No vehicle reservations required for Yosemite Firefall in February. Supt. McPadden says he's recommending no vehicle reservations for summer too, but Interior Dept. must decide. Link below.

Spectacular research misconduct at @UMNews. Left unmentioned is that the university has been investigating Lesne and Ashe for two years and still hasn't issued a finding. This is standard procedure here.

50 years ago today, on September 20, 1973, @BillieJeanKing defeated Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes, a tennis match watched by 90 million people worldwide.
The impact of her victory not only permeated the sports world, but also advanced women’s rights and equality everywhere. Today, women tennis players are the highest paid of any sport and the effects of Billie Jean's win continue.
The work is not done, but today we celebrate greatness.
She won, we won.
Thank you, Billie Jean.
And today, viewers can watch our conversation about this historic anniversary - 1:45pm ET on @cnni and tonight on @PBS.

Embracing every possible conspiracy doesn't make you an independent and critical thinker, but an overly dependent & uncritical one.

Certain members of the Saint Paul City Council are trying to ban vaping & smoking of anything & everything on public property.
Yet when they walk into work everyday they pass by this statute, called Vision of Peace, at the entrance of the building.
Dude has an 8 foot tall pipe!

pretty much Charles Lindbergh 1939- the idea that rewarding Putin for invading a neighbouring sovereign state would " advance American interests" tells you all you need to know about how deeply he thinks about anything let alone what matters most.

Such blatant, vile garbage always means either the presence of Russian money or the absence of any morality. But they also often travel together.

MyPillow guy—Mike Lindell —unveiled his long-hyped plan to catch supposed election thieves red-handed and it involves flying drones in or around polling sites to check for suspicious WiFi. Please do not do that without a lawyer. trib.al/5S5pmlc

As local news voices vanish, it won’t be just the presidential nominating process that suffers from a dearth of facts, writes @cullen_art, editor of the @SLTimes. People suffer. bostonglobe.com/2023/08/16/o…

🙄 If you trust these issue-polling results, you're... well, I don't want to say anything mean. All of them lead with "priming" language that's likely to push less-committed respondents toward one answer.
On policy questions, people support municipal sidewalk plowing, rent stabilization, Housing First, and expanding ballot measures by wide margins. People do not believe MPD has undertaken the necessary reforms after the murder of George Floyd. (3/3)
ALT Support/oppose results on municipal sidewalk plowing and rent stabilization
ALT Support/oppose results on Housing First, whether MPD is reformed enough, and ballot measures

This story about police in a small Kansas town raiding the local newspaper and seizing items in a way that seems illegal is chilling and cannot be tolerated. Time to spread this story far and wide and pressure local officials to explain themselves. loom.ly/TJiW3fQ
