This was the video I was looking for yesterday to post. I follow Joshua Wright on instagram because we are both passionate about saving old trees. This was an ancient forest valley that was recently logged on Vancouver Island. They cut down one of the largest Yellow Cedar tree in Canada. 😢

Sometimes society at large rejects certain ideas because they’ve been thoroughly shown to be wrong and also because they suck and the people who espouse them suck and when someone comes around arguing those ideas should be part of some edgy modern debate we can and should shun them and move on.

Clark is an interesting phenomenon. Brilliant in so many ways, fragile and flawed in others. The coach that can help her to become complete and mature will have achieved something notable.

The lead for every network news broadcast should be the president falling asleep in the middle of a press conference in the Oval Office for the umpteenth time. But it won’t be and likely won’t be mentioned or shown. Again. What a joke network news is. bsky.app/profile/atru...

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

Black text on a white page that reads:

Too many lives have been cut short by high-speed, illegal e-bikes and e-scooters.

That’s why we are issuing cease-and-desist orders against 42 online retailers that have been selling these dangerous devices to New York City residents — including Target, Temu, Wayfair, Walmart, and Amazon. 

The safety of New Yorkers is not for sale.

it does actually sound like taylor farms and the white house teamed up to try and blame taco bell for the outbreak. unprecedented corruption
Within hours, the White House agreed the patient surveys painted a clear picture, the people said. In an internal call, the White House aides approved statements from the public health agencies for public release — though they still only identified Taco Bell as linked to the outbreak, without naming Taylor Farms specifically.
Taco Bell moved first, releasing a statement. While it did not explicitly name Taylor Farms it said it believed "public health is a shared responsibility among restaurants, their suppliers, and authorities, and we are proud to have consistently acted quickly and proactively to protect our guests."
The agency updates on the outbreak were finally posted after 10 p.m. New York time - hours behind schedule - and also omitted directly naming Taylor Farms or saying if the company would recall products.
