The palindromic numbers 24|42 mark today as an auspicious moment in my life. My retirement today from the State Assembly marks nearly 24 years as an elected. 42? That’s the wedding anniversary Robbie and I share this day. The numbers add up to one: Yes, I am one lucky guy! 1/2

Proud to endorse @SionRoy for California State Senate!

[Dr. Sion Roy for State Senate @SionRoy]

I'm deeply grateful for the endorsement of Hon. @RichardBloom whose leadership as Mayor, Assemblymember, and Judge has shaped our communities for the better. His decades of service inspire me to bring the same integrity and experience-driven solutions for all SD24 families.

Been making these improvised #RobbiesBrownies since the 80s. Props to the late #MaidaHeatter and her timeless “Book of Great Chocolate Desserts” for the inspiration and to mother-in-law Betty Black for gifting me the book after I dropped the hint that I coveted it. #BloomBakes

Declining numbers of mental health workers is of utmost concern as need for mental health services increase. State investment is considerable but needs to be ongoing. https://t.co/fZokU0v4DG

CDC: “In the US, the prevalence of obesity and severe obesity has increased since 1980, and in 2017-2018 more than 4.5 million children and adolescents had severe obesity.”

[Dr. David Ludwig @davidludwigmd]

Sign of the Times:

CDC releases new body mass index (BMI) growth curves for children.

Beginning at age 20, obesity is BMI ≥ 30

RIP #KenBalcomb, friend to the orcas who helped end their captivity and also helped inspire my legislation #AB2305, the California Orca Protection Act, and its predecessor, #AB2140 #blackfishbill https://t.co/2wNwY7fbKS

@bethpratt: Thank you for always being P-22’s champion. His life should inspire us to increase our efforts to expand habitat with safe crossings and land acquisitions and eliminate the poisonous rodenticides that have wreaked so much havoc among apex predators and other species.

[Richard Bloom @RichardBloom]

This is incredibly sad news about P-22. But, we can be uplifted by the legacy of awareness about the plight of wildlife that he brought to us. And we can take solace in the fact that he lived a long and meaningful life. RIP P-22!! https://t.co/yNHuN8kchd

[Beth Pratt @bethpratt]

At 12 years old, P-22 has lived an impressively long life..for Pratt, the assessment that he was struck by a car is “the final tragic note” in his remarkable life and speaks to how “the lack of connected space didn’t allow him to be fully a mountain lion.” https://t.co/ZZw2kCnDZ7

I am very optimistic that the Commission on the State of Hate will, through its work, come up with concrete ideas that will materially address and reduce the growing hate speech, conduct and crimes that effect the State of California and our world.

[Richard Bloom @RichardBloom]

I just gave welcome remarks to the newly formed California Commission on the State of Hate. The Commission was formed after @GavinNewsom signed my bill, AB 1126 in 2021. He included funding for the Commission in this year’s budget, enabling today’s inaugural meeting.

[Richard Bloom @RichardBloom]

I am very impressed by the background, expertise and commitment of the members of the Commission on the State of Hate. You can see for yourself, here: https://t.co/3iq0m72Z7E

2+4=6
4+2=6
24+42=66

Numerologists say that “66” is the number of balance and harmony, unity and coming together as one and symbolizing peace, love and understanding.

I’ll take it.

2/2
