Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:21 GMT

Between the genitalia jokes, bountiful swear words and off-color comments about “your mom,” Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus got serious wit the massive crowd at the SAP Center in San Jose as he talked about his battle with cancer and how thrilled he was to be back up onstage again.“It means so (expletive) much to me that all of you are here,” said the vocalist-bassist, who underwent chemotherapy and is reportedly now cancer free. “This next song is about finding light in the darkness and it goes out to every single person here tonight. I love you.”The pop-punk trio — which also includes vocalist-guitarist Tom DeLonge and phenomenal drummer Travis Barker — then launched into “Adam’s Song,” with its lyrics addressing depression and suicidal thoughts taking on new meaning in the context of what Hoppus had just told the crowd.“Tomorrow holds such better days,” Hoppus sang. “Days when I can still feel alive...

Bee-killing pesticides, common in gardening products, could face new limits in California

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:40:21 GMT

It’s now clear that our decades-long love affair with pesticides is contributing to the worldwide collapse of bee colonies, with ramifications for all plants and animals — including us — that depend on these mighty pollinators. So a law that kicks in Jan. 1 will prevent California farmers from using a category of pesticides known as neonics, which have been particularly linked to bee harm, at times when the insects are most likely to be foraging for food.But while recent research increasingly links neonics both to broader ecosystem problems and to serious health conditions in humans, the new state regulations focus only on protections for bees.There also are no rules, so far, limiting the use of neonics on ornamental plants or grass around California homes, businesses or parks, or in products such as pet flea medicines. Instead, while some manufacturers and retailers are heeding to these growing concerns and voluntarily pivoting away from neonics, the insecticide remains common in p...
