Whales as it turns out, have a language made up of what we'd call phonics or codices, like letters in a word, which can be translated by the same kinda programs that translate say, Chinese to English.

AI is About to Talk to Whales! What Will They Tell us?
Scientists are working on an incredible project: to use AI to listen to how sperm whales communicate, to learn their language, and then – slowly but surely – begin talking back.

This is a direct attack on our sovereignty and our doctors. #ElbowsUp 🇨🇦
The U.S. is letting people report Canadian doctors like they’re criminals — you know, for doing their jobs. And no one’s really talking about it yet.
Oh, and apparently our kids' mattresses are full of banned chemicals. Cool cool.

this is fascism
The fact that an entire administration and fully 40% of America thinks it’s ok to send people to a concentration camp in the middle of nowhere,
without an OUNCE of evidence they committed a crime is INSANE!
It’s more shocking and frightening than anything I have seen from my countryman.

When I'm watching CPC supporters railing on about how the Liberals are responsible for inflation, I wonder if these poor brainwashed wretches realize that inflation was a worldwide issue, and Canada came out of the pandemic years in better shape than 90% of the world. #cdnpoli #neverCPC #propaganda

“Mass deportations now! Kick out the immigrants so we can give the hard, dirty, low paying jobs they were doing back to red-blooded American citizens who didn’t want to do them in the first place!”
This chart showing 80% of Americans think it’d be great if more of us worked in factories, while just 20% would actually work in a factory, applies to much of the fake populist promise
They celebrate farmers but don’t want to farm, miners but don’t want to mine, soldiers but don’t want to fight etc
