I someone had told me 10 years ago that the war against wokeness would bring us back to Times New Roman... Satire is dead

Letting your cat outside might seem like harmless fun and good exercise for the animal, but it actually poses a serious risk to wildlife. Cats kill an estimated 2.5 billion birds every year, making them one of the leading causes of bird mortality. But it’s not just birds. Cats also prey on insects like butterflies and moths as well as small mammals during their outdoor excursions, and in turn, disturb the area’s biodiversity. https://onehealth.uoguelph.ca/2022/02/28/outdoor-cats-a-threat-to-more-than-just-birds/#:~:text=Letting%20your%20cat%20outside%20might,leading%20causes%20of%20bird%20mortality. #Subtoot

I just opened a 700 word document... 65 non breaking spaces (for absolutely no reason, randomly in the middle of sentences) 55 carriage returns ... Whyyyyyy

I hope that everyone who has an advent calendar is getting excited!

Ah, here he is again. The real Ford. -- Ontario Premier Doug Ford is threatening to audit all provincial spending to determine whether public-sector unions are “funnelling” money to “left-wing radical groups” that staged a protest inside the Ontario legislature. Ford’s warning came one day after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN Canada interrupted the Ontario Legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that increases various landlord powers and shortens some eviction timelines. #onpoli

Omg, we're such a joke and a menace. Well deserved :face_melting: --- Canada received Tuesday’s Fossil of the Day award at the COP30 climate summit in Belém, Brazil. The award, bestowed by Climate Action Network International, recognizes the country deemed to have done the most each day to slow down global progress in response to climate change. CAN International chose Canada “with a heavy heart,” the network said in a release, “because the new government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has flushed years of climate policies down the drain, and is completely ‘Missing In Action’ at a COP where multilateralism needs to be saved. In addition to the backsliding on policies tackling Canada’s climate-destroying pollution, his Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin has chosen inaction and silence where leadership was urgently needed.” On the domestic front, the release adds, the Carney government has “systematically dismantled a decade of progress” in climate policy. #cdnpoli

"Your expertise is sincerely appreciated" ... We never get told things like that. Feels so good to hear, especially with AI being used all the time in translation :face_holding_back_tears:

I always get worried when I move the feeders to the back porch in the winter (I wouldn't be able to access them in the middle of the winter to refill them!). What if the birds don't feel safe anymore?? Well, the five goldfinches, the downy woodpecker and the juncos are already proving me wrong this morning! So much singing to be heard from the mudroom 💜 #birding

HAHAHA come on --- Canadian military will rely on an army of public servants to boost its ranks by 300,000 Federal public servants would be trained to shoot guns, drive trucks and fly drones, according to a defence department directive. Federal and provincial employees would be given a one-week training course in how to handle firearms, drive trucks and fly drones. Medical coverage would be provided for their annual military service, but that time would not count towards their pensions (!!!!!!!), the directive pointed out. #cdnpoli https://archive.ph/zqcZH
