News: Emile Thompson, the chair of the Public Service Commission regulating electric/gas utilities, is resigning Aug. 14, per multiple sources. He's been under a ton of pressure amid rising bills: and just chaired a lengthy hearing on a major Washington Gas project. Background:
But this has not quieted criticism from advocates, who have long charged the commission is too deferential to the needs of the utility companies. They’re urging the council to block the reappointments of Trabue and Thompson—both of their terms expire later this year. However, many environmental activists would like to see new appointments held until a new mayor and council are elected. (Allen said he’s withholding judgment on that request, for now, but noted he is hearing overwhelming frustration from residents over the commission’s leadership.)

“We need a commission that’s actually going to move forward planning for a managed and clean energy transition in the city,” said Claire Mills, an organizer with the Chesapeake Climate Action Network. “And we just feel like the current leaders haven’t shown over the last four years that they’re really willing to take that on.”

In the meantime, Mills would like to see the commission more closely scrutinize Washington Gas’ plans for making the most badly needed pipe repairs first before moving on to full pipe replacements (an issue Beverly also raised in his dissent). The PSC will have several more decisions to make on the next steps of the pipe project over the coming months.

What some call "unused land" is often the last safe haven for countless living creatures. Wetlands are not empty spaces waiting to be developed. They are nurseries for birds, natural water filters, flood defenses, and wildlife habitats that cannot be replaced once lost.

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios.

I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.”That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene.

I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it.

That’s great advice for life.

It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

As is often the case in ecology, things are complex. Solar farms might be good for (some) plants, insects, birds... "If grasses and wild plants are allowed to grow, insects follow, and birds come in behind them like neighbours noticing a reopened market." 🌎 🪲 🪳 🧪 www.ecoticias.com/en/we-assume...

We assumed solar farms wrecked the countryside, but research shows birds and insects often thrive beneath panels, where shade and shelter create new microhabitats
Research suggests well-managed solar farms can support birds, insects, grazing, and new habitats beneath panels.

It’s time for Northerners to stop pretending all Southerners voted for this shit. A full 1/3 of TN votes blue. They may have NO representation in Congress come January 2027. That’s what the gerrymandering crisis looks like. Racism and also the political disempowerment of huge swaths of voters.

The first translation of Beatrix Potter’s The Tale of Peter Rabbit to appear in any language besides English was in a Japanese farming magazine in 1906. The translation called Mr. McGregor Grandpa Mokubei and described him as “more fearsome than red and blue ogres”.
