Have a friend whos house is on the edge of one of the fires, he left to go stay with his parents. Have family not far from the Palisade fire who are keeping an eye on things. They are probably safe unless it takes just an insane run. We had a fire very similar to the Palisade fire out here a few years ago. Winds 100+ MPH caused a firestorm. When that happens, there is literally nothing to do but run. You cant fight fire in those conditions. You can just run and Pray. If the smoke is flat on the ground and moving fast, you need to be moving faster to GTFO.

Possibly the greatest NYT headline ever

As much as I want to pick the Broncos, Im not. Were gonna get our asses kicked this weekend, and Im OK with that. We wernt supposed to be in the playoffs anyways. Playing with house money at this point.

LOL Raiders

META is going to copy X and drop fact checkers in favor of a Community Note system.

Its about damn time. he was a complete disaster and should have been gone years ago. The Conservative party looks primed to sweep into power in Canada, likely with an outright majority and no need to form any sort of coalition with a minor party. Liberals are going to be decimated, and the BQ may be the opposition party. Which is hilarious.

Broncos are in the playoffs! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, looks like I was wrong here. FBI saying that as of now there is no link between the two. Just some incredible timing and coincidence apparently.

Fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel used in Tesla Cybertruck explosion outside Las Vegas Trump Hotel https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/01/us/cybertruck-fire-trump-hotel-las-vegas/index.html "Authorities believe fireworks, gas tanks and camping fuel were connected to a detonation system controlled by the driver in the Tesla Cybertruck that exploded outside a Trump Hotel in Las Vegas Wednesday morning, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation. The FBI is working to determine whether the incident was a terrorist act, Jeremy Schwartz, acting special agent in charge for the FBI’s Las Vegas office, said Wednesday. The agency believes it was an isolated incident and there is no further danger to the public, Schwartz noted." Called it. This was 100% intentional.

Seems pretty damn unlikely that they are not connected then.

That wasnt just some random explosion. If you look at it, those are clearly fireworks exploding. This was absolutely intentional. Edit: Heres an angle showing what looks to be clearly fireworks exploding. https://x.com/Osint613/status/1874545532540232058

Posting this now because its only a matter of time before this is true. And when it does, it'll prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the FBI is functionally broken and needs to be completely dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up. Getting pretty damn tired of all these attacks being followed by the FBI meme.

RIP. The man saw a lot in his life. WW2, Flight, Moon Landing, the Internet. Just all sorts of amazing stuff that we take for granted, he saw the first of it.

Trimming is pretty relaxing as well. Can just sit back and handle bud allllllll day

Working at a rec dispensary sounds pretty good right now. I did that for a while, was a fun job.

At this point Im just happy Ive made it this far without forgetting an entire week like I normally do

True. And theres a lower tax base in local govs now with people not going out to lunch or consuming products within a city's tax jurisdiction. I know downtown out here is having huge problems right now because people are abandoning the city to work remote and stay in the suburbs and surrounding areas. Short of sporting events and conventions, a lot of people just dont go downtown anymore. Work was the draw, and most places are sticking with at least a somewhat hybrid option right now. Job market is too tight to force return to work without losing a lot of people.

Its actually about reducing the number of employees without having to pay severance or unemployment when they quit rather than being fired.

Hamas relented in cease-fire talks under Trump pressure, official says https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/hamas-israel-trump-gaza-hostage-ceasefire-rcna184143?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma&taid=675c7d347ea5c90001a90b60 "Pressure from President-elect Donald Trump was a major factor in Hamas relenting on two key issues during cease-fire and hostage-release talks with Israel, a senior administration official told NBC News on Friday. New hope for an agreement had senior Biden administration officials fanning out across the Middle East this week with the goal of closing on a critical pact by the end of 2024. According to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak to the media, Hamas has now agreed to Israeli forces staying in the Gaza Strip temporarily after fighting ends and to provide a complete list of hostages, including Americans, who will be released. The Wall Street Journal was the first to report on the concessions Hamas was prepared to make." Trump isnt even president yet and it already looks like the chances of Peace in Gaza have increased. Maybe those voters who protested Harris, or even voted for Trump, were on to something. Hamas realizes they are totally fucked, and Trump is the complete opposite of Biden. Hes not going to abandon Israel, and absolutely will put our own resources to use to bring the American hostages home. Hamas realizes that and is basically to the point of taking whatever they can possibly get knowing they have thoroughly lost the war.
