Bad decision. www.military.com/daily-news/2...
Research at Opal Creek shows a new forest is growing where the fire severely damaged old-growth trees and plants. The public can soon see the recovery in real time.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) currently has fewer than three members, leaving it without a quorum. What is the NLRB, what can the Board do without a quorum, and what is the current state of NLRB caseloads? Find answers to these questions and more:
I find more shows I like on Netflix in the foreign category. Seems the good stuff is now streaming.
Thunderstorms are forecast to return to portions of our region by Tuesday into Wednesday of next week. Here are the latest lightning risk maps from the National Weather Service in Medford. Thunderstorm potential shifts east as the week progresses.
Can you comment n the orange nurse shark?
Smoke Mapping and Air Quality Update 9/1/25 6 AM The first graphic is from the HRRR smoke modeling showing the track of upper level smoke from active wildfires by this afternoon. The second image shows current air quality levels across the region.
What is it you want him to do? While you’re hanging a flag off a bridge and flapping a sign. He’s engaging with people. Grass roots is how you win. Getting out the news that Trump is robbing the military is doing something.
Thank you. I laughed long.
He’ll get sued and lose wasting more tax payer money.
snow. It’s truck and Subaru country. We say Eureka means I found it. Yreka means look for it in Medford. 2/2
You can’t rent a car in some areas of Northern California. I’m in Siskiyou County. If you need to rent you will have to do it in Redding or Oregon. We have a Tesla charging station in Mt Shasta. Pop 4000. Mostly to catch I-5 traffic. We do have Teslas here. Not practical for the No Cal ice and 1/2
We have forest service roads that aren’t being maintained. I have one about five miles away that hasn’t been done in five years. If you cut the FS budget where does the money come from to build these roads. Guess I better get on the comment train.
AI is a tool. When I use it to simplify some task I’m doing I’m good with it. Like simplifying entering data into a spread sheet. When it starts using me I’m not happy. Like selling me useless crap.
Best comment of the day. You can’t sell stuff like cars to folks without well paid jobs.
Guess Prasad doesn’t stand by what he says in the videos. Yet we’re seeing Covid vaccine being denied for his reasons. He needs to resign.
I just ordered Selena Gomez Oreos. We will see how that goes.
It’s when I’m caught talking to bug things I get the looks.
Found a video I took two years ago that captures the two different pollen-storing strategies—leaf-cutter, then bumble on the same blossom 🧡
Thanks. My retirement is partially based on PG$E burning my house down.
You might already have this book. Pretty cool study.
Problem being we would get stuck with Vance and Miller. I will celebrate when MAGA falls. Plus Trump would want a Lenin style funeral. He can’t shut up long enough to feign death.
For the Karuk people in Northern California, controlled burns are more than land management; they are a way of life.

Plead gestational diabetes.
Have my appt at CVS in ten days.
At least jack cheese will be cheaper.
Yes. My state hasn’t halted it. This headline is misleading. thehill.com/policy/healt...
Campaign for ?
Ooooo! Just got an email telling me Warren Buffet selected my name from a random internet search to receive $805,000.
Crunchy Cheetos are my martini.

When I worked in Alaska I heard some very rude jokes about Texans.
There's no shortage of stunning flatworms — both in the sea and on land. This is one of the land-dwellers, possibly the species Australopacifica splendens! 📷 commoncopper on iNaturalist 📍 New Zealand 🔗: www.inaturalist.org/observations... #ObservationOfTheDay #InverteFest
Looks like Trump is going winkytink on the data
If you can’t protect kids then maybe you shouldn’t be in business. META can’t even protect adults so maybe they should close shop. I got off META because I have no interest in underage girls in their chonnies. They absolutely don’t have protection for users. Europe has blocks that make sense.
Can you fix the health care van in Siskiyou? It was broken last Monday so no nurse meaning no bp checks etc. The alt van came out with info but we need more visits. The clinic here is only open two days a week. Pain in the ass in winter.
Really? Think about it. My town relies on the County sheriff. No police in town. The sheriff is understaffed and underfunded. More CHP would be a good thing here. Faster response to problems.

