Exactly right. Drone incursions are the bane of wildfire and other responders everywhere. A drone will ground all aircraft until it is mitigated and they can fly again. Don't fly a drone when responders are needed, you will be responsible for the delay in response.

> Hey @jake Tapper, Donald Trump is now publicly supporting a conspiracy theory that Joe Biden was actually killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot clone. Just a heads up in case you know of anyone who might be interested in investigating the cognitive deterioration of the commander-in-chief.

REPLACE ALL REPUBLICANS BECAUSE, BY THEIR OWN ACTIONS, EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN DESERVES TO BE REPLACED
THEY ARE NOT FULFILLING THEIR DUTY TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
THEY ARE DISHONORING AND MISREPRESENTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

A year ago today #DirtbagDon was found guilty on a dump truck's worth of felonies. Great to see there was swift and firm accountability.
This is how local governments should respond to the GOP Fascists' attempts at intimidation.
"We will not bow down..."
I mean there are fire departments wholly funded off pulltab donations ... What's to say other types of donations couldn't find a protective service...
Remember when Sheriff's and Fire Chiefs would hit the saloon and say every abled-bodied man had 2 choices...come help or a night in Jail ... Nothing that drastic, but I'm sure there there would be quite a few able-bodied folks willing to volunteer to protect the Judiciary and execute its orders if deputized and directed to do so...
One passed laws for your kids. The other passed his hat for your cash.
Even when they did cite real sources, they misrepresented (*lied about*) what those sources actually did and said.
This was important to stop at the ballot box.

Are slot C and tab D what join part A and part B?
I continue to be utterly appalled at the ignorance, uneducated opinions and disgusting bigoted comments on the information posts that are giving out details about the terrible wildfires in Saskatchewan and Manitoba. No you utter morons, “they” are not starting fires to burn out “everyone” and move immigrants in, no the magnitude of these fires is not due to “arson”, the cause is climate change. It does not matter at all HOW they start, there are hundreds of little fires started for dozens of difference reasons all the time all over the place. The difference is that in horrific drought conditions coupled with high winds, the fires cannot be quickly put out as is usually the case. The fires grow into the monster that feeds itself and changes the local weather right at the fire and become impossible to stop. This used to happen occasionally in smaller areas. Now it is half the damn country and all around the planet facing these conditions. This is CLIMATE CHANGE. Climate change is caused by burning fossil fuels, not by lizard people, the homeless, immigrants, leftists or any other scapegoat spouted about. Now if y'all had listened to us decades ago when we were telling you that developing other ways of making energy might be a damn good idea, we might be pumping a fraction of the greenhouse gases into the atmosphere right now instead of this absolutely hellscape we have.
The absolutely BEST prep you can do is not let your family, friends or neighbours get away with saying this crap and spreading this nonsense. Tell people what is happening and why. I don't know if it's possible to stop this insanity now but if there is going to be a future on this planet, we have to encourage and support the engineers, the scientists, the inventors to keep finding and improving on better and cleaner sources of power. Meanwhile the rest of us need to use less energy, any way and every way we can.
Flock Decides Not to Use Hacked Data in People Search Tool
The move comes after internal pressure and 404 Media’s reporting.https://www.404media.co/flock-decides-not-to-use-hacked-data-in-people-search-tool/
I’m starting to get the feeling that experts both within government agencies and in various private industries are routing around the extensive damage that’s been done in the Federal government.
Although departments and budgets have been decimated and destroyed, I get the feeling that experts are putting their heads back down to proceed according to science and hard-won knowledge as usual, instead of reacting to every babbling nonsense that comes out of the mouths of Trump or his nepotism hires.
Even the “TACO” comments by Wall Street traders have a ring of “ignore the idiot, focus on the reality” to it. I get the sense that people are starting to straight-up IGNORE the noise of kakistocracy, and returning to dealing with reality instead.
I wonder if we’re collectively starting to agree that the emperor has no clothes.

Stupid people make my brain hurt.
Walking Linus, behind us a group of guys. One said “It’s chilly” about 5X.
Linus stopped to smell something, they passed us & greeted me.
I said, “I’m Portugal.”—‘dad-joke’ layup
Confused, they said, “huh?”
I replied, “‘I’m Chile’? I’m Portugal, I’m Hungary…”
One said, “you’re hungry?”
The guy who’d apparently said he was chilly, said he was doing a “Get Shorty” thing.
I replied, “I was doing a nation state thing.”
They looked at me like I was crazy.
Happy Anniversary to the Orange Felon!
