Wildfire burned at least 3.7 million acres nationwide in 14 of the 17 years from 2000 to 2016—an area larger than the entire state of Connecticut—including a record 10.2 million acres in 2015 (an area greater than Maryland and Delaware combined). Over this same time span, annual federal wildfire suppression expenditures ranged from $809 million to $2.1 billion.

If this video had come out even two years later, the dance that Kendrick rolls out throughout the visual might have spawned enough challenge/meme copies to send it all the way to the top of the charts, rather than the mere No. 39 it topped out at on the Hot 100. As it stands, the video is a clever nod to both the song’s influences – sampled artist Ronald Isley is in on the party throughout, while George Clinton makes a nonchalant cameo reading a copy of his own autobiography outside a club — and to the darker forces underlying the song’s self-love ethos. – DAN RYS

But gas companies often have the final say, at least in part because of an arcane legal system that governs mineral ownership. Critics say protection for landowners hasn’t kept pace with advances in gas drilling technology, and that it’s often far too easy for a powerful industry to game the system. The laws and interpretations were established before gas companies used rotary drills, let alone lateral well bores that can stretch for miles.

The second episode kicks off where “Brother” ended, with a nice quiet moment between the three focal characters of the show’s second season: Pike, Burnham and the off-screen Spock. In Pike’s homey new ready room, Burnham shares Spock’s map of the seven bursts, and the captain surprises her with the news that her estranged foster brother Spock has checked himself into a Starfleet psychiatric facility. The Sarek family dysfunction was on full display as Pike reveals Spock didn’t want them to be told and Burnham admitting she is the last person Spock would want to see, even if he could be the key to solving the seven bursts mystery of the season.

And for some reason I think the Borg will be involved in some way. Could be wrong, but if they are you better believe tech will be VERY important lol. And if they don’t show up first season they will probably show up in another at some point.

A debate between Saru and another officer about the PD would have been nice. Maybe Saru says “we’re not saving the colony, we’re saving our officers” as a way of skirting the directive.

That increasing CO2 causes warming is accepted even by knowledgeable skeptics. What evidence are you asking for that would convince you?

I like the developing idea that, for all his iconic value, maybe Sarek was just the galaxy’s worst father.
