@MattMahanSJ I had such a good time with other Matt Mahan supporters, and even got a chance to get to know both Mayor Mahan and his lovely wife a bit chatting on Caltrain. As a transit advocate, I say bravo!

San Jose @MattMahanSJ talks about his campaign for Gov, from the Blue Angels in Oakland to the folks who lost their homes on LA.

People have lost trust. The answer was a making our govt deliver

@neary74066 @KelseyTuoc I was cleaning up the room where my son stays. Under a couch was a Trader Joe’s naan in a plastic bag. Not molded, still soft. My guess is we’re talking a month plus since he bought it. I make bread and it’s hard as a rock or molding after a week. What is that all about?!?

This video is an important reminder of why gay men need to speak up for lesbians today.

They’ve taken the brunt of the most aggressive and hostile battles around gender ideology.

Amazing.

For anyone who has never met the Superb Lyrebird of Australia.

David Attenborough says it displays one of the most sophisticated voice skills within the animal kingdom—"the most elaborate, the most complex, and the most beautiful."

The chainsaw always brings tears to my eyes.

A Brazilian farmer playfully calls out each cow’s name from his notebook, and the cows answer with distinct moos proof that daily routines have taught them to recognize their names.

RIP, MTT. We are so fortunate to have an incredible symphony, ballet and opera. MTT made the Symphony.

Michael Tilson Thomas was a visionary leader in San Francisco’s music and arts community and helped shape our entire city’s cultural identity. In his time leading the San Francisco Symphony, Michael elevated the city’s music scene onto the global stage through innovative performances and a passion for bringing music to more people. As one of the first prominent and openly gay conductors, he helped lift up our LGBTQ+ community, commissioning and composing works that resonated deeply with many San Franciscans. His love for our city has been an inspiration to Becca and me and for generations of San Franciscans. His legacy will live on for generations to come. https://t.co/dknw5yAMLU

@Twolfrecovery @SteveAdami @mattdorsey @BrookeJenkinsSF @RafaelMandelman @HUDgov @ONDCP @SaraCarterDC Tom, I heard @theoellingtonSF talking about this (supporting Salvation Army) five years ago. He got nowhere. Just want to make sure he gets credit for what was, at the time, a very unpopular view—as you are well aware. It was an eye opener to me back then.

This is how a blue whale feeds her baby underwater.

Blue whale nursing is a fascinating feat of underwater engineering. Since calves can’t "latch" and suckle like land mammals (they’d swallow too much saltwater), the process is more like a high-pressure injection.

When the calf is ready, it nudges the area, and the mother uses her abdominal muscles to voluntarily squirt the milk into the calf's mouth.

The milk is incredibly rich—about 35% to 50% fat. This gives it a consistency similar to soft butter or toothpaste, which helps it stay in a cohesive clump underwater rather than dissolving.

The calf curls its tongue into a "U" shape to create a straw-like funnel, ensuring the nutrient-dense milk goes straight down its throat.

This high-speed feeding allows a calf to drink over 200 liters of milk a day, gaining about 90 kg (200lbs) every single 24 hours.
