Hard as it might be to imagine now, a majestic tree once stood on this forlorn strip of concrete wedged between Commercial Street and the 101 Freeway. The sycamore tree was over sixty feet tall and visible for miles around: https://t.co/IfXI9vWlV7 pic.twitter.com/sfItVwmpZU

This is the kind of public space the U.S. has been most invested in building over the last half century. Not great parks. Or great waterfronts. Spaces that disperse people, rather than bring them together. (This, and well, stadiums, to be fair) pic.twitter.com/OSR91WCoPF

This is a mind-boggling story. The fossil fuel industry hired hundreds of actors to pretend they were citizens and testify at pubic hearings against renewable energy. And it worked.https://t.co/rSuPmMcWJY

Norwegian Wood: Chopping, Stacking, and Drying Wood the Scandinavian Way. The latest Scandinavian publishing phenomenon is not a Stieg Larsson–like thriller; it’s a book about chopping, stacking, and burning wood that has sold more than 200,000 copies in Norway and Sweden and has been a fixture on the bestseller lists there for more than a year. Norwegian Wood provides useful advice on the rustic hows and whys of taking care of your heating needs, but it’s also a thoughtful attempt to understand man’s age-old predilection for stacking wood and passion for open fires.
Wow, some especially fab articles this week. I immediately sent the “unuseless” article to my otter half, and made a list of the self-propagating plants. Having mint and oregano take over the yard sound like a Good Thing to me.
And the mind really does boggle at the idea of paying actors to influence politics on that kind of scale and level. It’s so breathtakingly dishonest.
