If anything shows the state of Canadian #cbc journalism, it is having an inside-Ottawa front page when #Canada is about to join the #EU. Lazy journalism.

Q: Would you ever encourage one of your clients to disparage a court in the manner the president has disparaged the Supreme Court? BLANCHE: The real question is whether the president is allowed to be critical of another branch of government. The answer to that is absolutely.

We are witnessing something truly shameful that will reflect on the USA for generations. A "civilised" country that allows one man to take absolute control and chats, discusses, laughs about it as pain is inflicted on billions of people.

One more time: postpone the World Cup or #boycottWorldCup. You know it makes sense.

Using gazillions of dollars to kill a frail, 87 year old guy with cancer and make him a martyr, which is likely what he wanted. What a genius.

Why would any soccer fan risk traveling to the USA for the World Cup and be "interviewed" and have their social media checked by the same organization that kills its own citizens in cold blood? #boycottWorldCup until it is safe again.

@dalfaculty.bsky.social @timbousquet.bsky.social Can we find out: a) who at Dalhousie hired these consultants? b) how much Dalhousie is paying them? c) what have been their recommendations to senior management and Dal board? Just to clear the air a little.

The reputational risk to #Dalhousie University from its misguided and ill-considered lockout of Faculty is massive. A glance at the Board makeup, mainly corporate types, makes me worry they may have no idea what makes a successful University, what Faculty do, and why.

Convenient for Republicans to say "don't politicise tragedy". But this article from April about experienced #NWS early warning manager from San Antonio, #Texas forced into early retirement by #chainsaw cuts to #NOAA demands accountability in the face of the #flood tragedy. tinyurl.com/yyhxveef

We polled Nature readers to ask if they were thinking of leaving the US for jobs abroad. Three-quarters of them (who said they were US-based scientists) said yes. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/d41...

nature.com

75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving

More than 1,600 readers answered our poll; many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.

Has everyone forgotten their basic biology? Whales, contrary to sharks and fish, eat carbon in the ocean, metabolise it to move and stay warm, and then pump it into the atmosphere. The carbon goes the wrong way!! Whales are really great but not for reducing atmospheric CO2😂🧪
