I love this idea.

Mark Jacob at his Substack: fact checking is not enough. "We need fact-crusading, not just fact-checking. Yes, fact-crusading. News media must hold the facts in such high regard that the enemies of truth become their adversaries."

Mark is a former editor at the Chicago Tribune.
Fact-checking isn’t enough. We need fact-crusading.
The enemies of truth should be called out and confronted, not just corrected.

“In the silence”

Pasadena City Hall

Walking through Pasadena Amal meets a group of deaf children. Through this encounter, we understand that words aren’t everything & a lot can be said within the silence.

Good morning fr #Pasadena.

Working on fence plans atm. Here’s a rough 2D sketch. Mimics our early 1900s garage doors style. Colors only to make pieces stand out in drawing. Ty, the guy in the drawing, is the the default #SketchUp dude, at least for the free version.

Happy Sunday!
2D sketch made with the SketchUp application. It shows a 4-panel fence held by a total of 5 posts that are held in concrete-anchored post holders. Each panel is made of 5” vertical boards, all the way across, held by a H-shaped decorative wood frame capped both top and bottom. The man pictured here is caucasian with red hair and beard and appears to be holding a violin or yukelele. He is wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt and light gray pants.

A spotless garden isn’t a garden. Spotless means insects have no habitat, birds have no materials to build their nests, reptiles have no place to hide from people or the hot sun, no food. If leaves must be removed should at least be composted on-site. And if a blower is used it should be electric!

“operating a gas-powered leaf blower for an hour emits as much smog-forming pollution as driving a Toyota Camry from Los Angeles to Denver.” grist.org/solutions/le...
Hear that? It’s the sound of leaf blower bans.
As restrictions spread, neighborhoods are getting quieter — and cleaner.

Good morning fr #Pasadena. 🌤️ & 21°c today, so nothing to complain about. Warmer next week.

Yesterday 102-year old #AndyTheTortoise went into #brumation. He will spend the next 5-6 months in the cool & dark.

Here he is hydrating in warm (30°c/86°F) water beforehand. #CaliforniaDesertTortoise
California desert tortoise hydrating in a concrete mixing tub lined with a plastic bag. He is keeping his nostrils just above water trying to warm himself up in the water as much as he can because it’s a cool day today (only 21°c or 70°F) and nights have been cool and are getting longer.

I just texted President asking him to end support to Israel with its current efforts to annihilate Gaza. What we’re seeing is not defense; it’s revenge and the world must demand a ceasefire. You too can text #PresidentBiden at 1-302-404-0880
Please repost if you agree.

Good morning fr #Pasadena. 🌤️ & continuing cool with a high of 21°c (70°F) which is perfect for comfortable outdoor work 👏 👏

Off to get my day started. Enjoy your Thursday.

My claim to fame, accident-wise was to pickup my heat gone by the nozzle because I wasn’t looking. Omg… what a horrible burn that was and in my right, dominant, hand!!

25-30cm of #snow yesterday, still shovelling to do: I did at least an hour and a half yesterday, and my friend did around that this morning. Dashed out while the sky was blue this morning to get some photos before it clouded over. -8C today, -18 tonight. #Alberta #winter #migration #birds #trees
