Link to the meme?

If you choose that route, make sure it’s immense enough that you’ll never be prosecuted for it.

Well now that’s not a bad point. Fortunately the weather was calm and cool and not too dry. And in the past I would have added, “and it’s in the city, not the hills,” but Altadena has proved a wildfire doesn’t have to be a brushfire.

Not exactly thousands.

I was watching the news as it happened and there were 20 employees onsite, all safely evacuated. One firefighter was injured, not seriously. Nobody lives there, it’s all warehouses, and at night they’ll have minimum staff. So in terms of harm to ordinary people it’s pretty minimal.

Mainly loss of livelihood for the 20 workers, but honestly it’s on the boss to redistribute them to help with the shift of orders through other warehouses. At least they should get any severance and paid days off they’re owed, and set up for worker’s comp.

LAFD firefighters are professional and paid, so it’s not calling a bunch of volunteers away from their jobs either.

Paper goods evidently burn really well but they apparently didn’t produce toxic fumes, or there would have been some warnings about it.

I’m not endorsing this kind of action, but it’s not like he set a nursing home or chemical plant on fire.

Or bombed a girls’ school full of children.

A magnificent infoload, thanks!

Would you need to kick up some moondust in order to get an effect like that?

Maglev shit, we need to be investing in teleport technology. Instead, any breakthroughs are being hushed up by Big Border.

You’ll have to get them their own TV and Barcalounger

Since you’ve met Tiffany you should meet Eskarina and get a backdoor exploration into Unseen University. So try Equal Rites. Then for more wizards you can go back one to The Light Fantastic, or keep moving forward to explore the whole Discworld and read 'em all. They each have unique qualities, a motley of new and recurring characters, and insights into some of the better and nastier aspects of our own world.

I like publication order, but if you just happen upon any of them someplace, read it. And as you’ll know already, his Young Adult writing is really only a matter of having a young protagonist. So don’t sleep on The Amazing Maurice either. It’s profound.

Pratchett’s Wizard Magic and Witch Magic are quite different styles but all the Discworld books are Good at a minimum and your taste will determine which are Beyond Excellent.

Discworld UU Wizard. Mostly refraining from using magic, and eating enormous dinners.

I guess swallowing them rules them sufficiently

Wikipedia indicates it predates Christianity in the area, but without details. Like, probably something about getting rid of darkness and any evil spirits in the fields as the growing season gets going, but so co-opted by the priesthood that it becomes an Easter Tradition. I can sorta see why though, Ain’t nobody gonna pray to your Jesus if it means losing Drunk Fire Party.

Your bad for letting them know about it.

OMG so fun! I guess it’s nice and moist in Germany. Here in Southern California our big fucking fires are more spontaneous and not fun.

Oh joy! I will have a surprise HRT infoload to look forward to!

Until then have fun, work easy, be safe and sound and well!

I’m here to listen. Talk all about HRT.

With a squeeze of lemon!

That’s right, pass those microplastics along to the cancer babies! (Seriously though, DONATE BLOOD.)
