I miss news that left me yawning rather than irate. I won’t be posting much original content, others have typically said it better. I’d rather be talking about dogs, or the amazing & fun animals of the world, or music but here we are. Proud Californian.

'Feral, almost demonic': Surge in poisoned sea lions threatens SoCal beachgoers, burdens rescuers
Domoic acid poisoning is stranding marine mammals as warnings are issued to beachgoers of the threat posed by animals that are transformed by their illness.

Another harmful algae bloom is driving severely ill marine mammals onto SoCal beaches, disoriented and suffering from a neurotoxin. PLEASE call 800-39-WHALE to report a beached animal. The best thing you can do is keep your distance (pets too) and support places like @marinemammalcare.bsky.social

An old man-- 40 year old man, 30 year old man, 70 year old man -- doesn't need 1 billion dollars. They could be very happy with 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 million.

To give you some sense of how over the top this operation was, ICE gave Fox News DRONE FOOTAGE of the operation, showing a cavalcade of armored vehicles through the streets of Pasadena to serve a search warrant on a guy whose offense was stapling fliers on power poles with information about LEOs.

It’s #GrunionRun season in southern California! For those who don’t know, grunion are a fish that comes onto the beach to lay and fertilize eggs. In CA it happens during high tides after a full or new moon in spring. We don’t know where they go after they return to the ocean! 🦑

House Republicans Take Their Turn at Ravaging CFPB
Kneecapping the consumer financial protection agency would do much to enable fraud, and next to nothing to reduce federal expenditures.

A strong obsession for gold is called chrysophilism. This term, derived from the Greek words "chrysos" (gold) and "philos" (loving), describes an individual who cherishes or loves gold, whether in the form of jewelry, coins, or other objects

Alarming new study in JAMA modeling measles in the US:
If we stay at CURRENT vaccination rates, measles will become endemic again over roughly 20 years.
If rates drop by even 10 percent (and they're sliding), there would be 11 MILLION cases over the next 25 years. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...
