Currently #Reading!: A Poisoned Chalice, The U.S. Navy in the Persian Gulf, 1987–1988 by Stephen Phillips. I usually don't jump books, but I grabbed this today and figured it'd be a good thing to get stuck into given everything going on around us today #booksky #nonfiction #histbookchat

Fire Weather Warning issued for Denver and most of eastern Colorado for Wednesday. Strongest winds/highest fire concern will be SE Colorado, but Denver/NE Colorado 40-50 mph gusts = rapid fire spread potential as well. Be smart on Wednesday in particular, Colorado. #COwx

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Amazon worked behind the scenes with merchants such as Levi Strauss to prod online rivals such as Home Depot, Walmart and Chewy to raise prices for consumers so it would not be undercut reut.rs/4cGk84H

We’re sharing new evidence in our case against Amazon clearly showing the megacorporation is involved in price fixing. It’s clear as day: Amazon is colluding with vendors and other retailers to make your life more unaffordable. We’ll see them in court.

The event on Thursday includes Hoag Hospital, Costa Mesa Fire & Rescue, Girls Inc. of Orange County and many other companies.

As we gear up for what may be an intense fire year, here's a thread of advice for PIOs and other crisis communicators out there, including ICs and agency administrators. Be true to yourself. The easiest way to lose credibility is to pretend to be someone else. People will know it immediately. 1/

On this date, 112 years ago, members of the Colorado National Guard and private security opened fire on striking miners and their families at Ludlow, Colorado, in the southeast of the state. 21 people were killed, mostly women and children. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludlow_...

Family Tartan of Cody Ware #NASCAR Some black and white, but mostly yellow.

Some smart young woman who shares my name says a bunch of smart things about how we use the term resilience and think about it in regards to disasters. Could not be prouder of @phibi16.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxcf...

She gone. The Pineland Road fire that grew ~2300 acres in its first burn period yesterday is off to the races behind today’s dry cold front. RH in south Georgia will drop into the 20s this evening, barely recover into the 40s tonight before tanking as low as 10-15% on Monday.

Heading to East Coast this week; first to give a seminar at the Yale Center for Geospatial Solutions on #satellite monitoring of #global #urban areas, then to Princeton to talk about better capturing spatial variability of urban #microclimate in both process-based & #machinelearning models.

It was a great morning spent with Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, TCEP90290, along with local communities and agencies for the Topanga Evacuation Drill.

Fiancee went to the Acura Grand Prix yesterday with me, her first ever time at any type of race, and she took probably 100 photos.... and only 2 of the race. Buildings, murals, ferris wheel and merry go round ✅ Racing/race cars? ❌ We found a really good spot to hang out in with a good view at T1

A really big joy for us living in this area is when parrots come to visit. There's a neighbor who has a great little cat that sits in the window during the day and the other day 3 parrots flew over and hung from the roof and on the nearby wire to say hi to it. Honestly, better than any tv show!

My experience: you have to call a phone number for assistance... except its a race track and so no one can hear you and you can't hear them. You go to ask any of the security supervisors and they tell you the police have put a masterlock on the gate blocking access to the only elevator on...

tried Photoshop's new upscaler for a map that's getting printed and... it renamed all our streets and parks

Definitely another bad accident in #longbeach to start off the morning.

Looks like Cameron Hamilton will be back heading FEMA.

We're going to the Long Beach Grand Prix for a couple of hours tomorrow just to watch the indy car practice and walk around. It's a bit of a test run to see how the fiancee does with the noise, crowds and atmosphere. She's never been to a race before, so this being free is a good opportunity....

This was a pretty large response with an unfortunately tragic ending #huntingtonbeach

I'll take "site that doesn't load" over "site that hosts Nazis" any day of the week.

Brush fire in Riverside County triggers evacuations, damages at least one home

L.A. County Supervisor Lindsey Horvath said in a statement, “This drill is an important step to help Topanga residents act quickly and safely if evacuation is needed.”

Reminding #WomenInStem of all career stages of this conference at UCLA this weekend 🧪

Spending a bit of time this afternoon going through a 300 book bibliography to see what I have vs what I need to add! #booksky

"Saipan International Airport has seen gusts over 100 mph for over 10 hours, with a peak gust so far of 130 mph. Farther south, Guam International Airport clocked a peak gust of 88 mph." "Utility lines were reported downed and 1 foot deep water was reported in Guam by the National Weather Service."

While I’m not a surgeon, just a ER doc, but the spleen and liver are…on opposite sides of the body and with very different ligamentous attachments. The liver is tethered by ligaments and has multiple segments, while the spleen is not similarly tethered and does not have multiple segments.

Dude do you know how off you have to be to take out a liver when you were looking for a spleen www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

How our morning started... with an escapee cat (for all of like 3 minutes lol). She totally got busted and know we know the new neighbors names.

Took the fiancee to #sealbeach today to just chill after work. She met 5 dogs, got to feed 2 of them treats and play with them for an hour, she also got to spend time with 9 pond turtles, and met the 3 new neighbor cats. It was a BIG day for her!

One day I hope someone buys Iggy Pop a t-shirt. Poor man.

What if July, but in April

Last time I saw them in person was their very last show at #UCLA! #TMBG has a new album out and I'm excited to hear the new tunes!
