Detroit air quality is worst in city’s recorded history from Canadian wildfires
Wildfire smoke pushes Detroit's air quality to record hazardous levels, with readings above EPA scale. Hospitals see surge in patients.

I'll edit several video clips of this cute weirdo later, but here's an adorable little baby rissos dolphin
There are approx 13,000 rissos dolphins on the west coast, and based off my own encounters, I imagine there are about 1 in 120 babies, right now there may be as few as 110 swimming around! 🦑 🐬
