Into the 20s outside, the nearly 60-year-old citrus tree has arrived in our dining room for now. Yes, it needed fertilizer and it has some now.

Wow, apparently UCPD arrested 4 people for felony vandalism for allegedly hanging up a cardboard bug and putting up posters. 3 are held on $20k bail, 1 on $10k bail.

The North Atlantic right whale, on the edge of extinction, is showing early signs of a slow recovery.
New data from the North Atlantic Right Whale Consortium, New England Aquarium, and NOAA estimate around 384 individuals in 2024 - a 2.1% increase from the previous year.

The fact that rich people are buying up the media and politicians, and using up the remaining carbon budget is very bad for everyone.

One of the talking points I keep seeing from Democrats is that part of the deal is that it will "ensure federal workers receive back pay" but that's the existing law!
That's not something you've won in negotiations. That's just the letter of the law. You don't get to claim that as a win.

Pre-shutdown I heard from a bunch of federal employees who would lose income and maybe jobs and so on who basically all wanted Dems to fight (such as www.gravityisgone.com/shut-it-all-...). They also tended to expect them to cave. Anyway.

Trump is starving people, sabotaging air travel, and taking away healthcare.
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

Consistent with a court order, Wisconsin legally loaded FoodShare payments to cards. Now, the Trump Administration has spent the last 48 hours making a last-ditch effort to yank those payments from nearly 700,000 Wisconsinites, including 270,000 kids. It's pathetic.

most of my group chats right now are federal workers trying to help each other find food and emergency help
people are getting tripped up in red tape trying to get a pittance of unemployment that doesn’t cover DC housing
people don’t have assurance about backpay and are worried savings are gone
