Suzie Bewley wanted PG&E's CEO to know how her granddaughter died. CEO Patti Poppe blocked her. SACRAMENTO, Calif — When she took over as CEO of PG&E this year, Patti Poppe quickly promoted the “theme” she uses to brand her approach as an executive: “leading with love.” As a survivor of a wildfire blamed on PG&E power lines, Suzie Bewley isn’t feeling that love. After tweeting Poppe a family photo and details of how her granddaughter and daughter-in-law died in last year’s Zogg Fire, Bewley got a response she didn’t see coming. “She blocked me,” Bewley said. “Patti Poppe blocked me.” Poppe did not respond to email and Twitter messages asking why she blocked Bewley and how that action squares with her promise to "lead with love." Bewley says she took care not to use harsh or vulgar language when she responded to Poppe’s Sept. 1 tweet touting that PG&E had installed more weather stations since 2018 as part of the company’s plan to “make it right and make it safe” in wildfire country. 8-year-old Feyla McLeod burned to death last year in a pickup truck driven by her mother Alaina Rowe McLeod. The mother and child were trying to…

The upcoming film is the next installment in Universal’s distinguished slasher franchise, and is scheduled to be released both in theaters and streaming on Peacock.

The officer on special duty (OSD) to Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot, Lokesh Sharma, put in his papers late on Saturday night, hours after he shared tweets that seemed to be a not-so-indirect attack on the handling of the power-sharing tussle in the Punjab Congress by the grand old party’s central leadership.One of Sharma’s tweets written in Hindi when loosely translated meant “making the strong desperate and the weak proud...how to save the crops when the fence only eats away the field.” मजबूत को मजबूर, मामूली को मग़रूर किया जाए...बाड़ ही खेत को खाए, उस फसल को कौन बचाए !!— Lokesh Sharma (@_lokeshsharma) September 18, 2021 He also shared a quote of renowned humourist Kaka Hathrasi that meant “look at the fast-changing nature, see the changing particles. You remain stuck thinking of fate. Leave it, friend. Leave the ‘dufli’ (musical instrument), bring change in life. Set some standards as you rise above the tradition.” प्रकृति बदलती क्षण-क्षण देखो, बदल रहे अणु, कण-कण देखो।तुम निष्क्रिय से पड़े हुए हो, भाग्य वाद पर अड़े हुए हो।छोड़ो मित्र ! पुरानी डफली, जीवन में परिवर्तन लाओ।परंपरा से ऊंचे उठ कर, कुछ तो स्टैंडर्ड बनाओ।-काका हाथरसी— Lokesh Sharma (@_lokeshsharma) September 18, 2021 The social media…
