• Fashion Nova class action alleges early morning texts violated federal quiet-hours rules (claimdepot.com) — An Alameda resident has filed a federal class action lawsuit claiming Fashion Nova sent her marketing texts before 8 a.m., allegedly violating national “quiet hours” rules. The case, filed in Northern District of California, could cover customers nationwide who received early-morning or late-night promotional texts and seeks damages plus an order limiting when the company can text shoppers.
• Woman wandered onto ‘Star Trek IV' set after her car was towed — ended up being a part of the movie (upworthy.com) — A memorable scene in “Star Trek IV” hinges on characters asking a passerby where to find nuclear “wessels” supposedly docked in Alameda a wink to the city across the Bay. The article recounts how that passerby, Layla Sarakalo, stumbled onto the San Francisco set after her car was towed and ended up improvising the Alameda line that made the final cut.
• How we estimated Oakland city worker residency: the methodology (oaklandreport.org) — Alameda gets a brief but notable mention here as one of the few California cities that already publish concrete data on where their city workers live, alongside San Francisco and Los Angeles. The piece mainly explains a detailed statistical method used to estimate how many Oakland city employees live in Oakland, using Alameda’s transparency as a benchmark for better public reporting.
