Not much. Glad to see they’re doing well.

I know you aren’t hinting at me for points….right?
*promote for ya

Very nice.

I do love answering rhetorical questions. It really is a great way of understanding a subject better.

What do you think?

I member. It wasn’t her fault, but didn’t this essentially end her singing career? I couldn’t figure out why, it’s not like anyone was shocked she lip synced. Most pop stars do, especially if they dance too.
I can’t even tell if the band is trying to play along or not. They sure don’t seem to be playing what we are hearing.

We're supposed to do that?!

*comedy too with the rumor at the end. I don't see how that would even do much. I am farty, with IBS, so I guess I will never be an astronaut.

Shocker….in under 30 minutes the felon lost his investors tens of billions in his cryptocurrency pump and dump scheme. (And he suggested investing a large portion of the treasury into cryptocurrency because it would be great if American just lost half its monetary value in a single day in an unregulated market…as long as the felon makes money).

At the same time, republicans are holding California disaster aid hostage until they get a $4 TRILLION raise in the debt ceiling for this year, which they will need to do again by summer because we all know the debt is about to skyrocket by >30% a year….because fiscal conservancy means spend as much as humanly possible all on credit.

The Trump depression begins. Maybe red-book isn’t a bad idea, Americans need to learn Mandarin so they can communicate with their new bosses and landlords (unless they’re Alaskan, they need to learn Russian).

Most insects have a ventral nerve cord which is a set of cells that allow for movement based purely on external stimuli so the brain doesn’t need to be involved at all for reactive movement. These cells also seem to do the job of proprioception, locating the body position in space, so it’s not that surprising it can stand itself up and walk…it can likely even move away from high heat. Bugs are weird. Some dinosaurs had similar systems.

I've shouldn't have tipped my Teppanyaki chef at all! He didn't do any of this tricks to my food and refues to fry me a live chick!

Continuing to burn, now in the world famous neighborhoods of Brentwood, Belaire, and they’re evacuating Encino.


Some estimates are now saying $150 billion + (including lost commerce)….and growing.
(Side note- estimates to “rake the forest clean” as fire deterrent like some have suggested are about $1 Trillion per year in California alone and would require every undocumented immigrant in America and then some to do the job, so no deportations.)

I just had a realization….there are now 5000 households from Palisades alone that are “homeless” (except those with second houses) and sounds like another 5000 around LA.
It’s a good bet these are mostly the same people who consistently voted against low income housing in LA, definitely NIMBY. They now find themselves competing for the few available rental properties.
In the short term that’s karmic. In the long term, I wonder what it means for their homeless population and wonder if we can expect an exodus since services and opportunities are about to dry up.
Good time to be in demolition/construction in LA.

On a side note, thousands of animals are now homeless, lost, hurt, or in need of supplies in LA. If you can donate directly to a local rescue, do it. Don’t donate to national charities that spend 98% on advertising and administration costs, donate directly to rescue organizations that spend donations on animals.

One of two “super scoopers” on loan from Canada is out of commission after hitting a civilian drone this morning, further hampering efforts. Fortunately the plane managed to land safely with a hole in its wing and not crash into residential LA.
It is a crime to fly a drone in an active disaster area, with a $75k fine and up to 12 months in prison.
Firefighters lost water pressure when PG&E shut off electricity to the pumps that maintain water pressure to keep the lines from sparking new fires, again hampering fire fighting efforts. They are working on getting generators attached to the pumping stations to restore pressure.
At least one new fire started in LA today, suspected of being arson.
This already looks to be the most costly natural disaster in American history, and it is still unfolding.

I hope Biden manages to deliver the aid he has promised before he leaves office. The felon will clearly try to block any aid to a blue state out of personal spite and will leave us to fend for ourselves. (If only we could do the same)

How many times have I had to do that. Gotta make the babes happy ya know.

I don’t think honking would help at freeway speeds, but hazard lights might. If you find yourself in this position, hit your hazards immediately…before you crash… it might save you from the next guy.
In this case I wondered why the people filming weren’t at least waiving a flashlight at traffic to warn them…or something. A few extra seconds to brake might have avoided most of this…as would driving a sane speed in ice which no one was doing.
