I thought about making it more like how it is with cars and making it when "a bike collides" instead of "when a cyclist" - but though it was more interesting more subtle and then you really see how egregious the car headlines are when you think about it

Well noticed (yes, intentional)

Isn't it fascinating how journalists do seem to be capable of avoiding passive voice when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian but not when it's a cyclist getting hit by a car.

I wonder if just calling it morph still, with every morph creature getting the counter might have been the right play.

Thank you - so cool 😎

I still get random sudden boosts of followers which I assume is from people re-posting a starter pack I'm on.

A picture of me, a middle aged person with great hair, black glasses, and a goatee, wearing a black sure and holding my beautiful newborn grandson who is wearing a teal outfit.

Err to be clear, I'm talking about the No response

Yeah my assumption would be that trivia knowledge peaked in the 80s for kind of the opposite reason - people have even less need for it now that you can get an answer from your pocket or asking Alexa

A fair point

What if the primary point of the 51st state rhetoric is to scare Canadians into not pointing out the increasing differences between Canada and the US as we continue to be a democracy while the US descends deeply into a fascist dictatorship.

Hey climatesky, some colleagues asked for recommended resources on *transformational* #adaptation and while I get the concept I'm not at all familiar with the literature - any suggestions from good foundational papers to practical case studies?

Reflection isn’t enough. Take action tomorrow and every day on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

National Truth and Reconciliation Day is on September 30th

But reflection alone is not enough. Here are some ways that we encourage you to consider showing your support and solidarity on Tuesday:

Graham, I definitely think you should try it at least once but in the meantime you're welcome to pop over anytime for storytime with grandpa gamer to live vicariously through being regaled with what it was like to see Star Wars in 1977 at a drive-in.

I see a lot of Canadian news and discussion because of seeking out folks to follow but also a decent amount of European, Australian, and New Zealand posts as well, peaking at times of different times of day...
