pokemon are always doing shit like "Drowzee used Crazy Floor! Drowzee started getting funky" and it won't tell you what that means. top competitive strategies will revolve around getting funky.

Introducing: Quantum 101 with Katie Mack
Introducing: Quantum 101 with Katie Mack YouTube video by Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics

Strong recommend if you are interested in cosmology. The videos are succinct – most around 6 minutes long – and the explanations are satisfying. Same goes for the "Quantum 101" videos.

N.S. Premier defends budget cuts amid protests at Province House The province cut $104 million in spending across departments including grants to community agencies and programming.

Tim Houston suggests that the NDP organized yesterday’s β€œsave the arts” rally outside Province House.

How out of touch with reality do you have do be to think the arts and cultural community can’t organize a protest?

Life moves so fast. Take a breath and slow things down, like a group of people walking five abreast at the airport.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

They’ve been claiming Iran is on the verge of developing nuclear weapons for as long as I can remember. The US isn’t even bothering to come up with a different lie than the one they used to sell the Iraq war. Except this time the Canadian government is supporting them.

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

A grade 11 student outlined in detail the impact of ending the free youth student transit pass - the passes offer independence, allow youth to get to school, work, extracurricular activities. The youth, Teddie Rafe, urges people to contact their MLA

Hundreds of programs to see provincial funding cut as part of $130M grant reductions | CBC News The grant cuts will affect community organizations across the province, including programs related to the arts, sports, health, seniors and youth.

One of the worst things about modern politics is how real choices aren't presented as decisions are made.
I wonder how people would really have felt about the 1% HST cut if they knew it would mean all of this being cut. But we, the body politic, didn't get to consider those two things together!

"We're facing a $1.2 billion shortfall over the next four years. What are you big ideas?"

"We should plant fewer flowers in business districts, except in my community, where there should be more flowers. This will save $300"

Four years ago I woke up at 5 am from distant explosions. I asked my boyfriend if he heard them too, he said he didn’t and I should go back to sleep. I tried to calm myself down, went on the internet, it was silent, no news or explanations.

No animal alive today is β€˜primitive’ – why are so many still labeled that way? All species alive today, from chimpanzees to bacteria, are cousins that each have equally long lineages, rather than ancestors or descendants of one another.

The idea that humans sit atop an evolutionary hierarchy dates back to 1866, when a scientist drew the first tree of life with "Man" at the top. This inaccurate view still shapes how we think of the animal world, despite decades of genomic evidence proving evolution has no hierarchy.

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so
