when you take money out of your savings account to buy a car, that’s not your bank helping you. The same principle applies with any form of "government assistance", which is something we all pay into.

This is really cool. Researchers used sound to ID several species of marine fish off the coast of BC.
This means that we might be able to use similar techniques for monitoring fish populations and communities, without needing to capture fish in the process. 🐠🐟🐡

Knock, knock, who's there? B.C. biologists identify unique sounds of 8 fish species
There are grunts and growls, knocks and croaks — but the wild sounds detected by a team of British Columbia researchers don't belong to any of the province's famous forest creatures.
The noises are made by fish off coastal B.C.

I have a friend who used to rally for the "right things". You know, the things that are good for people. "Idealistic" things.
She got elected, and has since told me " I am for realpolitik now".

I activated the alt-text reminder last year, and was stunned at how often it needed to remind me. I thought I was doing pretty good! (I was not)
2026 challenge for everyone:
This year looks to be A LOT, so let's work on being kind and inclusive!
- Have you put alt text on that image? Yes, that one too.
- Have you enabled the alt-text reminder?
- How's your language use? Have you removed all the slurs?
Let's try to not exclude people.
