Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

I actually feel like the world would be a way better place if everyone with Pope levels of power had at least one person in their life who was totally unimpressed by it. imagine if Elon Musk had a brother who made him come over and fix the printer. imagine if the royals had even one normie friend

There’s a specific term for premature deaths that occur due to preventable problems in social, political, or economic systems and it is *not* “genocide” It’s “social murder”

I’m furious with Barnaby and Pauline and the LNP for even suggesting it’s reasonable for any Australian to remove funds from their Superannuation to cover living costs today. If the government asks this of them now: what about when the funds run out and your working ability? 🤨 #auspol

okay! Kendra asked for some suggestions here, and I'm going to offer something like a Litany of the Saints for all your "dear God, please let It™️ happen soon" prayer intentions there's no one immediate obvious candidate, but an "Avengers, assemble" approach to these folks might be worth trying:

Cory's right - Canada has the opportunity to be the worldwide center of right to repair and more. If you want to tilt the scales even farther in Canada's favor, make visas available to engineers who believe in this work but can't legally pursue it in their home country.

Yeah so this is absolutely going to kill people, and probably faster than when Centrelink tried the same thing. This isn't even a reverse centaur, it's just letting a computer loose on our most vulnerable. Evil choice by Labour. Everyone who voted for this should be ashamed.

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

I'm into book 2 of The Brothers Sinister series by the excellent Courtney Milan, and right now I want nothing so much as to be able to read the Mrs Larringer books that the heroine has been buying for her sister. They sound absolutely awful in the very best kind of way.

I'm about halfway through Dust Bunny and you absolutely CANNOT convince me that the little girl at the heart of things isn't a witch. And Mads Mikkelsen and Sigourney Weaver are delights, as always. The set design and costumes are gorgeous. It's an excellent romp so far.

Been in the CBD for half an hour and had 3 trucks covered in LED screens with lobbying ads go past. Still trying to work out if it's one truck cycling ads or different trucks. And who thought using AI in a "water good, protect marine life/sanctuaries" ad was good idea.

And so, like the monster I am, I must stop holding the greyhound's paw and go do Life Things. The reproach in said greyhound's eyes will follow me, however.

A blue greyhound in a purple jumper lying on a dog bed. She's curled up in a huff and looking at the monster who, after twenty straight minutes of doing so, stopped holding her paw and telling her she's the bestest greyhound there ever was.
