This photograph series by Mark Cowan documents a phenomenon called 'lachryphagy' ("tear-feeding"). The caiman excretes salt in their tears & the butterflies need the precious minerals for their metabolism & reproduction. So, they're feeding on crocodilian tears. (📷: Mark Cowan, Curtin Uni.)

The US led the way in fighting malnutrition, and USAID provided a miracle peanut paste that brings kids back from the brink -- until now. Starvation is a problem that we can actually solve, but we're now retreating from the fight. Here's what I found in West Africa: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/18/o...

Our first-past-the-post voting system makes cities seem more uniformly left-wing than they are in reality, and makes rural areas seem more uniformly right-wing than they really are.

Some of you may go without access to shelter, but that is a sacrifice the Kitsilano Coalition is willing to make. m.youtube.com/watch?v=SdLN...

The Vancouver SkyTrain gets really good ridership numbers for the length of the system and size of the metro area. Part of this is fast, frequent, automated service. But another part is that they’ve built a ton of density at many (though not all) stations.

The City of Coquitlam has Dutch style junctions at the Guilford and Pinetree. Having only ever seen them in Not Just Bikes videos, I could not stop smiling for the rest of the day

We do not eat a credit card’s worth of plastic a week. This doesn’t pass even the most basic sniff test but also the paper everyone is quoting doesn’t even say that we ingest that much plastic and I’m sick of hearing it in credible places!!!

If we’re being honest, the biggest threat to urban livability isn’t density or height. It’s the noise, danger, pollution, and wasted space that comes from prioritizing cars above all other modes of transport.

I made this with the hope that it would spur the issue to be part of the election. Now since many of you *just* strategically voted, you might want to learn how we can build a Made in Canada Democracy 🇨🇦 Why We Need Electoral Reform Now | The Goose Explains youtu.be/TdXtMGCdb9o

For the past ~9 months I've been working on a video about the CPPIB and their active investment management strategy for the CPP, what it costs us, and how it's performed. Anyway, the video is super long but it's finally done. youtu.be/mcNIrBlciPc
