Never have I ever. As a former federal employee who took an oath to serve this country, I find politicization of a federal agency’s website utterly repulsive. Repugnant. Reprehensible. No disrespect to the career USFS employees who had nothing to do with this. But this administration is pathetic.
From my bivouac in the California war zone. Awaiting reinforcements. Pray for us.
I took the pledge! #CleanAirDay
Proposed amendments to California's Low Carbon Fuel Standard would strengthen the program, ensuring businesses can build needed charging infrastructure and providing billions in new funding for EV adoption, says CalETC Executive Director @laurarjoyce.bsky.social.
BTW, one of my favorite childhood memories is getting my packets of seeds in the mail for my grow-your-own vegetable garden kit. Mmmmmmm! That first radish!
Not my garden photo, but yeah. I’m with you 100%.

Reminds me of the legendary L.A. traffic reporter Bill Keane telling everyone to “watch out for da brie on the freeway” when a truck carrying a load of cheese spilled over.

I used to work as a typographer in a typesetting house on Wilshire Blvd. Imagine me trying to explain that to the young’uns!
So many layers to this movie. In the beginning, he was just showing up in people’s dreams as a passive observer. It wasn’t until his self-loathing started that he began appearing as malevolent. There’s a lesson there.
This is the book that inspired me to pursue a career in media relations so many years ago. I found it in a used bookstore in Long Beach. Fun to read it again after I’ve done all the things in Washington, DC and L.A. that I could only dream about back then.
Told ya.

The ability of humankind to create and adapt is astounding. What’s next, a non-polluting energy application for petroleum?
In today’s WaPo by annamphillips.bsky.social: The CEC will add 17,000 to California’s existing 152,000 EV charging stations. (Proud to have played a part in adding 38,000 of those alongside SCE’s eMobility team.) Once again, my state is a bellwether—this time in the ZEV revolution. ⚡️🚙

PR professionals have struggled for decades with how to measure the impact of their efforts. It looks like we may be getting closer to having meaningful metrics. Good story by @eleanorhawkins.bsky.social of @axios.com.
You’re doing a great service to humanity.
Yep. Blue skies ahead! 🦋
