Your parents were old movie fans, I presume, I certainly am. Loved these films as a kid, they inspired and motivated me to be a good person. Who could ignore a moving performance like Fonda gave in these 2 films?

Judging from that first shot, she had some attitude. I’d miss her too

We’re also desalinating ocean water here & purifying & recycling some of the city’s black water.

Yeah, my bill is high.

@stuartpstevens.bsky.social suggested that a billboard ad be purchased near the not-really-a-Christian Mike Johnson's church. Message? Johnson protects pedophiles.

As to groundwater, there's this. Former admin leased land to the Saudis to grow alfalfa w zero restrictions on irrigation. Said lease was terminated in 2024.

Growing alfalfa in the desert? Bitch, please!

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years.

Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Dunno about the shift in usage, I've just read about the environmental horrors of data centers in the desert. Heavy water use, massive demand on the grid, raises electricity costs for consumers.
