Did you know that the bees that need saving are NOT honeybees? Honeybees are the dairy cows of bees. People brought them over from Europe to make us honey. The problem with honeybees, esp in resource-limited ecosystems (like hey! cities!) is that they compete with our native bees for food.

There is no virus that “only” causes serious harm in people who are high-risk. And even if there were, it would still be important to protect yourself and others. Please take steps to prevent getting and spreading illness in order to protect your own health and the health of others.

If only high-risk people die from that illness, why should I care about it?

1. Because you should care about other people, whether or not they are high-risk. No person is disposable, so it’s important to take steps to protect the people around us. Even if you aren’t concerned about your health, taking steps to prevent illness also helps keep you from spreading illness to people who are even more vulnerable. And remember, you can’t always tell who is most vulnerable just by looking at them!

2. Because people of all ages and health histories can (and do) experience severe illness and die from common viruses. There is no virus that only affects people who are high-risk. Even if certain people are more likely to experience severe illness and death than others, even young and healthy people can and do die from illnesses like the flu, COVID-19, measles, RSV and more. All people should take viruses seriously, even if you are not considered high-risk.

3. Because dying isn’t the only risk. Even if data shows that most people do not die from a certain illness, many illnesses like COVID-19, measles, and more can cause significant long-term health consequences. These risks include permanent lung damage, memory loss, disability, and more. All people, with or without underlying health conditions, are at risk of these long-term conditions. It’s not only about living or dying. It’s also about protecting your quality of life and health you might not get back once it’s gone.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

They speak of justice while ruling through fear.
They speak of sovereignty while stealing the vote.
They speak of dignity while condemning their own people.
I learned that those who insist the most on calling themselves "the good ones" are often the ones most afraid to face themselves. The Maduro regime wraps itself in flags, in anti-imperialist rhetoric, in a false epic where any criticism is labeled as betrayal. They claim to defend Venezuela, yet they stole the people's voice when they refused to respect the elections. That act alone strips away any moral authority.
But do not be mistaken. The fact that a tyrant is real does not automatically turn an external aggressor into a savior.
The United States does not act out of love for democracy. It acts out of interest. It always has.
The language changes, the enemy changes, but the method remains the same: pressure, punishment, displays of power. And as always, the blow is not absorbed by those in power, but by ordinary people.

The Venezuelan people are trapped between two narratives that do not represent them. One that oppresses them from within, and another that exploits them from outside. One that claims legitimacy without real elections. Another that claims justice without taking responsibility for the human consequences of its actions.
I do not defend Maduro. I point at him.
But I also refuse to accept that a global power can appoint itself as a moral judge while its history is written in interventions, sanctions, and broken countries.
Pain does not need propaganda. Hunger does not understand geopolitics. Dignity is not imposed with missiles, nor with dictatorships.
While some sell themselves as the good ones to justify repression, and others sell themselves as the good ones to justify aggression, the result is always the same: more suffering, more rage, more generations learning that force replaces justice.
And once again, pain is inherited.

Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay from December 31, 1905.

In this Sunday installment, Father Time awakens Nemo and flies him away to a giant wall covered in years (1902, 1903, 1904, etc, going ahead through the century.) He shows Nemo that if he touches a number he will jump ahead in age, and we Nemo as a 25 year old man and then as a middle-aged man. He gets scared so Father Time returns him to childhood. But as Time walks away, Nemo touches more numbers and becomes a very, very old man. Almost blind, he wonders around looking for Father Time until he wakes up in his mother's arms, shouting that he had become an old man. She assures him he was only dreaming.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

This is the saddest day of my professional life.
Today is not only the final recording of the latest series of The Infinite Monkey Cage, it is my last ever Monkey Cage.
I never thought that I would have to leave the show. I always imagined going on until | dropped dead under the studio lights due to a brain aneurysm caused by my final attempt to understand notions of quantum gravity or the shock of being told about fly maggot infestations in the sacks of macaque monkeys.
I resigned in September, after sixteen years of dedication to the show,
A show that I named and helped develop over all those years.
Unfortunately, my opinions outside the BBC have been considered problematic for sometime, whether it has been voicing support for the trans community, criticism of Donald Trump, numerous other outlandish opinions, including once gently criticising Stephen Fry.
These things were considered to conflict with being a freelance BBC science presenter

In a recent meeting where BBC Studio executives again voiced problems with me, I realised my choices.
Obedience and being quieter to remain making Monkey Cage, or 'Resign and have the freedom to speak out against what I believe are injustices'.
•
I chose the latter.
It broke my heart.
I love this show and I love the audience, and it is because of the audience in particular, that this decision was so difficult to make.
I kept thinking about all the extremist voices promoting hate and division. They are being given so many platforms, while voices that represent kindness, open mindedness, empathy seem to be scarcer and scarcer.
I felt I couldn't pamper myself with the luxury of silence.
One of my many privileges is that I am able to resign and I can speak out even if it is to the detriment of my career.

