Wake Up, You Lazy Skin Sack. I’m a Songbird and It’s 4 A.M. Wake up my sleepy mouth-breather, it’s 4:01 a.m. and I feel chatty! I might be small but I’m a warm-blooded lunatic and I’m right outside your bedr...

Government of Canada forecast map for fire danger May 29 2025. Majority of Canada is red - meaning fast growing high intensity fire.

I’m confident this is not the future anyone truly wants.

Why is it so hard for governments and industry to connect much needed climate action (major reductions of fossil fuels & CO2 emissions to ease warming) with a future of breathable air?! Like the dots have been connected, you can see the pic

I don’t know how long we can keep witnessing the horrors in Gaza before those who can truly make it stop will see what’s happening in front of them. What they have allowed. πŸ’”

It’s soooo much snow!!!
But after years of smoke filled summers it gives me a little hope we might get some relief from raging wild fires this summer?! the ground will be wet and the trees will be happy! (But also yes it always snows a bit well into April ❄️ 😎)

I get it! It’s just such a wild question. How can anyone really answer it? There’s no good answer. β€œI probably should be.” Is a great answer though!

I love being asked if I’m happy! Like both as an artist or just in general because it’s such a WILD question! Always gives me pause. … what do you mean by HAPPY? Happy how? Happy about what?! 🀯

β€œThe Last of the Nightingales” Tells the Story of How Soundscapes Change After a Fire Masha Karpoukhina’s documentary follows a soundscape ecologist who lost everything in a California wildfire.

As habitats and species are lost to climate change, their voices disappear. A new documentary by Masha Karpoukhina tells the story of this loss through firsthand stories and a deep archive of recordings.

The big takeaway here is that Reuters won this case against the AI company on grounds they violated fair useβ€”the judge found the AI company was guilty because, in using copyrighted works to generate its output, it β€œmeant to compete... by developing a market substitute.”

Huge.

Being an adult is like β€œRatatouille” except you’re both the hapless human AND the rat who’s trying to get him to stop being terrible at everything and also the food is worse

How the Capybara Won My Heartβ€”and Almost Everyone’s Else’s It’s not hard to understand why capys have a cultlike following on Instagram and TikTok. I fell for the giant rodent decades ago.

The unreality of the capybara is partly responsible for its cultlike following on social media. Gary Shteyngart travels from Japan to Argentina to trace the rise of the giant rodent on TikTok and Instagram.
