I am saddened to report that I lost Whamageddon 2025 and have entered Whamhalla. I was in a high rise in downtown Vancouver. The elevator opened to the lobby and the chorus was blasting.

It's pretty bad w/24 hours of rain; the last 4-5 seeing 5-10 mm/h in parts of the Valley (especially E), not to mention the WA Cascades. I would not be surprised to see much of Sumas Prairie underwater tomorrow morning

My wife and daughter were woken up to a fire alarm and smoke in our apartment building. Daughter was traumatized standing out in rain in a blanket and PJs. Picked them up and took them to McD's for breakfast and she was much happier. Building was cleared by the fire department and all is well now.

A crossing guard was killed by the driver of a dump truck yesterday. absolutely heartbreaking. Look at our intersections, look how hostile these are for people/children - this is what we continue to build and defend at all costs. These aren't accidents, these are results.

⚒️🧪 The Wandan mud volcano in southern Taiwan erupted again yesterday (12/11/25)! The eruption occurred at 3 vents. Sadly one vent was under a house. This is its 11th eruption in the last ~3 years, most recently in June 2025. Video courtesy of my friends 陳玉意 and 張寶惠. Best with sound on.
