Informative thread about California incarcerated firefighters
This is a great thread that gave a much more informed perspective on the program, and it is much better than many of us feared.

Right to repair in California gets major boost as Apple comes out in support
Apple told a California legislator that it is formally supporting a right to repair bill in California, a landmark move that suggests big tech manufacturers understand they have lost the battle to monopolize repair, and need to allow consumers and independent repair shops to fix their own electronics.
"Apple writes in support of SB 244, and urges members of the California legislature to pass the bill as currently drafted," Apple wrote to Susan Eggman, the sponsor of the bill, in a letter obtained by 404 Media. "We support SB 244 because it includes requirements that protect individual users' safety and security, as well as product manufacturers' intellectual property. We will continue to support the bill, so long as it continues to provide protections for customers and innovators."

Sen. Feinstein officially confirms this term is her last
It was coming, but glad to have this officially announced so the Dems can get their ducks in order and figure out who to put forward for her seat now rather than continue the backroom conversations to avoid unseamliness.

Newsom says he won't run in 2024
I have to admit, I'm rather surprised. I didn't expect him to challenge Biden, but for him to say he won't run regardless if Biden runs or not is surprising. I have to believe that is simply him trying to push as much political spotlight for 2024 off himself as possible, and if Biden did decide not to run again, he'd find a way back into the race.

"Gavin Newsom plants flag on climate, spurring 2024 chatter"
It will genuinely be a shock if he does anything BUT run against Biden in 2024.
