Are you ready for some hope and good news?


There are win-win solutions for humans and the environment. Agroforestry / permaculture is the way.

Thursday morning update! The Concordia admin's intimidation tactics have proven a resounding failure, as most profs in striking departments have canceled class or refused to cross picket lines. Security guards appear wary of escalation, and pickets are proceeding as planned.


This is how the likely next Canadian prime minister is running his caucus


"Everybody is being watched. What we say, what we do, who we talk to. We're told not to fraternize with MPs from the other parties."

When fools give him power, this is how this autocrat (who claims to promote "freedom") will treat the whole country.

Here's alt text for the image:

A social media post showing an urgent callout for community members to assemble at the Human Rights Monument. The image shows several police officers in discussion with civilians, with text overlay emphasizing the urgency of the situation and the need for community support. The post claims Ottawa Police are refusing the right to peaceful assembly.

Mastodon is great, but to make it even better for professional use it might help if something like the "top-links" in the "catch-up" (Beta) window of #phanpy (phanpy.social/ ) is the home page by default for all users. These top-links are sorted by the number of times boosted by the ones *you follow*. This could be useful for #science, to highlight most important developments (e.g. publications) in your network. Now you easily miss them, causing some colleagues to leave.

Using Mastodon is only one way to participate in the fediverse. It wasn't even the first. There have always been a range of apps you can use, many of which have features Mastodon lacks;

Existing professional tools can be modified to communicate over ActivityPub too, see;

#Plastic rubbish on beaches, from space.
"The satellite imagery tool developed by RMIT University scientists picks up differences in how sand, water and plastics reflect light, allowing plastics to be spotted on shorelines from more than 600km above"
The Beached Plastic Debris Index is now a thing.

the only way I think it would be feasible is if you have free access to a very big catalogue, like some public institutions, but then again, each image would have a very different acquisition angle and/or GSD, and you won't be able to repeat the analysis frequently.

VHR imagery has too many limitations when your are not the DoD or a very very big company.

Buried alive

The director of the besieged and under-fire Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza said his hospital has received phone calls from civilians trapped alive under buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes, but there was no way to rescue them.

โ€œSadly, the next day, their voices were gone, and they were counted among the dead, with their homes becoming their graves.โ€

โ€œThis scene is repeated daily.โ€

Israel this morning bulldozed the last remaining building in the Umm Al-Hiran Bedouin village of the Negev (Naqab) desert, a mosque, to make way for the construction of Jewish-only settlements.
