One of the best bedtime stories you can tell your kids during a thunderstorm is the difference between the speed of light (~299,792,458 meters/second) and the speed of sound (343 meters/second). https://t.co/G0WpOK4Cn3
More people need to be talking about this.
Remember the classified documents case Trump made disappear the second he took office? The one he was facing 40 felony counts for? The one where a judge he appointed buried the Special Counsel’s report?
Well, Washington Republicans handed Congress documents last week to clear his name, and it backfired. BADLY.
Because those documents contained evidence that Trump was showing passengers on his private plane some of the most CLASSIFIED secrets in existence — material so sensitive that only SIX people in the entire U.S. government had clearance to see it.
This isn’t over.

@KevinHamil27822@mcgillu I condemn Hamas and recommend the documentary "Screams before silence" for all people. However, this Netanyahu genocide like the Nakba should never happen.
"Agriculture for the Anthropocene: novel applications of technology and the future of food" I'm happy to share this new article a long time in the works, led by @DrLenoreNewman (UFV) and Dr. Rob Newell (@RoyalRoads) #foodsecurity
@MicheleTobias Not sure if this has been mentioned. GeoDa is amazing and a must. I teach with it in Geographic Data Analysis. JASP is also great for students that are just starting with stats (not spatial) and is focused on teaching stats (using R).
At five-years-old, my son Arthur did a drawing of a scientist in a laboratory curing COVID-19. We are looking at a generation of science inspired children. There is hope.
@theADHDacademic@DisInHigherEd@IncludEduOnline Yes, I had not realized that having white backgrounds on slides with dark lettering was a challenge. That dark backgrounds with different colour lettering helped learners that have a visual impairment. Thanks for this recommendation.
One of my students in an online Spatial Statistics course has visual impairment. Online resources for visually impaired people are hard to find. Any ideas for resources or how to leverage AI to help him learn statistics and spatial statistics? #accessibility#openeducation
@BCcampus do you all have some ideas for resources regarding Pressbooks and visual impairment? Thanks for any ideas! For now, we are using #OPENSTAX statistics books and it is not great for him. #accessibility
@DisabledStem any ideas are appreciated from you or followers. This is an amazing student that happens to be visually impaired and First Nations. He is passionate to learn statistics (Geographic Data Analysis) for environmental management. Tips?https://t.co/A0vEkZVnCR

@BenDoBrown@Maxar Nice catch! The result of Kerch (Putin Birthday) Bridge explosion. These trucks all appear to be going to the East (back to Russia), right?

Huge backlog of trucks waiting to cross the Kerch seen in satellite imagery taken yesterday by @Maxar. Backlog is waiting at this abandoned airport: 45.3657456, 36.4088473.
This article is accurate and worth a read. "What Russia has done... is forge a Ukrainian national identity that is more powerful than ever, along with wounds that will be refracted down through the generations." #forensicgeography https://t.co/v4uKdsqeyO
