I love my neighborhood. Owls in stereo: one on each side of the house cooing in the courtship of fall. 2 young coyotes slink around. Sometimes they like to howl together, and sometimes one of them likes to go to the culvert and howl with a lot of reverb. It’s quite funny.

There was apparently a 3.5 last week, near Clayton. Pre-shock?

4.6 magnitude per USGS. It was a strong shake across the bay near Stanford but I wouldn’t call it major. Where were you?

I hadn’t noticed a 3.5 quake near Clayton last week. Pre-shock?

The main reason why global warming is such a big problem is that it's happening extremely rapidly in a geological context--much faster than most other natural warming and cooling events in Earth history. The climate is now warming so quickly, in fact, that it's becoming increasingly difficult for bo Why is global warming a "rate of change" problem? It's happening too quickly for us to easily adapt.

Why is #GlobalWarming fundamentally a "rate of change" problem? It's happening very fast relative to most natural episodes of climate warming and cooling on Earth, and too quickly for ecosystems & societies to easily adapt. Therein lies the problem. www.youtube.com/watc...

Why don’t more people know about the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot in San Francisco, which predates Stonewall by 3 years?

Curious that no-one addresses the issue that someone so addicted to orgasms would know he couldn’t survive a jail sentence and that death was preferable. Very believable that he ended himself.

David Benaron as leader of a Silicon Valley neighborhood’s Pride Parade, in a lion-ish fursuit with a short rainbow tulle skirt and a shamanic large stick (wrapped with leather and fur, incorporating a bone knife and antlers) My gay brother hid in our neighborhood in the ‘70-80s. My trans girl struggled in middle and high school. David busted the doors open for everyone in LGBTQ/adjacent, neurodiverse, and alternative groups. He lived with full joy and showed so many of us how to be there for ourselves and others. David, we will live and miss you always ❤️❤️❤️

I’m the neighbor who dropped by to see Grandma. I sent this to her and want to share it with you and others:

David leading the neighborhood’s Pride Parade, 2021. Watching him engage with kids and their parents, amazing to see how he erased prejudice. As a Trans mom, I’m grateful for his Spirit&Love

So shocked and devastated that my neighbor Dr. David “Spotacus” Benaron has suddenly passed away. We were parents at the same time and worked on creating a great play park. He was so helpful in every way. I loved meeting him on a walk and standing to talk for an hour or more. Bless you, David ❤️❤️💔

I’m so so sorry. We were neighbors for almost 30 years. 😢

Can I share the info with the neighborhood?

Congrats!

There were
Some plums

ABLY SAVED

For a breakfast treat, but baby I've eat-
en them, this is just, to say.

One good thing about today in Los Angeles is that the mainstream media was onsite *before* the police started rioting.

So many news crews saying "the crowd here in LA is totally peaceful" right before LAPD and LA Sheriff started shooting and trampling people

There are / no plums / in your icebox / you were saaaaaaving for / a meal. / I'm g-o-o-oin' back / to the A&P, / the House / of Buyin' Plums.

Hey there Delilah
I ate those plums left in the icebox
If you wanted them breakfast
You should have purchased a few padlocks
For the treat
That you were hoping now to eat
So cold and sweet

Fantastic moment and the detail of the hawk’s eye!

Seriously, do not buy, stream, or otherwise support of promote more Harry Potter bullshit. It is no longer theoretical - Rowling is funelling those wizard bucks into getting the law changed to actively oppress an already-vulnerable minority.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

Your periodic reminder to add “ -ai” at the end of every Google search to avoid their dumb AI thing.

Your weather forecast is about to get a lot worse Do you realize how many thousands of balloons it takes to predict the weather?

The weather forecast does not appear by magic.

It relies on countless government employees, a massive network of sensors, tens of thousands of weather balloon launches—to record a stunning 6.3 billion observations/day

Now that system is being taken apart, piece by piece

Might want to find a way to discourage this, as raccoon poop can carry some nasty parasites like roundworm.

In Wednesday's statement, NIH's Bhattacharya said that the partnership with CMS was "an important step in our commitment to unlocking the power of real-world data to inform public health decisions and improve lives."

Autism is not a public health issue.

"We're using this partnership to uncover the root causes of autism and other chronic diseases," HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said in a statement.

Yeah, no. That's not how science works.

This is some real nazi shit that needs to be prevented

Father Nathan Monk posted on Facebook a message. This is a screenshot of the message, which says, "You are about to watch the whole world respect a chosen name. It's that easy."

It really is this simple.
