As California seeks to curb groundwater declines, agricultural landowners in one county are fighting back in court. "We hope that the state more carefully considers whether or not to place a subbasin on probation, and understands that their decisions have real consequences up and down the state." https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-07-27/court-stalls-state-effort-to-curb-groundwater-overpumping

Court stalls state effort to curb groundwater overpumping

Farmers in one California county are challenging state officials' effort to crack down on groundwater overpumping. A judge gives growers a temporary reprieve.

A young Kamala Harris, wearing a black coat with a high collar in front of a blurred maroon background. She has short hair and kind of a wistful look on her unsmiling gorgeous face. She about to drop the most fire synth album ever.

My favorite app for IDing mystery plants in my garden is Plant.net. It almost always gives me the correct ID in its first few suggestions. But sometimes it gives a wildly innacurate ID, suggesting something from Eurasia when a plant is actually native to the Pacific Northwest.

So when I used Plant.net to ID a volunteer coming up in a container with a native yarrow, I laughed when it told me I had a peanut plant. The photo shows what I saw when I pulled the plant up.

In my defense, the peanut was not visible until after I pulled the plant. And since I don't feed birds with peanuts in the shell, I didnt think there was much chance of a peanut plant popping up in my yard

The *peanut plant* is now ensconced in its own container where it will hopefully have a long, happy life.

"A wave of Israeli airstrikes targeting central and southern Gaza have killed at least 50 people and injured an estimated 200, with one strike hitting a school where thousands were seeking shelter...

Wounded people poured into the nearby Aqsa hospital, while images from Deir al-Balah showed families carrying injured children for treatment."

@derickr @cxj This reminds me a few months ago I ordered a glass of the Whistle Pig 18, knowing it would be expensive, but not realizing how expensive. When he left the bottle in front of me, I thought, “Oh, shit. This must be really expensive.”

It was about $125 for the shot. For comparison, a full bottle retails for about $470. There are about 17 shots in a bottle. I was expecting between $40 and $70.

There was a time where folks didn’t want to talk about climate resilience, only mitigation, because somehow it would take away from cutting GHGs? That was wrong. Now we’re in an era where resilience & mitigation are separate. Also misguided. We need combined mitigation & resilience forever. Let’s go

BC.

Come ON.

Absorb Translink as a provincial corporation and acknowledge that *transit doesn't have to turn a profit*. It's a PUBLIC SERVICE. If the Federal government can pay 24billion dollars over a few years to subsidize a pipeline that no one wants, they can surely fork over 600 million a year to help transit run. Do something good, Eby, you're making it hard to want to vote for you.
