It’s disappointing that California is weakening hazardous waste regulations to say the least. Environmental advocates say state regulators have no good reason to weaken California’s regulations, which are more stringent than federal rules. 😞 www.edhat.com/news/why-a-s...

Great Quote! It seems especially timely with all that’s going on in the World.

Interesting article, especially for those of us who grew up in a neighborhood with a ‘ghost house.’ www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/s...

This is absolutely amazing. I’d read about this before, but this article has the best description of what they’ve found I’ve encountered.

Great article!

Years ago, I took my son whale watching in the Santa Barbara Channel. Our vessel was surrounded by a pod of blue whales, most of which were larger than the boat. Amazing, awe inspiring creatures that surely deserve the added protection. www.edhat.com/news/protect...

Interesting improvements: I especially like how the reply button will now take users to the full thread instead of straight into the compose screen. The idea is it may encourage users to read the thread before responding. techcrunch.com/2025/10/31/b...

It’s nice they got EVERYONE who opposes Prop 50 together for a group photo! 😝 Seriously, I’ve only spoken to one person here in Central California who’s a no vote. It’s not over until it’s over, but I’m convinced it’s going to pass.🤞 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

This is kind of a nonsensical edict from the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Canadian and Alaskan wolves are slightly larger, but exactly the same species. It only makes sense if the goal is to stop all wolf reintroductions to Colorado. gazette.com/2025/10/23/u...

What a charming #Egyptian bronze figure of a shrew! Since shrews are animals that find their way in the dark they were connected to the descending phase of the sun’s nocturnal journey. Late Period (746-332 B.C). On display at Museum Hohentübingen. 🏺 📷 me

This is obviously the worst possible outcome. It seems a bit hasty that the state’s reassessing wolf protections at this point. www.sacbee.com/news/local/a...

We watched it last night too, excellent movie but I almost regret watching it. “The House of Dynamite” is one of the most stressful movies ever.

Interesting read! I think it’s a done deal Prop 50 will pass. I’m a little surprised that the vote no faction is as large as this article reports. I’ve only spoken to one Californian who opposes it, and they just don’t like the Governor. www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-new...

Good Morning Everyone, proceed with kindness. It's good for us. 💙

Enrichment is something zookeepers do to keep the animals from being bored. I’m told pumpkins are a nearly universal favorite among zoo animals.

#Buckwheat #Sourdough: I love this recipe, WHEN it works. The trouble is it rarely does. Normally I have trouble getting this recipe to rise. This time that wasn’t a problem, but it kind of exploded in the oven. Believe-it-or-not, I had windmill design cut into the top. Oh, well. 😋
