Seems to be.

Common opinion of people who won’t be around long enough to feel much of the impact. And who are wealthy enough to adapt.

We need to play that Regan tariff ad every day in the US market.

America Is Living in a Climate-Denial Fantasy On climate, the U.S. and the rest of the planet are now in “completely separate worlds.”

By attempting to abdicate any legal responsibility to provide for a healthy environment, the U.S. is running in the opposite direction as the global legal community, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Ha ha, that’s what I always think. Rumble in the jungle.

Merlin picked up a humming bird?! Don’t think I’ve heard a hummingbird call. Mostly Goldfinches and blue jays this morning around me.

Decarbonized oil and gas is a pipe dream that is being used to defer any real carbon emission reductions to our children’s children. Business as usual is much easier.

Ha ha. I do the same thing! Morning ritual.

That is sooo cool! Congratulations!

Disappointed to hear an emphasis on “decarbonized oil and gas” from the first minister’s meeting. What a failure in leadership. We are about to surpass a 1.5oC global temperature increase and it’s business as usual. We are committed to a 40% decrease in CO2 by 2030, yet we dance around the issue.

Decarbonized oil and gas?

CO₂ at Mauna Loa just reached a monthly average of >430 ppm for the first time.

That's possibly higher than in over 3.3 million years.

The global RATE of increase is off the chart.

It's hard to exaggerate how unprecedented this is!

I would bet that the emissions from harvesting, preparing, transporting and spreading would be greater than the CO2 sequestered. Or we could transition away from fossil fuels, which is really the only viable solution.

Another reason to not use AI. The thing none of us needs or asked for.

David Do owns a house just outside Toronto, drives a Tesla and is paid $121,000 a year as a hospital pharmacist. But he leads a double life behind the world's most notorious website for non-consensual, AI-generated porn of real people: MrDeepFakes.com.

Enjoyed that. 23 is a good one as well.

I think there has to be a balance so that these things change over time. The language is by necessity aspirational because you can’t just upend industries overnight.

Masters or PHD student – nectar evolutionary ecology Amy Parachnowitsch’s Floral Evolutionary Ecology Lab University of New Brunswick I am seeking a motivated student(s) to examine the role of anthropomorphic change in nectar evolutionary ecology. Potential projects include: 1) assessing how anthropogenic change affects nectar evolution, 2) quantifying phenotypic selection on nectar traits and assessing the ecological contexts where it is a target of selection, and 3) determining the ecological and genetic contributions to nectar variation to allow a predictive framework for evolutionary change. Project details will be determined with the student. Likely systems will be fireweed (Chamerion angustifolium) or white clover (Trifolium repens). More about the Biology program at UNB: https://www.unb.ca/fredericton/science/depts/biology/graduate/index.html Requirements: 4-year undergraduate degree in Biology or similar / research Masters degree for PhD position. Undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or higher. English language proficiency. Research experience an asset (e.g. honours thesis). Deadline: recruitment will continue until filled, however applications before May 5, 2025 can apply for recruitment scholarships to top up salary. Sept 2025 or Jan 2026 start date Salary: UNB Biology base stipend $13500 plus tuition and fees (includes teaching assistant position for 2 semesters/year). Apply: send a cover letter of research interests, CV, and transcripts (can be unofficial) to aparachn@unb.ca (application to UNB will follow recruitment) Note: Qualified international applicants are welcome to apply but may face additional requirements (e.g. proof of language proficiency, etc).

I'm seeking graduate students interested in studying nectar evolutionary ecology. Masters or PhD. Sep 2025 or Jan 2026 start. Interested students encouraged to apply by May 5 to be eligible for additional scholarships. #gradschool #flower #evolution #nectar #pollination

It’s funny that we are at a stage of censoring art in Canada. Art reflects the time it is made, and this piece does it perfectly. Grow up UPEI. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

One of JVL’s darkest columns yet

So no peace in 24 hrs?

Chrétien always had a connection to the average Canadian, and his speech tonight hit the right notes. Vive le Canada!

Another coward. Good at pandering but a lack of leadership who would be useless in an international emergency.

Come on up, we love the company!

Skipping a conference I love so I don’t have to travel to the US. Maybe in 4 years.

Who is this Baghdad Bob and what possible role in life will she have when this idiocy ends?

Gretzky has always been an awkward, self-serving ass who couldn’t stand up for Canada if his comfortable life depended on it. Yes, good at hockey but a coward.
