Map of wildfires going on right now

I have the MyRadar app. This is the wildfires that are going on right now. The National Interagency Fire Center reported a dramatic 170% increase in wildfire incidents in March compared to the 10-year average. The economic impact is estimated $893B. Between the fires and the floods it’s been crazy.🔄

Scientists use AI to predict a wildfire’s next move — USC News Story, video: Generative AI helps USC model accurately predict fire spread.

Scientists use AI to predict a wildfire’s next move. AI technology such as drones and satellites can be used to not only “predict” wildfire but to attack and destroy it. A huge issue in California & elsewhere. #wildfire

Musk says 'America Party' is formed in US A day after asking his followers on X whether a new U.S. political party should be created, Elon Musk said on Saturday that the "America Party is formed."

“May you live in interesting times.”

Poor angry man. I feel sorry for you. Joyceans are precious dilettantes? Never! No one is asking you to read anything. Peace. And move on. 🙏

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

The Burned-Over District The Northeast caught fire this fall, in a way that recalls its past. History has some lessons about how to manage the region’s fire seasons to come.

A couple of colleagues suggested I organize my scattered comments of this year's fires in the Northeast into a short (!) narrative. History News Network has graciously published it:

Please add me to the Joyce Studies list. 👋🏼

Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.

Will Blue Sky allow us an edit option , forgive my typos, I get passionate sometimes and forget to proofread 😁😁😁

My feeds right now on various social networks:

Facebook: Black Friday ads, photos from boomer relatives, weird promoted posts about Wicked

X: "Cry more, libtard c*nt"

Bluesky: "Twitter is toxic, stop telling me to stay on Twitter"

Instagram: bears & ballerinas

Wildfires used to just be a problem in the American West. Not anymore. The West has for years been adapting to more extreme fires and investing in firefighting resources. In a place like Connecticut, there hasn’t been a reason to consider such steps — until now.

After training to become a wildland firefighter for a fire crew in the Northeast, Richard Schenk saw his first big blaze in 1988 on the other side of the country, in Yellowstone National Park. In the decades since, fires have regularly taken him across the West, and through forests of Canada, too.

Love a longshot. 🙏

Would be great to get HISA—the U.S. Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority—on Blue Sky. Hello Lisa Lazarus?

Just learned that in Bluesky you can easily access a sophisticated blocking service that keeps out vast amounts of scams, hustles, and hateful vibes, enhancing the “nothing but blue skies” experience. Go to Account, then Moderation, then Advanced Moderation Service.

I officially have more followers on Bluesky than the other site so let me re-introduce myself:

I'm Mike Nellis, I'm a former Senior Advisor to Kamala Harris. I've spent two decades working in Democratic politics, fighting MAGA, and I'm not stopping now.

Can you RT and follow to help reach others?

100% agree.

Yes, I agree.

Agree this is a concern and bears close watching, particularly since the U.S. is such a heavily armed country! But re the Weimar context, I was struck that the political parties were fielding heavily armed militias that literally were killing each other in large numbers, fueling the final crisis.

The lesson for us, today, that I derive from Weimar is to we need to be ever watchful for the rise of powerful heavily armed militias or military-police units devoted to the dear leader or a political party. I don’t see that happening today.

Takeover by Timothy W. Ryback: 9780593537428 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books From the internationally acclaimed author of Hitler’s Private Library, a dramatic recounting of the six critical months before Adolf Hitler seized power, when the Nazi leader teetered between triumph....

Correct. We are not Weimar and Trump is not Hitler. But democracies can stumble into crisis and collapse in many different ways. Tim Ryback’s “Takeover: Hitler’s Final Rise to Power” is fascinating in this regard. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/727483...

This seems like an obvious point, but not really seeing it in all the punditry heralding the death of non-right-wing cable news: Maybe the post-election ratings slump at CNN and MSNBC is just because viewers opposed to Trump are exhausted, deflated, and need a minute?

Charismatic. Was at Belmont for his last race. Unforgettable.

I’d be very interested in seeing those numbers.

And thus truly ends wildfire season….
