SURE, IT WAS SUCH AN EXEMPLAR OF LAW & ORDER BEFORE THIS: LA Descends Into Chaos as Looters Exploit Wildfires.

I HAD BEEN RELIABLY ASSURED THAT THE ADULTS WERE BACK IN CHARGE: Biden officials ‘screamed’ and ‘cursed’ at Meta execs to take down vaccine posts, Mark Zuckerberg tells Joe Rogan.
SHAMED? NO. TARRED & FEATHERED, SURE: Disgraced NYC COVID Czar: ‘I Shouldn’t Have Been Shamed for My Pandemic Sex Parties’.
I STILL THINK THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY OPTIMISTIC: The new conservatives who have been mugged by a wildfire.
ROLLING BACK THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT: The climate scaremongers: Net Zero? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
THEY’LL STILL TRY TO FILTER, BUT YES: The old media logjam has broken: Even the left is now getting its news from new media.
WE DON’T HAVE TO IMAGINE THEM: Conspiracies Too Awful to Imagine?
DISINFORMATION MEANS “THINGS DEMOCRATS DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW”: Newsom Complains About ‘Disinformation’ as Wildfires Destroy Los Angeles Area.
IT’S THE RETURN OF FREE SPEECH – ELON’S JUST FACILITATING: In Elon Musk, Britain has cause for hope.
:
CERTAINLY SOCIALIST: Adolf Hitler, Communist.
AND IT’S TIME WE GOT THEM STRAIGHT: It’s all about priorities.
DUMB OR CALLOUS? LAFD Assistant Chief Says Dumbest Things Imaginable.
IT’S EVERYWHERE. THE LA FIRE IS JUST THE CANARY IN THE COALMINE: A crisis of competence.
SOMETHING IS HAPPENING HERE: Marriage ages are up — but these Gen Zers are bucking the trend with ‘startup’ unions.
THE LEFT’S SCHADENFREUDE WAS… PREMATURE: A miracle has happened. We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing.

IT’S A NEW WORLD: A (female) friend who’s partying with the girls in Key West writes: “Drag queens making Kamala jokes. Fantastic. It’s a new world.”
OPEN THREAD: Ring in the weekend.
UNDER THE BUS WITH YOU: LA Fire Chief is dismissed by Mayor Karen Bass after lashing out over department cuts as deadly blazes devastate city.
Of course, now she has no incentive to keep quiet.
UPDATE: Hmm.
#UPDATE Statement from @MayorOfLA office: “The Mayor and Chief met. The priority remains fighting these fires and protecting Angelenos.”

THE NEW SPACE RACE: SpaceX rolls Starship out to pad ahead of Flight 7 test launch (photos).
Sked to fly Monday afternoon.
THE TECH BROS ARE NOW UNITING IN FAVOR OF CHANGE. You had Zuckerberg on Rogan. Meanwhile you also have Peter Thiel in the London Financial Times, calling for deep investigations of government misconduct and a Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
The link works for me, and I’m not a subscriber, so I hope it’ll work for you. But exactly what he says is not as significant as the fact that so many tech lords are coming out together against the abuses of the outgoing regime. Keep an eye on Bill Gates, though personally I think he’s too compromised to join the movement.
HMM: High THC, High Risk: The Cannabis-Psychosis Link.

A far higher percentage of cannabis than alcohol users wind up using daily and/or meet guidelines for addictive or problematic use.
But cannabis culture celebrates "wake and bake" use; people who need a drink to get out of bed know what they are, and what they are is alcoholics. https://t.co/xYXZjdxmHU
