I can't do Cataract gulch anymore (I'm 80) but they're on the trail near Hawk's hill in the Marin Headlands. A hanging garden of them.

Whoa! We have bears in Marin?

I am so happy that MacFarlane is reporting! He is the reporter I trust. This is a better match for him than C(BS).

I worked so hard canvassing for Gore. Think of how much better off the world would be if we had a president who was an environmental leader. Then it was doubly traumatic when Bush beat Kerry.

This is old school good politics. Clear the garbage. Clear the snow. Make like easier.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

It's RFK Jr.!

I think he wants us to remember and be intimidated. He wants us to let him get away with it or encourage it to happen on a large scale to keep him in power. I don't think he wantd us to forget.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger.

But Liam was scared and frequently asked what they had done wrong, where they were and what happened to the little blue knit hat he wore the day he was detained, Conejo said. There wasn’t much he could say to his son, “except hug him and tell him everything would be OK,” Conejo said.

Liam has since been reunited with his hat and continues to wear it, even inside the house, his dad said Thursday. Asked how he might one day explain to Liam everything that has happened, Conejo said he would tell his son that he had become the face of hope and change. "He was the global figure who did all this so that the voices of the people demanding freedom would be heard, especially those of the children who are still locked up," Conejo said. “I would tell him he was very brave and that I am very proud of him.”

welp, this destroyed me first thing upon waking up

Compassion, understanding, acceptence, peacfulness. Monks walking through the snow. And then there are these guys.
