Goofing around with some old #FirestormArmada Aquan spaceships. There's a guy at the local with a humongous collection that came out of hiding and I'd forgotten how much I like the game. Especially compared to the bloated lumbering mess that the third edition of #DystopianWars has become (the publisher actually agrees with me, they're working on a new edition to fix those problems).

The "Linux Early Access (Beta Channel) – 7.1.12.77211" version of Firestorm fixed most of the FPS drops and lag I had with Second Life. If you left SL because of lag, you may want to check out the same version for your operating system.

Wasn't online at all yesterday, gathering strength.
Today, I have paid-subscribed to 7 newsletters to help support independent journalism, in addition to continuing to support The Guardian, Pro Publica, Mother Jones and others who support the truth.
If you can, you might want to, as well.
Take care of yourselves, but if you're able, don't turn away. This is actually happening.

Was battling my own #Firestorm for about a week; Web server #Hack briefly took all sites offline, then razed entire RR site, followed by price gouging like ransomware, & my figuring out how to fix everything at zero cost #OG @russellrope @ https://russellrope.com/original-genius-og 🖥️🧠🧯❤️🔥
Would be interesting to see what happens if there were a grassroots campaign in California to petition the EU and PRC for disaster aide because of American congressional leadership refusing to act. It's happened before in Vulcan, WV.
Book 3 is "Firestorm" by Lucy Hounsom.

#LAfire chief commenting on #budgetcuts for her dept amidst #firestorm create simmering #feud and rumors of dismissal once #LAMayor Bass returned from her #Africa junket. Awkward situation developed over recent $17 million fire dept budget cut and chief's openly aired complaints about "elimination of our civilian positions like our mechanics" that "continue to severely impact our ability to repair"

#fires #firestorm #pasadenafires I’m feeling a wee bit weird right now. I live near the periphery of the Eaton fire, LA, Pasadena, and have 0 to fear, odds are great but I live in a large building, and just realized that I am the only one on my floor still here out of 11 units. Empty halls. The rest have gone south to avoid bad air quality or worse. Forty people still in this historic 7 floor building, but none are left on my floor. Feels creepy as hell. Tho’ I know it’s very safe.
The scale of loss due to the fires experienced this week in Southern California is incomprehensible. So many businesses and homes burned including several of my Disney Imagineering colleagues. #LAFirestorm2025 #LAfires #Disneylandfires #firestorm
what a weather year.
we need to collectively find out if #PDX can handle a #firestorm, #infrastructure -wise.
what if a #Portland #windevent creates the need to put out hundreds of #suburban #WUIfires simultaneously?
Ever eager from #LeastCoast to roast rival #broadcastTV stars, #Murdoch minions at #NYPost report gossip that image conscious pretty boy #ABCNews anchor #DavidMuir fluffed up his #firestorm look for live remotes by "using clamps to cinch his flame-retardant jacket" to look more svelte while anchoring reports outdoors from #LAfire remote site that he was flown out to from #NYC and plopped into by ratings hungry #Disney execs
The Los Angeles wildfires are climate disasters compounded

#LA #firestorm update:
1,000+ structures burnt in #PacificPalisades fire, but has not destroyed the #GettyVilla museum containing many priceless artworks and "remains safe and intact," a museum spokesperson said.
#EatonFire in #SanGabrielValley has spread across 2000 acres and taken at least two lives.
The #HurstFire just south of Newhall/Santa Clarita area has grown to 505 acres and affects communities north of the 210 to the I-5 split.
A new conflagration west of #SanFernandoValley dubbed the #WoodleyFire started at 6:15 a.m. on #NorthWoodleyAvenue just west of the 405 / north of 101 Freeway in the #Sepulveda Basin and so far has affected approx 200 acres, and threatening to cross #Burbank Ave

My contribution to #ausmusictshirtday is Firestorm from Broken Hill.
Damn #Firestorm 7.1.11, on macOS anyway, is night and day compared to 7.1.9. When I first tried 7.1.9 it performed so badly on my M2Pro Mac Mini, was glitchy as hell, seemed to not understand that particle effects was a thing that SL could do, and so much more.
I noped out.
Decided to give 7.1.11 a spin and this might be the best-performing version of a viewer I've ever run on my Mac.
Genuinely impressed at how utterly different it is.
