Three people were found dead on Mt. Baldy on Monday,
days after a winter storm blanketed the peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains with snow.
At around 11:30 a.m., search and rescue teams responded to a request to find an injured man, 19,
who had fallen 500 feet while hiking near Devil’s Backbone,
a sharp ridge flanked by steep drops that leads to the summit,
the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.

All worry is laid to waste.
The endorphins rushing wild from the freezing water,
the music pounding through my body,
the caffeine,
the fucking ducks and the God-roiling sky
– no what-ifs,
no yeah-buts,
no what-abouts, 
no caveats, at all.
I am made happy,
and that happiness is entire and incontestable.
And all the way home, I go
— to my beautiful waking wife
– on this, the best day ever.
Love, Nick Cave

But while they’re focusing on fueling Twitter battles and unleashing right-wing bots,
I’m focused on securing a better future for every Minnesotan.

and folks like Elon and Mike are going to be watching …

with intense sympathy for their struggle.
In Germany in particular, Trump’s actions vividly bring to mind Hitler, the Second World War and the Holocaust.

Not the first thought that comes to mind, but this is an #environmental problem, not just about skiing or a local economy:
"Ropes once used to mark out the piste hang in tatters and bits of plastic are falling off a pylon. The old sheds at each end of the ski lifts often still contain transformers, asbestos, motor oils and greases. Over time, these substances seep into the soil and…
