Driving just 100 km with a car using biofuels would require close to 3,000 litres of water due to the huge amount of water they require.

It would only take about 20 litres to produce solar electricity to drive an EV that same distance.

I just watched the animation of past radar. Omg. Have there been landslides in the Palisades and Malibu burn scars?

City of Manhattan Beach owns the land under the country club & leases it to the MB Country Club. In a rejected draft Housing Element, the city said that the site would be developed into 100% low income housing.

It feels like the political overton window has shifted far to the Right because the wealth class controls our media and owns our politicians.

Meanwhile, the vast, vast majority of people belong to what would now be portrayed as “the extreme Left.”

It’s a perception game and narrative control.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

Completely agree with the “should” of this, but the problem is that dead and disappeared people never get their day in court. And even lots of people who do get their day in court never get justice, for reasons we all understand.

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Monster October storm for the San Gabriel Mountains - winds were aligned perfectly for orographic rainfall on the transverse ranges. 4”-5” across the west fork of the San Gabriel River drainage. Fire season is over up there.

This disparity does not seem surmountable: “American ships can cost up to five times the amount of those built in Asia. So far this year, China has made 717 large commercial vessels; the United States just one, according to BRS.”

LA's parks department is proposing fencing MacArthur Park with "a green wrought iron fence around both the northern and southern sections of the park. The proposed fence would fully enclose the historical Wilshire Boulevard sides and the eight historically prominent cornered ingress/egress points"
PROJECT SCOPE Over the years, MacArthur Park has remained a vital community gathering place, but it has also experienced ongoing public safety and quality-of-life challenges that pose challenges to perform maintenance and sustain park investments. In recent years, the Department of Recreation and Parks (RAP) has been working collaboratively with the Mayor's Office, Council District 1, and the Los Angeles Police Department to develop strategies that balance safety, accessibility, and
preservation of the park's historic character. The proposed wrought iron perimeter fencing reflects this balanced approach. The intent of the fencing is not to limit access, but rather to create a safer, more welcoming, and better-managed environment for park visitors and nearby residents. Similar approaches have been implemented successfully at other parks where perimeter fencing has helped improve conditions while
maintaining public access and programming. By installing perimeter fencing, RAP aims to provide greater flexibility in managing park hours, improve oversight during off-hours, and support long-term stewardship of this important public space. The proposed MacArthur Park Perimeter Fencing Project (Project) would install a green wrought iron fence around both the northern and southern sections of the park. The proposed fence would fully enclose the historical Wilshire Boulevard sides and the eight historically prominent cornered ingress/egress points. The fence would include gates at all ingress/egress points. The design of the perimeter fencing will need to comply with all applicable Los Angeles
Building Code requirements for egress, fire/emergency services, and accessibility. Upon approval of this Report, RAP staff would prepare and release a Task Order Solicitation to RAP's Pre-Qualified On-Call As Needed Park Facilities - Land Surveying, Civil Engineering, and Environmental Specialty Studies Consultant Services List to seek consultant support services for Project. The select…
