There are some experimental forest management areas near the origin of the Caldor fire where trees were not lost. To blame climate change for all of California’s fire troubles is insufficient. For those of us that live/visit these areas frequently, it was clear that mitigation was being ignored.

Justice AND a show!

Seriously though, why don’t we just OD death row inmates on Fentanyl?

So part of the production process involves playing with Star Wars toys and acting out the scenes you’ve written, Dark Helmet style. I fucking knew it.
