Sunset Boulevard is in flames

[Wolseley]

Apparently large sections of Los Angeles are going up in smoke. Pacific Palisades is on fire, Santa Monica is threatened; and just to the east of the main fire are the wealthy enclaves of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.

In between the Palisades fire and the Hurst fire to the north is the San Fernando Valley, the pornography capital of the world.

Divine judgement? Or just bad luck?

Wow! I was just saying the other day that I wish that platform was destroyed.

Or God punishing Israel after all, the Hollywood industry is run by the Jews.

This famous movie scene of LA up in flames is almost prophetic/uncanny.

I'm sure they have their imagery well backed up on servers around the world and they will not miss out on any profits from the sale of that trash.

The porn industry is quite sophisticated. After all it was them and their eager customers who pushed along the whole development of the internet, and cable TV and fancy graphics cards and all that. They will have multiple redundant e-commerce sites. One could hope they did something stupid like not actually having redundancy but that's sadly unlikely.

Or the result of years of government and corporate mismanagement in California?

Unfortunately, Pandora’s box has been opened. I do not think it can be shut again. Especially with these porn entrepreneurs all over the internet with the platforms just waiting for them to hop on board.

Lord have mercy!

That, too.

I wonder if not being able to collect and store water because it would endanger the Green-Mottled Snot Puker is giving them comfort and satisfaction as their $30 million dollar mansions are turning into ashes and cinders?

The internet is forever. There are literally billion upon billion of sites archived one the way way back machine.

Now the Pentagon has ordered the Navy to step in and help:

Pentagon deploys Navy helicopters to California wildfires, but stresses high winds deterring efforts​

The U.S. Department of Defense is deploying ten Navy helicopters with water delivery buckets to help suppress wildfires raging across southern California.
At a press conference Wednesday afternoon, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said the 10 Navy helicopters come in addition to the California National Guard and the Nevada Nation Guard each readying an additional two "modular air fighting system units."
The Navy's helicopters with watery delivery buckets will "immediately assist with aerial suppression," Singh said, though adding that high winds were a deterrent.
"It's a matter of also, can those assets get in the air? And right now, I mean, Cal Fire is - has some of the best capabilities and equipment to fight fires in California," Singh said. "We can search assets, and, and the president has directed this department to bolster whatever California needs. But we have to work with California and right now, we can't even get assets up in the air because the fires are so bad and because the winds are so bad."
At President Biden's direction, the DoD "will provide additional firefighting personnel and capabilities," Singh said. "The federal government is working closely with the National Guard, which is deployed under the governor's state of emergency declaration."
