This is cool: a self-managed, independent group of volunteers who are committed to reducing airborne risks. And it has this parakeet as its mascot — which is what caught my eye and made me want to know more.

The group will distribute free masks, have air filters available on loan, and more.

This is a tree I see all the time when driving home from one of the local beaches. #ThickTrunkTuesday

Today seems to call for dahlias.

So now my NOAA weather radio is nonfucntional. The station that's off the air is the one I got updates from, and my radio won't pull in from any of the others. Here's hoping the radio station gets fixed soon.

TIL that the same songwriter was behind Wild Thing and Angel of the Morning. And Try (Just a Little Bit Harder)! Thanks for the music, Chip Taylor.

It's #WhiskersWednesday — as though I need an excuse to share another photo of Tennessee.

Today is National Eucalypt Day in Australia. https://eucalyptaustralia.org.au/national-eucalypt-day/

So here, have some seeded eucalyptus from Half Moon Bay, California.

@ai6yr It seems this post has been updated; it now has a long statement from Dole about how the dam is just fine. It starts like this:

Wahiawa Dam has not failed. The system continues to operate as designed. The dam has been continuously monitored, and there are no signs of damage. The dam remains stable and structurally sound.

Reservoir levels rose above 85 feet, triggering a mandatory evacuation order under established precautionary safety protocols, and have since been trending downward, with recent readings at 83.20 feet. These thresholds are intentionally conservative and based on the time required to safely evacuate downstream areas; they do not reflect a loss of structural integrity.

@tylerstone LOL, literally!

@nomdeb Prior reporting: https://ktla.com/news/california/woman-80-accused-of-killing-family-of-4-in-california/

The driver was a woman who is now 80, so she would have been 78 at the time of the crash.

@eniatitova Did you see that the NYT covered the Mary Fong Lau case today?

@kimlockhartga Aww! Happy birthday to your wife! I hope she's having a wonderful day.

@jkirkendall 🎉

@jkirkendall I can only imagine how odd it must be to read the news about a place you know so well. And infuriating to read some of the commentary.

Your timeline can use more of Tennessee, right? Here he is, head-butting my computer display. He's super into head-butting.

(Yes, I know the icons aren't aligned.)

I don’t watch the news or listen to news podcasts, generally preferring my news in written form — with one (sometimes) exception. Recently, it’s been interesting listening to The News Agents out of the UK as this stupid and scary war progresses.

A few days ago the episode title was: Is Starmer ending his abusive relationship with Trump? Today’s episode delved into the long-term implications of the war, especially if it goes on for quite some time. It’s pretty grim.

The video version of the podcast:

(The first clip with Pete Hegseth is pretty short, followed by the journalists skewering him.)
