The bald eagle could have easily gone extinct. But we did all sorts of "woke" things protecting it legally, ran conservation and study programs, banned DDT (that was good for other reasons too) and in 2007 they were removed from the endangered species list.

Likewise pine forests could be dead from acid rain.

The ozone could have a huge hole.

We CAN take care of nature when we want to. And the successes have been worth it.

I feel like we forget this, you know?

Israeli war cabinet minister Benny Gantz, who heads the National Unity party, says his group will quit the emergency coalition government if Prime Minister Netanyahu doesn't agree to his requests, including a six-point plan for the Gaza conflict that will include post-war governance for the Palestinian territory.

Whenever I'm doing in-depth research for a piece of journalism, I always re-discover the amazing quality of nonfiction books

A good nonfiction book is the most information-rich/dense piece of media on the planet

The qualifier "good" being crucial here, bien sur

But if it is good? Holy crap

You hold in your hands the product of someone who spent years exploring a subject, and sifting for the absolute best data/stories

Nothing -- no documentary, magazine piece, white paper -- can compare

"Pour la première fois, une étude réalisée par une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université d’Aix-Marseille et de l’Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, composée de spécialistes du champ de la communication, de la nutrition, de l’épidémiologie et de santé publique, met en évidence qu’afficher le Nutri-Score des produits alimentaires dans les publicités conduirait les consommateurs à choisir des aliments plus favorables à leur santé."

, , ... are existential threats to Americans' lives & wellbeing:

20% of American business is now controlled by private equity *draining $B's out of our economy every week to stash in the money bins of its morbidly rich owners...

PE reps. capitalism run amok (cancer stage) & it can be deadly. PE acquisitions of nursing homes led to an est. 20K premature deaths.

The Biden admin has taken some tentative steps, but Republicans...

Israeli #warcrimes, Palestinians abused in detention💔:

MIL base -now doubles as a detention center in IL’s Negev desert: Rows of men in gray tracksuits seen sitting on paper-thin mattresses, ringfenced by barbed wire -blindfolded -heads hanging heavy under the glare of floodlights.

Whistleblowers: doctors sometimes amputated prisoners’ limbs due to injuries sustained from constant handcuffing -air's filled with the smell of neglected wounds left to rot.

It is a little amazing to me to see people who have been rendered incapable of seeing any difference between Biden and Trump because Biden has taken the slow-centrist-Democrat approach to Netanyahu's destruction of the Gaza strip. There's a lot going on there, Netanyahu is barely in power, the best goal is "how quickly can the atrocity stop?" not "how quickly can we claim we're no longer involved in the atrocity that has not stopped?" There's a difference. And yes it is awful./

"In Rafah I saw children who had amputations, but were living in tents because hospitals are full. Those children – and many, many more – are now being told to go to zones such as Al Mawasi. The so called “safe zone” of Al Mawasi: where UNICEF reported on a little boy, Mustafa, who went to get some parsley for the family dinner. Mustafa was shot in the head, and killed … in the “safe zone” of Al Mawasi"

Statement from Unicef. Read it all.

So, this was released today. My third stamp with Canada Post. Qarlinngua (The pants). And technically my second stamp with a family member in it, as the tiny figure in it is my son Travis. Now for one with Hilary in it.

I’ve very proud of all of these, beyond the cache. They are about my home, and family. And also my family has a long history with the Post Office, 101 years. My grandfather, father, and brother were all postmasters in Roblin.

You need to stop what you're doing and read this @columbiaspec / @nymag oral history of the Columbia protests. It's the best thing written on the topic -- by far. https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/05/04/our-campus-our-crisis/

My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.

You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

One very cool, very normal thing that non-war-criminals do is threaten collective punishment in retaliation for potential indictments on human rights violations

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.
