National Fire News: July 15. As the fire year heats up, weather is taking a dangerous turn. Critical fire weather conditions, including strong winds, low humidity, and dry lightning, are expected across large portions of NV, UT, northern AZ, and CO.

I have the MyRadar app. This is the wildfires that are going on right now. The National Interagency Fire Center reported a dramatic 170% increase in wildfire incidents in March compared to the 10-year average. The economic impact is estimated $893B. Between the fires and the floods it’s been crazy.🔄

Scientists use AI to predict a wildfire’s next move. AI technology such as drones and satellites can be used to not only “predict” wildfire but to attack and destroy it. A huge issue in California & elsewhere. #wildfire

MURKOWSKI comes out against Hegseth for DOD, first GOP opponent. "The leader of the Department of Defense must demonstrate and model the standards of behavior and character we expect of all servicemembers, and Mr. Hegseth’s nomination to the role poses significant concerns that I cannot overlook."

A couple of colleagues suggested I organize my scattered comments of this year's fires in the Northeast into a short (!) narrative. History News Network has graciously published it:

The Burned-Over District
The Northeast caught fire this fall, in a way that recalls its past. History has some lessons about how to manage the region’s fire seasons to come.

Recall what happened with the FBI when Nixon politicized it by appointing Patrick Gray director. The rank and file leaked, leaked and leaked up to the assistant director (aka Mark Felt/Deep Throat) level. They destroyed Nixon. Trump is inviting big trouble with Kash Patel.

After training to become a wildland firefighter for a fire crew in the Northeast, Richard Schenk saw his first big blaze in 1988 on the other side of the country, in Yellowstone National Park. In the decades since, fires have regularly taken him across the West, and through forests of Canada, too.
Wildfires used to just be a problem in the American West. Not anymore.
The West has for years been adapting to more extreme fires and investing in firefighting resources. In a place like Connecticut, there hasn’t been a reason to consider such steps — until now.

Democrats make a mistake by fixating just on Joe Rogan. It is about a mentality that going on a Sunday show with 50,000 viewers is more important than talking to a YouTube influencer with 3 million.

Second big upset on the card as My Denysse, a maiden coming into the race, runs down the tiring, 1-5 favorite Stunner to pull off a stunning victory in the My Dear Girl Stakes at 35-1 in the My Dear Girl S. Ruben Sierra the winning ride.

Would be great to get HISA—the U.S. Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority—on Blue Sky. Hello Lisa Lazarus?

Just learned that in Bluesky you can easily access a sophisticated blocking service that keeps out vast amounts of scams, hustles, and hateful vibes, enhancing the “nothing but blue skies” experience. Go to Account, then Moderation, then Advanced Moderation Service.

This seems like an obvious point, but not really seeing it in all the punditry heralding the death of non-right-wing cable news: Maybe the post-election ratings slump at CNN and MSNBC is just because viewers opposed to Trump are exhausted, deflated, and need a minute?

A powerful “bomb cyclone” will combine with an atmospheric river to unleash over a month’s worth of rain, hurricane-force wind gusts and feet of mountain snow to parts of the Pacific Northwest and Northern California.

I’ve seen enough to make a call: Bluesky is going to be a legit competitor to Twitter.

Sweet.
