Election officials are "resolute in ensuring that their voters will be able to vote freely, and that there will be a fair election in 2026” amid the administration’s campaign to undermine elections, @larrynorden.bsky.social tells npr.org.

A gray wolf was spotted in LA County for the first time in 100 years yesterday. Clearly a big deal.
But on my morning walk thru Los Feliz, this "little wolf" (aka coyote) is giving off "hold my beer" vibes.

I've enjoyed opera in Italian, German, and French without understanding all, or even most, of the words.
I've enjoyed the folk music of my ancestors in Irish Gaelic without understanding even a handful of the words.
Music transcends language.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spoke… there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while you’re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

Fossil fuels are only providing 25% of the electricity in Texas today.
