I’m retired but still care. My work was varied but normally involved systemology. I latterly focused on climate change risks and their mitigation strategies. Cascading trigger events, related risk analysis, funding needs and full scaled solution systems were my scope. We called it planetary engineering.
President Joe Biden ArchivedI'm surging every federal resource possible to Southern California, including hundreds of federal firefighters, 30 firefighting helicopters and planes, 8 DoD C-130s, and 500 military ground-clearing personnel.
And we’re working closely with @DeptofDefense to identify what more we can surge.

Prof. Sam LawlerI held it all together and actually did all the things I was supposed to do today (and even did one small fun extra thing!)
Except email... I guess I should probably look at that now (almost 100 emails from today?!)

First responders – like the California National Guard Soldiers of the 40th Military Police Company – are the best of us.
You left your own families, some of whom might be in harm's way, to join the front lines of the wildfire response.
We owe you for your service.

Pottery by OsaSince @FaithfullJohn mentioned #TonyOgogo, I also wanted to mention Nigeria’s most well-known potter #LadiKwali. She became internationally known after British potter #MichaelCardew came to Nigeria in the 1950s to start Abuja Pottery Centre, but she was already known in Nigeria as an accomplished & talented potter. This pot of hers was acquired by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. #nigeria #ancestors #gratitude #africanceramics #pottery #ceramics #nigerianpottery #lacma
This morning, I was briefed on the latest impacts of the Los Angeles wildfires.
And later today, following President Carter’s service, I will convene my team for another briefing, and deliver remarks to the nation regarding our response.

I bridged my account here with Bluesky. It seemed like a logical thing to do. I will tackle how to do it more formally tomorrow when I have had a chance to think about it a bit.
I’ve had some suggestions. Please let me know what you think or how to properly do it.
