Blind Burmese man died after Border Patrol agents dropped him off miles from home and in the cold. He spoke virtually no English. After a 5 day search, he was found dead a few miles away from where he'd been released. His family received no notification he had been dropped off. #sheshed
Now you'll feel like a desperado...probably hiding under some eaves somewhere, listening to Mohammed's radio.

I guess it was inevitable with the rise of social media and the splintering and undermining of traditional media. They used to get a lot of flak for bad science reporting, with some exceptions.
To point out the obvious, it also shows how badly served people are by secondary school science classes.
A few trees for you.
Local parents texting to say they’re staying home from trick or treating tonight after a US citizen got arrested a few blocks away this morning. Truly unbelievable that we now live like this
👍
Four years ago this week China’s government released me from 1,019 days of wrongful detention as a political hostage. If not for heroic advocacy and diplomacy, I might still be in a cell there, with the crisis unresolved. I'm eternally grateful for my liberty. 🧵

One of our greatest Canadians. Rest in peace.
It's very sad to hear this. He played tennis at our local court once, which was our ice rink in winter, of course. He gave out autographs, but mine is long gone. Other players from the Canadiens would show up and play frontier to time. Somehow, I missed them.
Can he count?
My research (1) keeps track of what science papers creationists pay attention to (currently just over 8200) and (2) the much larger field (26,000 plus so far) that clarifies how they're misrepresenting what facts they did bump into (sort of).
I've concluded that they are simply willfully being ignorant. They just want to cling to their beliefs regardless of evidence. They have made it so important to them that they can not do otherwise.
God is about them - anything else is unbearable. Such a shame and waste of potential.
I wish that too, but it won't happen.
You found fern glen!
My friend tells a great story about having the bejesus scared out of him by one of these while he was checking out a campsite. Complete with flapping arms and scarifying sounds. Hilarious to watch!
This one wouldn't move out of the way for our truck and tralier a couple of years ago.

Oh, this isn't where you were. Just sharing views!
This is Kennedy Lake on the way to Tofino. They rebuilt this part of the highway and put in this viewpoint.
It's a long way down for a man standing on a precipice overlooking a lake.
I had the best view in the house.
I find buried nuts in the yard here often. Recently, I heard that they forget the location of half of their buried treasure!
Things that go together.
Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people.
