Folks from the Women's March have been arrested at the Capitol for protesting ICE. Shout out to the women who are putting their lives and livelihoods on the line to get their message out: ABOLISH ICE.
Canada’s treatment of violent insurrection is the opposite of US treatment. A “Freedom Convoy“ leader was found guilty and sentenced, BUT Canada just won an appeal saying his punishment was not sufficient. It can be done! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... ❤️ @comoxtips.bsky.social #jan6

The USA is now ruled by an explicitly evangelical Christian regime. Here in Canada, we must be on guard. Poilievre, Jivani, and their #MapleMAGA allies want exactly the same for us.

Welcome to the CAMBRIAN FECAL REVOLUTION. We didn't name it the Cambrian fecal explosion for obvious reasons. I'm happy to share this paper on fecal matter and its role in Cambrian ecosystems. So if you want to read a really shitty paper (50 days free access): authors.elsevier.com/a/1nYg8cZ3X7...
RFKJr claims Lyme disease was created by scientists,which is the closest he’s come to admitting that science exists. Meanwhile, Ötzi the Iceman, who died more than 5.3K years ago, had Lyme disease. Apparently prehistoric humans are part of the conspiracy. Get me off this timeline
Thank you to Mexico & Australia for sending your fire fighters to aid us when our closest physical ally threatens to fine or tariff Canada even as smoke from Washington & Oregon blow into BC. We send fire crews & our Super Soaker water bombers when the USA is on fire. TACO issues threats. Sad...

Breaking News! Code Bonkers! As of August 3rd, Nino 3.4 has crossed 2.5°C above the 1991-2020 baseline. The Climate Casino predicted August 1st for this crossing and now has a lot of fake-bets to pay out. Was the fix in? Next up, 3.0°C by August 21st.
Why Elon and US auto manufacturers don't want to compete with Chinese EVs.
We look at pigeons and call them dirty. We look at sharks and call them dangerous. But maybe the problem isn’t them. Maybe it’s the way we see them. Every creature on this planet is trying to survive. Every animal has a place in the story of life — including the ones we misunderstand.

Interesting science - extrapolating age from length is difficult in long-lived fish. I get anxious thinking about legal harvest of fish far older than the U.S. Imagine remembering when Shakespeare wrote Macbeth in the early 1600s. 😬🐟🧪
These Great Lakes fish may live more than 400 years, making them nearly as old as Greenland sharks
Lake sturgeon were already called living fossils, but new research reveals female sturgeon in some populations could survive more than four centuries, upending decades of assumptions.

My mom and grandma told me about this. It happened in Los Angeles. The last streetcar ran in 1963.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
There's too many gadgets in new cars these days. I just wanted to reverse out of my driveway but it's showing me a video of someone getting run over.
When enough rain falls in Maltahöhe, Namibia, millions of desert lilies bloom across the landscape for just a few days each year. This natural phenomenon briefly transforms the arid desert into a sea of flowers almost overnight. IG: @ earthpix
The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.
Our oceans are boiling 🔥 The developing super El Niño combined with vast swathes of the oceans being above average or experiencing marine heatwaves has led to average SST’s being at record high levels. The planet continues to show us that we are changing the climate.
