Billy Crystal on a rerun of
Steohen Colbert.
This was recorded before the #cawildfires
He never could’ve known his house, neighborhood, city would burn down in a matter of weeks from when he did this show.

From the desk of Pastor Doug - an update on how to give for CA wildfire relief, and an invitation to attend upcoming classes.

Marketplace NPR program had a helpful segment on today, with the CA Insurance commish. Except for the part about googling for the phone number, there was some helpful info in there.

@TomWellborn and yes, #Musk is an incompetent asshole, cuz #CAwildfires are combatted by the best of the best, with #USFS's "#Helljumpers" on the ground.

I'd bet €500 that Musk won't pass basic firefighter training and be kicked out of my local fire brigade for being an antisocial asshole who cannot be trusted and noone would entrust him with their life.

• Because in the end that's what makes or breaks an entire platoon of #firefighters: Either everyone is trusting each other to have their backs and help or they are incapable of anything.

I know that Musk will loose this bet if he were to take it at all (cuz he's a #coward!) because he lacks something he can't buy or get done for him:

• Being a human being with actual empathy and a conciousness!

Seriously, Musk would not be allowed to even serve as #convict #firefighter because he's just a spoiled brat.

• Sincerely, a fmr. Firefighter.

THE NEXT TIME A NATURAL DISASTER STRIKES A #RedState, I want EVERY #DEMOCRAT to threaten to withhold aid citing the following reasons:

1) You potentiality dismissed more qualified candidates for leadership positions just b/c they were #gay, #trans or simply female.

2) You get hit by these hurricanes YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER YEAR, yet you REFUSE to acknowledge the role #GlobalWarming plays in making these storms stronger & more frequent, refusing to take ANY measures to mitigate them. #CAWildfires

Altadena resident to Joy Reid warns homeowners against selling residential property to disaster #RealEstate vultures:

Don't give up your home. There are organizations putting together money to help people rebuild. And don't sell for less than it's worth.

Those scary high winds in California… if you’ve never experienced them, they’re fcking wild. Nothing in the east will prepare you for them. They’ve moved into the SFBA today, too. It’s beyond control. They’re fire winds. #wildfires2025 #SantaAnas #CAwildfires #SFBay

Why have the #media suddenly dropped #disinfo from their vocabulary?

Strategic lies are disinfo, period.

To characterize the strategic lies Musk/Trump et al spread abt eg #CAwildfires designed to advance their agenda as "misinfo" is disingenuous in the extreme & itself constitutes disinfo.

If you can call it a lie, it's disinfo. Don't say "misinfo."

From @drivingmzstacey on :

Just realizing that we have our first highly visible climate refugees. The cameras don’t roll in Asheville, Sarasota, Tampa, and Tornado Alley like they do in Los Angeles.

Don’t care what your thoughts are on #GavinNewsom. Please don’t advocate for the opinion that he is solely responsible for #CAwildfires he is not some super villain using space lasers and weather machines. Stop spreading stupid stuff. #climatechange is real and so are the diablo winds and extra dry and over abundant brush and low rain falls…the perfect conditions for one spark, ember to wreak havoc…the butterfly effect of #climatechange

On Wednesday evening, the Sunset Fire started in the Hollywood Hills less than 2 miles from us. It spread quickly and within minutes, LAFD had issued an evacuation order that ended a block from our apartment building, with the building placed in an evacuation warning.

I have a friend who is a clinical psychologist who is offering free online trauma/support group therapy sessions for those who have lost their homes in the #CAWildfires. These will be weekly or biweekly for a couple of months, depending on the needs.

This was primarily offered to our immediate community, 7 of whom have lost their homes in the Altadena firestorm. But she has said it was OK to share around.

If this is something you feel would help your situation, DM me your email address and brief synopsis of your circumstance and I'll forward it to her to see if she can fit you into the online sessions.

She will then email a survey Sunday to find a day/time that works best.

I lived in LA 20 years ago, which is like one second in climate time. And back then, there was a fire season, lasting a few months in the year. It wasn’t in January. #climatecrisis #cawildfires

Why yes, I am driving out on Wednesday to spend a month in Petaluma, why do you ask?
