Confidence is rising that a major storm--including heavy precipitation--may affect SoCal later this week (Thu into Fri). There is still uncertainty, but risk of significant (i.e., more than "nuisance"-level) flash flooding/debris flows in recent wildfire zones is growing. #CAwx

in case your company uses Google Workspace and is despairing at how Gemini A.I. is getting pushed into everything—fear not! Slate's indefatigable IT chief embarked on a successful journey to get it removed from our end and wrote a detailed guide for the curious: slate.com/technology/2...
