This animation shows the wind core associated with Hurricane/Post-Tropical Storm Melissa. As long as we don't get a dramatic shift in the track, the hurricane-force gusts (120+ km/h) remain offshore. #nlwx

🧵 Forecasts for Hurricane Melissa have started to trend northwest, and the centre of the storm is now forecast to be close enough to the Avalon that direct impacts for portions of Newfoundland between late Friday evening and Saturday morning look more likely. #nlwx (1/7)

It’s genuinely wild that every journalist and opposition politician in the umUnited States isn’t asking him what the fuck he is talking about every time he speaks.

Hi. I’m Rachel.

My name is first on the website the North American far-right is using to target people they say “celebrated” Charlie Kirk’s death.

There’s just one problem: I never did that.

But the people sending me threats don’t seem to care.

Let me tell you, in my own words, what happened:

Some Gladioli for you on this Thursday morning. The orange one was originally this really cool combo of green and yellow, but it changed color after the first grow season. #bloomscrolling #gardening

Canada is facing one of its worst wildfire seasons on record, and my home province is particularly hard hit.

Seeing how false and misleading information about the fires is spreading online has only further convinced me social media, especially Facebook, is a social cancer.

We need Canadian data centers, but it ain't for generative AI. Our needs and laws do not and cannot align with Americans. We need to keep our data, expertise and computing resources inside our country, preferably with Canadian companies, and not depend on others. @mark-carney.bsky.social

Trump has a private cell phone on which he takes calls — even if he doesn't know the caller.
 
Friends, corporate CEOs, world leaders and journalists regularly call it, knowing that, unminded by aides, Trump could answer, even when he doesn't recognize the number. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Hey folks, It's important to get out and vote today. Canada is facing a period where we need a steady hand on the tiller, with a leader who has the ability to navigate us through an evolving chaotic world. Let's not install a leader who is comfortable with the far right. @tomosborneca.bsky.social

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.

If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
