IMO, The congressional effort to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting hinges on Alaska’s two senators, along with Susan Collins of Maine. Good reporting from Nathaniel Herz of Northern Journal.

38 is the new 40. Awesome to see my mom (briefly) in Boston with dinner and great in-laws (and also that weird lady on the far right). A great birthday topped off by Gilly slicing her paw and a vet visit. She’s a trooper.

One fun thing about this story is that it includes quotes from my interview with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who brought up, unprompted, the notorious "Wolves Only Roadway" episode of the West Wing — and pointed out that a pre-Swanson Nick Offerman plays one of the humorless wildlife advocates!

Reddit exists so I can finally understand why "BLANK skis in jeans" is considered an insult. I've always loved seeing old guys at Maverick Mountain skiing in jeans. www.reddit.com/r/vermont/co...

There's been a lot of discussion after the Los Angeles fires about clearing brush to reduce the fire risk. It's not that simple -- Southern California's chaparral is vastly different than the state's forests. On @npr.org today www.npr.org/2025/02/11/n...

Why clearing the brush around Los Angeles won't reduce the wildfire danger
After thousands of homes were destroyed, many are looking for ways to make Los Angeles safer from wildfires. But clearing dense shrubs on the hillsides could actually make the fire danger worse.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.
