Let me introduce myself. I'm a professor @usask.bsky.social at the University of Saskatchewan. My group works on invasive wild pigs, caribou, wolves, and other beasties. I take the responsibility of my academic freedom very seriously and use it and good science to hopefully have some influence.

What is the socioeconomic, cultural, and geographical position of Nuremberg in Germany?

Just wondering where we should hold our own trials in the US, and what we should call them. The Peoria Trials? The Ft. Worth Trials? The Detroit Trials? The Bakersfield Trials?

You lost me at MDPI.

I don't read, forward, review for, or publish anything in the deeply corrupt MDPI group and have them blocked in email.

Murdered. The word you are looking for is murdered.

The reports of violence, arbitrary arrests, and intimidation tactics by the AMERICAN regime against its own people are profoundly concerning. Canada strongly condemns the killing of protesters, and urges AMERICA to allow for freedom of expression and peaceful assembly without fear of reprisal.

I stared at this advert for longer than I should have -- could be good for arctic fieldwork - feed a field crew of 20 for a couple of months, 3 meals per day for 36 days straight.

2,160 servings is a lot but we can feed people in remote locations a lot cheaper than $8.84 per serving

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts.

Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

You mean the same Evan Solomon that was fired from the CBC for doing backroom art deals, with individuals that include MARK CARNEY who at the time was Bank of Canada Governor and Jim Balsillie of Blackberry?

I have very serious doubts about the 'dragging' incident. In the past and now with this latest incident I'm sure it is all a big fat lie. They are lying liars that lie, dirty scumbag nazi bastards.

I could understand not showing it if it was still idle speculation, but the Strib, the Intercept and numerous other reputable publications have all independently verified it.

Star Tribune identifies ICE agent who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis

Jonathan Ross was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to court records.

So far the ICE murder agent has not been named as far as I can tell. They wear masks specifically for this reason and don't have name tags (police are required to).

According to Kristi Noem (who will get impeached shortly over this), the same officer was involved in a similar incident in June 2025

I was searching google for a paper that @mikeytabak.bsky.social had written and just got the name typed in and google suggested some options..

Has the interweb named the ICE guy that murdered the woman in Minnesota?

Bear E4? Genetics show he has no prior history in western or southern Hudson Bay & suggests that he was visiting from Foxe Basin & just "went home" after a southern spring fling. There's a lot of gene flow between the 3 populations in the Bay & he was just looking for love.

My wife and I on the Hudson Bay coast way back in August 2004. Good times.

I got about as sick as I've ever been with this latest influenza A but I'm glad I was vaccinated well before getting it. It very likely kept me from being even sicker.

Avoiding hospital time and death is a big motivator for me personally.
