Today’s not-the-fires Blog Roundup is on the flip. I thought about doing the fun categorization thing, but (a) there aren’t all that many posts, and (b) I’ve gone through right around 1,000 posts just for blog roundup in the last 2 days, not counting any reading I’ve done on my own account. My eyes are a little glazed over. So, it’s just a link dump.

Let me know what I missed in comments, or just use this as an open thread.

To subscribe by email, click

P.S. No new blog roundups until at least Sunday evening, maybe Monday.

Normally I go through between two and three hundred blog posts for one day of California Blog Roundups. Today there were right around 500 posts in my feed reader, and almost the entire difference was the fires in Southern California.

To that end, everything below the fold is about the fires, and there’s a lot. I will try to catch up with everything else tomorrow.
