I thought Newsom's approach is/was wise. Rep Lee's current opponents for the Senate Seat are Rep Adam Schiff and Rep Katie Porter, both of whom are popular. Lee seemed to be pressuring Newsom to select her to give her a leg up on next year's campaign. it would've been a tacit endorsement and...

Governor Newsom previously had said that if Senator Feinstein's seat were to become vacant, he would not appoint any of the already-declared pretenders (see attached). Doing so would be tacit endorsement of one of three Democratic party hopefuls and he doesn't want to do that before California...

If some of the newer methods bother you -- human composting, alkaline hydrolysis -- then perhaps a green burial, if your state allows them. Cremation may not the most environmentally friendly option. https://www.greenburialcou...

If some of the modern methods -- human composting, alkaline hydrolysis -- do not appeal, what about a good, old-fashioned "green burial" (if your state accommodates them). I believe they are less environmentally impactful than cremation. https://www.greenburialcou...

Some people hover on social media to hear what others think and/or say. Sometimes it's because they don't consider their own opinion important enough to share or they might have had bad experiences elsewhere and feel fear. I personally believe there are worse things.

Excellent article -- better than the "I support Trump no matter what" kind -- it gives hope people can change. "There were so many things they had not learned, and perhaps would never learn....[they] understand that they could not recover or reconstruct the lost opportunities of their childhoods."
