No Kings - Los Feliz
Saturday, June 14th, 2025 02:54 pmgwynnegaSo glad I went to the No Kings protest in Los Feliz (a couple of blocks away from Skylight Books). I'd gone to Glendale for the April protest and had seen photos of that Los Feliz protest, which looked fairly sedate. Today it was huge, festive and joyous. Friends of mine were there, but it was too massive to spot any of them. Lots of great signs, lots of "ICE GO HOME!" chanting. L.A. at its best.
I stayed about an hour, and would have liked to stay until the end, but I was getting too much sun. It did me a world of good to be there.

GILES: Quite extraordinary really.
BUFFYBOT: Thank you. But I really think we should be listening to the other Buffy, Guy-les. She's very smart and she's gonna help us save Spike.
GILES: Guy-les? Spike didn't even bother to program my name properly.
BUFFY: Listen, skirt girl, we are not going to save him. We're going to kill him. He knows who the key is, and there's no way he's not telling Glory.
BUFFYBOT: You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really.
BUFFY: Okay, guys, split up and spread out. Check the priciest-looking places first. Xander, you come with me. Willow, Anya, stick together, and Guy-les... Giles-you can watch... it.

Saturday, June 14th, 2025 03:10 pmysabetwordsmithFrench Polynesia created the world’s largest marine protected area
At the U.N. Ocean Conference this week, French Polynesia announced the creation of the world’s largest marine protected area, covering nearly 5 million square kilometers, or over 1.9 million square miles. It also plans to add another 500,000 square kilometers by next World Ocean Day.
Of that area, 1.1 million square kilometers (424,712 square miles) will be designated as highly or fully protected, meaning only traditional coastal fishing, ecotourism, and scientific research are allowed.
It's a step forward, but my standard of FULLY protected means "humans don't go there." That's what is required for many edge-sensitive and disturbance-sensitive species. On land, if there is so much as a road through it, those species will avoid the area even if there are no vehicles using the road most of the time.
