HEADLINE: Florida man ‘maliciously’ started Palisades fire, then tried to cover his tracks, authorities allege by Richard Winton, Hannah Fry and Christopher Buchanan Jonathan Rinderknecht, 29, is accused of starting the initial fire on New Year’s Day that rekindled to become the Palisades fire days later. He was arrested Wednesday in Florida and charged with destruction of property by means of fire, which carries a minimum of five years in federal prison. Rinderknecht called 911 to report the fire, then offered to help firefighters battle the blaze, according to an affidavit by an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Prosecutors accused Rinderknecht of lying about where he was when he made his first 911 call. The federal prosecution affirms a long-suspected theory among fire experts and comes after a nine-month probe into the cause of the Palisades fire, which charred 23,400 acres and leveled more than 6,800 structures, including many homes. Twelve people died in the blaze. Can you avoid being tracked? Do you use a computer? Do you use a phone? Do you use a rewards card at the grocery store? If you do any of that you are being tracked, period. 29m NEW CELLPHONE PURCHASE Did you know when you power down an Apple device, did you know now it is NOT powered off? To actually turn them off is to crack the case, remove the battery and take the SIM card out. 6:35am cst SEGMENT 2 39m LITHIUM ION BATTERIES Apparently even if you pull the battery out of the phone it won’t matter. It continues to send signal, I don’t know how strong the signal could be but who knows. While I was getting my new phone the other day, I showed this image of the old phone to the young people at the counter. Did you know young people don’t know what a rotary phone is? Can you still use a rotary phone? You can still use a rotary phone on a traditional landline, but you may need a pulse-to-tone converter if your service provider only uses touch-tone dialing. Do you know how they geolocated how this guy did these wildfires? In the five minutes after he allegedly set the fire, prosecutors said Rinderknecht called 911 several times to report the fire but had no cell service. When he finally reached 911, he was back at the bottom of the trail, and a resident had already reported the blaze. 51m AIR TRAVEL What does TSA Pre even mean at this point? There are so many that have TSA Pre it is basically the same as regular check in. How do you handle air travel in your state if you secede from the Union? How do you handle security? Border checkpoints? 55m HEADLINE: 15 Years Of Instagram via ZeroHedge After Instagram was bought by Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta (formerly Facebook), for $1 billion in 2012, it continued to snowball towards world fame. By December 2014, the platform counted 300 million monthly active users. And as of September 2025, it had more than three billion. The app has evolved in various ways over the years, with various functions coming and going. Among some of the most notable technical milestones was the addition of the popular video function in June 2013, paving the way for Stories in 2016, a feature that allows users to share photos and videos that automatically disappear from their profile 24 hours after posting.
