Safe from the fires, at least for now. But I have places to go if we need to evacuate.

I’ve lived in very brushfire-prone places before. Not my first rodeo. Although this is quite a different rodeo than I’m used to.

The brushfire north of the Getty Center has been contained. Thank you to LAFD for their hard work, and to staff and visitors who evacuated safely and swiftly.

The Getty Center will resume normal operations tomorrow, and will open as usual at 10am.

It is finally, after 29 dry and brushfire-filled days, raining in NYC. The Baby Pizza Rat smiles upon our fair city once more.

His actual point in the post above is "I wouldn't want to storm the beaches at Normandy - too scary - but neocolonial brushfire wars where I can lord over natives with superior arms, those really stimulate the mind."

The closest analogy would be "brushfire extinguishing".

biggest brushfire protest outbreak maybe ever, against rampant police brutality, largely (not entirely) ended up with Dem electeds hurriedly cramming more money into the budgets of police departments that were actively refusing to work

this doesn't mean SOF style units have no utility or battlefield role, but they are a hundred times more useful in black ops and dirty little brushfire wars than in a peer or near peer conflict where, again, it all comes down to logistics

Meanwhile, isolated USA is not so threatening as the whole Status Quo Coalition, so you've made the possibility of a Big Boy Way in East Asia more likely.

And almost certainly - stability-instability paradox being what it is between nuclear power blocs - increased the number of brushfire wars. 5/

The "JD Vance SA username reveal" is something that will burn through this website like a brushfire during Santa Ana conditions.

A group of kids lighting fireworks started a brushfire that forced several Kaysville residents to evacuate their homes late Friday.

incidentally that is a common thread between the tankie ""anti-imperialist"" left and the America First right, total willful ignorance of the brushfire war in Ukraine from 2014-22, in particular how many ceasefires and treaties Putin brazenly violated
