This weekend is the Fraser South Regionals Championships for the BC Summer Swim Association. More than 700 kids swimming this weekend. People often don't realize what a big sport swimming is

What's the best book, article, or research paper that explores what it would take to make post-secondary education tuition-free in any province in Canada? Not just advocacy, but nuts and bolts about how it could work in terms of institutional budgeting.

So evidently in the past month "climate change/the environment" has jumped as an issue of concern on rolling polls. I guess breathing toxic air has that effect But also: reminder of the absurdity of flattening all the costs and consequences of climate breakdown into a single euphemistic category

Reminder that Musks twitter takeover occurred in late 2022 It was an inflection point for a lot of opinions. It's not that twitter directly reaches people - it's that it reaches the people who make opinions go mainstream.

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social I'm in a hotel room and one of the few channels is Discovery... and there's a show about how Great White sharks organize themselves into Game of Thrones-style Houses and they're telling me these Houses go to war with each other regularly

Sideshow Bob absolutely would win the election if it was held today

I agree with this take

This implies that, for a lot of asthmatics, the actual problem isn't really the general condition of asthma. The problem is the gas We need a new name for this... Something like "gas-induced lung disease"

x.com/bchydro/stat... Sorry for the twitter link, but I had a cool day at work today. Proud to represent @kwantlenu.bsky.social at this important celebration of the expansion of the @bchydro.bsky.social EV charger network, and opening new chargers at the KPU Richmond campus.

BC Hydro (@bchydro) on XToday, our President and CEO Charlotte Mitha joined Minister @adriandix to announce plans to expand our EV fast-charging network to 3,500 charging ports by 2035. Supported by a $700-million investment...x.com

I will speak for just $49k. Hire me instead!

This is partly why I did a hard break with the platform I knew I would not be immune.

www.nature.com/articles/s41... "When monetized, climate-driven smoke deaths result in economic damages that exceed existing estimates of climate-driven damages from all other causes combined in the USA" Damn

Wildfire smoke exposure and mortality burden in the USA under climate change - NatureSmoke PM2.5 could result in 71,420 excess deaths per year in the USA by 2050 under the SSP3-7.0 high-warming scenario.www.nature.com

Civilization 7 is 50% off Do I do it?

I hadn't seen this before... Carl Sagan testifying about climate change in *1985* youtu.be/Wp-WiNXH6hI?...

It's actually deeply concerning that the US government is making threatening statements to Canada about wildfire smoke. It's hard to understand why everyone is treating it like a joke. Their behaviour is extremely hostile and scary

Everyone please stop what you're doing and say hi to Monoco, our new pet hamster

This would absolutely devastate many ecosystems

Another W for President Eby

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... This loss hurts. Prof. Montevecchi was a mentor to so many, and a singular force for conservation in Newfoundland and Labrador. I don't think it's a stretch to say: There are a lot of sea birds that wouldn't exist today but for his work.

World-renowned seabird biologist Bill Montevecchi has died | CBC NewsSeabird biologist and Memorial University professor emeritus Bill Montevecchi died early Saturday morning. He was 80 years-old.www.cbc.ca

When I see statements like this, I think of Canada Post. Isn't this *exactly* the type of service that our national communication service should offer? And if it becomes an internationally relevant tool, why not?
