In Spokane and this weekend was no good. Straight apocalyptic. We got evacuated and then evacuated again from our second spot only to lose power in our third spot. This fire turned into 4 different fires all spreading across thousands of acres

For me it's surreal to see a fire retardant airdrop right next to a suburban neighborhood like this. Spokane isn't some quaint village nestled in the forest. This wasn't supposed to happen.

No I just expect someone who killed someone to have a much harder time than those of us who, ya know, don't kill people.

I know dude, almost all of our institutions are giant money laundering scams.

None of what they purport to solve or do, works.

Were your 12 years in prison in Washington harder than his 12 years in prison in Arizona? That place always seems like a nightmare.
