UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)

"You think apeness is your ally. But you merely adopted the ape." - Bane Goodall

i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.

I’m pretty much constantly angry about how the global media ecosystem supercharged the current wave of fascism and of course I can’t help but think of Al Swearengen talking about the telegraph coming to Deadwood

1/ Many of us have followed this extraordinarily compassionate 🇨🇦 doctor throughout the pandemic. Dr. Markland was indefatigable in his advocacy for healthcare & patients, & so much more. Rest in peace, Dr. Darren Markland - www.westernstandard.news/news/beloved...

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

Kinda frivolous, but I need help! GenXer, getting married in December. (YAY!) No idea what to wear. (BOO!) Internet scouring's been upsetting. (KA-CHING!) In-person shopping has been deflating. (SOB!) Been looking at new and resale and... nothing. Suggestions? (I'm in Canada. Nothing from the US.)

I can’t get the post to load via link, but the observation below by @calvinrestov.bsky.social is very insightful and feels true:

I can't stress this enough to folks who are maybe thinking about running for office, or who want to step up in some other way, but who are worried they're just not up to the responsibility: you totally. No one running things has got anything on you except connections. Go for it.

Great thread from Bret, as usual

Despite everything that happened this week, it has been another one full of mountain bluebirds here. #yql #Alberta #birds #birding #wildlife 🪶🇨🇦

I started to walk down towards where the bats were and I said no brett, you're staying the course. Several minutes later, I got this. Right behind me. Success! More videos and stills later once I get back to my laptop. 🪶

Some “Burn After Reading.”

I wrote about Robert Redford's environmentalism and, obviously, Sneakers.

Stay alive until then. Look after yourselves and your loved ones. Feed yourselves, get your shots and rest well. Look over your shoulders. Be as wise as serpents. Fight if you must. Run if you can. Speak up when its right. And find time to be you and be happy. Stay alive.

I took some extended time off from MSF this summer - some time to trade crisis meetings for trail running, cold lakes, and a long scramble up to Ishpatina Ridge (Ontario’s highest point). It wasn’t just time off, it was a summer of practicing nervous system regulation & recovery. Some thoughts:

For weekend warriors looking for a fun 10,000-steps walk for this pleasant weekend, may I suggest El Segundo, a favorite jaunt from my "10,000 Steps a Day in LA" book. A mostly flat loop taking in the beach, downtown, 1920s & mid-century landmarks, and some good eats!

Reminded of Rorty:

The good news: I found a dinosaur bone today The bad news: it's a stupid duckbill rib stuck in a 3 ton sandstone boulder

I don't know if it's a HAPPY friday but I'll go with Falcon Friday! 🪶

Nice to see the spirit of Gustavus Adolphus lives on.

because everything is fucking stupid and horrible and soul crushing and vile and depressing, I submit this photo of me meeting Weird Al Yankovic a few days ago after his show in LA

If you are in the Edmonton area Fiasco is still missing - please check garages and sheds and engines! Let's get him home, please share x

This came to me in a vision

sure, but is there any indication that james cameron has ever thought about AI's potential downsides?

And what burns me up the worst, with just the most incandescent fury is I am now raising my own child and I wanted, I *expected* to give her that same promise of, if not a just society, a -more- just society, that I had growing up and yet that dream has been betrayed by my countrymen.

Tonight is THE LAST night of the 2025 grunion season, where the fish mate ON THE BEACH at night, but reliably congregate several feet off shore at sunset. 2 nights ago we had a single pelican feed A half hour till sunset, we already have half a dozen pelicans putting on a show. Let's end strong! 🪶

I'm Colby. I'm in Manhattan, Kansas and study wetland soils (yes, we have wetlands in Kansas!). I also write open textbooks for college level soil science courses and coach the K-State Soil Judging Team.

Hey! I'm Allison. I'm down in Louisiana studying ducks! More specifically, I'm looking at the disease ecology of avian coronaviruses within migratory and resident waterbirds. I also paint birds!

And Alexander wept, for deliverables were down for Q3 FY326-325 BCE despite earlier optimistic forecasting

Doesn't get much cuter than this. Two curious 8-month-old polar bear cubs playing in the fireweed in the rain. Mom was not far away. 🌿🐻‍❄️🦊

We’ve been rewatching 30 Rock

I got extremely lucky this week and found my lifer Ringtail in the deserts of Arizona!! What a cute little creature, this is an encounter that I will never forget. #mammals

I'm Phil, based near Bilbao, Spain. I work out how to better manage & restore forests for biodiversity. I've often used evidence synthesis to answer applied questions, but I'm increasingly interested in working at local scales with managers, NGOs, and landowners phil-martin-research.github.io

A cute little western screech owl to brighten your Monday. #screechowl #owls #birds #canada #nature #wildlife #photography #wildlifephotography #birding #nikon #mcoupephotography

Sounds like we need more aircraft and boats to patrol our waters. Lots of potential jobs for Canadian trades and engineering firms. Great use of NATO commitments if we do.
