Once-common shorebirds in the Bay Area are collapsing some down 80% in a decade.
We’ve lost 80–90% of tidal marshes, diverted water, hardened coasts, added nonstop recreation, and put people + off-leash dogs everywhere birds need to feed and rest.

After a few months of getting our flippers wet, we realized something: Gander is a bit of an odd duck in tech, especially in how it gets built and supported.
Traditional venture capital funding doesn't fit a benefit company like ours. Likewise with a lot of government programs.

Great news! Councillors Menard and Johnson have brought notice of their intent to ask City Council to vote on developing compensation for OC Transpo riders. I hope residents will talk to their councillor about supporting it!

It will be interesting to see how this does shape #Ottawa #Autowa Concerns about infrastructure are valid IMO - such as a functional #Transit system. If you’re planning #TransitOrientedDevelopment then you need transit that actually transports multiple users efficiently…

Offloading the LRT saves us money, but distances and muddles our chances at any form of accountability. Just ask Toronto how great the Ontario Government is.
It is starting to feel that people might just want to get the lead anchor off ones neck.

It is conventional wisdom that the Washington Post's current death spiral and was caused by the Harris endorsement fiasco. I actually think it was these endorsements in January 2025.

Fossil fuels + biofuels use high levels of water in extraction, production + in energy generation, says IEA. If governments pursue the most ambitious net zero targets, water use in the energy sector could reduce by 20 billion cubic metres by 2030.

These words demand attention.
“In a real sense this is holy ground, consecrated by blood spilled here. The cost is high, and so I had to be here to stand in the very place where this tragedy unfurled… I think we’re at a defining moment for our country…” ~ Rev Warnock
Take a moment, so much more…
