If you're looking for a villain to blame for this smoke, it's us driving pointlessly large cars, subsidizing fossil fuel extraction, and building houses so large we need two routers to wifi in the whole place. The villain is us, not some camper who may or may not have been careless with a campfire. Even if there was a camper, it's climate change that created the conditions for this kind of burn. This was well predicted since at least the 90s so don't even pretend we didn't know.

We are the bad guys of this story. If we want to fix this, we have to take power away from the .001% and honestly, even if we put it in the hands of the 1%, we would have better outcomes.

I wish people would be more concerned about how they live their lives especially in regard as to how they treat others and be less concerned about how others live theirs, and in fact just leave them alone.

This is definitely a better way to handle the extremists, however.

Regardless of what gets announced today, thank you to the many thousands of Apple employees who are making it happen behind the scenes. Just because you don't see them, or know all their names, still remember they are people when you are firing off your hot takes.

The #Bible has been removed from libraries in Utah after a parent used a new law that permits the removal of "pornographic".

The parent argued that the Bible contained topics such as incest, bestiality, genital mutilation, and infanticide, making it pornographic under the new definition set forth in Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227.

A GOP lawmaker expressed "sadness" regarding the situation.

Tonight’s #pizza is a very simple one — realized I have garlic confit in the fridge so it’s just semi-roasted tomato, garlic confit, garlic olive oil, salt, rosemary, and cheese.

I’ll make it again for sure! #cooking #food

(Garlic confit is just garlic you slow cook in olive oil and then you save both in a sterile jar. The oil is fantastic too. Highly recommend — particularly with fresh garlic this fall.)

@christianselig Just read FlyingLaserTurtle’s outlandish attack on Apollo’s “inefficiencies.” Have you had an opportunity to publicly voice your concerns with Reddit’s accusations? If not, let’s make a video.

@christianselig I can't believe they're using commenting and voting to determine how active users are, and using that to justify the claim that Apollo is less efficient. I almost never comment or vote. I just browse. A lot! I'm sure I blow through hundreds of requests a day, and by their metrics Apollo is just being incredibly inefficient because the requests per comment/vote would be astronomical. 🙄

The first time I heard the word “launch” I had no idea what it meant. I quickly understood that launch day is like test day in school. A day where pain teaches you what you should have learned. And because of that stinging pain, what you learn at launch day has a good chance of staying with you.
