The point of book banning is to reduce exposure to diversity, especially to the most easily influenced. Exposure to diverse views and experiences allows children to develop empathy, shielding them from control through reactionary hate speech, divisive politics, and disinformation.

Guess what kind of energy can be created from renewable, natural resources within our own nation, and can't be stolen or controlled by any other nation? Green energy.

And lower traffic for everybody else. allowing anybody to get around easier no matter how. Motorists always neglect the fact that the only traffic that really hinders their travel is created by other motorists, which are unnecessarily motorists. Allowing other options to thrive reduces this traffic.

A front yard covered in snow.

This was from last night while it was still snowing. This morning was very wintery, and I had to take out the winter bike again. Just for a morning apppintment thoigh. I imagine later today I'll be back on the summer bike again, looking at the high.

On reflection, "distraction" is too weak. These attacks mean a very real detraction of Iran's military capacity to help allies in Lebanon. Israel says they will not join in a ground assault on Iran. They want the US to take that front so Israel is free to keep "doing to Lebanon what we did to Gaza".

A pharmacutical bottle with what looks like 122Y or IZZY written on top.

This is the original bottle for specimen 122Y. We have cultivated her for years along with her twin, specimen A881, under the familiar names of IZZY and ABBI.

Avi Lewis posts: Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date. Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering. Hundreds dead, entire neighbourhoods reduced to rubble. Reports of ethnic cleansing and open discussion of permanent military occupation. Prime Minister Carney has rightly condemned the invasion as illegal, but words are not enough. Canada must bring sanctions against Israel, cancel the Canada-Israel free trade agreement, implement a real two-way arms embargo, and use every diplomatic and economic tool at our disposal to rein in Israel. US-Israeli impunity has shredded the international order: Canada should lead in rebuilding it.

Within hours of a so-called "ceasefire", Israel murdered hundreds in Lebanon. The media reduces this violation as a "disagreement" over what ceasefire means, while the US says if an "agreement isn't met", that Israel can kill whoever they want, then the US will go back to killing whomever they want.

No fair share for billionaires! Make us pay their part!!! CPC forever!!! /s

NPR and PBS push back against Trump’s order to cut funding: ‘This could be devastating’ PBS’s Paula Kerger and NPR’s Katherine Maher say they’re looking at legal options to defend against White House

The @npr.org journalists I dealt with in #Africa did excellent work. (1 was unjustly jailed !) Would be a terrible shame if they cripple this quality news source.

Meanwhile, Israel says the only reason Iran and Lebanon exist is to threaten Israel. They cannot see them as a people, only "human animals" to contain and slaughter.

I wrote about how US media is laundering authoritarian anti-gender politics through a frame of viewing restrictions on trans people as being led by progressive European countries rather than the reality that it is illiberal autocratic states.

This death camp never closed down despite a concerted effort by many forces to convince you it did.

Thomas Lukaszuk In defending separatists’ disregard of Treaties, today Alberta government lawyer submitted to the Court that First Nations can’t stop the referendum as it “does not affect a real situation or real people”. FIRST NATIONS AREN’T REAL PEOPLE?!

Hundreds were killed by Israel in Palestine immediately following their ceasefire agreements as well. We are not surprised, but we ought to be furious.

Hello, Ned! Hey! Hey how are y'all doing? Good to hear from you, I'm doing good thanks, that reminds me i saw your name on the P.B.J list this week, have you heard from them? Peanut Butter and Jelly? Yes.

Is this a scam, or is there really a Peanut Butter and Jelly list? Do you need to send anybody a PB&J before you get one sent to you?

“Land use decisions – particularly the siting of groceries, pharmacies, gas stations, and fast-food outlets – are strongly associated with the death and injury of vulnerable road users” because they “generate exposure in locations fundamentally incompatible with vulnerable road user safety.”

I don't get this. As an urbanist, I want mass transit to be properly funded so that drivers aren't stressed and overworked, making transit unreliable. I don't know about where you are, but urbanists here love labour, unions, and public service funding. I can't imagine it any other way.

I just listened to the reporter on CNN who said he reached out to the Iranian Foreign Ministry to get a real copy of the statement… and it was the exact same statement they had already reported on.

Also this:
"Carney also reiterated his stance that the Iranian regime is a global security threat in response to a question on whether he regretted initially supporting the war."

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. | don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end.

Carney urges all parties in Iran war not to target civilians, civilian infrastructure amid Trump threats 7 hours ago | 2:54 Asked about U.S. President Donald Trump's threat that 'a whole civilization will die tonight’ if Iran doesn't meet his deadline to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada expects all involved parties to respect international laws. 'That means not targeting certainly civilians or civilian infrastructure,’ Carney said.

Trump: "I'm going to murder 90 million people in one night, because they are radicals..."

Carney: "BOTH SIDES need to respect the law..."

WTAF, CARNEY?!
