@AlexUsherHESA I feel seen.

Not to be alarmist but…this is what’s called a six-sigma event, now unfolding in Antarctica.

Otherwise known as a once-in-7.5-million-year event.

Hang onto your hats.

Shadows aren’t terrible. Strategic placement and narrowness of towers matters. This rendering gives a better feel for the carefulness of the building placement in the site plan. Detailed analysis is available in the application.

It's good that people are noting the anti-Semitic subtext of RFK Jr.'s remarks. I wish more people were also noting the Sinophobic subtext. At this moment in world history I'd say the latter is as dangerous as the former.

Those radical hippy, lentil-weaving, eco-commies at the *checks notes* Office for Budgetary Responsibility have concluded it'll cost a lot more to remain reliant on fossil fuels than it'll cost to decarbonise. https://t.co/DI2CYN2oZm

Rural departments, thinking particularly of those in Shelburne County right now, rely heavily on the 50/50 for fundraising. You can find a link to support that here: https://t.co/taXrylx772

Preeminent scientists are sounding the alarm that ideology is undermining merit in the sciences. I strongly support them.

Great news for European rivers and wildlife! A record number of 325 dams and weirs have been removed, allowing fish to migrate freely and improving biodiversity. Let's continue to work towards restoring our rivers to their natural state.🐟🌿 @DamRemovalEU

Canada will never catch up to our international competitors if we keep ignoring the need for industrial planning.

Slavery sounds like something from the past, but there are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history.

Women and children are particularly vulnerable.

It is #FrancophonieMonth and this is the story of the Acadian Expulsion!

The French began settling in Acadia (Nova Scotia & New Brunswick) in the early-1600s.
In 1713, the British took over Acadia & at first left the Acadians in peace but it was not to last.

One of the national sports organizations whose governance our Canadian Heritage Committee is looking at is @CanadaSoccerEN. I think it is crucial we now move this organization to the top of the list and hear from Women’s Team members as well.

This is one of the most interesting situations happening right now.

The other day I finally saw something that I've wanted to see for a long time, and might never again. Phylliroe! This alien looking thing is in fact a nudibranch that's evolved to live in open water. Its fish-like morphology is often cited as an example of convergent evolution.
