Calling all Geneticists! Could you please discover the DNA sequence that determines “instinct”? Unlike animals, humans have very few instinctive behaviours.
If we could come up with a T cell/RNA treatment, maybe we could remake humans to be better.

Why can’t humans be more like these American Oil beetles? His buddy gets hurts, so he helps out by piggybacking him across the road. We should learn a bit of humanity from these little creatures.

If Musk has the power to add location transparency to accounts, he has the power to suspend accounts that make fake claims as to where they are located, then make the accounts justify why they’re doing it.
X's new location transparency feature shows that a slew of MAGA-branded accounts are apparently based outside the U.S., and also stirred speculative outrage over where the Department of Homeland Security account was created.

The only thing that hasn’t changed is the number of employees, and the delivery schedule. The same # of people delivering half the mail! I heard postal workers are guaranteed employment.
You know, I think I could live with getting mail once or twice a week, if some of that money was redirected to healthcare and education.
But if it goes towards Doug’s Skills Development petty cash box or Danielle’s pipelines in all directions, I’m out.

So, if the CPCs let up on their push to the far right to save the party (and PP), they will lose the PPC votes the RW push inherited, and then the next election will end in a Liberal supermajority. The CPC are between a rock and a hard place, and NDP and Green are nowhere near ready for an election.
