Today in History: February 4th

On this day in 1937, the animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs came out in theaters nationwide. In a series of maneuvers that critics described as “Disney's folly,” producer Walt Disney mortgaged his home &sold his car in order to pay production costs.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

When the United States passed the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850, it led many to seek freedom outside the USA.
From 1850 and 1860, between 15,000 to 20,000 escaped enslaved persons came to the Province of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
This is the story.

AI-generated media that shows unusual and inaccurate animal behavior is on the rise online. To experts, it's clear which AI-developed media is fake - but to the untrained eye, it can be less obvious and can contribute to misinformation and fear. This can undermine years of conservation efforts.

Very powerful and important. The Alberta separatists are a low IQ collective living in a fantasy of their own creation. Alberta is not separating. It just isn't.
Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation (undoubtedly to the frustration of certain KC’s and separatist leaders)…

Are making it clear that they can speak for themselves.

A new fact sheet blows absolute holes in a LOT of the separatist lies.

The Trump administration continues on its path to destroying everything. Its latest decision approves a highway corridor running through Utah’s Red Cliffs National Conservation Area after the Bureau of Land Management reversed a 2024 ruling that had denied the route.

Buckley, the mule deer, found a nice shady spot to hang out this morning.

Saw him as I was walking the dogs. Dogs have been trained to sit & wait for a treat when they see deer, they sit, treat, quick photo & off we go without disturbing the deer or in this case, Buckley.

Just look at those ears!

#Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently announced that a gray wolf, known as wolf 2305, died on Jan. 28 in Routt County during a collaring operation.

Every wolf matters in Colorado’s small, recovering population, and we are saddened by his loss.

Our work to save them continues ➡️ bit.ly/4ata9jb

Bundle up when out in the cold, unless you’re an Arctic fox!

Arctic foxes have compact bodies that help minimize surface area exposed to cold air. Their short muzzle, ears, and legs help conserve heat, and their thick fur allows them to maintain a consistent body temperature!
