Jamie Lee Curtis is right to make the comparison and the only outrage reported is from Twitter, which has a massive right wing bias.

So bravo Jamie Lee Curtis, it IS right to compare obliterated neighbourhoods due to human action, (explicit or systemic)

Insurer faces up to $24 billion in losses from California fires

The California FAIR Plan has $24 billion of exposure in the areas being impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires — far more than the $385 million in its reserves.

LA fires could worsen California’s stressed insurance market

California’s plan to fix the insurance crisis had barely rolled out when the LA fires began. Can the market recover and stabilize?

I dont care for Kunstler's overarching worldview... Right/Assjack Libertarian, but he IS a good critic of American Dysfunctional Society.

'You know by now that #LA Mayor Bass was unavailable for the early innings of the conflagration, having flown to the West African nation of Ghana for the inauguration of the new president...(Meanwhile) Governor #Newsom dallied on a smoke-filled street with CNN’s disaster specialist,'

#lafires

The problem with the modern world is that every pic of the LA fires I see (and I am not seeking them out) looks fake. It is nearly impossible, at a glance, to tell the difference between a picture of reality and something artificially generated. Consequently, you start to doubt EVERYTHING just as the vultures want you to.

I'm skulking on Bluesky to keep track of fire news. Just saw this gift essay link from a climate scientist who recently decided to leave California.

"No place is truly safe anymore. A few months ago, Hurricane Helene pummeled the western part of my new state and the city of Asheville, which many once considered a climate haven. The Pacific Northwest seemed safe until the 2021 heat dome. Hawaii seemed safe until the deadly fires on Maui in 2023.

For those who have lost everything in climate disasters, the apocalypse has already arrived."

Don't fly your goddamn drones over fires. It grounded a plane when no one has enough of any of this equipment during a disaster. There is no conceivable scenario where anyone needs to do this.

TIL that the #WatchDuty app has human and animal shelter locations and details on the map as well as all the latest fire info. It's pretty great.

It also has locations and information for World Central Kitchen meal service and other locations providing various types of assistance.

"Trump is at his absolute worst in a crisis. .. His response to the pandemic .. His response to the death of George Floyd .. his response to a close electoral loss .. He's not a man who's ready to meet important & dangerous moments.”

It's shameful that the NYT chose not to warn Americans about the existential threat Trump poses, until now.

Congressional #Republicans enabled & empowered the #felon. They spread lies, even in crises like #LAFires.

Caruso narrowly lost the mayoral election to Karen Bass. This is how he would've responded to a disaster. He hired private firefighters to protect his Pacific Palisades shopping center, then complained about lack of water from the hydrants. Firefighters were using it to save lives & prop. Many #billionaires are self-serving. He could've helped save the elementary school, library, grocery store... He claims to be altruistic.
He, Musk, Trump... blame Dems, govt...

Its not very smart to underfund your fire department in order to overfund your police department.

But, then again, once Los Angeles has completely burnt down they won't need a police department anymore anyway.

Now We’re Seeing a Conflagration of Lies and Disinformation About California

Bad-faith actors, including Donald Trump, are blaming the outcome on “diversity” in the fire department and a nonexistent “water declaration resolution.”

Had someone tell me this crap yesterday. Moron said it was #DEI that caused the fires and response and some BS about them sending equipment to #Ukraine

Was talking w/someone yesterday about how there’s an opportunity to build differently when re-building, to use more fire resistant materials & techniques (ex: roof designs less prone to catching embers can be used).

Availability, at scale, of materials like insulated composite concrete forms (ICCFs) and foam concrete could maybe reduce individual building costs. Normally a single structure using them would bear costs alone; now some economies of scale are maybe possible.

I see the fires in LA as the burning of the old world. #Hollywood is the single most recognizable cultural thing of the 20th century, and along with everything else in the last few years, it's going down in flames.

Very sorry for the people who are losing their homes, but the amount of homelessness in LA tells me that others lost their home years earlier already, and no one batted an eye.

Problems with water supply for firefighters are the direct result of the massive demands for fire-fighting water, the destruction of pipes and pumps by the fires, and homeowners leaving hoses and sprinklers running to try to protect their property.
