I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.
Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

I'm uncomfortable with the inevitable "his work was always crap" because it seems to say "you can tell who the predators are by how well they write" and ... no no you absolutely cannot, that's the whole point.

There are roughly 330M people in this country, and I realized this morning that for less than the cost of a cheap cup of coffee a day, a S. African billionaire was able to buy the Presidency, and in effect — the country. It’s both embarrassing and sad that, not only was it easy, but it was so cheap…

Wow on some level I noticed that something in her campaign changed but now it’s so clear. This was a huge mistake. The beginning of the campaign was invigorating and felt like they were finally playing the game. Her concession speech was a completely different tone and did feel a little saccharine.
I just checked and this is accurate. We actually know the name of the guy who told Kamala Harris to stop saying “we’re not going back” and calling Republicans weird.
It won’t surprise you to learn he’s a 71-year-old white guy who worked on Hillary Clinton’s campaigns.

This is so Irvine. Reminded me to dig up this truly unhinged true crime story. It truly has everything - a crazed “gone girl” like OC Housewife turned mystery writer (!!), drugs, sex, and that’s just the beginning.

I like the old line about libertarians being equivalent to house cats: convinced of their total independence while being entirely dependent on a system they do not either appreciate or comprehend

My Comparative Religions teacher told us “don’t debate to win, debate to learn” and that blew my teenage mind
I enjoyed theater as a kid, but there was a LOT of social ego involved that really wasn't my speed. Even though I was a brainiac ego kinda of kid, even I wasn't arrogant enough for the debate team. Arguing for ego is one of the most arrogant and destructive of habits IMO. I'm Canadian tho. Dif style
