From coast to coast to coast, nature is part of our identity as Canadians — and that’s why our Liberal team is taking bold action to protect it. Happy #WorldOceansDay, Canada.

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

So much wrong with this…. Let’s start with “what was we ranked?” Inaccurate information from Mrs. WWE in the middle. Rounded out with throwing “total pole” in at the end. Ffs.

For many marine species, all we have is a name. Now, thanks to a huge effort led by @drcraigmc.bsky.social, for 85,000 species we have body size as well. Version 1 of the MOBS database is published today: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Enjoy! 🌐🧪

Why is the media even talking to Poilievre? Sheer is the current leader of the Opposition. Poilievre isn’t in the House. He’s just yelling outside the window. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Poilievre is fulla shit. Canada doesnt have a debt problem.

Truth from PM Mark Carney… it became very awkward for Poilievre when Canada came under attack from the very people he’d been cozying up to. A little more articulate than my description of “Poilievre is screwed.” 😅

In my interviews, I am encountering so much sadness among scientists. I simply do not understand why cancer biologists, ecologists, virologists, physical chemists, algorithm developers, power systems engineers and many, many others face sudden grant terminations, interrupted careers, firings.

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Five years ago, the diagnosis was incurable cancer. The prognosis? Two months. Two months to say my goodbyes. That was supposed to be the end of my story. But grit always beats grim. And here I am - five years later: alive, grateful, optimistic, still battling, still believing. gofund.me/ae4b8a2d

People saying on Twitter that they don't get enough engagement on Bluesky but then they're only following 100 or 200 people on here. That'll be why. 🤷‍♀️

Did you read the book about Joe’s decline? Big Bill: No because he’s not the president anymore and he did a good job when he was the president.

Clip from The Golden Girls (1989): Before being diagnosed with #MECFS, Dorothy tells her doctor she’s had months of exhaustion, fevers, muscle weakness, memory problems, and more. Her tests are normal, so he dismisses it as loneliness or depression.
