[Al Jazeera Breaking News @AJENews]

@emollick it's wild how quickly it's made 4o absolutely insufferable to work with even though it seemed great a month ago, for primarily this reason more than other concerns with the model

@withfilesfrom @EmilieBerge @FrancisVachon @VinaNadjibulla hope you get a chance soon to push on ID being added into Minister Joly's portfolio rather than standing alone? 🙏 especially at a time when the FA file is... uhh... maybe a little demanding

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

More land animals than ever before are slaughtered for meat—

Global livestock numbers — tracked by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization since 1961 — have surged, with particularly large increases in the number of chickens, pigs, sheep, goats, and cows.

For many land animals, life is short and painful. Recent estimates indicate that globally, most animals are raised on factory farms. In the US, where better data and research are available, 99% of livestock is factory-farmed.

@Alex_Panetta Parallel universe thinking probably also includes a version where a savvy GOP appeals to Canadians on a platform of "we've always been the states' rights party" and a good chunk of Canadians are sold not on the social conservatism but on "we'll let Canada be Canada." bizarro

[Jesse "The Hot One" Bergen 🇵🇸 @jessebergen]

Learned that my friend in Gaza spends nights using a stick to fight off hungry stray dogs to protect his kids (3 and 5 yrs old). Israel has turned Gaza into a death camp, total hell on earth

[Melissa Martin @DoubleEmMartin]

Extremely good and comprehensive thread.

[David Turner @dgainest]

@EiriOhtani huge fan of this

[David Turner @dgainest]

@BelindaJDodson @withfilesfrom Genuinely bleak

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

@DavidJefferess shows how appeals for donations reveal limitations of the notion of ‘humanitarian crisis’ and expose how it functions as a euphemism – refusing to name causes of suffering and directing people away from action to address them. https://t.co/zi0rlq2v3Q

[David Turner @dgainest]

@IneffectiveMath at first I read RW as right wing and I was really excited for where this was headed

[David Turner @dgainest]

@BelindaJDodson @BobRae48 @JustinTrudeau @melaniejoly and then we get this

[Canada in Palestine @CanadaRepPA]

This week, the war in #Gaza passed two terrible milestones: 10,000 Palestinians and 100 UN aid workers killed.  Under international humanitarian law, all parties to the conflict must do their utmost to protect civilians and humanitarian workers. @UNRWA

@tombrodbeck @am_tod In my corner of Riel the ground game has been about 5:1 NDP too, which makes the strategy even harder to make sense of. Don't think it'll be close here in the end.

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

This current El Niño will likely continue through March 2024 (scientists announced this today). So we’ll see way hotter and more extreme weather until then.

But the El Niño will eventually end. It’s just that the climate change making it worse won’t—unless society acts NOW.

[Emily Atkin @emorwee]

For everyone experiencing big climate anxiety right now, I think it’s important to remember that this is an El Niño year.

Yes, it’s a taste of things to come if we don’t get our shit together.

But it’s not an “every year will inevitably be worse than this from now on” situation

[David Turner @dgainest]

@IneffectiveMath In case that happens, please know that your funny shapes and general way of existing was actually one of my favorite things about this place, like for a bunch of years
