Carla is a class act and the LAT is worse off because we're losing her, along with dozens of others who accepted a buy out this week. I'm still here, and will continue reporting without fear or favor, no matter circumstances outside or inside the newsroom. www.cjr.org/business_of_...

Want to make progress on climate? Annoy your friends and family. Talk about climate.

The Environmental Protection Agency wants to postpone a long-awaited pollution reduction plan for Yosemite, Sequoia & other California national parks.

I still receive wedding invitations addressed to Mr. and Mrs. MY HUSBAND'S NAME. It's 2025! I never changed my name and even if I did, I wish it was the norm to ask first & include both names. This is my complaint for the day! @peterhartlaub.bsky.social www.sfchronicle.com/totalsf/arti...

Lol: "Dorsey doesn’t own any stocks or investments and is a renter. He disclosed three gifts totaling $835...Dorsey said he is 'conscientious' about disclosing gifts but “honestly, I think to avoid paperwork I sometimes will avoid events.” / @sfchronicle.com www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/f...

I love pie. So much, that I made it my New Year's resolution to bake one every month. The thing is, I love to bake, but pies? The crust, the filling...it all intimidates me. So, I'm on a journey of progress, not perfection, to fill my life with a little more pie sweetness. Follow along!
