Dozens of large 1920s multi-family RSO buildings are hitting the market in a wave. Will Los Angeles leaders act to keep modest, stable housing like The Fedora Arms Apartments populated? We fell in love with this facade visiting Papa Cristo's (RIP). https://t.co/HCyQSvPpM9

What? The Monkees singing a 16th-century traditional Spanish Christmas carol? Yep, they did!

The Monkees took plenty of flak from magazines that loved comparing them to “real singing groups.” Their flawless a cappella performance of this song made it clear they could actually sing and the criticism was undeserved.|

The Monkees delivered a perfect a cappella version of Riu Chiu in their 1967 Christmas television special. It was later released on their album Missing Links, Vol. 2.

What's your favorite Monkees song?

What Joyce Carol Oates wrote to Elon Musk on Twitter. I am told it rattled him. I love it.
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates – scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”

The chickadee calling in your yard right now may be telling you something specific, if you know how to listen.

Black-capped chickadees use two distinct alarm signals. A soft, high-pitched "seet" indicates a predator flying overhead. The louder, familiar "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" is their alarm, used when a predator is perched or stationary, and it contains encoded information that researchers at the University of Montana decoded in a 2005 paper in Science.

The number of "dee" notes at the end of the call corresponds to the threat level of the predator, and the relationship is counterintuitive. More "dees" doesn't mean a bigger predator. It means a more dangerous one, which for a chickadee is usually a smaller, more maneuverable one.

Think of this way: a great horned owl is enormous but slow and unlikely to catch an agile small bird. A northern pygmy owl, barely larger than a sparrow, is quick enough to actually succeed.

The pygmy owl gets more "dees." In the research recordings, a pygmy owl could generate up to 23 "dee" notes. A great horned owl might get two.

The flock uses this information. When the recordings were played back through speakers, the chickadees' mobbing response, the dive-bombing and harassment behavior they use to drive off predators, scaled with the number of "dees" in the alarm. More "dees," more aggressive response.

And it's not just chickadees listening. A 2007 study in PNAS documented that red-breasted nuthatches eavesdrop on chickadee alarm calls and respond appropriately to the encoded threat level, adjusting their own behavior based on information they haven't gathered themselves.

Every "dee" is a data point if you know what to listen for.

Before the 1950s, clover was a STANDARD component of American lawns.

Seed mixes included it on purpose.

Then broadleaf herbicides were invented.

They killed clover along with "weeds." So the chemical companies rebranded clover as a weed — to sell more herbicide.

That's it. That's the whole story.

Clover is not a weed. It's the future of your lawn.

White Dutch clover (Trifolium repens):
Self-fertilizing — fixes nitrogen from the air into the soil. No fertilizer needed. EVER.

…and it feeds the grass around it for free.

Drought-resistant — stays green when grass goes brown.

Bee paradise — constant blooms from May to frost.

Chokes out weeds — dense growth shades out weed seeds.

No mowing needed (stays 4-6 inches) — or mow monthly.

Soft underfoot — kids love it.

Costs $5-10 to overseed 1,000 sq ft.

How to add clover to your existing lawn:
Overseed in spring or fall.

Scatter seed (2 oz per 1,000 sq ft).

Water lightly for 2 weeks. Done.

Stop using broadleaf herbicides (they kill clover).

Stop fertilizing (clover makes its own).

Mow at 3-4 inches.

The lawn industry told you clover was a weed so they could sell you chemicals.

Take your lawn back.

I thought I must be dreaming when I heard this WONDERFUL news:

The National Science Foundation has reversed its decision to dismantle the OOI—the vitally important ocean monitoring network—after outcry from scientists and lawmakers.

And it doesn't stop there: the NSF said they're developing plans to redeploy the Endurance Array off the coasts of Oregon and Washington, which they have just removed.

@BirdCentralPark @ValerieBlock I’m glad to hear that-was getting worried out here in California 💚

ALERT: US Coast Guard jumps onto a runaway boat and safely stops it in Maryland.

Authorities say the man operating the vessel suddenly fell overboard, and the Coast Guard had to intercept and stop the boat.

The incident has raised awareness among boat operators to wear their engine shut-off clip lanyards, which are required by federal law on most boats under 26 feet.
