@TrudiiBee Just re-watched "Charade" which I'd loved as a kid. Now see Cary Grant serially abuse Audrey Hepburn from word go, lying about who he is multiple times, at each turn of events he "comes clean," which turns out to be another lie/betrayal. And she falls in love and marries him????

It's brutal, isn't it.

Some actors don't just play heroes—they inspire them.

On "Emergency!" Randolph Mantooth's John Gage introduced America to the groundbreaking LA County paramedic program my father created and inspired a generation of firefighters and paramedics. May he rest in peace.

We've known since 2020 that SARS-CoV-2 causes neurological damage. The picture keeps getting fuller, but it's the same picture. Protect yourself and your loved ones, please. Wear a mask. Clean the air. Advocate for clean air in all public places.

From Raymond Chandler to David Hockney to David Lynch, people have said that the light in Los Angeles is in of itself special.

Gazing at the sky over Griffith Park today, I have to agree.

"When the show premiered, there were 12 paramedic units in all of North America...Within 10 years, more than half of all Americans were within 10 minutes of a paramedic rescue or ambulance unit.

Experts say that growth simply would not have occurred without Emergency!"

[CriticalMassPerformanceGroup @CriticalMassPG]

@la_dorkout Oh no! I loved Emergency and Randolph Mantooth! How lucky that you knew him.

“We are liquidating the Earth’s natural capital. We are tearing down the biological library before we have even read the books. No amount of economic growth can compensate for the loss of a self-sustaining biosphere.”

We seal envelopes not because the letter contains a conspiracy, but because the contents belong exclusively to the sender and the receiver.

The "nothing to hide" argument is pure corporate/state propaganda. Privacy isn't about hiding a crime; it's about deciding who gets access to your life. It’s a boundary of power, not a shield for guilt.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

On a hot July day, a single mature tree in your yard pumps somewhere around 100 gallons of water up from its roots and out through its leaves as water vapor. A mature elm with 150,000 leaves can clear that in a day.

As that water evaporates off the leaf surface, it carries heat away with it, the same basic physics that makes sweat work. The air around the canopy drops measurably.

The cooling effect of a single large tree transpiring 100 gallons of water is roughly equivalent to two household air conditioning units running all day. Except it runs on sunlight and groundwater, costs nothing, and has been doing it since before your house was built.

A yard with mature canopy runs 5 to 10 degrees cooler than a paved or treeless yard next door. That's not a feeling. It's a physics difference you can measure with a thermometer. The urban heat island is real, and it gets worse one removed tree at a time.

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is this weekend, before another hot ass July like this one comes around.

has a good website ever considered just making a modest amount of money in perpetuity and staying good instead of cashing out and getting ruined by the highest bidder?

[MRussell @DrJizo]

Don’t EVER. Allow anyone. To cut down a healthy tree. Not ANYWHERE. Ever.

Still a masterpiece in the most depressing way.
