Was just reading an assessment of the budget fight that was like “Trump’s team says tax cuts will boost spur growth that offsets them.”
What it doesn’t say is that they said that last time, too, which everyone said wouldn’t happen and which didn’t happen. Seems important to note!

Finally, the American red squirrel - cheeky denizen of the boreal forest. I just love these little monsters. Thanks for reading this little thread about squirrels in my neck of the woods for #SquirrelAppreciationDay 😁

Let's get small for #SquirrelAppreciationDay! Are chipmunks squirrels? Well they're in the family Sciuridae so I'm saying YES! In Saskatchewan we have a the least chipmunk and (spoiler alert) THEY ARE THE MOST

How many lines? 13! It's the thirteen-lined ground squirrel. Much less common than some other species, they really do have 13 lines: seven dark stripes separated by six lighter ones. Personally I always have trouble counting them but maybe you can? ... #SquirrelAppreciationDay

Next up for #SquirrelAppreciationDay is the ubiquitous Richardson's ground squirrel. They spend most of their lives underground - up to 8 months a yr in hibernation ( #goals ). The first sighting of the year is a sure sign of spring! .....

It's #SquirrelAppreciationDay? Well then, let's appreciate some squirrels that I see in my area 🧵. First up is the Franklins' ground squirrel, known to some as a "bush gopher" for its preference for semi-open shrublands and aspen forest instead of open prairie...

Twenty-some years ago, British Petroleum propelled the “carbon footprint” idea into the public consciousness as a way to deflect accountability from producers and industrial users to private individuals.
I bet even their PR firm, Ogilvy & Mather, wouldn’t have dared blame diabetics for plastic.
