I don't particularly like Newsom but I also don't want a repeat of people refusing to vote for Hillary in the general because she wasn't Bernie, or worse, voting Trump. But people are determined to make the same mistake again.

The greatest threat to ocean biodiversity in the past 50 yrs—more than climate change or plastic pollution—is unsustainable fishing. So countries around the world have been creating marine protected areas. But in the US, 47 is undoing marine protection. A marine biologist explains, No pay wall.

theconversation.com

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life

America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

A friend of mine asked: what makes a decision good? Surely it's not the outcome. And how would you even define "good" in that context anyway? I responded: I agree you shouldn't judge a decision by its outcome, but I'd substitute the estimated outcomes you can predict with information you have.

One of the lesser-known things about measles is that beyond just the rash and misery that it brings, it also kills a lot of your immune system's memory. So after you get measles, most of the natural immunity you had to other things is just gone. www.zmescience.com/science/news...

Governments have a bunch of regulations about who can access personal data and why, and those are in place for good reasons. Then we get these kinds of jackasses who think the rules don't apply to them.

A Facebook post from Alt National Park Service which reads: Elon Musk's staff has been caught plugging in hard drives inside the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Treasury Department, and the General Services Administration (GSA). His staff encountered resistance when demanding that Treasury officials grant access to systems managing the flow of more than $6 trillion annually to programs like Social Security and Medicare. Tensions escalated when Musk's aides were discovered at OPM accessing systems, including a vast database known as the Enterprise Human Resources Integration (EHRI), which contains sensitive information such as dates of birth, Social Security numbers, performance appraisals, home addresses, pay grades, and length of service for government employees. In response to employees speaking out, Musk's aides locked civil servants out of computer systems and offices, with reports of personal items being searched.

We all need to buck up and look at the facts. Trump is a 78 year old lame duck who has never gotten more than 50% of the vote. He’s never been popular. Look at what McConnell did to Obama, who blew out McCain, had 67% approval at inauguration, and 60 seats in the Senate. McConnell fought. It worked.
