This was the event that was the last burning straw in our decision to move out of SoCal. When this is what you see when you’re forced to evacuate your home at 11:30PM and aren’t sure if you’ll have a home to come back to, it has a way of changing your priorities in life.
Mike Rothschild@rothschildmd.bsky.social · yesterdayLA County confirmed that SoCal Edison's unused transmission tower started the Eaton Fire, which destroyed much of Altadena. The tower had been dormant since the 70's, but was left up anyway. It energized in the high wind and sent molten metal into dry brush underneath. www.cnn.com/2026/08/04/u...

August 1st already? So much has happened this summer that the days and weeks are kind of a blur. Keep trying to mix some fun in with everything else. Could use some wins, but I’m incredibly grateful for all the wonderful people in my life.

Maybe we should keep rolling that video of Trump and his motorcade driving across the reflecting pool in massive vehicles. Because I’m sure that couldn’t have contributed at all.
NPR@npr.org · 5d agoThe government had accused David Hearn of ripping a piece of sealant after a $14 million renovation. Hearn has repeatedly said that he simply touched the water in the pool out of curiosity last month.

I’ve always been a night owl. But between vocal, hungry cats , an energetic kiddo, and managing the household while my partner recovers from surgery, I’m now also a lark that gets up at 6:15 AM. If I was smart, I’d stop being a night owl for the nonce. Narrator: Bill wasn’t smart.

I knocked everything off my list to do at the house today including all the laundry, cleaning the kitchen, scouring the toilets, eliminating an actual hornet nest, washing the windows, dusting and vacuuming the whole house, AND tearing out the old mailbox and putting in a new one. And now, I rest.

Gave myself a 15-minute break from housework to just cool down and relax. Maybe next time I’ll just listen to some music rather than peruse the dumpster fire(s) that inevitably burn on my Bluesky feed. Back to scrubbing toilets and washing windows. At least it’s clean when I’m done.

So exhausted by all the scam and AI generated emails and DMs. It’s a delete and ban fest around here. If you can’t even tell what I or my company do, or you’re representing a “family office with Q3 funds to deploy” and you think I’m in the esports space, don’t waste your tokens. #fuckAI
Orgoth is happy you made it through the weekend. Now let’s crush the week!
Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 6 weeks(!) in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave—is now getting all three.
"What if we took Dangerous Minds & M3gan and put it together?" Anyway the fact the robot bodies are built on sex doll tech and this is an excuse to stop paying teachers while hypersurveilling marginalized students is 800 warning signs already but they're going to do it regardless.

Today I made an unannounced visit to ICE’s facility in Scarborough, Maine. What I heard was unacceptable: no body cameras, no training, and no accountability. Johan Guerrero should be alive. Congress must act. Abolish ICE. End qualified immunity.
Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.
