Trying to practice photography in the yard and just lined up the perfect shot when a beagle butt appeared in front of the flower. Super helpful.

Some of the discussion of the MAID decision is so condescending towards people with mental illness. You can disagree with MAID for mental illness without infantilizing people with mental illness.

Gaza: A UN-mandated commission accuses Israel of deliberately targeting Palestinian children. Israel denies the accusation, claiming the commission overlooks Hamas's brutal tactics. This is when world leaders should defend international institutions.

#Ebola disease outbreak: “This is the largest outbreak that DRC has seen for many years,” declares Kate White, our Emergency Medical Coordinator. There is still difficulty with testing and treating people early enough to stop the growing death toll.

#Haiti: MSF has been forced to suspend medical activities at the Isaïe Jeanty maternity hospital due to escalating violence from armed groups. Medical care must never be caught in the crossfire. Read our response: www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/haiti-msf-fo...

We know who damaged the Reflecting Pool. It isn’t a mystery. The changes were made under Trump’s direction, in plain sight, proudly, and on the taxpayers’ dime. And then, he and his motorcade drove directly across the drained pool floor to inspect a newly applied "American flag blue" sealant…yep.

Over 100 mm of rain in two days led to a dangerously high and fast-flowing North Saskatchewan River, localized flooding, and overwhelmed city wastewater systems. The Weather Network's Connor O'Donovan details the impact of a historic rainfall event in Edmonton, Alberta. https://ow.ly/Rfmu50Zg0bj

I've come to terms with it, and I've decided, while the westher hasn't been ideal, as the rest of the world is dramatically overheating and in drought conditions, I will accept how abysmal Newfoundland weather has been. Especially since last year, it felt like the entire province was on fire.

#WhereInTheWorldIsGSO 📌 North of Fogo Island, Newfoundland, Canada 🧊 This spring, #URIGSO's Mingxi Zhou and members of his Smart Ocean Systems Lab were in the field mapping icebergs using the Robotic Iceberg Sentinel (RISE) system, a platform they developed right here on the Bay Campus!

In my second-last part of the Where It Begins series, I look at how Newfoundland and Labrador went from being a nation to a province and the example they set for current secession movements. substack.com/home/post/p-...

1. She changed her ID to comply with Kansas’ new anti-trans law. Now, the state wants to put her in jail for having an inaccurate license. Kris Ripper is being charged with driving with an invalid license—a class B misdemeanor—after a cop refused to believe the ID the state forced on her was valid.

Messi has been scoring goals in the World Cup for 20 years and still makes it look easy. Our GOV spokesperson has worked for 20 years and is totally out of breath from walking to the island’s laptop to type this.

Truth is, we have some algae in our National reflecting pool but we don’t hire con artists who make it worse. It’s also why we respect the bidding process and best value approach to contracts. It curtails corruption and provides the taxpayer the best chance to see superior performance.

The Regime is taking research money from the NSF to funnel it to places other than Universities, such as venture capital firms. That’s your tax money. I would not be at all surprised if Elon Musk or other people with no understanding of science get to grift off of this. Absolute corruption.

Study of 133 AI systems finds 44% had gender bias, like associating women w/ home & family; men w/ business & leadership or portraying women as sexual objects or subordinate to men.

Carvin: If this is the manifesto, it is what I would describe as an incel critique of capitalism. And he's really coming at a variety of different topics in here. You do have ideas, I would say, from the extreme left and the extreme right. But the continuing thread throughout is a hatred of women.

Stephanie Carvin on Montreal shooter's manifesto: There is the incel philosophy here as well as a lot of anti-government extremism ... the shooter is basically holding police responsible for upholding a system that is seen as inherently corrupt and degrading certain classes of men in society.

Terrasse-Vaudreuil, a town west of Montreal, has recognized trees as living beings with rights. The town will review its rules to protect trees and increase the canopy.

AIPAC is on track for a record spend this midterm cycle. It's become an issue in Maryland and New York.

Meet Birdie. She arrived at her rescue with a heart murmur caused by heartworm disease. With standard treatment, Birdie was expected to make a full recovery. Thanks to you, we covered her care in full, and she did just that! Now she's living her best life in her forever home ❤️‍🩹

We were sitting around playing drawing games last night and I saw some gigantic creature slowly plow through the moth sheet and I was like what the fuck was that?! Oh, just a beaver dragging a branch straight through the moth sheet. Sheets are of no importance to beaver.

On my way home yesterday, I saw four vehicles parked on the sidewalk in my neighbourhood. There is parking on nearby side streets and in the homes’ driveways but people are parking on side walks. This forces pedestrians, baby strollers, wheelchairs, animals, etc. into a very busy street.

“When public officials label LGBTI people as ‘deviant’, they are not upholding morality – they are legitimising hate and discrimination against a highly vulnerable group. Words from those in power carry weight and real-world consequences.” #Malaysia #LGBTQIA www.thepinknews.com/2026/06/23/m...

NEW STUDY: “Tennessee public schools among the most racially segregated… most segregated in the South number 6 nationally… Many education advocates insist school districts are being gerrymandered to reinforce segregation & resource inequality…” wpln.org/post/tenness...

But the idea that Jews 1) are the same as the nation-state of Israel (+ that all Israelis agree with the corrupt fascist villain in power!) 2) all approve of the most visible (often awful) Jewish orgs 3) agree on everything?!? is *so* blatantly stupid & antisemitic...

AIPAC also got the lawmakers in its pockets to OK a resolution condemning the UN Goldstone Report on human rights violations by Israel in Gaza passed 344–36 in 2009. Wonder what would have happened if *that* report had been taken seriously here instead.

American Jew, here. Rabbi, actually! AIPAC is not, in fact, "Millions of people." It's a lobbying *org* that spends a lot of money to influence lawmakers with the goal of getting substantial military spending to another govt., & associated goals. US Jews are a *people*, with diverse opinions!

Funny how “draconian punishment for minor offenses” is outrageous when another country does it, but somehow acceptable to some when it happens here. The distance between “authoritarianism” and “law and order” seems to depend entirely on whose government is doing it.
