Things we all knew & could agree were wrong before the Trump era are now being fed to us as if they are OK & maybe even good. Weβre being gaslit on so many topics & sliding down a slippery slope v fast. I appreciate everyone who is working to hold the line against the amorality & barrage of lies.

Itβs not even September, but the geese are already on the move. Iβm not sure if these guys are heading south or somewhere to feed. We are right on the central flyway, so we get a lot of bird traffic. 7/8

The barn swallows were out in droves, snapping up whatever flying insect they could find over the water. Iβm glad I got going before the heat of the day so I could witness all of this activity. 3/
I got up early and took the kayak to a different part of the lake this morning. This is the Washow Bay drain, a little river that runs up into Lake Winnipeg. I thought it would be a fun change of scene. I was right why not join me on this 10 km morning paddle 1/
-Why is the galley's floor covered in flour? Cadwell?! -Hi cap, Reyes here was just showing me how impact craters are formed. You have this tray of flour and then take a spoon... -And you had to do it a thousand times? -To make sure that an experiment is successful... -Shut up, Reyes! #SciFiFri
-Crikey! Adding water just turned it all into batter! What now, Reyes? -Add some eggs, milk, salt, crank up the heating and we'll have a fresh batch of floor made pancakes! -Nah mate, I still remember when you fried snags on the reactor. -Now that, Cadwell, was a radiological experiment! #SciFiSat

National Guard is now tasked with picking up garbage in DC
I realize NO ONE else has this take, but I'm gonna say it: The National Guard are scabs now. These are potentially union jobs, many of which were outsourced, now they're insourced, but without union labor.

Reminder that this has always been concern trolling in the interest of fossil fuels - if they actually cared about whales, they would focus on vessel strikes (including those from oil tankers) and fishing gear entanglement, not to mention climate change.

Just had a driver of an SUV accelerate towards me while I walked my bike across Ahern, trying to connect from Anhern MUP to Bell bike lane. Got the wee apology wave, so it wasnβt intentional, βjustβ distracted. Also terrifying.

I guess Pierre Beaudoin believes he's rich enough to do whatever he likes to public wild spaces. "The work was completed in December by a local tree maintenance company which claims to have had proper authorization from the city. The mayor says they weren't aware, nor did they approve the work."

I've about had it with throttle bikes that get lumped under the basic label of "ebike". Throttles that propel people into double digit speeds, without pedaling requirements are causing issues on our active infrastructure, largely fueled by thrill seeking males.
