  • After a successful inaugural year California Public Radio Day is returning on August 26 with 30 stations coming together to commemorate the day. In the single day celebration aimed at creating awareness for the vital public service public radio brings to the community, stations across the state, from San Diego to Arcata, will collectively encourage listeners to support their local stations.
  • Monday, San Diego County restaurants, gyms, salons and other businesses are allowed to reopen for indoor operations — with restrictions. But some business owners said they cannot survive on the severely limited capacity required. Also, one-fifth of San Diego students returning to virtual school this month are English Language Learners -- and that makes distanced-learning all the more difficult. Plus, a state law that went into effect a year ago requires police departments to release videos within 45 days every time an officer fires his or her weapon or uses force that causes great bodily injury. But the law is limited -- it doesn't say "all the video," instead it says "a video or audio recording."

But that movement for change has sparked a backlash, a counter-petition. It labels Black Lives Matter a “highly political Marxist organization with views that are rightfully alarming to anyone who believes in family, the Constitution, and civil society.”
  • A stretch of high temperatures in the 80s and 90s for San Diego is not that unusual in August - but with humidities also near 80-percent? That is not typical San Diego weather. However, it might be something we’re going to have to get used to. The heat and humidity we’ve been experiencing for the past two weeks can be traced back to changes in the earth’s climate - and those uncomfortable conditions could become more frequent in the coming years.
  • 2021 was filled with tremendous loss, from staggering COVID deaths to those of leading writers such as Joan Didion and bell hooks to a longtime abortion activist and politicians who shaped our world.
