Castreau did spend many years on the Left coast, which partially explains things.

There must be something in the water or not in the water out there.

This news created quite a buzz!

Bumblebees wrote in their twitter bio that they are fish, so they are.

I think it was Arkansas (maybe Louisiana?) where they have a trigger law (that they're already enforcing apparently) where a woman has to carry an ectopic pregnancy to term.
If we're talking about stupid laws.

I think that the "best" attempt to pass a stupid law was the Indiana Pi Bill. 
How anyone, even a politician, could believe that mathematical identities are subject to legislative fiat is beyond mortal ken.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

It will come as a surprise to precisely nobody that the actual story isn't quite as moronic as the headline makes it sound. 
Quote: Under CESA, "endangered species" can be birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals, or fish. Insects like bees do not make the cut, under this definition.
However, the judges interpreted that it was "ambiguous" whether the legislature intended for the definition of fish to apply only to aquatic species.

Quote: "Today’s decision confirms that California Endangered Species Act protections apply to all of our state’s imperiled native species and is critical to protecting our state’s renown biodiversity."
So instead of encouraging the CESA to expand its list of species that could be endangered to include insects necessary to our survival the court decided to use some convoluted legal rationalizations to include them. I wouldn't expect anything different from California.
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

It's stupid to do it that way instead of the proper way, but of course 80% of what programmers do is the same thing: actually solve the root issue? Nah, let's work around it with another layer of wrappers.

Which would be the correct solution, but could potentially take years to do.

To include them now.
They probably considered that getting the added protections in place quickly via "convoluted" means was better than waiting years for the "right" solution to kick in.

And it sets a dangerous legal precedent, opening the door to misuse in future cases with un-forseen negative consequences.

An oldie but I like it
Upper class rejecting two prizes (3,6)

I know the answer, but I can't work out why "rejecting two prizes" - even back in 2006 I had no idea why...

Not sure that would be fair - I remember the answer from the first time I saw it, and I posted one this week anyway!

What is the solution?
Gin reject?
Please explain. Knowledgeable people see to be having a conversation among themselves, rejecting the common public.
