CBC's Power & Politics is busily exposing how the Conservatives actually propped up Carney's budget by hiding 2 people in the wings until the last minute to find out how the vote was going, before deciding to vote no. IE: They'd have voted yes if it looked like it was going to fail.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

U.S. Steel. Nvidia. Intel. Westinghouse. By squeezing one company after another, Trump "is literally seizing the means of production," writes @jvl.bsky.social.
He's "a socialist...trying to make the American economy function more like Communist China." And all the while calling Mamdani a communist.

Even when the Army does something right, they do it in the most restrictively dumb way possible.
All they had to do was allow for (rubber-stamped) petitions for exemption for anyone who was willing to waive all that stuff and leave.

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews
These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them
Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.
