Santa Monica beach view of Malibu burning down.
Yes, it's real. Malibu mountains burning. The people on the beach can't do anything about it. Unfortunately, homes, wildlife, and natural beauty are being incinerated. Hopefully, the firefighters will be safe. And the mountain lions, also. So few of them are left.
People say the people on the beach look casual. They are over 12-15 miles from the fires. It's Friday morning. Long term Californians have seen similar. There is nothing they can do about the fire. Firefighters and wildlife are in danger. Donate: cafirefoundation.org/support-us/
Photo was Friday. Now: Saturday: Smoke in Santa Monica. Ash from sky dusting everything. Friends evacuated from Malibu. Wild, scared deer, bunnies seen running through hillside hoods near fires. U.S. President Twitter saying dumb things about the fire - zero compassion.
Finally, found the name of the photographer: Fabian Lewkowicz of SantaMonicaCloseup.com; FabianLewkowicz.com
Here is how to support the firefighters. Donate!

Dark Matter Hunters Pivot After Years of Failed Searches - WIRED

“Pivot” is an interesting choice of words. Sorta implies that one is pivoting from one thing (WIMPS) to something else. In which case the “something else” needs to be specified. apple.news/AfFMHcOI9QlK8e…
The whole dark matter search community reminds me of Daffy Duck in the episode quoted from IMDb here. [shockingly, I do not instantly find a gif of Daffy falling off said cliff.]
Reading this article does not inspire confidence. Sounds more like they’re poised to make the same mistakes all over again. Having spent decades in a fruitless search for WIMPs motivated by the WIMP miracle - an irrelevant numerical coincidence - might they decide to learn more?

Most of you probably know that Tumblr will be “officially” banning adult oriented media on their site this month. The truth is Tumblr had always had rules against porn but they only started enforcing them recently. Why? Because Tumblr’s staff are utter morons.
It’s pretty much common knowledge that Tumblr’s app got pulled from the App Store because it started being used to circulate child porn. But the thing is, this isn’t some underground porn ring fueled by criminals (at least not in the traditional sense of the concept).
People (sometimes justifiably) mock Tumblr as a social justice echo chamber, but that’s not completely accurate. It used to be that, but it has breeded a weird environment not unlike Twitter where people realized that you can find like minded people on there and not be punished.

Thread: glimpse into a French-language info operation.

Early stages of the operation. Mainly audience building, but also targeting @EmmanuelMacron.

medium.com/dfrlab/trolltr…
This is the network of coordinated inauthentic behaviour which @Facebook took down ahead of the US midterms.

12 Instagram accounts, roughly 76k followers, of which 12.4k in France.

newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/11/l…
Together with the great @camillefrancois, we reconstituted the accounts from online caches. This is a snapshot.

There were also Facebook pages involved, including this one, trolling Catholics' stance on IVF when Jesus had two fathers.

A thread of need-to-know information for those in or around fire evacuation areas.

The time to get out is NOW. Fires travel at the speed of the wind or gusts, which means you can't outrun them or drive away from them.

#Malibu #CaliforniaFires
2. A fire can hop from one ridge top to another trapping those in between. Do not think you can make the decision to evacuate when you see the fire. This is often too late. #Malibu #CaliforniaFires
3. If you are near a fire, cover as much of your skin in clothing made of natural fibers (such as wool). Nylon and other man-made fabrics can melt on your skin. Put a damp cloth on your hair. The radiant heat can kill you before any flames.

Now sitting in on a session with @oeav on excessive ski area development in Tirol.
Lots of ski areas in Tirol, more lifts planned as resorts try to outrace #globalwarming. But it’s too much, says @oeav - seele-der-alpen.at

This is a thread on why students don't come to club (kelab dan persatuan) meetings and why school clubs generally suck for both students and teachers.
Many teachers complain that students don't come to club meetings and stare passively while the teacher is explaining the activity. Many students also complain that the clubs are boring and pointless, and there's no point in coming to club meetings.
I believe this all stems from how students and teachers view the concept of clubs.