Epstein is now a distraction. Move on.
Wildfire is often thought of as being detrimental to stream ecosystems because of higher post-fire water temperatures and additional sediment washing into the waterways from burned landscapes. But Cedar Creek, east of Salem, and other streams burned in the Labor Day fires are proving otherwise.
Snapseed got dumbed down on the last update. More filters. Less edit control. It was a nice free app where you could bypass the filters. Not so much anymore.
Can we also discuss phishing letter claiming to have SSI updates? Uptick on those letters? DOGE?
This group of teenagers became the first people in 100 years to paddle all 310 miles of the newly undammed Klamath River. Read the story ⤵️ www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202... 🎥: @brontewittpenn.bsky.social
Like the kid in winter who kisses the metal lamp post then can’t get unstuck.
ICE is arresting contract firefighters on active wildfires. This is especially significant for the fire workforce in the PNW because of the heavy reliance on contract workforce. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
If ICE had real “men” they’d be fire fighters not thugs.
AMS statement finds “foundational flaws” in a recent Department of Energy climate report that are “inconsistent with scientific principles and practices.” yubanet.com/usa/american...
Thanks. I’m in the Jefferson area. Shasta County is a mess. Wouldn’t want to be dragged into their political goat custard for any reason.
When you dig into the Mississippi law it’s evident that it’s not protecting kids. The European law is narrower but not data mining children.
No worries. Following the web site. Lost the Ryan weather posts too.
Trump administration presses rollback of 'Roadless Rule' on wild lands
That’s fit. Red fir is below the alpine zone. Sorry.
The road to that area on Shasta closes between November to July due to snow, avalanches and dumb people need to stay out of there. If you are fir you can hike on the mountain in summer. There are trails. If chunky Trump thinks he can handle a 14,000 high mountain with a golf cart let him try. 😾
Smokey doesn’t play
Soviet era ag policy meets MAGA.
No worries. Anyone who has gone thru a major fire and survived gets it.
Now investigate what’s going on in Redding.
Why Trump has a pointed head.
Lockes and Hegels for breakfast.
Happy birthday Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel! To celebrate we are highlighting some related SUP books. #ReadUP #OTD
Also bogus SSI phishing emails. Check the address. Thanks DOGE.
So the Blue state gets all the money and the Gold state gets all the Trump crap.
Kids aren’t adults. Please read the details on how and why this came about.
Kinda think AI will be teaching that.
I know a couple MAGA truck drives who don’t read and can barely write.
What happens when the hurricanes hit?
Meta's new PAC, dubbed Mobilizing Economic Transformation Across California, signals an intent to influence statewide elections, including the next governor’s race in 2026.
Check out Amazon. I know they’re evil so shoo 🪰However they have small kit homes for cheap. If I looked I’m sure there are other businesses that offer these. These kit homes have plumb and elec built in. Biggest problem is the permitting costs.
So Honey Boo Boo got a job?
That’s not Northern Cali. You left off the real North. You’re six counties short of a state. And SF is Central Ca not North.
Don’t know about the big cities but my small town is seeing fewer overseas folks. A lot more visitors are camping. Cheap vacations.
Revisit Alex being tackled by Noem’s SS guard. He’s also very responsive to constituents. Replies to comments are well thought out.
Things are starting to go a little crazy across the West, after a pretty slow/weird fire season. Michael Steinberg joined me in The Lookout to talk about all sorts of fire geekery. the-lookout.org/2025/08/25/w...
I admire her for getting out there.
So his is legal but burning an American flag isn’t? How does one dispose of stinky flag underwear? I suggest turning them in to the National Guard.

I was avoiding it but okay I’ll try it. Looked like another dorky teen twit movie but so many raves. You have to try new things or your brain turns into jello and rocks.
Bad idea in bear country.
Why aren’t folks yelling states rights?
Massive volcanoes dot the Cascade Range from British Columbia into Northern California, but what about the space in between the peaks? Check out the latest Yellowstone Caldera Chronicles article written by summer EarthScope intern James Genero to find out! ⬇️ www.usgs.gov/observatorie...
I’m in Siskiyou. We have Medicine Lake but also other old volcanics like the Goosenest. Less dramatic but equally interesting.
It’s okay to put flags on your underwear though. 🤦🏻 Will there be a flag inspector to see if it’s foreign made?
There were a lot of new lightning ignitions today in California. The storms are also bringing a lot of moisture to some areas. Tonight's Lookout Livestream looked at the #FlatFire, near Sisters, Oregon, which had minimal growth between last night and noon, today. the-lookout.org/2025/08/24/f...
Look at the previous comments on this account. Remove stick from up butt.
You do realize that this is satire right?
Guide to CalFire aircraft. If you like watching the little purple aircraft on Watch Duty this is useful. Britain has train spotting. California has this. calfirehistory.com/wp-content/u...
In our small town folks leave boxes of tomatoes and zucchini on the post office bench.
Somebody needs to read these troops Lysistrata.
🍷Some days this just makes sense!
The brain body problem. My brain is in my mid thirties and my body is in wrinkle town.
“While agencies made a decision in 2024 to restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades ecosystem, there is currently not a timeline for when translocations may begin,” North Cascades National Park spokesperson Katy Hooper said by email.
Is this the Onion because this is Grade A goat custard.
I’m in the way back in California. People here don’t see these issues as substantive. They buy into the old Conservative Party line and still blame Dems for anything that goes wrong from prices to wolves. I’ve had better arguments with mules.
