Media & police commonly report that β€œspeed wasn’t a factor in a crash.” What they mean is the driver wasn’t technically breaking the speed limit, or at least not too much.

But speed is ALWAYS a factor, in how much distance is needed to stop, how well crash victims can be seen, and whether they die.

Absolutely horrific.

Canada’s massive border bill, C12, has been adopted after third reading at Senate.

C-12 will become the country's largest machinery of deportation: deporting refugees without hearings, retroactive bars, and mass status cancellation.

A mirror of anti-migrant ICE violence.

Iran was nowhere close to a nuclear bomb, experts say Although President Trump has claimed Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, much more work was needed for the country to do so

No surprise, Trump is lying.

Adapted from Axelsson et al. 2013 Fig 2c: Histogram showing the distribution of diploid amylase copy number in wolf (n=35, blue) and dog (n=136, red). Dogs carry more copies of the starch-digesting gene AMY2B than wolves. Additional copies make dogs better than wolves at digesting starchy foods like grains & vegetables.

Dogs evolved to eat your leftovers! Comparing dog & wolf genomes revealed dogs have up to 30 EXTRA copies of the amylase gene (AMY2B) that helps digest starch. This is a key genomic signature of living alongside humans & table scraps for thousands of years πŸ• www.nature.com/articles/nat... #2026MMM

The textile industry produced more emissions than international aviation and shipping combined.

Border carbon taxes are not merely necessary to reduce those emissions, but also for re-shoring domestic manufacturing jobs, and reducing the waste associated with this out of control industry.

The cost of my reporting stared me in the face last week, when two Nazis showed up to try to intimidate me for my journalism on a private night out.

But that’s far from the only fallout of my latest investigation.

I took a few days, watching the reaction -- and now I’ve got much more to share:

Sweden is stepping up the shadow fleet game with another violent boarding of a stateless tanker, last one less than a week ago.

Minister Bohlin surely does not sound like this is the last of it.

Previous boarding has led to detention of vessel CAFFA and charges against crew.
