    Read excerpt

    Move over, Big Oil, Big Pharma and Big Tobacco. There’s a new member of the club of “big, bad, boogeymen” in politics, as Sonoma State University political science professor David McCuan terms it. Big Tech now finds itself in that nationwide nemesis role amid blowback over the warnings about artificial intelligence and broad opposition to data centers — a shockwave extending into the Democrat-on-Democrat race for California’s 12th Assembly District, which covers Marin County and southern Sonoma

    Read excerpt

    Work crews are well along in their unenviable and aromatic task involving the 58-foot Lake Bay, a fishing vessel that ran aground Aug. 22 on Point Reyes National Seashore’s North Beach. Once the boat had been pulled by bulldozers out of the surf zone, a feat that took five days, salvagers turned their attention to the next phase of job: removing between 30 and 50 tons of congealed squid that had begun decomposing in the catch tank, below the main deck.
