakes.ca.gov/DocumentCenter…
