I'd like to point out that the entire rail to trail network is neither rails nor trails. Rail to Paths. That's what it is. And by God, I'm prepared to die on this hill.

...but it's over now and fully contained. Of course, they won't update the headline now.

The fast-moving Anderson Fire prompted evacuations near Covelo after growing to about 200 acres with no containment.

Wore my hat outing me as a municipal employee to Taco Tuesday last night. Predictably, I had a nutty boomer corner/tell me all about how roads suck and crime is up and wasted money, blah blah blah. HE DID NOT EXPECT ME TO PUSH THE FUCK BACK. But I did. And hopefully he learned something.

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

Don't be dumb. Don't fall for these emails making the rounds. For the ever loving sake of fark. THIS IS PHISHING. THEY WANT TO STEAL YOUR EVERYTHING.

Who is innovating in the local news (web) space? Has innovation stopped? Are we satisfied that a handful of conglomerates control our local media assets and just run geo-branded advert-laden aggregators?

Somebody should have shown them The Sea Ranch. They could have had this very design, but about 50' above sea level! ...but also... avacado farmers? uh huh. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/03/r...

Do you know where the most vulnerable flock cameras in your neighborhood are? Make a list. Keep that shit to yourselves.

All I’m saying is there’s a pattern.

I don't know that this roads worker is actually empowered to tell people they can't enter an evacuation zone. Should they not? Sure. But the road closed sign is his job, not enforcing laws. If the issue was critical, the Sheriff's Office should have had someone there. mendovoice.com/2026/08/the-...

I had a vivid dream last night that my good friend and esteemed cyclist Valtteri Bottas was in the stealth running to become James Bond. And you know what? He's perfect.

I mean... their iconography could be adjusted smaller at this zoom level. @watchduty.org - how about resizing icons so your app isn't just a doom engine? It's obviously a lot of fires, but come on.

I know it's a shit-take, but I always find myself reading these and thinking "nope, not quite Coffey Park".

Just a devastating wildfire day in Spokane yesterday. I already know far too many people who lost their homes or had to evacuate and don't know their fate yet. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Republicans are a curse on society, a cancer to democracy, and a disgrace to human existence. It will take so long to undo a lot of the damage this sick, twisted, moronic cult has done to our country and to the world.
