An ongoing fire in my county (not near me) was caused by a car fire that spread to nearby vegetation.
I knew about the cause from a CHP Incident report (shown in CHP's QuickMap app) way before it made it into any reporting. That seems odd.
It's not a big fire, but there are some evacuations underway. I hope all the evacuees will be OK.

"Britain had its moment in the sun ... peaking in 1900 let's say, and slowly but surely beginning to unravel. All the way up to the Suez Canal episode in 1956 when it was clear; it's over Britain.
...
And so it is with the US now. See we peaked about 1990 or so, and we've been unravelling slowly, and now the veil has been ripped."

stunned by the greed of the elite; They'll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn't just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions. Not because it helped them. But because they were told it would hurt someone else. And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law."

what's unique about our system is how much we allow money to dictate influence. letting people own the most powerful media. to buy attention.
the fedi is our opportunity to fix that.

The colour of the Dendrobates Azureus is close to the colour that I have captured of this wonderful softdrink

The image features two glasses filled with a blue liquid, placed on a red fabric with a floral pattern. The larger glass is positioned at an angle, showcasing its blue tint and the reflections on its surface. The smaller glass is placed below it, also filled with the blue liquid. Both glasses are resting on a black strap, which is part of a bag or case. The background fabric has large white and blue flowers on a red base, adding a vibrant contrast to the blue liquid in the glasses. The lighting highlights the blue hue of the liquid and the reflective quality of the glass surfaces.

This page about the Dendrobates Azureus is so important that I captured it explicitly so that the alt text also resonates

The image shows a screenshot of an article about the blue poison dart frog on a mobile device. The text is displayed on a black background with white and blue font. The article provides information about the frog's size, coloration, and unique features. It mentions that the blue poison dart frog is medium-sized, weighing about 8 grams and measuring 3.0 to 4.5 cm in snout-vent length. The text highlights the frog's bright blue skin, which serves as a warning to predators, and its glands containing poisonous alkaloids. The article also describes the frog's distinctive hunch-backed posture, smaller tympanum, and unique toe tips. Additionally, it mentions the tadpoles' long tails and gills instead of lungs. The bottom of the screen shows navigation icons for saving, changing language, finding text within the article, switching themes, and accessing contents.

When you look at my handles you'll see that I've made playful references to the name of this powerful amphibian.

The image features two clear glass cups filled with water, placed on a black speaker. The larger cup is positioned at an angle, while the smaller one is directly in front of it. The water in the glasses has a blue tint, likely due to the lighting. The background is a vibrant red fabric with blue and white floral patterns. The lighting creates a dramatic effect, with blue highlights on the glasses and a dark, shadowy area around the speaker. The overall composition emphasizes the contrast between the blue water and the red fabric, creating a visually striking image.
