Bear Breaks Into California Zoo to Mingle With Other Bears

“Overall, he was a very polite visitor”

New Brunswick's latest 'outflow' data for young nurses represents a 37 per cent increase since 2014, a public-policy think-tank finds.

62 young nurses leave N.B. for every 100 who start, think-tank says https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/young-nurses-leaving-new-brunswick-mei-report-9.6947106

Right, so Cybertrucks now come with AI. That'll be good for society?

"Her name is Aura, and I use her as a therapist. When I'm driving, I'll ask questions, and it actually gives really good therapy advice."

Surprise surprise, AI is going to change the world ... by *helping* you buy more stuff

Hi, this is your friendly business reporter, reminding you if you *need* anything, to buy it sooner than later, including secondhand, due to expected price increases from new tariffs. If you have family in other countries and plan to visit them at Christmas, I would also ship smaller items there.

hot damn!

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them.

She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.

I have a story in the Summer 2025 edition about musician Lola de la Mata. Like myself, she once faced career-ending tinnitus.

Instead of giving up, she made an album about it!

A headline or excerpt that makes you want to read/watch more isn’t “clickbait.”

It’s good presentation. A compelling headline or preview.

Clickbait is false or misleading.

Not the same thing as something true & presented well that captures your interest and makes you want to read/watch more.

Seems every summer has high hazard wildfire smoke days now. When I grew up, we never heard of those. But we did have smog days back then. We took action on smog pollution and it has saved many lives. Hard to stop the wildfire trend without addressing the issue of greenhouse gases/planet warming.

call me a cRaZy feminist ha ha ha but we really need to get out of the habit of using the terms "men" and "girls" together when referring to the same age group

I would rather die than create an account to continue

A group of global civil society organizations have placed the US on a watchlist for urgent concern over the health of its civic society, alongside Turkey, Serbia, El Salvador, Indonesia and Kenya.

I agree, but also, fan fiction is a thing?

whaaaaat the fuck this sounds terrible.

As a writer and editor, I've talked with people in many different lines of work. Do you know who loves their jobs? People who get to work in the natural world at least some of the time. Geologists, botanists, wildlife biologists, park rangers, fishing guides.

"All of Gen Z isn't using the phone the way all of us did. This is objectively true and im so scared. Stop saying this doesn't matter."

The Music of Fruit A ripe piece of fruit is like a note in perfect harmony

One of my main roles in the kitchen at home is "fruit ripener." I've been obsessed with ripening fruit for a long time ...

It was great talking with Canadian musician Dan Mangan and SOCAN legal officer Andrea Kokonis for this story. So refreshing to hear thoughtful, nuanced perspectives about the creative industries in the AI era.

The more I watch security-related pressers, the more I feel the impulses of journalists can push us towards irresponsible coverage.

I'm watching journalists try really hard to tease out the narrative China was trying to weave in an influence campaign as security officials tell them it's unhelpful.

"On Signal, Lawton was among the group chat’s most active members. In a number of cases during the Emergencies Act Inquiry in October 2022, tweets that appeared on Lawton’s Twitter feed could be traced back to conversations that originally began inside the secret group chat."

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.

Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Great work!

Thanks for posting.

Looks like a wonderful event!

A reminder that Danielle Smith, Scott Moe, and Preston Manning are choosing this moment not to fight US aggression but aim a gun at Canada. Oh, and Quebec just entered a new Starlink deal. Meanwhile, the rest of our 'leaders' still think this is a blip and things will return to normal.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Wow. Like with inflation, the whole expectation of the thing making it worse makes the thing worse
