Someone asked me if the footage of 1,000ft lava fountains on Kīlauea was AI.

PLANET EARTH IS INFINITELY SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING THAT SOULLESS ENVIRONMENT-KILLER COULD EVER CONJURE FROM PILLAGING REAL ART.

Ahem. No, it's not AI. Volcanoes are just that incredible.

Bsky isn't on the banned list. Get ready for the influx of junior newskies!

Snoqualmie Falls is going CRAZY right now!

Water levels are currently at 17.8 feet, the highest at the falls in 10 years! #wawx

UPDATE: SR 203 is also fully closed in both directions from NE Tolt Hill Road near Carnation to SR 202 in Fall City.

Expect delays and avoid driving through standing water.

PSA: if anyone in your life is trying to dissuade you from getting the shingles shot, you should probably assume that person hates you, and wants you to suffer. There is literally no other explanation.

Shingles hurts worse than childbirth. Worse than knee surgery. Worst pain of my life.

Me this morning: 🎤🎼Hello Ibuprofen my old friend, I've come to take a max dose again... 🎼

We’re preparing for a series of weather systems through the middle of next week. While we expect to see active weather through the weekend that is likely to cause outages, most concerning is a strong weather system early next week. The combination of heavy rains weighing down vegetation along with saturated soils and breezy winds could lead to outages across much of our service area. We understand how difficult it is to be without power. Our teams are preparing to respond, and crews will remain in the field to assess damage and restore power as long as it is safe. If your power goes out, we’ll work around the clock to restore it as quickly and safely as possible. Visit PSE’s Alerts and Advisories page for information on our response efforts: pse.com/alerts.

When the local utility is trying to give folks a heads up, you know something big is coming. Be prepared Western WA folks! (Info from PSE website:

Pizza arrived. I’m ready 🤘🏽
