@CatalystPet @ModernCatMag Doesn’t work with auto feed litter robots. Worst and rudest customer service ever. Called, got an answering machine. Returned call at 8 on a Saturday morning to tell me I couldn’t find recurring subscription to cancel as I hadn’t activated account. Never again!

@Markerz00 @jenvanlaar No threat to life? Without engaging, how would they know that they were absolutely unoccupied? By writing off those two homes they wrote off the entire neighborhood. No excuse.

@jenvanlaar Im not sure if you’re criticizing the decision to not engage in the structures or what, but as a 30 yr CA FF, this was the correct call. If no threat to life, 1 engine can’t legally engage. He said 2 homes were FULLY involved so they’re writing those off. If occupied, diff story

🚨 DISPATCH AUDIO: If your house was at 14940 W. Sunset, 732 Hartzell, 755 Hartzell, or 761 Hartzell in Pacific Palisades - here is LAFD dispatch telling firefighters to leave your homes burning and reroute to the "brush fire," meaning the main #PalisadesFire This isn't blaming the FF's in that engine or any other brave LAFD first responders - they were trying their darnedest and it's apparent in their voices.

E275: 275, I believe it’s Sunset Court. DISP: Engine 275 from Metro. E275: Copy 275. DISP: Engine 275, we have your address. 732 N. Hartzell St. We have Engine 248 7.6 miles away. Is that gonna suffice, or you need additional? E275: Engine 275, Negative. We’ve got at least three structures that are starting to take off [inaudible] DISP: Engine 275, from Metro. E275: Call for 275. DISP: Engine 275, has your company already committed? E275: 275, we have a hose out, but we are not interior yet. DISP: Engine 275, roger, standby. We’re gonna notify Palisades IC and see what they wanna do. Do not commit. E275: Dispatch, 275. DISP: Engine 275, go. E275: Updated address. We have two homes. One is 761 Hartford [sic], one at 755 Hartford [sic], fully involved. DISP: Engine 275, roger. We do have your two structure fires. Any life hazards in these structures? E275: Copy Engine 275. Both structures are fully involved, need additional companies [inaudible] DISP: Engine 275, roger. Standby. [Pause] Engine 275 from metro. E275: Engine 275. DISP: Engine 275, we’ve spoken with Palisades IC. We’re gonna attach you to the brush fire. We have no additional companies to give to you. No additional companies to give to your structure fires. We will attach you to the brush incident. E275: 275, copy. What are my radio channels? DISP: Engine 275, it’s gonna be Tac 2. Check in on Tac 2.

Amazing news! Persona Non Grata: Chiune Sugihara was just selected by RED MOVIE AWARDS via FilmFreeway.com and we’re off to Reims!

@historyinmemes The film "Persona Non Grata: The Story of Chiune Sugihara" tells of this diplomat's incredible journey; with a stellar Japanese and Polish cast led by Toshiaki Karasawa, Koyuki, Borys Szyc, Agnieszka Grochowska and Fumio Kohinata. Directed by Cellin Gluck.

This is Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara and his wife Yukiko. They spent 18-20 hours a day writing and signing transit visas by hand in Lithuania for thousands of Jews for 29 days from July 31 to August 28, 1940. Yukiko described their last days in Lithuania: "He was so exhausted, like a sick person. Even though he was ordered to go to Berlin, he said he couldn't make it to Berlin and suggested we go to a hotel and rest before leaving. When we got to the hotel, the Jewish people came looking for us there. So he wrote some more visas in the hotel. The next day when we got to the train station, they were there too. So he wrote more visas on the platform until the train left. Once we were on board, they were hanging on the windows, and he wrote some more. When the train started moving, he couldn't write anymore. Everyone was waving their hands. One of them called out, 'Thank you Mr. Sugihara, we will come to see you again,' and he came running after the train. I couldn't stop crying. When I think about it, even now, I can't help crying." As the train left the station, Sugihara said, "Please forgive me. I cannot write anymore. I wish you the best." It is estimated that the actions undertaken by him and his wife are responsible for the present lives of around 100,000 people. After the war, Sugihara was forced to resign and work menial jobs (selling light bulbs door to door). He languished in relative obscurity until 1968 when an Israeli diplomat managed to find him and finally got him the recognition that he deserved. Sugihara never told anyone what he had done during the war. Even his closest friends had no idea. "I may have disobeyed my government, but if I didn't, I would be disobeying God. In life, do what's right because it's right, and leave it alone."

BREAKING: Miami Herald drops bombshell, reveals that a Texas Sheriff just recommended criminal charges against those involved in Ron DeSantis tricking migrants into being flown from San Antonio to Martha’s Vineyard to be dumped for a photo op. But it gets worse for DeSantis… The Sheriff announced that “The case filed includes both FELONY and misdemeanor charges of Unlawful Restraint.” Unfortunately for DeSantis, unlawful restraint is a misdemeanor unless the victim is younger than 17 — as is the case for five of the migrants. The illegal scheme was cooked up by DeSantis and carried out using Florida tax dollars by DeSantis’ Chief of Staff James Uthmeier. Please RT and ❤️ if you think that Ron DeSantis MUST be criminally charged — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: tribel.app.link/okwPIHYCIqb

”Last night, while waiting to board our plane, our daughter Carter was being her usual inquisitive self wanting to meet and say “hi” to everyone she could, until she walked up on this man. He reached out and asked if she wanted to sit with him. He pulled out his tablet and showed her how to draw with it, they watched cartoons together, and she offered him snacks. This wasn’t a short little exchange, this was 45 minutes. Watching them in that moment, I couldn’t help but think, different genders, different races, different generations, and the best of friends. This is the world I want for her. In a country that is so deeply divided by beliefs, I want her life to be filled with moments like this... not liberal or conservative republican or democrat, socialist or capitalist, just HUMAN. Joseph from Samsungus in Oklahoma, if this should happen to find you. Thank you for showing my daughter what kindness and compassion looks like. Continue to shine your light in the world.” Credit: Kevin Armentrout

A member at tonight’s #AAC meet said this twitter acct needs more content. I wish I had been more alert to respond. I’ll do so now. This acct has been around since 2012. Over 5.5K tweets. Do the math. Averaging > a tweet a day. For whom is that not enough? ^@christashima

Sunrise, a few weeks ago, on my morning commute. Reminds me of this quote: "Focus on the good-- and the good increases." There is so much goodness all around us, if we can only focus on it, & not be discouraged by the tragedies that abound on any given day. Seek out goodness!

BREAKING: The investigation of Matt Gaetz is still in full swing as federal prosecutors continue building a case of possible criminality according to eight people with direct knowledge of the probe. Let's get this done.

HOLY SHIT! The FBI says Donald Trump mixed top secret documents with newspapers, magazines, and personal correspondence.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Not ONLY Did Trump remove TOP SECRET documents that could include nuclear secrets, but he claims he previously declassified them. So we just filed a FOIA request to see unredacted versions of the documents. 🧵

BREAKING: Rep. Jerry Nadler announces that House Democrats will soon bring an assault weapons ban to vote on the floor because civilians don't need a "tool of war" — forcing lawmakers to vote on record on the issue for the first time in decades. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THE BAN!
