It was nice meeting the OG @LATDoug last night at the @SPJLA banquet (as well as most of the @latimes staff that came to support him). Doug said jokingly @lataco is the only publication he doesn't mind getting scooped by because he loves to see us succeed. 📸 by Desmond Ray

Thanks for the note Daniel. Abode and Mercy were listed as owners. Mayor's office said LAFH was providing services. As servicer providers weren't mentioned in other cases, I left it out.

🌖 #LATENITETWITTER 🌖 Be the first to read our latest @LATdatadesk joint. It's a @uscensusbureau hack from @sarahparvini and @emsimani. Data, graphics, photos, shoeleather and "aspirational whiteness." This one has it all. latimes.com/projects/la-me-c…

I was talking to Doug last week about the different kinds of motorcycles (touring, sport, etc) and he said that really that are only two types of bikes: badass or not badass. And it all depends on how your ride them. And he was playing with a dog around the same time.

The new @latimes owner is moving the newsroom from its historic HQ to El Segundo. I've been lucky enough to inhabit and explore the interlocking buildings at 1st and Spring for over a decade. I'd like to share it with you. It's a beautiful day in #DTLA. Shall we take a wander?

Key: @JeffBezos changed the strategy, but left most of @washingtonpost's top management in place. Due to a series of departures before his purchase, @drpatrick will need to quickly make a series of top management hires at @latimes. xitter.cf/SandyFiresign/status/9…
