Kasia Pawlowska: 5 Bay Area news outlets go dark after CEO retires. "Residents in all corners of #Napa County were dealt a heavy blow recently when not one, but four, news sources went dark at the end of May. A fifth, Conéctate, has been on hiatus since December."

Monterey Bay Aquarium’s new CEO Jenny Gray (only the 2nd top exec since MBA established in 1984) was working on a master’s in #transportation engineering when she first visited MBA in 1989. She has a doctorate in #ethics, focused on issues involving #wildlife

From interview by Paul Rogers, published 6/6/26:

What can be improved upon at the Monterey Bay Aquarium? "They are world leaders here for a good reason. They’re incredible. There won’t be Earth-shattering changes. Nothing’s broken here. In fact, the exact opposite.”

The major challenge facing the world’s #oceans right now? “The big threats are #pollution — whether that’s #plastic or other pollution — and #ClimateChange, and over-#exploitation of the #ocean itself.”

As a charter member who had to drop membership as prices climbed, we also appreciated his question about admission cost. https://www.mercurynews.com/2026/06/06/new-leader-takes-the-helm-at-the-monterey-bay-aquarium/?share=lw6tehdtor6tt2i6aatb

While walking through San Carlos on my way to Belmont Caltrain, I encountered a fence blocking the roadway where San Carlos's Chestnut Street becomes Belmont's Sunnyslope Avenue. ¿Is there a ban on travel between the two cities except at approved checkpoints?

No!! I love that pier! Not for fishing, of course, but for the awesome pictures it provides.

This is a hail-mary, but do any of you in the #SFBAYArea have a j2534 passthru device (for programming automotive systems, ideally Mercedes) that you'd let me borrow/rent? I'm in #oakland.
