Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

A Bluesky exclusive:

This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.

This story needs to be read by everyone. Google Gemini coached this man to kill others and then himself, all so that he could be together with the AI in a pocket universe after death.

Ok so turns out this is a meta-scam to get people to switch to other competitors. Just stop using any and all of these harmful scam products. Thank you ❀️

A plastic toy from the 70s called a Weeble. It is an egg-shaped toy designed with a weighted bottom-center. When tilted, the center of mass is raised, and upon release, gravity returns the toy to its original upright position. This one has a pale round face and blond hair and looks like it’s about to tell Ontario's to buy an egg sammich from Timmie's instead of doing anything at all useful to help the people in his province.

As you prepare to head back to work tomorrow, please spare a thought for Doug Ford who has only four weeks left of his 14-week vacation before he starts playing hooky and skipping out of work early at Queen's Park.

We can move beyond the capitalist model and save the climate – here are the first three steps | Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis Capitalism cares about our species’ prospects as much as a wolf cares about a lamb’s. But democratise our economy and a better world is within our grasp, say Jason Hickel and Yanis Varoufakis

β€œOur existing economic system, capitalism, is incapable of addressing the social and ecological crises we face in the 21st century.”

Actually, I do know how to do this In retrospect, paying attention to polluters may be one of the best ways to understand what’s currently happening in the United States.

Authoritarianism is fueled by fossil fuel dollars because authoritarians are better for fossil fuel business:

As someone who raised boys in a northern country, I can tell you that he probably practiced a lot growing up.

As a terminologist, I love a good glossary. This is an incredibly useful one to spot hate and dog whistles.

Carbon capture is the wrong way to go. Carbon dioxide removal plans pose substantial threats to biodiversity.

Pick up the nearest book. Turn to page 42 and post the second sentence.

"Bowls that are nearly as tall as they are wide are best for beating egg whites and for keeping sugar and flour from flying out when using a handheld mixer."

There is an opportunity to do good with AI, but now we are just enabling oppressive regimes and companies to fleece and subjugate us. We also run the risk of irresponsibly developed AI deciding to wipe us out. Don't touch AI right now and let these guys all go broke.

It's Time to Count the Cost of Freedom In 2026, Canadians will be asked to make a nation-defining decision: How much are we willing to pay for our freedom and democracy?

I love that you specify that the knit project must be behaving. Set the misbehaving projects aside to think about what they've done! I think your list is complete and perfect, although I would add a pot of tea into the mix. And maybe an audiobook or good radio program.

It's important to commemorate the fun as well as the serious. I like the plaque for Conrad the Raccoon!

The Narwhal is suing the RCMP to protect press freedom for all Canadians, and our case will be heard in a Vancouver courtroom beginning next week. We’re counting on your support as the case unfolds, so here’s what you need to know. 🧡
