OC has gone woke, I repeat, OC has gone woke

First Orange County results on Prop 50:

Yes - 350,554 (57.1%)
No - 253,404 (42.9%)

YES on 50 doesn't need to win OC, but YES WILL WIN ORANGE COUNTY

The definitive account of the Watergate-style coverup Dick Cheney orchestrated after shooting that one guy in the face.

Shoot first, avoid questions later - Salon.com

The White House's secretive response to Cheney's misfire cannot be understood apart from the society of Texas royalty.

one-out popups with runners in scoring position are unfortunate, but if you hit one at least 50 feet high you are awarded 100 in-game credits that can be spent on sunflower seeds or gum in the dugout shop. that explains most of these

Next week is looking quite active in CA as a high-amplitude flow pattern develops over North Pacific in downstream response to perturbation of jet stream by West Pacific #TyphoonHalong. NorCal looks quite wet & stormy (rain & iso. tstms/mtn snow); SoCal impacts TBD. #CAwx #CAfire

Snapshot from ECMWF ensemble of an unseasonably deep low pressure system centered just west of San Francisco by early next week. It will likely bring widespread rain, isolated thunderstorms, some mountain snowfall, and possibly some gusty winds though exact path and impacts remain TBD.

they really don't make scientific diagrams like they used to

from
Soulé, Michael E. “What Is Conservation Biology?” BioScience 35, no. 11 (1985): 727–34. https://doi.org/10.2307/1310054.

a diagram of cancer biology and conservation biology as "crisis disciplines," each represented at the heart of a circle with other disciplines embedded like spikes in the perimeter
