At Toronto Pearson Airport, a dedicated team from Falcon Environmental uses a unique approach to keep the skies clear, featuring their star employee, Ivan the bald eagle. The Weather Network's Mark Robinson spoke to the experts about how they use falconry to protect both passengers and wildlife.
I choose to believe that one day Billy Bob Thornton and Luke Wilson will come to actual blows as their weird AT&T-Verizon ad feud spirals out of control.

Absolute carnage in the family group chat as my cousin posts a Christmas riddle from her fiancé’s office that no one can figure out, only to find that someone in the office got ChatGPT to make up the riddle and it’s gibberish that doesn’t have a solution
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful. Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened. This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Fun fact - the NJ Turnpike extension through downtown Jersey City roughly follows the path of the now-underground Mill Creek. Imagine if we ripped out the highway and restored the creek…
Melissa & Chris Bruntlett@modacitylife.com · 12mo agoEvery bold urban transformation asks a question: what will people remember—the controversy or legacy? Showing great leadership, Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak bet on the latter, replacing a motorway with a waterway. Two decades later, absolutely no one regrets the decision or remembers the controversy.
Tim Walz: "I'll tell you what doesn't make people feel safe -- a tank next to Chipotle. It's stupid and it's for the cameras ... where are the 'don't tread on me' people?"
This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

What if scientists hadn’t waited until this point to speak about politics Every time I see a headline like this, my brain just shouts Like what if scientists hadn’t sat around silently watching everyone around them get attacked Maybe the fight on campus would have gone differently

From 2020 to 2022 COVID vaccines prevented over 18.5 million hospitalizations, 3.2 million deaths and saved the US $1.15 trillion. mRNA vaccines and treatments are being developed for diabetes, HIV, cancer, and more. Imagine how many more lives we could save if we don't defund science.

The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · last yr.Some CDC staff say that they have long feared the day that escalating animosity toward the agency would culminate in actual violence, @landmanspeaking.bsky.social reports:
When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.
