- You really have to hand it to Putin. He conquered the US without lobbing a single bomb, just a bunch of memes. He banked on there being more useful idiots in this country than useless ones, and he was right. The most impressive hearts and minds campaign in history.

- Driving north on Cloverfield north of the 10 I could finally see the hills, not because the fire is finally under control but because there is nothing left to burn

- I work in a converted agricultural warehouse from 1930’s with an entirely wood roof. It’s beautiful, but I’m going to heed this warning and get the eff out from under it.
- Driving to work this morning felt a little like driving during a hurricane when I live on the south eastern coast of the US, only fire
- The border of the evacuation zone is 1 1/2 miles directly north of my office which is a mile north of my apartment. It hasn’t moved since yesterday. The biggest difference between today and yesterday is the smoke and ash. No wind to push them out. Helicopters have finally started as well.

- Palisades fire getting increasingly hellscape-y. The one consolation being the wind is pushing the billows out over the Pacific. This was about an hour ago.

- The Pallisades fire from my office. It’s getting close.
- Can't help but comment on the Meta news today because I'm old enough to remember when a literal genocide was organized on Facebook. This article from the systemic justice project at Harvard Law School argues how lack of moderation will allow it to happen again systemicjustice.org/article/face...

- Me? Oh nothing. Just adding depth and complexity to a can of chickpeas. And I’m not even writing a poem. Thanks for asking.

- Spent 2 hours whiteboarding the screenplay for a psychological horror with my niece and nephew ages 15 and 7 1/2, respectively. There’s a serial killer, a water park, a mysterious maniacal laugh and cryptic catch phrase. Takes place is the 80’s. We already casted about half the roles.

- There’s something meta in reading about social media in a print newspaper. Topical as well. The moderation issue is a real problem. I use a moderation labeler to flag and hide comments from AI bots, but why can’t Bluesky give us that?

- When in LA, stop by Arcana bookstore in Culver City. They sell nothing but art books, and they have an impressive selection. Here are some pick-ups I made today. That’s Wendy O. On the cover of the second pic.
