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.” latimes.com/california/newsl…

We love P-22. We also sealed his fate (whatever that will be)

Famed mountain lion P-22 survived this long despite us. His story could save his local kin.

Election Day is Tuesday—but don't wait until then to vote, especially since it's going to rain. Avoid the lines & the rain. Drop off your ballot any time through Tue night. Three dropoff locations in our city: WeHo Library, City Hall, & Plummer Park. INFO: bit.ly/3Te0FfH

Incredibly troubling video showing the breakdown in civility in Santa Monica this election season with attorney Kevin Shenkman (the tall guy) who is hoping to get very rich off of a new City Council who he hopes will settle with him: youtu.be/Ej-maK6eWkg via @YouTube – at Santa Monica, CA
Armen hides behind Shenkman

Alaska's snow crab season has been canceled for the first time in the state's history. An estimated 1 billion crabs have mysteriously disappeared, which is a 90% drop in their population. This is a major blow to America's seafood industry and could cost the economy $200 million.

I think I am just going to sit here until 2025 and watch the Wallis Annenberg Wildlife Crossing construction. 😀 I hope the mountain lions and wildlife knows this means we are making a safer world for them.

California, your efforts to use less #energy are essential to preventing rotating #poweroutages this evening. •Setting thermostats to 78 degrees, if health permits •Unplugging unused electronic devices •Turning off unnecessary lights

“Heat is one of the greatest injustices facing California, yet we have...piecemeal actions." @VKellyTurner @LuskinCenter #UCLALuskin Need to do more, writes @tonybarboza @latimes. Need more heat leaders like @LuzRivas @AsmEGarciaAD56 @RichardBloom. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…

Editorial: Dangerous heat is broiling California. But lawmakers still aren't doing enough

California is experiencing the most dangerous heat wave of the year, but efforts by state lawmakers to protect residents from these climate-fueled disasters seem to have largely fizzled out.

Rep. Mike Garcia's recent comments evoking Nazis and the Third Reich are reprehensible. Anyone using Nazi analogies to make political points cheapens the events of the Holocaust and insults the memories of the millions killed by the Nazis.

The biggest scandal in American political history. And that’s saying a lot. Jaw dropping. Sickening. Infuriating.
