Jon Stewart on the GOP's conditional disaster relief: total ethical failure.

Blocking aid to fire victims is a significant ethical failure. Repubs show a total lack of compassion, justice and Humanitarian responsibility: Providing aid during emergencies is a fundamental humanitarian responsibility.

Blocking aid will result in unnecessary suffering and exacerbate the victims' plight. Everyone has a right to aid and assistance, regardless of their political or geographic situation. Imposing conditions can be seen as exploiting human suffering for political or ideological gain, which is manifestly unjust. There's a moral obligation to help those in distress. Failing to provide timely aid will lead to moral culpability for any preventable suffering or deaths that occur as a result.

We must fire the depraved republicans. Vote them out, show up in upcoming elections. Americans need you!

Same scenario as when Palisades and Eaton fires started.

Good article about trying to prevent homes from burning in wildfires. I find the idea of fire shutters particularly interesting. #LAFires #Wildfires

Sunday morning.
This map always shows NOAA’s “Fire Weather Outlooks” for the following day. At the time of my post, that would be Monday.

There are three levels based on forecasts for wind and humidity. NOAA designates those levels as Elevated, Critical and Extreme. On this map the area classified as Extreme is purple.

I'll say this for 2025, between the #LAfires destroying a bunch off those "influencer houses", you know the houses where every room has been set up like little studio and are rented out for influencers to perform in, and the destruction of #TikTok, well, it has been a banner year for #SocialMedia so far. The continuing decline of #Birdsite is also a bonus.

2025, not all bad so far. Just mainly.

"Private Firefighters Are Increasingly Popular with Insurers. But Do They Pose a Risk?"

The #LAFires "...raise questions over how the state should regulate private firefighters and how they should communicate with the public firefighting agencies leading disaster response.."

Of those, 7,193 have been designated as destroyed (damage > 50%). Note that some of the evaluated structures are outside of the fire perimeter. #LAfires

Glad Santa Barbara welcomes them, because the already economically desperate people of my town won't. SoCal is another, dysfunctional, State to NorCal peeps Hopefully the swarm of refugees stops here.

"Schools are beginning to see a small spike in enrollment coinciding with the number of families seeking temporary shelter, or permanent residence, on the South Coast.

Individuals (who don't know) can't save us.
Political parties (who depend on voters who don't know) can't save us.

My wife just saw some dude jogging in Hollywood with an n95 on, and you won't believe this, but he was breathing just fine!

No struggle or huffin' and puffin'. It's like it's totally possible to do very normal things while protecting yourself!

Insane, I know RIGHT?!

This was a fatal failure, they have to improve it;

“ The first evacuation order covering neighborhoods closest to the start of the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfire didn’t come until about 40 minutes after some of those homes were already burning, according to an Associated Press analysis of emergency communications and interviews with survivors.” https://apnews.com/article/california-wildfires-evacuation-alerts-69f10d320df14c6394fc2c646d1ff0ce

#LAFires I’ve bought a few pillows from Co-op Sleep Goods over the years and been pretty happy with them. They’re based in L.A. and are offering pillows and sheets to folks impacted by the fires. I just bought be a needed replacement leg pillow. https://coopsleepgoods.com/pages/pillow-upgrade-program?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR2jgHldvItyXmFIaVEzBoyWYkxR-i_Z5nMRJZYXm4nshZ8ql4ZOeDgMGV4_aem_ucm1j_yEEJDn1EaLLcbcjA


A huge THANK YOU to all the first responders for your tireless efforts to support Los Angeles in battling the fires.

P.S. Did you know that Canada and Mexico sent firefighters to help with the response? Your courage and solidarity inspire us all.

Don't do a moment of silence for
the LA Fires. Make it a moment of LOUD. And make it more than a moment. We change the system, we fight the problem or we ALL BURN. And that's that.
Palisades in LA on fire


As the battle against the deadly fires in Los Angeles county enters its 10th day, officials are warning evacuees against returning to their homes due to the presence of toxic, hazardous waste and exposed power and gas lines.

How long will it be before people can return and what are the longer term effects on water, and the wider environment?
