After 2024, pundits brushed off the Resistance as cringe. I submit: Yes, it was. And cringe is good. Cringe, in fact, will save democracy.

Resistance Is Cringe

But it’s also effective.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Pacific Grove, Monterey, Monarch Sanctuary. We saw about 15,000 of these beautiful butterflies there. Her Majesty is feasting on a white flower. A docent lead our party explaining the work done by the sanctuary and the West Coast migration. These butterflies don't go to Mexico to overwinter.

Arden Wood Monarch Sanctuary, Fremont, California. Much smaller than Pacific Grove we saw about 1500 butterflies including His Majesty who kindly posed for photographs from his many admirers. WE know he's male because of the black spot just showing on the vein on the underwing where it meets the upper.
The docent here was called Chris, a lovely young woman, who explained the migration, the work done on the farm to protect not just the Monarch but all wildlife.

Arden Wood again. Clusters of Monarchs just hanging around, soaking up the sun, too tired to open their wings

Arden Wood, another cluster, this one much busier, a lot of fluttering and jostling for position.
I don't have words to describe my joy at seeing these magnificent butterflies in such numbers. Only the 1996 irruption of Painted Lady in York, a once in a life time experience, surpassed these 2 visits.

There is one lone cybertruck in my itty bitty southern town. We all know who he is. He's a coded topic in the What's Happening in town Facebook group. He's an ass. He's on wife #5. He drives that thing up & down main street, ALL DAY LONG.

Confused writing is usually a symptom of confused thinking. As we struggle to clarify writing, we clarify our thoughts. AI writing aids rob us of that struggle, leaving clean-looking text and thoughts still confused for lack of inspection. Writing is not just a product; it is a diagnostic tool.
