The LA Times posted a map of the counterfeit Tommy's in Los Angeles (tomorrow is 80 cent cheeseburger day)
Tommy’s, the iconic L.A. chili burger chain, will celebrate its 80th anniversary tomorrow w/ 80-cent burgers. Just make sure you go to an actual Tommy’s to pick one up — back in 2019 I wrote about the prevalence of knockoff Tommy’s, and counted 67 of them: https://t.co/daD7K2QXAB pic.twitter.com/AMmz2Dr5mA

LA Times article.
A Southern California judge "judge has banned all Kars4Kids ads, including the earworm of a jingle, from broadcasting in the state of California "
In a case that dates back to 2021, [a California resident] originally sued the charity’s affiliated organization, Oorah Inc., when he discovered that the money from the car he donated ($250) was not going to underprivileged kids in California but rather to an Orthodox Jewish program in New York and New Jersey
...
Kids in need aren’t even really the target of the organization’s financial efforts. Instead, those go to 17- and 18-year-olds seeking gap-year trips to Israel and their families. Landau testified that $16.5 million even went to purchasing a building in Israel in 2022, and $437,000 was spent on “Middle East outreach.”
Kars4Kids funnels about $45m annually to Oorah. Of the 120,000 cars donated nationwide, approximately 30,000 originated in California, per court documents
...
Any future ads in the state must disclose its religious affiliation and geographic location. They also cannot include images of prepubescent children, given that several of Oorah’s programs support young adults.
