If any of you are under the impression that our billionaires might succeed in "escaping" to space, while the world burns, let me put those fears to rest with what I know from being the spouse of a NASA flight controller. 🧵

Overnight snow before a sharp-tailed grouse lek survey offered some insight into their dancing style! The left tracks are from a male doing his fancy foot work, while the tracks on the right show a normal walking pattern.

You may think this is just a picture of a red-tailed hawk getting dinner. But actually it’s trying to remove some sort of scrap metal litter someone left out that got stuck in it’s talons. PLEASE PICK UP YOUR TRASH.. 1/2

Loving our new ELA HQP discussion logo thanks to HQPer @cdrobich. We are having weekly meetings that will give the HQPs on this multi-institution project, spread out across several regions, a chance to get together each week to discuss, share, connect, and learn from each other.

Oh hey, the Alberta Government did one of those 4:52 p.m. news releases. They're cancelling 11 recently issued coal leases. That might sound significant but the affected areas are very small additions (black) to much larger existing coal leases (grey) in the area. #ableg

Let’s not forget that Proud Boys originated in Canada. In Ottawa in fact. And McInnis’s first foray into right wing extremism was an article he wrote in 2005 for a white supremacist website. I was one of the targets of that article and got many death threats because of it.
