Opinion: “The Hot Tub Mountain Lion” was curious and confused not sinister and stalking

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 18:11:57 GMT

First there was “Cocaine Bear,” and now we have Hot Tub Mountain Lion.A Colorado mountain lion made national headlines after surprising a vacationing couple Saturday night as they soaked in a hot springs pool in Chaffee County, as reported in The Denver Post and news outlets across the nation.Some of the stories, including the Washington Post, cast the mountain lion as a sinister “intruder.” He was a dark figure who “snuck up” and “attacked” the humans. It’s not that dissimilar to the awful movie about a savage bear going around killing people.But was he, and did he? Or she? The mountain lion I mean, not the imaginary stoned bear.It happened at about 8 p.m., as cougars actively hunt deer and elk from dusk to dawn, in a quiet subdivision west of Nathrop —a tree-lined canyon beneath 14,000-foot Collegiate Peaks. There were plenty of deer and a creek where the lion had been, all of which flips the aged script that the predator was out of place, stalking humans. It’s much more likely th...

Job growth slows sharply in Bay Area and California amid tech layoffs

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 18:11:57 GMT

San Jose skyline, seen in 2021. (George Avalos/Bay Area News Group)The pace of job growth slowed sharply in the Bay Area and California in February, government officials disclosed Friday in a disquieting report that arrives on the heels of several months of widening tech and biotech layoffs.The Bay Area added 6,500 jobs in February, but those gains represented a drastic slowdown from the increase of 19,000 jobs in January, a report posted on the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics website shows.California, in a similar pattern, gained 32,300 jobs in February, but that was far fewer than the 67,600 jobs added statewide in January, according to the federal labor agency’s report. All of the numbers statewide and in the Bay Area were adjusted for seasonal volatility.The statewide unemployment rate worsened in February to 4.3%, up from 4.2% in January.

Meet the titan of beer-brewing broadcasting, coming to you live from a Concord taproom

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 18:11:57 GMT

Justin Crossley’s rise to beer-media stardom at the Brewing Network began almost two decades ago with a gift from a girlfriend: a homebrewing kit he didn’t know how to use.“Living in the Bay Area, I realized I was surrounded by brewers,” he recalls. “And if I could ask them all my dumb questions and record the answers, I’d be helping homebrewers out.”Having studied broadcasting in college, Crossley set up an online-streaming station in his Pacheco garage. He staffed it with beer-loving buds – a dentist who knew the science of brewing, a funny-sidekick homebrewer, his girlfriend who had the “added advantage of being German” – and started taking calls.“On our first show in June 2005, we had so many listeners tuning in live that we crashed my servers,” he says.Today, the Brewing Network is a titan in the beer-broadcasting world. From its studio inside Concord’s Hop Grenade taproom, the network produces podcasts, live-streaming radio and video content about home ...

Is Mexico safe for U.S. travelers?

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 18:11:57 GMT

By Nikki Ekstein | BloombergWhen the US Department of State released a spring break travel advisory on March 13 warning travelers to take extra caution when visiting Mexico, the message rippled far, wide and fast. Broadcast news disseminated scary stories of illegal drugs and gang crime as reasons to reconsider vacation plans—most tragically, the early March kidnapping of four American medical tourists in Matamoros, on the Texas border, two of whom were found dead.“It’s like clockwork,” says Zachary Rabinor, the American founder of travel agency Journey Mexico. “Every year preceding spring break we get the same wave of sensationalism. People need eyeballs, and what better way than fearmongering? In some ways it’s the clearest sign yet that we’re done worrying about the pandemic.”In reality, he says, no new travel advisories to Mexico have been issued by the State Department since last October, in which the updates to the existing warning related to additional public-health informati...
