Some good news out of LA...
Officer video raises questions about ICE shooting of TikTok streamer - Los Angeles Times
> Days before Carlitos Ricardo Parias was set to to go on trial for assault on a federal officer, a federal judge dismissed the case against him. The judge cited the deprivation of Parias' access to counsel while held in ICE detention and the government's failure to comply with discovery deadlines.

I caught up with this amazing science study published this month. When the UCLA campus in Southern California closed during the peak of the covid pandemic, the beaks of dark-eyed juncos (birds) on campus shifted to be more like the non-urban wild birds. Then, in the years afterwards, the birds shifted back to pre-covid urban beaks. It's microevolution caught in action.
Pam Yeh, the professor involved in the study, has been carefully studying junco evolution since grad school, and so was ideally placed to spot this subtle evolutionary shift.

‘Why do Australian homeowners get rooftop solar installed in a week or less, for roughly 50 cents a watt, while Californians pay $3.30/watt and wait months for interconnection?’
