Furry Friends

I had been told years ago that if you were hiking with at least six people, bears would not bother you. It seems some bears didn’t get that memo or the other one regarding pepper spray. Too bad someone in the group didn’t have a gun on them, but that promotes disharmony with nature. A ban on hunting these animals couldn’t possibly have led to them losing their fear of humans either. And so on.

“It’s the ecosystem being out of balance that means grizzly bears are getting desperate,” he said, citing recent clear-cutting and forest fires pushing bears from of their habitat.

He dismissed suggestions that bears may be more aggressive before hibernation because the animals do not look to human prey. Scapillati said he worried about pro-hunting groups using the attack to spread inaccurate information about bears being aggressive. “That’s so inappropriate at a time when we’re focused on holding the children and families and all those affected in our hearts and focused on them,” Scapillati said.

Echo Chamber

Only customers with obsessive compulsive disorder would be bothered by any strike. The rest will just buy their latte at the myriad of coffee shops that can be found down the street from every Starbucks.

Starbucks Workers United said stores in 45 cities would be impacted, including New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, San Diego, St. Louis, Dallas, Columbus, Ohio, and Starbucks’ home city of Seattle. There is no date set for the strike to end, and more stores are prepared to join if Starbucks doesn’t reach a contract agreement with the union, organizers said.

Y2Kyoto: Out With The Old Grift

In with the new.

In a stunning and significant pushback to the “doomsday” climate activist community, Bill Gates, a leading proponent for carbon emissions reductions, published a remarkable essay Tuesday that argued resources must be shifted away from the battle against climate change.

Instead, Gates argues, the world’s philanthropists must increase their investment in other efforts aimed at preventing disease and hunger.

Climate change is not going to wipe out humanity, he argued, and past efforts that strive for achieving zero carbon emissions have made real progress. But Gates said that past investments fighting climate change have been misplaced, and too much good money has been put into expensive and questionable efforts.

Indeed: He does this one step ahead of the law of con men eventually being caught.

@feelsdesperate It’s amazing how AI came along with its massive energy needs and in a blink they just dropped ‘climate.’

Art Of The Loser

Taking advice from Warren Kinsella on Canada-US relations is like buying furniture for your girlfriend thinking your wife won’t find out.

Good Riddance

One down, one to go.

“For more than 20 years under their ownership, Ben & Jerry’s stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world,” he wrote. “That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever, one that enshrined our social mission and values in the company’s governance structure in perpetuity. It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.”

Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself

Oops.

Sir Keir Starmer has said he would “never” have appointed Peter Mandelson as his ambassador to the US if he had known the full details of his relationship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In his first comments since sacking Lord Mandelson, Sir Keir said the Labour peer went through a proper due diligence process before his appointment, but he added: “Had I known then what I know now, I’d have never appointed him.”

Sir Keir gave public backing to Lord Mandelson in the Commons on Wednesday only to sack him the following day.

I See A Crazy Mann

Steve Guest;

Senior administrator at the University of Pennsylvania Michael Mann is on an unhinged generational run on X, reposting comments calling Charlie Kirk the “head of Trump’s Hitler Youth.”

Mann also wrote: “The white on white violence has gotten out of hand.”

Does UPENN agree with their Director Center for Science, Sustainability & the Media?

REMINDER: Mann previously called for people to take up arms and form a militia against Trump.

Is what happened to Charlie what Mann wants to happen to POTUS?

FACT: According to court documents, Mann was sanctioned for “knowingly feeding the jury false data” in a manner of misconduct that was “extraordinary in its scope, extent, and intent.”
