Florida dumped half a million oyster shells into the Gulf of Mexico. No one expected the results to be this good.

Dumping trash into the ocean seems like a bad idea, right? Wrong.

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

It has been over 11 years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada released its 93 calls to action.

Since then, 14 of them have been completed.

That is just 15%. In over a decade.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.

“Studying Paulinella, scientists hope, will elucidate one of the most fundamental transitions in the history of life on our planet — and possibly give clues to how it might happen elsewhere in the universe. It could also provide practical insights on how to engineer photosynthetic organisms”

A scrappy science project led to a significant discovery: two new species of a rare organism that could elucidate a fundamental transition in the history of life on our planet.
