Camp Spark aims to ignite girls’ interest in firefighting West Metro firefighter Michael Worcester has fought wildland fires in several western states. He told FOX31 that recent storms have provided much-needed moisture, but abundant rainfall can also increase fire danger because it boosts the growth of brush.“As things dry out then the fire danger becomes more concerning, there’s more fuel to burn,” said Worcester.Worcester told FOX31 that the National Inter-Agency and Geographic Area Coordination Centers decide if and when out-of-state firefighters need to be sent across state lines to assist other crews.“Ultimately all the resources available for wildland firefighting are con...

Like an uncool nightclub: Top EU tweeters don’t love Elon Musk’s big Twitter rebrand

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:55:56 GMT

Twitter is dead; long live … X? It’s been less than a week since Elon Musk rebranded his microblogging platform Twitter as X. As part of the shift, Musk replaced Twitter’s iconic blue bird with a stylized black-and-white X. The change rattled many users, who worry — following algorithmic changes and cutting thousands of staffers — that Musk is on his way to transforming their favorite platform beyond recognition.But where does this leave the Twitter elite of Brussels, a city where no parliamentary discussion or Commission initiative can go by without a witty tweet and an attendant hail of sarcastic replies and barbed quotes? Well, dear reader, we checked so you didn’t have to.POLITICO reached out to some of the most active tweeters — Xers? — in the EU bubble to get their take on the big rebrand and Musk’s tweaks. Here’s what they told us: Dave Keating, @DaveKeating, journalist, 53K followers“Twitter has become an embarrassing place to be. Like if...

How the Chicago Cubs could upgrade as they prepare to bolster the roster at the trade deadline

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 20:55:56 GMT

Kyle Hendricks couldn’t help but laugh after his postgame media availability ended Sunday.As much as the Chicago Cubs have tried to ignore the inevitable questions surrounding the trade deadline the last couple of weeks, their inconsistencies and a brutal May performance had them trending toward a third consecutive season as sellers. Their turnaround, winning 10 of their last 12 games, successfully shifted the focus onto how they would improve the roster rather than what the Cubs’ most valuable assets could net in return.“I do appreciate that, the shift in tone,” Hendricks said, smiling, of the trade deadline seller-turned-buyer questions.So when they ended their series Sunday in St. Louis with a 3-0 loss to halt their season-high eight-game winning streak, the Cubs could still appreciate what they accomplished over the last two weeks and the opportunity that lies ahead over the next two months. They stepped up to deliver the wins and the movement up the stan...
