How house fires start
“Fame House valued us. It motivated us creators to create better content” says digital influencer Vishal Kalra – the winner of Fame House Season 1
When I entered the show, there were no particular expectations, because there were a lot of big creators participating along with me. But when the show actually started, I realized that there was no partiality there. What you sow, you will reap, and you will get returns in proportion to your efforts. It was heartening to see that they were not promoting creators that only had a greater following, and everything was based on merit. After the first day, I was determined to do my best and win. I had no such expectations when I entered the show. All I had decided was I will enjoy myself, collaborate with other artists… I had not given winning a thought. … [Read more...] about “Fame House valued us.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib Calls Trump The ‘Racist-In-Chief’ On House Floor
“In Michigan’s 13th we proudly speak truth to power, even in the face of a racist-in-chief,” Tlaib said on the House floor. “Those who incited an attack on the people’s house do not get to talk about healing and unity. They have torn this country apart. They have stoked the fire and then handed the gasoline to Donald Trump. Dr. King once said: ‘True peace is not the absence of tension. It is in the presence of justice.'” … [Read more...] about Rep. Rashida Tlaib Calls Trump The ‘Racist-In-Chief’ On House Floor

Cawthorn fires back after Dems in district pressure Pelosi to expel him
Cawthorn in a surprise upset beat out a candidate for North Carolina’s 11th District in the primary.

Oakland firefighters didn’t assume burning Ghost Ship was vacant
That thinking, said fire Lt. Dan Robertson, requires a strategy of “aggressive interior attack” — which some fire departments, like Oakland’s, emphasize more than others. It’s why he and about eight other firefighters swarmed into the artists collective on 31st Avenue near International Boulevard with hoses and breathing apparatuses, even as pieces of the building were coming down around them. … [Read more...] about Oakland firefighters didn’t assume burning Ghost Ship was vacant
As Oakland arts scene thrived in industrial spaces, city fell short on monitoring
The ongoing fallout of the Ghost Ship fire has put Schaaf on the spot. The mayor established herself from her first day in office as a stalwart for the arts, riding a fire-belching snail car around Lake Merritt and holding an inauguration party at the sprawling American Steel warehouse. She successfully pushed an ordinance requiring developers to set aside 1 percent of their construction budgets for public art, and spent the last year and a half amassing $1.7 million in philanthropic grants to create permanently affordable spaces for artists. … [Read more...] about As Oakland arts scene thrived in industrial spaces, city fell short on monitoring

We’re told that thousands of smaller properties also in the database are turned over to the station-house crews to inspect in between their emergency calls. … [Read more...] about Oakland in no rush to find Ghost Ship-style buildings
WandaVision episode 1 recap: Marvel on TV makes a great first impression
Mrs Hart asks lots of questions about the younger couple’s past – where they’re from, why they came here – but they’re unable to give her any specifics. Mr Hart gets particularly irate that they can’t answer, and starts choking on his food. Mrs Hart repeatedly tells him to “stop it” – she’s laughing inappropriately, almost like she’s stuck in a loop – but he collapses to the floor. Vision helps him by phasing his hand into Mr Hart’s throat, removing the blockage. … [Read more...] about WandaVision episode 1 recap: Marvel on TV makes a great first impression
