This is why I included D20s when we are doing training exercises for our clients .
When the responsible party (P&E) was trying to talk to the unified commander and corporate speak their way out of thingsβ¦to when the P&E rep was making excuses?
Iβve seen that at every response.
Remember P&E pled guilty and paid over a billion in damages for the 2018 Camp Fire.

Pixel and I watched The Lost Bus last night.
While they added a lot for the drama- the Unified Command felt so real.
Same!

I love that when I tell the bartender at the @alaskaairlines.bsky.social lounge to make my Bloody Mary spicyβ¦they melt my face.
Fun bonus fact super spicy stuff gives me the hiccups.
The headlines do not even scratch the surface. A 17-year-old misogynist fan of Charlie Kirk and Andrew Tate stalked one of the victims for months then ran her down seeking revenge for a βchild pornβ related accusation she made to police against him. Textbook creep.

The best thing they could do right now is have Jay stop engaging. But thatβs just step one.
the point of having a comms team, just so everyone is clear, is not only to write better statements than you (which everyone arrogantly thinks they don't need) but also to give others the power to take your phone away when needed, because this is patently embarrassing at this point.

Re: the male loneliness epidemic, there is *still* not enough emphasis on how many heterosexual girls and women are staying single out of self-preservation, because the sexual norms that many heterosexual boys and men have adopted are exceptionally dangerous.
