Burbank folks - The Garry Marshall Theater is a drop off location for vital supplies for the people displaced by the fires. Their IG account has a full listing of things they need... We just dropped off diapers and feminine hygiene products and other items and there is a GREAT team working there.

Seth is creating a network of NWS alert bots!
The first 40 accounts are now active, and the automated updates should be running.
There are 122 local NWS offices, and it takes a few minutes per site to create and configure the account, but I'm working through them. Holler if there's one you want prioritized.

The current AI industry is the new oil: they demand the right to extract resources, to pollute both the social space and the physical environment, and they claim there will be massive dividends for society so they should not be required to make safe or to pay.
