i barely got anything done today.

i have at least an outline of things to be done tomorrow.

In The News: Los Angeles burning.

💡 when I read articles like that, I start screaming at nobody in particular "this is why I left California: the state is governed by fuckwads who dispute the laws of reality, and blame everyone else for the suffering they cause".

The Reddit comments are also awful. "The problem is greedy insurance companies!". NO. The problem is a complete lack of a competent strategy for fire management, and a voter base that disputes the laws of mathematics.

You can't just pass a law saying that people have to offer insurance products that will lose money. ⚔️( well, actually, maybe you can ... but then where are you when the insurance companies go bankrupt?)

🔥 i mean, it was a federal holiday ...
