Do you know what kind of ferns those are?
They look like licorice ferns (polypodium glycyrrhiza) which are using found growing like that on the trunks of bigleaf maple here on the west coast of Canada.

Here’s how Duterte used Facebook (which made a deal for data charge exemptions thus making the app synonymous with the internet for many poor Filipinos) to harass his critics.🧵
It’s worth studying the slaughter unleashed by ex Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He killed up to 30,000 poor people in a futile attempt to wipe out drugs & his main communications vector was Facebook. Watch Nobel laureate @mariaressa.bsky.social explain how it was used to silence opposition.

Fun fact:
For the last 40 years every election in Canada has been won by a party that no one voted for!

Hah.
Just curious where the threshold for "no one" is - 44%? 47?

'“no one” doesn’t literally mean zero percent.'

Right, it means more like 42%.

The US sees its interests better served by Russia being bogged down in an interminable war, than the uncertainty and instability of a Russian loss.

Why Yucatan though?

I don't know if it's the weather but I had a similar experience hearing a Varied Thrush the other day.

Ford doesn't represent Canada though, only Ontario.
And I he's nothing if not corrupt.

I wasn't suggesting I trust the Mexican gvt, just that public pleading only eggs him on.
If the Mexico has made an undisclosed agreement with him that's another matter.

I think Ford is wasting his time and Mexico has done a better job of not taking Trump's bait.
Better to ignore Trump's nonsense and provocations, than to go pleading.
I think this gets it right.
