Blue whales are going eerily silentβ€”and scientists say it’s a warning sign A six-year study off California’s coast shows how marine heat waves and noise pollution are silencing the ocean’s largest singers. Does saving the ocean start with hearing it?

I read this with very deep sadness. www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/arti...

Sunset over the ocean. The sky is shades of pink and orange. There are small birds on some rocks in the water

There is no Christian theology or eschatology that can justify man-made starvation.

Even if people are viewed as enemies, the Scriptures still tell us what to do:

β€œIf your enemies are hungry, feed them.”

The baptized have pledged their allegiance to Jesus Christ, not the Pentagon or the IDF.

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

This is passion.

This is great leadership.

This is about equity.

Absolutely foolish to try to negotiate a deal with him. Canada had a deal that was negotiated with him. He tore it up.

When I was kid, people said they saw them in my rural CB community. A couple of years ago someone saw one while biking on a CB backroad. But it’s funny how even photographic evidence isn’t enough proof…

Excellent piece. Bancroft knows what he’s talking about and it’s fascinating to learn cougars are very likely living in this province as well.

The unfolding story of Camp Mystic brings back some haunting memories for me, about how politicians and officials ignored the evidence, the science, and the precautionary principle and allowed people to die needlessly during the pandemic, all to satisfy economic and political priorities.

It is! Was there a couple of years ago.

Hi Jason, my editor said you (or perhaps someone associated with you) was in Creignish,and presumed it had to do with the fossil. He wanted me to touch base and see what, if anything, was up. Thanks!

After fifty years of reading the Bible I can summarize the politics of the Torah, the Prophets, and Jesus in one sentence:

Make sure everyone has what they need and protect the little people from the big people.

I expect it to be hard to turn left onto central avenue until November. And I can’t believe the road to the beach doesn’t have a crosswalk
