This is a nightmare: the destruction of Florida's orange industry. Tariffs, drought, deep freezes and a bacteria that is destroying the trees. They have lost 95% of production since 2003.
3/4s of growers are out of business. This is the dangerous eco-future staring us.

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Aww, this such a great little video. #TimCurry, while not in the greatest of health, is still such a wonderful storyteller as he reflects on some of his most iconic roles.
Happy 80th birthday to a legend.

This was just lovely. I've seen many of his movies & it's a testament to his great skills as an actor how he immersed himself & became those characters for us so much so that we "forgot" it was #TimCurry. Was not prepared for how emotional this made me viewing it. Still has a great sense of humour.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

Today is the 25th anniversary of Canadarm2 launching to the International Space Station
If you look on the back of a Canadian $5 bill, you’ll see it
Without Canada’s expertise in robotic arms, you could argue we wouldn’t have earned our seat on Artemis II. Thank you Canadarm2! 🫡

Uncertainty also fuels spread of bunk!
"In a rapidly changing world, the ability to tolerate uncertainty may be one of our most important cognitive skills. It protects against both paralysis & delusion."

I used to be a bit obsessed about the tidiness. Quite a few years ago I replaced my entire front yard with perennial plants & shrubs - makes it easier to get at all the unwanted weeds. I leave the dandelions in the backyard for the bees & probably mow now once a month starting in June thru October.
I'm already reminding my neighbours of #NoMowMay and the perils to pollinators when we start cleaning up and raking in our gardens and yards too early come Spring. The urge is there to get at it I know but don't give in and spread the word!!

Meep! (An extremely rare right side up Nuthatch sighting).
Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

Thanks to Webb’s extreme sensitivity, we now know it will safely pass the Moon, giving future astronauts and satellite operators peace of mind. 🛡️ #NASA #JWST #SpaceSafety 1/2
How lovely! I see the odd White-Throated Sparrow around here. I do have a friendly Song Sparrow who sings on the fence after every peanut is offered and accepted. I hope he/she returns once temperatures warm up some.
VATICAN CITY (AP) — Inappropriate. Ridiculous. Absurd. Visitors to the Vatican on Tuesday had some choice words for U.S. President Donald Trump after his harsh criticism of Pope Leo XIV for his calls to soften the rhetoric of war.

I got a slot to buy tickets for the '28 Olympics.
My family is all there, so we thought it would be great to go down for them.
Oh. my. god. The prices of these tickets. Closing Ceremonies? $5k
Handball? $400
Track and Field? $1,400
I'm out.