I have thought a lot about my heroes, Sinead O Connor, James Baldwin, Audre Lorde, and so many more.
I think of Sinead's words, "the job of an artist is to be themselves at any cost".
James Baldwin said prejudice was really just a word for cowardice.
Audre Lorde, viewing her life, wrote that her only regrets were her silences.
I think of my father as I resign, he brought me up to believe in fairness , justice and kindness.
Though my heart is broken, it is also full of fire.
I apologise to our incredible listeners for my departure, your love of the show means a great deal.
I am so sorry to let you down.
I hope that you can understand my reasoning.
I have to accept that I am not what the current
BBC expects of their freelance presenters.

Despite this I should add that I have always worked far more than my contracted hours to try and ensure the show was always the best it could be, as well as making myself accessible and responsive to the audience wherever and whenever I met them. Every night, we have recorded, I have been filled with determination to make the best show possible. This was not
"just a job"
I hope that with my departure I can be a better ally to the LGBTQ community, to the neurodivergent community, to activists fighting against those who aim to brutalise society, to those currently in prison on hunger strike, and to all those who fight for a more inclusive world.
From many conversations, I know there are many Monkey Cage listeners who support these communities and activists too.
The strawberry is dead.
Long live the strawberry. B

Canada’s largest white nationalist network marching down Ottawa streets in front of our Parliamentary buildings. Not great!

Image of Jeremy Mackenzie in front of CBC on sparks st in Ottawa, with masked members of his active club Second Sons behind him holding a banner that reads “CBC hates white people”

Still from a video of the second sons active club members, masked, marching down sparks street in Ottawa in front of a building where parliamentary committee meetings are held

Post from a top Diagolon and Second Sons member, Alex Vriend, on Telegram reads: “There was a dozen or so CBC
employees frantically running around inside the building waving their arms over their heads like something out of a cartoon. Highly entertaining.”

Post from Diagolon Leader Jeremy Mackenzie on telegram reads:

“Telling CBC HQ to get fucked to their faces at their workplace while they stared fearfully, scurrying around in the windows was a high point of my year.
Immense thanks and respect to the club, their supporters and families.
I've carried this weight around for a long time and it was very satisfying and righteous to be able to physically point to those who are truly responsible for so much death of our people.
You wanted our "comments", СВС.
Soon the entire country will have them.
They hate you.
They hate me.

statement from the WestLos Rapid Response Network re: rumors of nannies kidnapped at the park: Please rely on updates from community groups on the ground. Sometimes things spread like wildfire & it’s tough to control the misinfo Always remember to ask- where did they hear this? & how do they know?

The WestLos Rapid Response Network (operating throughout the westside) has been working on these “nanny kidnapping” tips all day. They all originated from one false report in Santa Monica. This was based on an alert text sent out by a school that many took as fact, but (we called the principal who sent it and visited the school to talk to admin) it was really only based on one call from a parent. We spoke to a nanny who was an eyewitness who confirmed this report stemmed from one man in plainclothes with an “earpiece” who was filming from the parking lot for an hour, and then left. he never spoke to any of the nannies or children and no one was detained, but many of them panicked and left. we have no photos or videos of the sighting. we had our rapid responders clear that park and several other parks across the west side, from Santa Monica all the way to the Westwood area (Cheviot Hills) several times throughout the day and confirmed by speaking with staff at those parks that no activity had been seen, but they had heard the same rumor. One had also heard about the man recording at the original park. To repeat, no nannies and certainly no children have been detained *to our knowledge*. It is very possible that an undercover agent was scooping out that first park and we will continue to patrol that park and the others daily for the foreseeable future. If there were any detainments of nannies, we have not seen any proof of them or spoken to anyone who saw them take place.
