I find the need to produce content about the horror of wildfires that inhibits the actual fighting of fires to be one of the most nihilistic things I can imagine. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Drones force grounding of firefighting aircraft in Spokane
On Sunday, there were 26 reported drone incursions in the restricted Spokane fire area, and four drones were "directly in the path of firefighting apparatus."

VDARE?!?!? We are seriously considering VDARE authors for Senate confirmation???
SCHIFF: You told my staff you stood by your article in white nationalist website VDARE where you wrote, 'Muslim immigrants & their kids seem prone to terrorism' C: I wrote that article in support of Trump's travel ban S: Do you stand by it? C: I stand by that article S: That's all I need to know
i ventured out in the deluge yesterday to grab some footage of the flooding at chimbo alley. there was a literal wave forming back there lol:
With all the torrential downpours this summer, it's as good a time as any to talk about the still-missing stormwater management permit for Chimborazo Playground's still-paused pétanque court expansion. ☔️
Tonight we find out whether Michigan voters are bluesky posters or bluesky replyers

Creator of What to Carry, What to Burn, @blairbraverman.bsky.social, is also author of several books, including literary journalism I teach, Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube, and a smart, startling page turner of a novel, Small Game. Yes, I'm boosting a friend's new project! Because it's great.
Same. It's so very well done.
Survival stories aren't my normal interest. Nor is the style, colloquial storytelling. & yet @blairbraverman.bsky.social's What to Carry, What to Burn, has enthralled me in both regards. Survival set free from bro adventurism; storytelling as brilliant structure. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/w...
I've testified nearly 50 times on church-state matters in the Missouri legislature. Brattin is 1 of (if not the) biggest proponents of White Christian Nationalism there. Now, he'll face off against a Black UMC minister for a US congressional seat. This race offers quite the contrasting vision. 4/4
"You can’t fix that simply by jailing more arsonists, shutting down more homeless encampments or putting out more Smokey the Bear PSAs. Anybody with malice and a match can start a fire. It takes a lot more to make a blaze what it was this week in Spokane."
With the news that one of the fires in Spokane may have been caused by an arsonist, online pundits have slammed former Governor Inslee’s assertion that fires show danger of climate change.
Holy blowout
AP calls win for "no" on Missouri Amendment 4, which was effort by GOP lawmakers to stop citizen-led constitutional amendments. This anti-democratic measure was also supported by Christian Nationalist church as "biblical" vote: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/thou-shalt... Nice to see the big loss!
2/2 4) WA National Guard directs traffic. 5) Ethan Whitehall, hands a pendant he found to Chris Mutton whose house on W. Woodside Ave. burned in a wildfire, next to Shane Maggart. 6) Mutton & Maggart. 7) Structures burned. 8) Fire truck travels past a previously burned wildfire area W. Nine Mile Rd.
1/2 Photos for @apnews.com of Spokane Area Fires, 8/2/26, in Spokane, WA. It’s so heartbreaking and horrible. 1) Allen Sather and his wife Kimberley embrace at duplex they rent. 2) W. Tiffany Ave. 3) Dan Munson, left, and his wife Suzi Munson at their house which burned. apnews.com/article/wild...
"Rena" sent this from Moses Lake WA where she is weeding carrots for a non-union company. She shared: The air is bad. See my cell phone. The AQI is 166, which is unhealthy. We start at 4am. We'll work 7-8 hrs & earn minimum wage. #WeFeedYou

Well I just encountered in the wild my first 'they did the Spokane fires for the data centers' person. And they also told me their son's fiance has a jezebel spirit. So.
"Soon,winter descended like a shroud, and the sun, dimmed by fog,snow, and clouds, ceased cresting. Kroschel descended into darkness, too, spending hours in his cabin on the internet, researching the war in Ukraine,the proliferation of nanotechnology mind-control, and government conspiracy theories"
What a wild and sad story. I had heard of Kroschel's place, but not the problems. So many wildlife rescuers mean well but lack the resources or ability to do it in the best way for the animals. alaskamagazine.com/authentic-al...

"I don’t believe in God. But I do believe in Metallica. So what if I wrote to them instead?" Wake up babe, a Sottile banger just dropped.
About ten years ago, I started experimenting with the idea of writing letters as a storytelling form. This year at Pickathon, I read two letters I've written to Metallica (and never sent) that are about a lot more than just their music. Weird, I know. leahsottile.substack.com/p/74-letters...
Still running a sale for 15% off annual subscriptions! Please help me return to Springfield, Ohio, where the Trump administration is once again targeting Haitians. Haitian immigrants are receiving notice to report to the Cleveland ICE office, with as little as 24 hours notice, for ankle monitors.

Was in active fire territory earlier. One of the three fires in Spokane County is burning nearly 4k acres and swept through trails in Riverside State Park.
