For the first time in a century, the West Coast’s largest newspaper won’t take sides in a presidential contest. Adios, Fernando Valenzuela. Goodbye Columbus, hello Quetzalcoatl. After criticizing laws that limit free speech, Will is cancelled by an L.A.-area chamber of commerce. Elon Musk strikes back at the California Coastal Commission. Newsom is shocked that punishing new oil regulations have led to the closure of one of the West Coast's largest refineries. California cities are eyeballing streaming services like Netflix and Hulu as a new tax source -- by calling them a “utility.” Music by Metalachi.
