Game thread bot
Game thread bot - Lemmy.world
Howdy folks! This week I’ll be looking at the setup some lemmy bots to support the community as we start getting into games and news. First thing will be auto game threads. Second would be a sidebar updater with standings and upcoming games. Are there any other regular posts that we should consider posting here as a matter of course? Weekly pinned general threads? Any thoughts?
My only comments here are:
Of course the Republicans are trying to get out of the consequences for their actions based on a technicality. Entirely on brand.
Actions…meet consequences. Consequences, actions. Nice to get you two together for once.
Senators who walked out can’t run next year
Senators who walked out can’t run next year - Lemmy.world
Republican senators who walked away from this year’s legislative session will be barred from running for reelection next year, Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade announced Tuesday. The conclusion, announced after months of speculation, might not be a surprise to voters who overwhelmingly voted last year to create consequences for legislative walkouts via Measure 113. “We believe the plain language of Measure 113 allows for members to run again in 2024 elections,” Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp, one of the 10 senators who walked, said in a statement. Under language the measure inserted into the state constitution, any lawmakers with at least 10 unexcused absences cannot hold office “For the term following the election after the member’s current term is completed.” Citing advice from the state DOJ, she’s directed her elections officials to implement an administrative rule clarifying how Measure 113 works in a manual for candidates. While a statement from the secretary acknowledges there is a dispute over wording, she says courts have found that “The text of adopted ballot measures must be interpreted in a way that is consistent with the voters’ intent.” Advice from DOJ attorneys to the secretary determined the wording being disputed by Republicans was included in the ballot measure to clarify that lawmakers who accrue more than 10 unexcused absences “May complete their current term, even though the election occurs before it is over.” (summary by SMMRY)

Bedrock Fire update for Tuesday, July 25, 2023
Lowell, Ore. – Northwest Incident Management Team 13 assumed management responsibilities for the Bedrock Fire at 6:00 a.m. Additional firefighting resources are arriving to assist with fire suppression and support activities.
The Bedrock Fire continues to burn actively in the Fall Creek drainage. Hot, dry weather combined with gusty winds have contributed to periods of rapid fire growth. Aerial mapping using infrared-sensing equipment showed the fire to be 4,488 acres as of early Tuesday morning. Fire spread has been mainly to the east and north.
There are no evacuation notices in effect at this time. If an evacuation notice becomes necessary, information will be released by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone in the immediate vicinity is asked to remain vigilant, as the Bedrock Fire continues to be an evolving incident.
For the safety of firefighting personnel, please avoid areas near the fire and stay out of all closed areas. A Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) has been issued for the Bedrock Fire area. Unmanned aerial systems (AES or drones) are not permitted within the TFR.
WEATHER: On Tuesday, temperatures will be in the 80s, with forecasted minimum relative humidity around 30 percent. Wednesday’s temperatures are expected to be similar, with slightly lower relative humidity.
SAFETY: Members of the public are encouraged to know the Ready, Set, Go levels and make appropriate preparations. READY your belongings; SET your things at the door or prepack them in your car; GO and leave immediately.
SMOKE: Smoke from the Bedrock Fire is spreading into central Oregon, causing some areas to experience “unhealthy” and possibly “hazardous” conditions. Individuals with respiratory issues may find themselves affected by the smoke. Smoke levels can change rapidly depending on weather.
7/24/23 update: Firefighters from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service and Oregon Department of Forestry continue full suppression efforts on the Bedrock Fire on the Middle Fork Ranger District. Extreme fire behavior and windy conditions contributed to growth yesterday, mostly to the west and south. Accurate infrared mapping estimates the fire at 3,190 acres and is burning on rugged terrain in timber. A Type 2 team in-briefed yesterday evening and will assume management of the fire tomorrow morning. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
The Forest Service is working closely with the Oregon Department of Forestry and private industry to fully suppress the fire. The fire is expected to be active again today with the continued hot and dry conditions forecast in the area. Resources working on the fire include 4 hand crews, 4 helicopters, 7 engines, 5 dozers, and various heavy equipment. Additional resources are in route.
While there are no evacuation notices in effect at this time, several campgrounds along Big Fall Creek Rd. are closed due to fire activity. If an evacuation notice becomes necessary, information will be released by the Lane County Sheriff’s Office. Anyone in the immediate vicinity is asked to remain vigilant, as the Bedrock Fire continues to be an evolving incident.
Please take a few moments to brush up on evacuation level information and be prepared in the event of an emergency. Visit tinyurl.com/386j3axt to learn more about evacuation levels and to sign up to receive emergency alerts.
Smoke levels are currently very unhealthy and hazardous in central Oregon. Please stay informed of smoke forecasts and plan outdoor recreation accordingly. For more information on air quality, visit airnow.gov.
A reminder to please keep drones out of the surrounding area. Drones pose a direct safety threat to firefighters on the ground and inhabit aircraft use.
Fire danger level on the Willamette National Forest is “very high”. Please follow all fire and restrictions currently in effect www.fs.usda.gov/main/willamette/fire. These apply to all lands within the Forest except the Three Sisters, Mt. Jefferson, Mt. Washington, Waldo Lake, and Diamond Peak Wilderness areas.
Really hoping this one doesn’t get majorly out of hand, but I’m not hopeful. My friend in the ODF sent it to our friend group and said to get prepared for intermittent smoke to leak into the valley because of it. We don’t have the inversion/weird winds from when Holiday Farm burned near the same area, but smoke gets into the valley and just sits on us, which sucks and might happen here since it’s so close.
