Thrilled to see Dr. Lucy Jones on Mullaney's limited #EverybodysInLA on @Netflix with stories, video from #Northridge #Ridgecrest quakes. Spoke with Dr. Jones during #GreatShakeout #CalTech media event in 2008 and again for Public News Service story I filed in 2014. tinyurl.com/ykv4drd4

Nearly 300 homeowners, renters, business owners in #Southcrest #LoganHeights and elsewhere along #ChollasCreek watershed file $100 million lawsuit contending #SanDiego city leaders knew associated #Stormwater infrastructure was in urgent need of attention. tinyurl.com/ybw7t88b

As our planet struggles with an #Extinction crisis and loss of #Species #Biodiversity , wild places left undisturbed by humanity has become a planetary necessity, making the #WildernessAct a landmark in legislative humility, and a vital preservation tool. tinyurl.com/bdtc8s6e

The @LATimes put it succinctly: Ignoring hundreds of complaints, the #CPUC voted unanimously to 'fundamentally change how electricity is billed by adding a new monthly fixed fee.' Unbelievable hubris. I will always stand with #Ratepayers , not shareholders. latimes.com/environment/st…

'If #Russia wins, the consequences are horrifying: the risk of a larger war in #Europe , greater likelihood of a Chinese adventure in the #Pacific , a weakening of the international legal order, likely spread of #NuclearWeapons , loss of faith in #Democracy .' tinyurl.com/46bmuyuv

These are such miserable numbers, made worse by Trump's #Dictatorial declaration and the #HeritageFoundation #Project2025 plan. Between a handful of congressional districts, #ThirdParty candidates, and Trump's #Cult this is going to end badly for everyone. tinyurl.com/48acu29t

Good grief, #SteveAlbini . How sad. #GenX shouldn't be losing our heroes so soon. Famously, #Albini didn't produce your record — he 'engineered' it. But everyone knows there was more to his role than balancing levels and setting up the mics. RIP, 1962-2024. tinyurl.com/33e2zaj7

Well done @Mulaney noting on #EverybodysInLA #PalmTrees aren't native and don't naturally grow in L.A. Even better the TreePeople guest noted the #Mediterranean #Climate and praised the #CoastLiveOak . Love the #ToLiveandDieinLA music use and Richard Kind seeking acid.🌴

Wonderful news with the #SanGabrielMountains #NationalMonument expansion! When I produced this Treehuggers Int'l. episode in 2010 we were still discussing #Wilderness options for the range. Kudos to Judy Chu for her persistent work for the #SanGabriels tinyurl.com/5xhw2m6w

As my wife was making a smoothie and running the blender at top volume my #Shihtzu was angrily barking at me in cadence for a treat. In the cacophony of noise I flashbacked to the L.A. Sheriff's Dept. deputies and #GermanShepherd restroom scene in the #ReservoirDogs #CommodeStory

According to Basin & Range Watch, 4,200 #JoshuaTrees will be destroyed to make way for a massive investor-owned #Utility #SolarArray in #KernCounty . Funds 'based on the size' of the trees will be put in a 'mitigation bank,' but it won't restore the #JoshuaTrees or #MojaveDesert habitat.

Not sure what's worse, that some #SpecialInterests are so petulant their candidate for the county's #CAO position wasn't selected, or that the head of the local labor council would use the language she did to mock the board chair. Unprofessional, entitled. tinyurl.com/5yfu4vs2

Fun watching Jerry Seinfeld and his cast in the hilarious new mega-60s #Unfrosted movie about the development of the #PopTart . Especially loved the homages to the great 1983 movie #TheRightStuff , right down to Jerry using the same inflection as #JohnPRyan 's #NASA administrator.

Trump says he won't accept the #Election results unless he wins. Then it will be fair. And while #Biden should victory lap his #Unemployment numbers, his team needs to avoid hubris and remember they're running against a cult where evidence has no merit.

After millions of years on our planet, the #DesertTortoise is 'spiraling to extinction.' Over the last 50 years #MojaveDesert tortoise populations have shrunk 90 percent and are now deemed critically endangered by the #IUCN and threatened by the #USFWS tinyurl.com/d6a8f6dj

Ten years ago #ClivenBundy 's cult was in a standoff with the U.S. gov't. because he was too cheap to pay his #Cattle Grazing fees, and his #Cattle are still grazing in #GoldButte #NationalMonument despite owing over $1 million in unpaid fees and penalties. tinyurl.com/yj69syzn

We could use a bit of #ChiefSealth 's wisdom this #EarthDay , delivered via #Soundgarden 's cover of #BlackSabbath 's #IntotheVoid . 'How can you buy or sell the sky, or the warmth of the land? We don't own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water.' tinyurl.com/yjjwhtjc

There used to be consequences for failing to adhere to accuracy, so let's be clear. #LindseyGraham is in Trump's pocket, and Trump is backed by #Russia . #Gaslighting is an overused term, but crediting Trump for #Ukraine aid is the very definition of it.

No small task to keep the #AllmanBrothers going after the loss of Duane and Berry, completing #EataPeach before moving on to #RamblinMan and their 90s return with #WhereItAllBegins when we #GenXers got to see the #Allmans live. RIP #DickieBetts , 1943-2024. tinyurl.com/393km8a9

For all its imperfections the #NorthwestForestPlan halted the #OldGrowth #Logging fever of the late 80s and may have saved #PacificNorthwest #Forests . But with #GreenEnergy #Biomass and #SalvageLogging challenges, we need zealots to preserve its intent. tinyurl.com/2u7jf925
