Now that we’re talking about oil embargoes again, my old bumper stickers are back in vogue.

4 bumper stickers from the oil embargo in the 70s.

Sent a heat pump permit streamlining bill (SB 222) to the Governor, and swapped out my home gas stove for an induction range this morning. With the sale price and local utility rebate, it was 75% off. Pretty good day personally for building decarbonization.

Anyone got a good passive headline for this to exonerate the driver of any wrongdoing? The speed limit in our neighborhood is 25mph and you’ll note that this happened right AT THE STOP SIGN!

Somehow this happened at a stop sign in a neighborhood with a 25mph speed limit.

No one told the Dodgers about the Skubal curse- you’re under .500 on days he doesn’t pitch, and when he does pitch, maybe your offense isn’t so great.

Millions of Californians are breathing cleaner air thanks to CA's Community Air Protection Program. In 19 communities, #CapAndInvest dollars helped reduce: ✅27,000 tons of air pollution ✅293,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases ➡️ bit.ly/4yWuebU

Infographic showing statewide Community Air Protection (CAP) incentives from 2017–2025 and the resulting emissions reductions. A donut chart breaks down $837 million in funding by category: $216 million for off-road projects, $186 million for on-road projects, $177 million for infrastructure, $95 million for marine vessels, $84 million for community-identified projects, $73 million for locomotives, and $6 million for other projects. A second graphic summarizes estimated emissions reductions: 24,500 tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx), 1,700 tons of reactive organic gases (ROG), 1,000 tons of particulate matter (PM), and 293,600 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GHG). Figure caption reads: "Expanded CAP Incentives Statewide as of November 2025."

First Tigers game if the post Skubal era, and it’s hot here in Sac! Doesn’t help that we rode our bikes here out from the burbs. Today, I’m sporting the Alan Trammell jersey.

Trying to break my in person Tigers losing streak, which is at 6 games. For the occasion I have a new Troy Melton jersey, and Bev has a McGonigle. It’s 103 degrees and Dan Dickerson is probably complaining about it!

This is an outrageous story. A farmer donated 87 acres to a small Texas city on the condition it be used as a public park. Years later, the farmer has passed away, the city sold the land to a developer, and now it will be the site of a 135,000 square foot data center www.404media.co/a-farmer-don...

A Farmer Donated Land to Turn into a Park. The City Is Building a Massive Data Center Instead

JUST IN: Democrat Richard Pan is now in 2nd place in #CA06 congressional race, behind incumbent Kevin Kiley but ahead of Republican Michael Stansfield. Sacramento updated its count for 1st time, & Pan nets 2800 votes over Stansfield in this large batch of ballots. He's ahead of him 23% of 21%.
