‘Stone-cold killers’: New Zealand to eradicate feral cats by 2050 Feral cats are already caught and killed in some areas but will now be subject to coordinated targeting, with large-scale eradication programs

The eradication of feral cats in New Zealand is fantastic for its native wildlife (a policy which Australia should replicate). But one can't help but wonder if domestic cats will simply re-seed the feral population in due time.

Hey Nitish, thanks 4 the link to my site via mention of Doomberg's anonymity. I'd actually written a part 2 to the piece you linked to, a followup in which I thoroughly outed Doomberg's identity. I unfortunately had to take it down, although perhaps it'll resurface again at some point down the line.

She also said "Leave me the fuck alone!" a couple of times. Perhaps she'd just watched Radiohead's video for "Just" a few times too many.

There's a thing on the internet about the world ending on Sept. 23:

Today I saw an adherent lie down in the middle of the street screaming "The world is ending!" and (I think) "I am Gorgon and I am joy!"

Expect a lot more of this craziness in the future.

The American education system (which is a bit of an oxymoron) is such a shitshow that nothing could possibly make it worse.

Stephen Miller: "Hold my beer".

Americans: Doing their civic duty of fighting back against Trump by... watching Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Jon Stewart, and South Park.

The island that banned hives: can honeybees actually harm nature? On a tiny Italian island, scientists conducted a radical experiment to see if the bees were causing their wild cousins to decline

A concerning read for us (ecologically conscious) beekeepers, honey eaters, & anybody else who eats food pollinated by honeybees (which is virtually all of us): honeybees can have a detrimental effect on native pollinators, & on the health of native flora.

NEW POST 👉 Part 3/5: Perhaps there's an exception to the generalisation that making it into the upper echelons of the banking world implies adherence to "the pursuit of wealth and the maximization of profit". If so, it would appear that Mark Carney is not that exception.

If you want to talk sovereignty, yes, 34 years ago today 🇺🇦 declared its independence from the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, 211 years ago today 🇨🇦 also undertook an act of sovereignty, as that's the day, in 1814, that Canadians traveled south & burned down the White House.

Slava Ukraini & Vive le Canada!

For any fellow 🇨🇦Canadians🇨🇦 out there who celebrate this momentous day, happy August 24th!

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

Federal government rescinds digital services tax to advance trade talks with U.S. Canada, U.S. expected to resume negotiations after Trump called off talks over tax on tech giants

Canada is apparently now open to changing its domestic policies to appease Trump. Seems a very slippery slope...

YouTube video by Detroit Free Press Donald Trump ends trade talks with Canada, announces new tariffs coming over digital service tax

When it comes to 🇺🇸/🇨🇦 relations, Trump says 🇺🇸 holds all the cards.

But Trump also said to Zelenskyy that he had no cards. A few weeks later, 🇺🇦 undertook Operation Spiderweb, revealing it had cards.

🇨🇦, likewise, has cards. Expect Operation #MTWHBDA.

I can’t be certain what caused the Air India crash, but there’s one thing my pilot’s eyes can’t ignore At this early stage, I’m reluctant to label this accident “human error” but it’s worth observing that at around the time the aircraft started its terminal descent into the ground, the undercarriage wa...

"The key question here is – were the flaps retracted after take-off instead of the undercarriage?"

In this new era of "brain fog"-addled COVID aviation, it wouldn't be surprising if human error led to the crash.

Album cover for "The Devil Rides Again" by Adrian Raso and Fanfare Ciocarlia

It's out! The new album by acclaimed Canadian guitarist Adrian Raso and the Romanian monsters of brass Fanfare Ciocarlia, "The Devil Rides Again".

Gotta admit, it's been stuck on repeat for the past few hours now.

Let's not exaggerate Trump's effect on the 🇨🇦 election. Yes, Carney wouldn't have won were it not for Trump's threats. That being said, if Trudeau had of ran in the same political climate instead of Carney, he wouldn't have won either. Both factors (Trump & Carney) were needed for the Liberal win.

I'm here for all the War of 1812 jokes (this one via @22-minutes.bsky.social), fittingly on this auspicious election day for Canada.

Glad to see Fanfare Ciocarlia was smart enough to cancel/postpone their planned concert dates in the US.

I'm sure Canada, Australia and NZ would be glad to stand in for those dates.

Australian with working visa detained and deported on returning to US from sister’s memorial Man who says he had previously left and re-entered the country multiple times alleges border officials called him ‘retarded’ and boasted ‘Trump is back in town’

Why anybody is crossing the US border nowadays is beyond me, especially non-citizens/immigrants vacationing out of country and, as in this case, those making quick trips to their home country.

Are they not paying attention, or do they just think they're special?
