It is infuriating that this now needs to be part of high school curricula. youtu.be/VUErkf3XEEs?... Because Republicans care more about money than our kids.

And what's up with "Run Hide Fight is a registered trademark of the city of Houston"??? That is not a good thing for your city to be known for

SB 72 makes the state start planning for 9 million acre feet of new water supply. Goodbye everything Californians care about that makes our state special.

Gov signed this into law. This is the most unhinged disconnected-from-reality thing. Unless you want to flood the Mojave Desert (a horrible idea) there is no use for this much water. It will be expensive, both ecologically and environmentally. We must get this overturned, or we have doomed CA nature

Okaaaay, I'm not seeing that in my search results today--today it is telling me it doesn't exist. This implementation of AI is worse than worthless and keeps getting worse. The Silicon Valley tradition of releasing flawed beta projects has reached a new low.

When Google's AI search tells you that Excelsior Mountain is the second-highest peak in the Sierra Nevada (it is really 8th highest just in Yosemite, which doesn't even have any of the 14 or so peaks over 14,000 feet), you know AI technology is fundamentally flawed and needs bigger-print disclaimers

At the same time, MAGA needs to step back from the brink and let real scientists (those following the scientific method and not just belief) dominate the discussion of cutting edge or economically and ideologically troublesome questions.
Lies destroy. Save our country and our constitution with truth

MAGA needs to stay in its lane, acknowledge and assert that its unproven beliefs are no more valid than anyone else's, stop using government and corporations to promote lies and conspiracy theories, and allow freedom of thought to return to this once-free evidence-driven science-embracing country.

Science inspires us to realize that everything is connected. But a step too far in that direction leads to questions science has not yet answered (obscure, difficult, expensive, economically less-relevant or inconvenient) or is ill equipped to handle (religion, faith, belief).

when it comes to kicking the clay feet of would-be dictators. Mark Twain said it best: Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand. Which is what makes Kimmel so relevant in this moment.

Oh look, a brand new Climate Action Plan going to Novato (CA) city council tomorrow.

88% of transportation and land use reductions to be accomplished through electric cars. Everything else is peanuts.

In the Heart of the Land The Mono Lake Kootzaduka’a Tribe’s Return to Tupe Nobe

Tupe Nobe represents the first land formally owned & managed by the Mono Lake Kootzaduka’a Tribe since the European American settlement of the Mono Basin 200 years ago. Prior to the Mono Lake Kootzaduka’a Tribe’s ownership, Tupe Nobe was known as Burger’s Sierra Retreat (where I lived summer 1996!).

Governor Newsom doesn’t trust Californians...

His push to waive state laws through budget trailer bills — gutting public disclosure, fiscal responsibility and environmental protections — makes clear he thinks he alone knows best. mavensnotebook.com/2025/09/09/c...

Possibly the most disturbing recap of MAGA regime news in a terrible year of disturbing news. The dismantling of democracy is escalating and we all must save it.

So nice. Kids love it, we'll never get to bed.

It is actually pouring rain!

C-WIN: Mirroring the Trump Playbook: Eliminating CEQA review for water quality control plans would weaken California’s democratic integrity By Max Gomberg, C-WIN In California we are fortunate to have both state and federal law to protect our rivers, streams, lakes, and bays. It might seem redundant, then, to subject our water quality con...

New setbacks could be fatal for $2.7 billion plan to build major reservoir in Santa Clara County Cost overruns, delays and opposition have hobbled project planned near Pacheco Pass.

It is a good summer for canceling expensive harmful dam projects. Unfortunately, someone is always trying to convince taxpayers to waste their money on dams.

I can't believe our state legislators are voting for this ridiculousness... are they competing with the federal government to see who can do the dumbest, cruelest, and most harmful and expensive things?

Critical read. Seriously, you need to read this. Everyone does.

Just keep in mind that there will not be a "magic trick" to save us at the end. This plan will result in the destruction of all complex life on this planet, including these idiot techbros. And it is a deliberate *plan*.

MTC staff indicates that the proposed bike shuttle will operate approximately every 20 mins, & accommodate 10 bikes/riders at a time. They don’t note that the shuttle won’t operate overnight or early morning, when there is also no bus service, leaving individuals w/o cars w zero options.

Delta tunnel plans echo California’s troubled history of trying to control water | Opinion As Californians recover from fires and Gov. Gavin Newsom tries to fast-track the Delta Conveyance Project, we must learn from our past.

If destruction can be built one choice at a time, so can repair. ...what does accountability look like when harm is inherited but the consequences are still unfolding? The control we seek may already reside within us... calmatters.org/commentary/2...
