🔗 🌺 Hawaii has a robust emergency siren warning system. It sat silent during the deadly wildfires(🍎 News)
CNN has a very different definition for ‘robust’ than I do.
From one of my sources for balanced, considered reason.
As I try to cover the news tonight, I am struck by how completely the Republican Party, which began in the 1850s as a noble endeavor to keep the United States government intact and to rebuild it to work for ordinary people, has devolved into a group of chaos agents feeding voters a fantasy world.

🔗 Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #248
In the story of the creation, God makes the world, and everything in it, in six days. On the seventh day he rests. The day of rest is significant because it suggests that the creation required a certain effort on God’s part, that some form of artistic struggle had taken place. This struggle is the validating impulse that gives God’s world its intrinsic meaning. The world becomes more than just an object full of other objects, rather it is imbued with the vital spirit, the pneuma, of its creator.

🔗 Rebuilding will be a huge and costly undertaking, governor says - Honolulu Civil Beat (Apple News).
So much being written comparing this disaster to other disasters around the world U.S.A.
Finally, someone writing about what will make the recover absolutely unique, and very very difficult.
Also delaying recovery is the fact that Maui is a less populous island in a remote island state. Robert Fenton, FEMA’s Region 9 administrator, likened the Maui fire to wildfires such as a 2018 blaze that destroyed much of the town of Paradise, California. He said the scale of destruction reminded him of the Mississippi Gulf Coast after Hurricane Katrina. But a major difference, he said, is the ability to respond. On the mainland, he said, it’s possible to quickly “muster 3,500 dump trucks” to move rubble. “I just can’t do it here,” he said.

🔗 🎙️ 🎵 A Music Podcast Unlike Any Other - The New Yorker
The New Yorker writing about one of the best music podcasts ever by Andrew Hickey.
I’ve posted about the podcast before - it is absolutely incredible. A tour de force - but apparently that wasn’t enough for Hickey because …
The only background necessary to grasp a bit of Hickey is his bibliography: he has completed a guide to the first fifty years of “Doctor Who”; a book about “The Strange World of Gurney Slade” (a surreal comedy series that ran for six episodes on ITV in 1960); histories of the Monkees, the Kinks, and Los Angeles pop music of the nineteen-sixties; an “unauthorised guide” to a comic-book series called “Seven Soldiers of Victory”; and a three-volume catalogue of every track the Beach Boys have recorded.
PostScript - I discovered the podcast via @dave who was waxing lyrical about it a while back.
A post about Hopin - two years ago valued at $7.75B, core assets just sold at $15M (not typos)
Final paragraph reads;
That all being said, the person who did come out of this one looking like a true shrewd player is Johnny Boufarhat, Hopin’s founder. He cashed out nine figures worth of secondaries. He played the game like a pro.
… “he played the game like a pro” - and that right there is the problem … VC hubris and stupidity aside.
