Another SF Sgt. told me he was working near an SF BART plaza when he came across a drug OD. It took 3 hits of Narcan to revive the guy & when Fire showed, they recognized him from an earlier OD that morning as we all try not to let fentanyl have the last word in this town.

@MaerRoshan
We spent four years during COVID with a decimated staff reinventing @lamag from a trifling celebrity zine into a smart, sexy, nationally-respected magazine. This week, it’s new owners inexplicably decided to tear it all down. That’s not progress, @markgeragos. It’s vandalism.

The first proper picture of Evan Gershkovich, the WSJ reporter arrested in Russia on absurd charges, in court ahead of his appeal against his jailing today. So surreal to see Evan, who's covered so many Kafkaesque hearings as a reporter, in the cage

I hope the new owners will not veer this mag toward celebrity and luxury coverage. Meanwhile, thanks to Maer Roshan for his support of good, basic journalism about Los Angeles. You will be missed. I hope you can find a place worthy of your talents and energies.
