Officials with @NOAAFisheries said Wednesday that rope found wrapped around the tail of a dead juvenile right whale that washed up on Martha's Vineyard last month is "is consistent with the rope used in Maine state water trap/pot buoy lines." #whales https://t.co/5wPlQEoZsM

@TheGeorgeHarvey I could swear there used to be a log out option in the main navigation section. It was dropped even before the Mu*k takeover.

It doesn’t reflect too well on this platform that they make it nearly impossible to sign out of the mobile version. It takes Inception-level navigating through multiple menus to find it. Am I missing an easier option?

[Charlie Eichacker @ceichacker]

@TheGeorgeHarvey That looks to me like deleting an account from that phone (which would i suppose sign you out). But I could be wrong. The way I found is through settings, then down through a few other account settings.

@HitchMagee @MainePublic Thanks for sharing, Michael!

How are people who should not be able to obtain guns still getting them? A good read here from @MainePublic

Not to stir up too much drama in the world of Maine children’s books, but there are now two picture books titled “The Lobster Lady” about the same person.

For a good laugh, I recommend History of the World, Part II.

A bill that would end Maine's plastic bag ban -- in the name of environmental progress, health and consumer choice -- appears to be getting the legislative equivalent of ratioed. About 15 pieces of testimony against, 3 for it.

Only a handful of other states still use absolute dominion; many others have adopted reasonable use as water has become more scarce. And that could lead to bigger fights over companies like Poland Spring exporting bottled water from the state.

[Charlie Eichacker @ceichacker]

Short thread: We have a pair of stories out today on groundwater withdrawals in Maine. @SusanSharon1 has this great dig into a community that's seeking more accountability for the water Poland Spring pumps out of the local aquifer: https://t.co/7li5ywDBen

Finally, one of the more interesting questions to me is whether the Legislature might choose to abandon its more hands-off approach to regulating groundwater use, called "absolute dominion" and move to a system called "reasonable use."

Maine’s water resources have come under heightened scrutiny amid climate change, drought and other factors. While officials insist water is plentiful, some residents argue Maine has fallen behind in its oversight and should put more protections in place. https://t.co/ruS1cXV7ke
