History on the Oregon law here, passed in 3 B.W. (before whale).

While California has public beaches, they have private beaches as well. In Oregon the entire coastline is public.

Looks like WA is the same, public/private mix.
My favorite part of the video is the little old lady voice going “Here come pieces of… whale!”
“I’m the 8 ton whale that washed up on your beach and when the local highway department tries to make me go away with 1/2 ton of TNT, your cut rate insurance might not cover a 700 pound slab of me trashing your passenger compartment.”
Cue Farmers… “We’ve seen a lot of things…”
Oh, man, have I got a story for you…
If that link doesn’t work… In 1970 an 8 ton dead gray whale washed up on the beach in Florence.
Now, in Oregon, all the beaches are public beaches, under the control of the highway department, and they didn’t know how to remove a dead whale.
So they packed it with 1/2 a ton of dynamite and blew it up thinking the seagulls and crabs would eat the bits remaining.
3·7 days agoVery good, very ADULT graphic novel called “Somna” by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay about a woman married to a witch hunter who starts having sexy dreams about the Devil.

It won the Eisner Award in 2024 for best new series which is kind of like the Grammy Awards for comics.

9·9 days agoIs it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of “Meh”.
Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it’s worth playing.

Why are they smiling?

I always suggest Little Fuzzy. Light, breezy, early 1960s science fiction and public domain:
6·16 days agoEach story is pretty much self contained, there is a certain progression from one to the next, but they were each written and published independently, then collected together as “The Gunslinger”.
The rest of the books are actual novels.
Book 2 starts right where the last story in the Gunslinger ends and it’s off to the races!
The important thing to remember is that the first book was written as separate short stories. It was never intended as a novel, novel. I think a lot of people have trouble with it because of that. Don’t think of them as chapters in a book, think of them as separate stories.
Little Sisters of Eluria fits in here as well, also a separate story.
First time I read it I hit “And they never saw Stu Redman again.” I was f’ing BROKEN.
But good news, friend, you’re ready for the Dark Tower books. :)
1·16 days ago“The group is urging Oregon’s Congressional delegation—made up of six representatives and two senators—to sponsor a bill that would significantly limit President Donald Trump’s ability to send weapons to Israel.”
Found the people who don’t know how the House and Senate work.
Oregon’s congressional delegation is 7 Democrats and 1 Republican. Democrats have ZERO ability to present bills in the House as it is controlled by Republicans.
This is just another “Well, we TRIED!” feel good measure with no potential to impact anything.
Oh, it’s real!
Saw it, never knew what to call them. Ursula was just, you know, Ursula.
Nah, I had seen it before.
IIRC, paleontologists LOVE the Thagomizer.
