And still Hamilton, Quebec City, and Houston wait

Pulse of the Continent YouTube video by CPKC

At any time, but especially now, it seems rare for a multinational corporation to commission a documentary of this quality. If the thing you know about CPKC is that they bought the naming rights to a soccer stadium in Kansas City, this offers a little more perspective youtu.be/M0SUPeQc_dI

I’m sure Tim Cook has a lot of possible reasons for stepping away from the CEO job now but I can’t help but wonder if the dissonance between what the company professes to stand for and his visible accommodation of the teetering regime in DC might be taking a toll

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

seven months on beehiiv, by the numbers was leaving substack worth it?

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes."

Here are the hard numbers:

Nothing beats that top notch Fanatics quality

One place you can help: this new non-profit is launching to help kids without access to insurance (or on insurance that isn't paying out) get GAC in California. They're working with VERY trusted providers who used to work at CHLA. It's all a scramble right now, $ helps.

Is anybody else thinking of the VGK/Utah first round matchup as the I-15 series, or is that just me?

(having spent a disproportionate amount of my younger life on that interstate, with family scattered along it from southeastern Idaho to just shy of the San Diego County line)

A couple of times this past season when the place was filling up again I would see or hear a remark about how loud it was, and I would think to myself “yes, but it’s not playoff loud yet”

Buffalo is playoff loud now

Oh to be having a moment in the Shark Tank the way Buffalo fans are right now

Someday, someday

Every time the digital ad insertion along the boards in an NHL broadcast dies for some reason it feels like a little gift to us viewers

with the Sharks missing the playoffs I have no special rooting interests, thus no superstitions to adhere to

working on a sustenance strategy for the day

quality reminiscence for those of us from a certain era in California family entertainment

since my growing-up time was divided between NorCal and SoCal (among other places) mentally I pair this with Lion Country Safari, which occupied part of the Irvine Ranch for a while and was irrational too

it’s just starting

I think watching (at least part of) four Stanley Cup Playoff games on the same day counts as “gluttony”

I haven’t seen this much fabulousness in one shot in a long time!

A herd of black cattle stands in a vast grassy field under a clear blue sky. In the distance, there are low mountains and scattered clouds.

A gray wolf trots through a snowy forest landscape, surrounded by pine trees. The ground has patches of snow and sparse vegetation.

A group of people seated in a conference room facing two speakers standing in front. There is a wall clock and a large screen nearby.

A panel of three individuals is seated at a table during a discussion event in a conference room. A screen behind them displays a presentation about solar energy projects and partnerships, featuring logos from the USDA and NCAR. An audience is seated in front, listening attentively.

As wolf populations expand, ranchers are facing losing livestock, income and sleep while working to protect their herds.

In Butte County, a community event brought ranchers, researchers and students together for coexistence and solutions.

Suggesting to me that the term “conservative” has lost all meaning, at least in this context

Nothing like a good old-fashioned leak from the highest circles of government

Mortifying reading; I do appreciate the gift link

California people, the state privacy agency is gearing up to (if you want) put the brakes on data about you being shared by others. I signed up. Look it over and see if you think it’s a good idea for you: privacy.ca.gov/DROP

Oh for those halcyon days of $4.00/gallon gas, she sighs in Californian

Attorney General Bonta Secures Critical Win in Nexstar/Tegna Merger Challenge, Court Orders Titans to Halt Merging Court grants states’ request for a preliminary injunction OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued the following statement after the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of...

We’ve secured a court order halting the merger of Nexstar/Tegna while our case continues — a critical win.

This merger is illegal, plain and simple. The federal govt may have thrown in the towel, but we’ll keep fighting for consumers, for workers, for affordability, and for our local news.

“Could” and “should” seem like poor word choices, and basing a story on the premise that “peace holds” sure isn’t a thing I’d be doing if I wanted to keep the respect of my listeners/readers

NWSLPA: “The right question is not whether the league should flip the calendar, but whether the right conditions exist to do so responsibly.”

Seems like a reasonable position to me www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Looking at all the snow piled up around the pitch as the #USWNT takes on Japan in suburban Denver, thinking about how the principal soccer leagues in North America want to flip to the calendar most of the football world observes, and concluding that we’re headed for an awful mess
