All. Of. Them.

Not accounting for houses as a fuel type…

Unpopular opinion but the problem with not using GoodReads is both Bookly (which I used with a paid account for 2 years) and StoryGraph is their book database is not great and they don’t have good auto add features so you have to manually add books yourself. Free labor when your app costs is ick.

LAFD asks firefighters to report availability The Los Angeles Fire Department asked its firefighters to call their communications department to report availability.

Counting, This New Year’s Morning, What Powers Yet Remain To Me by Jane Hirshfield The world asks, as it asks daily: And what can you make, can you do, to change my deep-broken, fractured? I count, this first day of another year, what remains. I have a mountain, a kitchen, two hands. Can admire with two eyes the mountain, actual, recalcitrant, shuffling its pebbles, sheltering foxes and beetles. Can make black-eyed peas and collards. Can make, from last year’s late-ripening persimmons, a pudding. Can climb a stepladder, change the bulb in a track light. For four years, I woke each day first to the mountain, then to the question. The feet of the new sufferings followed the feet of the old, and still they surprised. I brought salt, brought oil, to the question. Brought sweet tea, brought postcards and stamps. For four years, each day, something. Stone did not become apple. War did not become peace. Yet joy still stays joy. Sequins stay sequins. Words still bespangle, bewilder. Today, I woke without answer. The day answers, unpockets a thought from a friend don’t despair of this falling world, not yet didn’t it give you the asking

I count, this first day of another year, what remains.

—Jane Hirshfield

If I never hear Fowler and Herbstink again it would be too soon. Time to move on to new and fresh voices, they are the worst.

A giant bowl of chocolate mousse (looks v light and v good) against a variegated backdrop of different beiges, taupes, and browns. On the right it says Pantone Color of the Year 2025: Mocha Mousse, 17-1230

I have been thinking about the Pantone color of the year and how freaking awesome it is.

It's a very rich, warm brown. It's already trendy among fashion trendsetters, and it looks great on so many people that apparel is going to be very lush for awhile. I'm extremely excited about this because...

Earthquake Q&A thread 🧵

Q1: Why didn’t this earthquake generate a tsunami?

A1: This earthquake moved the ground sideways. Underwater quakes where the ground moves up are the ones that usually generate tsunamis. This video explains.

New Weather West post! I discuss the inbound strong, moist, and very slow-moving #AtmosphericRiver that is aimed squarely at northern CA & its potential to bring very heavy rain/flooding. Plus, what's a #BombCyclone got to do with it? #CAwx #ORwx #CAwater weatherwest.com/arch...
