As we left, I saw a waiter in the kitchen opening up and throwing away all the cookies.

I once ate at Club 33, as a kid, because my friend's dad retired from the phone company (lineman) and he got park tickets and lunch there as a retirement gift. The only shady thing was a worm in my cookie, and we got front-of-the-line passes to Splash Mountain because of it.

The birds of prey have joined the orcas and otters, and I'm thrilled. " 'They're majestic, beautiful animals, but like, it sucks,' said Alfredo Del Barrio, who lives in the house behind the hawks' tree."

@mdbell79 Those are trail runner's hurdles!

When's the general strike?

@RCarhartHarris If you want meaningful data it ain't Muse

What commercial company with an eeg sensor(s) do you think stands the best chance of collecting the biggest eeg dataset across a population?

@__obie1 @RJCrowtherJr HAH!

Who can front me a half-million dollars?

@RJCrowtherJr @__obie1 I really want that control panel!

@patrickmcoleman @__obie1 Yess - the store... Nodding as I drive my new Doom Buggy to my own Tomb Sweet Tomb. I love the pedestal the Buggie sits on with the side panels duplicating the monster grates in the transoms above the inner doors of the Hansion Mansion.

@Curtis9980 We've had mega-clusters in spades out here -- such a beautiful flower to find under buckwheat.

@jordan_harper @PatBlanchfield Not an expert on the various versions, but the Lydia Davis translation is great.

Anybody have recommendations for Proust translations? There seems to be a lot of opinions out there. What say you @PatBlanchfield?

@EllenKushner My mom had us watch it once a year growing up, and last year she got to take my kids to see a staging of it here. So, so good!

PSA (I know all the words to every single song)

A cry for help on a dying platform: I have listened to the new Jason Mraz. And I keep listening to it.

@Sammy_Roth @whereishayley 2 years ago this was advertised locally (SD backcountry) as something to be applied quarterly (!) by homeowners to all surrounding vegetation, in addition to the roadside and powerline ignition prevention uses. I can't see how it wouldn't have a negative effect, esp. downstream.

@Sammy_Roth @whereishayley I was hoping you might dig into this. Similar kind of ethical dilemma as solar in sensitive open spaces: the fantasy of protecting humans from fire versus the likelihood of harming ecosystems.

Wildfire retardant — a crucial tool for slowing the spread of flames, or an ecological nightmare? A new kind of retardant that can be applied along roadways as a preemptive measure is stirring up the debate, ⁦@whereishayley⁩ reports: latimes.com/california/sto…

@nickripatrazone Sad to hear this, for you and for the Millions -- sending good energy for a new home for your work!

@jeffvandermeer @FloridaRewild Love love love it

Our Sunshine State Biodiversity Group nonprofit (@FloridaRewild), which I founded in January, has received a $40,000 grant for land conservation in North Florida--from the Fredman Family Foundation, based out of Miami. SSBG focuses on <20 acres ecologically rich property. 1/?

@todgoldberg I mean, it's a nice photo of a Pismo Beach strip mall, at least.
