Going Down Memory Lane with Kopi Sotiropulos  

A dispute erupted after the San Joaquin River Parkway Trust used human compost at Sumner Peck Ranch, triggering cease‑and‑desist letters from both Fresno County and the San Joaquin River Conservancy, which argue the practice may violate state law and endanger public land. The trust says the compost is safe and legal, while Supervisor Garry Bredefeld blasted the move as “breathtaking stupidity” and a waste of taxpayer resources.

Human Compost Controversy Erupts Into Multi‑Agency Fight Along San Joaquin River 

Sen. Tim Sheehy Ejecting Anti-War Protester 

A longtime Lowell High School math teacher in San Francisco has been placed on indefinite leave after parents reported sexist and fat‑shaming questions on ninth‑grade Algebra quizzes, including problems about the cost of a date based on a girl’s weight and a scenario titled “Mr. Chan vs. The Fat Kid.” The district says it’s actively investigating, while some students described the teacher’s style as misguided “dad jokes,” and others say similar content appeared in past classes. 

Sen. Tim Sheehy helped Capitol Police forcibly remove anti‑war protester Brian McGinnis from a Senate hearing after McGinnis interrupted proceedings and struggled with officers.  McGinnis later claimed his arm was broken, while police accused him of violently resisting arrest and charged him with multiple offenses.
