Eight arrested as Europe cracks down on lucrative eel smuggling syndicates
Authorities in France and Spain have arrested six French nationals and two Spaniards who were allegedly part of a transnational syndicate that were trafficking critically endangered European eels. The suspects are accused of smuggling more than 7 million eels worth 600,000 euros ($693,000) over two years. The joint investigation began a year ago. In March […]

San Francisco's leaders say we need to act on #climate. So why does #MayorLurie propose gutting San Francisco Environment's climate team? Please tell the SF Supervisors not to do foolhardy cost-cutting - the climate work is URGENT. Here's an explainer and draft letter to send:

San Francisco could nullify its own Climate Action Plan!
The current 2-year City budget proposal mandates such drastic cuts to SF Environment Department (SFE) that 7.8 full-time-equivalent staff positions disappear in July: this is most of its climate program staff, with years of climate action expertise. At extreme risk: Planning, progress & oversight of green-house gas emissions reduction programs Building electrification programs like the Climate Equity Hub - which, partnering with CBOs, provides free electric appliances, education and outr…

Good Morning #Canada
There have been many dark days in Canada, from natural disasters to personal tragedies. And there are also emotional dark days like when Doug Ford was elected Premier.... twice.
The most mysterious darkest day in Canadian history occurred on November 7, 1819, when the sun refused to rise over New Brunswick. And it wasn't even a Monday. Although 1st person accounts described it as an unusually dreary day, later newspaper accounts were slightly more sensational. Reporters documented that a "black veil" or intense, unnatural darkness descended upon New Brunswick. The sky remained so dark that residents were forced to light candles in the middle of the day. Apparently the phenomenon caused widespread alarm with many believing it was the apocalypse or a divine awful visitation. According to newspaper reports there was mild hysteria, outright madness, and praying and searching for cover. Just like the day after Ford was elected.

In that time, I stuck with Ubuntu for a few years, then switched to CrunchBang (#!)
