A little unexpected shake-up in Tacoma today! During today’s 4.2 magnitude earthquake, some of our aquarium animals were briefly startled, but everyone is safe and doing well. Most guests and staff didn’t feel the earthquake at all.

My mom passed away yesterday after more than two years battling cancer. Hard to find the words to say goodbye, but she was the best mom I could have hoped for and — for 8 years — the coolest grandma around. Thanks for everything, Mom. Love you.

This is insane.

Under a new interpretation of the law’s language outlined in the memo, the accidental killing or injury of an animal would no longer be considered illegal; only actions specifically intending to target an animal would.

The change would be transformative because, in the United States, the killing of endangered animals almost always happens incidentally, in the course of economic activity. Until now, industries and individuals could be held accountable for those foreseeable deaths and, as a result, they have been incentivized to avoid them.

When I was young, we worried about nuclear war. When I got older, we worried about climate change. Now we can worry about both.

Researchers found that “each year-to-year percent increase in canopy was associated with around a 10 percent reduction in mortality” A .03 percent year-to-year increase in tree cover (roughly, 14,000 new trees) would theoretically result in 105 fewer deaths per year.

City had a couple of moments late in the half, but some very encouraging stuff from Arsenal in terms of how we attack/make chances. Tzolis sharp, Odegaard's craft is so important, Havertz on the scoresheet, Calafiori being the most Calafiori he can be, and what a pass from Myles for the opener!

i don't really think WI-GOV was a polling miss so much as a huge amount of late movement. i'm sure there are things to fix on the polling side too, but like, if I take a picture of my street, and then a week later there are a bunch of new cars parked there, that's not the picture's fault.

If this is accurate, even a "Trump says this, but evidence does not support it story" will be insufficient. This speech is part of an explicit threat against democracy, to overturn and control democratic outcomes. If we can't call this out clearly, we are lost.

the only good thing about the Maine senate drama: it suggests we've finally made it out of the "everything is the 2016 campaign" phase of existence and now entered the "long 2024" era.
