Hurricane Isaías has lost symmetry on final approach to near Destin, Florida. Wind shear aloft has (finally) kicked in over the last 3-4 hours and is weakening it. The last two recon passes through the eye show lowering windspeeds. It'll end up a high Cat 2 at landfall around 9 pm. Still impactful!

My good friend, and fellow Diné journalist, Alastair Bitsoi wrote this. He's not a full-time writer, he's a jack-of-all-trades and master of many, so when he does publish something it's definitely a gift. His way of writing is like poetry, and gives deep insight that you won't find anywhere else.

Veterinary students at the University of Georgia learned to care for honeybees, which are vital pollinators for U.S. agriculture. Between 2024 and 2025 more than half of the managed colonies in the U.S. have been lost. nyti.ms/45Knh00

I wrote this in May 2025. With reports of Trump ready to shrink Bears Ears National Monument as soon as tomorrow, I thought I’d repost this. I’ll have an update tomorrow or Tuesday of what transpires.

I knew municipal utilities generally provide lower electricity prices than investor-owned monopoly utilities, but I had no idea the difference was *this stark* in California. No wonder CA electeds are pushing to make municipalization easier and cheaper. energyathaas.wordpress.com/2026/03/09/t...
