In today's press briefing, @peedublya said we could think of cool-season fires like these as a light that needs four switches to turn on: fuel availability, abnormally dry fuel, an ignition source, and extreme fire weather.
Climate change, he said, makes the light brighter.
A new @WWAttribution report found that climate change made the conditions leading to the #PalisadesFire and #EatonFire 35% more likely.

Really appreciated and enjoyed the first episode of this new show, about the importance of reflecting on your work and what journalism is and who stories belong to (among other things).
I recently sat down with a tough critic of mine. A fellow journalist, @GayAlcorn, who called my most well-known story, S-Town, "morally indefensible."
We spoke for hours. She grilled me with questions. It was...illuminating. And it’s kicking off my newest podcast. 🧵

Being in space for long periods can cause congested sinuses. As a result, the @Space_Station kitchen is usually stocked with hot sauce & wasabi. FYI from one of @emfurd's favorite stories of 2023, courtesy @NYTMag. This & more with our year-end list!

Finally read @jaimealyse's "The Possibility of Life." I learned so much and also cried! All the work and research and heart that went into this came through in every word.

"Can you explain this gap on your resume?"
I felt thin, sort of stretched, like butter scraped over too much bread.
So, here’s your daily reminder: Your time on Earth is limited! Be cognizant, and don’t waste these precious sinning opportunities. Go rob a bank, or something.

"If we are cruel, how can we continue to say we are rational beings? Because we speak? Because we think? Because we are capable of creating? Even though we are capable of all these things, it is not enough to stop us from doing all the negative and cruel things."

I wrote about how, in an extremely on-brand move, we got off at the wrong bus stop and had to hike a mile along the side of the road to get to our destination. (very worth the walk!) #writing
