🔥A small town in the state of Washington was evacuated due to a fast-moving fire that burned a half-dozen homes as crews in California made progress against the state’s deadliest and largest wildfire of the year.
In Washington, the Adams County Sheriff’s Office said on Facebook early on Thursday afternoon that residents of Lind needed to flee due to the encroaching flames.
“At this time, all residents of the town of Lind need to evacuate immediately,” the sheriff’s office said in the post.
Later Thursday, Sheriff Dale Wagner said six homes had burned, and eight other structures had. With the help of state and local resources, Wagner said the fire was starting to calm down, and by evening all evacuation orders had been lifted.

🔎Tesla started offering the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features in 2014, greatly increasing the vehicle maker’s popularity. The California DMV has accused Tesla of falsely advertising its “Autopilot” and “Full Self-Driving” features.
The DMV says that Tesla misled customers into thinking that the cars are fully autonomous and more capable than they are. The DMV says the names are misleading and that Tesla exacerbated the issue with misleading claims on its website.
The DMV says that the cars could not, and still cannot, “operate as autonomous vehicles.”
If the complaint succeeds, the DMV could revoke Tesla’s license to sell its cars in California, although it is unlikely they will go that far. While Tesla does include warnings that drivers of its cars are required to keep their hands on the wheel and are not fully autonomous, the DMV contends that does not erase the misleading claims and names of the features.

🇺🇸Many wonder how it was possible for the US president's son to download a bunch of photo evidence of him using drugs or hanging out with prostitutes onto a laptop and then just leave the machine with all this damning content at a computer store. We still have no answer to this question.
💻 However, "the laptop from hell" does at least explain why Hunter Biden has taken so many naked photos of himself: “I loved to be reassured that my 9-inch very big penis was actually big. It may sound funny to you but its (sic) body dysmorphia … I know my penis is almost twice the size of an average man’s penis,” Joe Biden's son wrote on 12 July 2018.
Ironically, one day after that note was published on the laptop, Hunter posted several images of himself having sex with some unnamed woman.

🇨🇺In Cuba, a fire at an oil storage facility has blazed for a day, baffling any attempts by firemen to extinguish it: one person has died, 17 are missing and at least 121 have been injured
According to local media reports, lightning hit the dome of a tank containing some 25,000 cubic meters of oil in the industrial zone of Matanzas on Friday night, causing a fire - that spread to the adjacent tank - and a series of explosions. About 1,300 residents of the Matanzas province have been evacuated.
Cuban president Miguel Diaz-Canel Bermudez wrote on social media on Saturday thanking the governments of Russia, Mexico, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Argentina and Chile for their offers of assistance in the wake of the fire. He also thanked the US for technical consultations.

Joe Biden is fueling the fire in Ukraine, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters said in an interview with CNN. “That’s a huge crime. Why won’t the United States of America encourage Zelensky to negotiate?"
According to Waters, what is happening in Ukraine is a reaction to the approach of NATO to the Russian borders, which happened despite promises not to do so.
"What would the United States do if the Chinese were putting nuclear-armed missiles into Mexico and Canada?” Waters asked the interviewer.
