Rather than fossil fuel-driven CO2 levels being a pollutant, the #UCP stated “the Earth needs more CO2 to support life & to increase plant yields, both of which contribute to the health & prosperity of all Albertans.” #canpoli #abpoli #ableg #RecallThemAll #Alberta www.desmog.com/2024/11/25/a...

Highlight of this week’s classroom presentations to grade 5s about the library was when one boy stood up and told me everything I was saying was “too good to be true” and that “That can’t all possibly be free”. Thanks for the great advertising, kid!

🧵Thread. I collect photos that people took of their TV screens (in the days before video) because they wanted to capture a historical moment, or at least something that meant something to them.

Reup. No reason.🇨🇦

This from @realgdt.bsky.social talking about 'Frankenstein' is so good.

How could a straight-to-series greenlight go so wrong for the first TV series I ever created?! Today, the 5AM StoryTalk Podcast brings you Part 1 of a four-part Hollywood horror story I describe as a cautionary tale for screenwriters about what can happen when all your dreams come true.

Obscure YT of the day – h/t @jfkenney.bsky.social Really Weird Tales. An SCTV adjacent of Twilight Zone-ish parodies. 'I'll Die Loving' with Catherine O'Hara, John Hemphill and Jayne Eastwood has cracked me up more times than I can count. youtu.be/g4QL5iMayFI

A look at the new Programme 4 telecast, coming to a candlelit lounge or paneled rumpus room near you!

While still a teen, Edward James Olmos -- yes the actor -- once fronted a rock/psychedlia band. They were called Eddie James and the Pacific Ocean (cuz nothing's bigger than the Pacific Ocean!) & played the Sunset Strip, including Gazzarri's, in the 1960s. We need a reunion show!

The first known use of 'chimpanzee' was in 1738, and it comes from the Kongo dialect word 'chimpenzi.'

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

The Emotions on Soul Train. It cuts out a little prematurely likely due to copyright issues, but c'mon: youtu.be/62jZldkMC_o

Both gone now. Just sad

holy crap, solar panels are productive! even in Brooklyn our electric bill for all 2024, for an entire house: $499.29 ($240 of this is the monthly connection charge, so: only $260 for actual electricity) installed in 2018, the panels amortized last year, so now it's just crazy-cheap juice

A bird I only see a few times a year (if that), a Yellow-billed Cuckoo. These birds are one of the few species able to eat hairy caterpillars. Cuckoos have a special stomach lining that prevents the prickly hairs of hairy caterpillars from doing damage to their digestive system.

Not sea glass but fragments of plastic car tail lights, indicators and brake lights, probably washed into storm drains after heavy rain, eventually making their way to the sea. #oceanplastic

Lots of great media pouring in as Sun Day hits high noon on the west coast! www.commondreams.org/news/celebra...

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Just a friendly reminder that in the mid-80s, Knorr (the powdered soup and gravy company) had a weird scarecrow mascot made of vegetables.

People just don’t compose songs about anthropomorphic citrus fruit like they used to.

New Conjuring movie is already in production!'
