Maui is different than Kaui in that it has a more dramatic difference between the windward and leeward sides of the island due to the height of Haleakala. South Maui is very dry, with cactus and all, so it’s not a huge shock to me to see a wildfire there but I wouldn’t have thought that Lahaina would be in danger.

Went to Lahaina and Western Maui for our “babymoon” and it become our Happy Place. We can’t afford to go every year, but when we can afford to go someplace special, that is where we have been going.

yup, a slick app and website do not magically make a commercial landlord into a tech company magically immune to commercial landlord concerns but possessing the magical properties of a tech startup.

This is absolutely devastating for the people of Maui. The loss of homes, livelihoods, and potentially lives — not to mention the history of Lahaina and the area, and how important it is to the Hawaiian people. I can’t comprehend this at all; it’s just something so incredibly surreal and unimaginable to think this…

This is just so sad. I’ve only been to Kauai, but it’s so hard to imagine this happening in literal paradise. With how fast this happened it’s gonna be a miracle if no one died. I hope everyone is okay.

Man what a loss for Lahaina. My wife and I stayed around there for our honeymoon and loved the place, hanging around the area and getting stewed at Cheeseburgers in Paradise.

I don’t know how accurate WeCrashed on Apple TV+ is, but it gives a great representation of how delusional the founding and rise of this company was. “You think you’re changing the world, but you’re just renting people office space”

Despite agreeing with the head of the Space Command, Biden’s decision will surely anger Alabama officials.

Though she was appointed by Obama, she was approved by the senate 95-0. But as you say, this will almost certainly be forgotten by the weird sycophants employed in right wing media.

“She is an immigrant black woman appointed by Obama, therefore she will be totally biased against Trump. She needs to recuse herself.”

This makes sense because it was very expensive to print the DVD to spin in the opposite direction 

no one’s sure why yet.

I really don’t get the controversy here. The point of the strike isn’t to stop making movies to make a point, it’s to get the working terms and conditions you want.

God, these were so good. I have a lot to say about them, but the first thing I thought was that there were at least three moments in the first episode where I thought “If Edi Patterson doesn’t win an Emmy for this, there’s no justice in the world.” Then I paused the episode and there were still ten minutes left.

I need a full version of the Redeemer theme

Judy was the MVP this season. Edi Patterson proved herself on Vice Principals and she really stepped up to outshine her scene-stealing siblings. Her mocking Eli’s “I guess I still remember the old Peter. I hoped that man was somewhere inside him still” is in a loop at my house right now.

And Bible Bonkers was…

Yep, she did some revenge porn on national TV. Has anything happened to her? No? Okay then!!

Also the Land of 10,000 Sources of Moisture, it can be a heavy heat too.

Agreed. Anytime you mention it getting hot here, Arizonans materialize to say “100 isn’t hot! you haven’t experienced REAL heat until you’ve seen it be 110 for a week straight” or whatever, despite the fact that it fluctuates by literally 130 degrees over the course of a few months here.

Living in MN is something. We get air temps and heat indexes over 100F in this warming world in the summer, and air temps at -30F in the winter. I’d hate to be an engineer trying to build a highway to handle that range of temps.
