Today, people are elevating their outdoor life to master backyarder status. “For Master Backyarders, living and working outdoors is an integral part of everyday life,” explains Kris Kiser, president & CEO of the TurfMutt Found...
By Paul Hetzler Given that our planet-wide warming trend is to a large degree a result of excess carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air, my initial plan to help lower CO2 levels was to stop exhaling. That turned out to be a short-term solution. We need to take carbon from the air and stow it for a long time, preferably hundreds of years. Perhaps the best-known means of doing this is afforestation, planting new forests on terrain such as former strip-mines or steep, overgrazed land. It can also take the form of increasing the density of our urban...

Continued from last week And they say that because this young woman had lost her life giving birth, that there was a great force emitting from her in all directions, this life-giving force, and as the soil touched her, that it was kind of like a chain reaction. This great life-giving force went in all directions. Wherever the soil was touching it, that life force went. And, they say, right away all of that vegetation started to grow all the more. So as –I guess- a gift to her daughter, the grandmother (some of the things that she had brought f...

By Isaac White. Recently, Snapchat added My AI, which uses ChatGPT, as an option within its service. Despite the fact that it is presently only offered to the platform’s 2 million paying subscribers, most following this development believe it is not unreasonable to believe that the intention will be to eventually make the service accessible to all 750 million of its users. Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel was quoted saying, “The big idea is that in addition to talking to our friends and family every day, we’re going to talk to AI every day, and this...
Washington, DC – The Biden administration approved the ConocoPhillip’s Willow Project earlier this week, a 30-year oil and gas development proposal on public lands in Alaska. This is the second time the Bureau of Land Management has approved the Willow project. The Trump administration first approved the project in 2020. Conservation and Alaska Native groups challenged the approval, and the court threw it out as unlawful in 2021. It instructed BLM to reassess the project’s full climate impacts and consider alternatives that would lessen its o...

Bethany Mandel, a pundit for conservative media outlets, co-authored a book on what she calls the “present woke indoctrination” that is said to be occurring across the country. But, she was unable to provide a definition for the term that was at the very core of the discussion.

By Isaac White This week I’ve chosen a mini-series that I’ve been looking forward to viewing since it was released. I just hadn’t taken the series off the metaphorical shelf to watch until a week ago. Now I will warn everyone reading this that the show I’m reviewing stirred up some very serious emotions for me and if my writing comes across as somewhat serious in tone that’s because it is. For a little bit of snarky fun, I will talk about a viewing option that you should avoid, and that show is Midnight Club. It’s supposed to be a horror/thri...
