A Canadian artist built a tiny open-air aircraft and convinced an entire flock of wild geese that he was their mother. Back in 1993, Bill Lishman had a theory that he could teach migratory birds new flight paths from scratch. He started by raising a flock of orphaned Canada geese from the exact moment they hatched. He spent months conditioning the young birds. He got them used to the loud engine noise and the specific shape of his custom ultralight aircraft. When it was time for the birds to head south for the winter, he climbed into the pilot seat and took off from his home in Ontario. The entire flock fell into a perfect V-shaped formation right behind his wings. He led the birds on a multi-day journey across the sky, flying just inches away from them all the way to a wintering ground in Virginia, in the eastern US. He landed, left the birds to settle in, and went back home. The real test came the following spring. Without any guidance or the sound of the aircraft engine to follow, the geese took off from Virginia. They successfully navigated the exact same route and made it all the way back to Canada completely on their own.

That’s incredible! 🪿✈️ Bill Lishman basically became a real-life father to a flock of geese and taught them a whole new migration route with his ultralight. The fact that they flew back north the next year completely on their own is mind-blowing. No wonder it inspired Fly Away Home. What a beautiful, wild story. Nature + human ingenuity at its finest. Thanks for sharing this, Doc! 🙌

Europeans are not "blocking" US supersized pick up trucks, they are for sale here. We do not buy them because of three reasons. 1 - They are poorly made 2 - They are unreliable 3 - They are stupid ft.com/content/3eb796…

A few weeks ago I had a conversation with an American who genuinely believed Europe and Canada would help the United States in its war with Iran. I asked him why he thought that, given that Trump had spent months threatening to annex Canada and seize Greenland. He went quiet. Then he said he had never heard of any of that. Not that he disagreed. Not that he thought it was exaggerated. He had simply never encountered the information. It had never arrived. This is worth pausing on. Because in every other functioning democracy on earth, that information would have been impossible to avoid. Not because Europeans are smarter or more curious. But because of how news works outside the United States. The BBC and The Daily Telegraph hate each other. Le Monde and Le Figaro disagree on everything. Aftenposten and Dagbladet have been arguing since before most of their readers were born. But they all cover the same events. A threat to annex Canada is not a left-wing story or a right-wing story. It is a story. It runs everywhere. You hear it on the radio driving to work. You see it on the newsstand. Your colleague mentions it at lunch. Facts are not a channel you choose. They are the weather. You step outside and they hit you. The only media ecosystems on earth that work differently are not political opposites of each other. They are North Korea and Russia. Not because the content resembles MAGA content. But because the architecture is the same. In all three cases, outside information does not get filtered or reinterpreted. It gets blocked at the door. A completely parallel reality is built inside, maintained by repetition, and sealed from correction. This is why the rest of the world does not just disagree with MAGA voters on foreign policy. It finds them genuinely disorienting to talk to. Not offensive. Disorienting. Like speaking to someone who is absolutely certain the building has two floors when you are standing on the third. Which brings us to today’s masterclass. And this screenshot says everything. A Trump supporter posted: “Absolute masterclass by Trump. He got the Strait open without any help from Europe and without any boots on the ground.” That post was written on the same day a refinery on Lavan Island burned for hours after the ceasefire was announced. On the same day Iran’s own official statement read “this does not signify the termination of the war.” On the same day Iran kept its toll system, its uranium program, its protocol over the strait, and walked away with sanctions relief and reconstruction aid. The post is not stupid. It is not written by a bad person. It is written by someone who received a completely different set of facts than the rest of the world did. And from inside that information environment, with only that data, the conclusion is perfectly logical. That is what makes it so unsettling. It is not ignorance. It is a sealed universe, doing exactly what sealed universes do. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

“Europe is poor. Europoor! Low GDP. Broke continent.” And honestly, it’s such a lazy argument that it almost answers itself. First, let’s list the typical “Europe is poor” insults the way they actually show up. MAGA, JD Vance and Trump say: Europe is poor Europe is broke Europe has low GDP Europe cannot afford anything without the US Europe is falling behind Europe is a declining continent Now here’s the problem with that whole framing. They are using national level money stats as if they automatically translate into human wellbeing. They do not. GDP is not a quality of life scoreboard. GDP is an activity scoreboard. It counts spending, not thriving. It counts medical bills as “economic activity.” It counts crime cleanup as “economic activity.” It counts lawsuits, admin overhead, and debt servicing as “economic activity.” So in a system where people pay insane amounts for healthcare, childcare, education, insurance, and legal friction, GDP can look fantastic precisely because people are paying through the nose to survive. That’s not “rich.” Meanwhile, Europe deliver more of what people actually want out of life: security, stability, and the ability to breathe without constant financial threat. Because a lot of essential things are cheaper at the point of use, and the social floor is higher. Here’s the practical test I always use: If a society is “richer,” why are normal people more anxious about getting sick, die, going to college, having a baby, or losing a job? If the wealth is real for regular citizens, it should show up as reduced fear and increased stability. And this is where the “Europe is poor” insult collapses. Europe’s money is distributed in a way that buys normal life outcomes: •Longer lives •Lower infant mortality •Lower homicide rates •Far fewer people in prison •Safer workplaces •Less life wrecking education debt You can scream “low GDP” all day, but you cannot argue with “people are living longer and safer lives.” Also, that “Europe is poor” claim is usually based on cherry picking. Europe is a collection of wealthy advanced economies, many of which are among the richest in the world by any sane standard. The idea that Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, the Nordics, etc. are “poor” is clown talk. It’s propaganda aimed at Americans who have never checked anything beyond a meme. “They keep yelling ‘Europe is poor’ because GDP is the only metric where they feel safe. But GDP measures spending, not wellbeing. Europe turns money into longer lives, safer streets, less debt, and fewer people in cages. If that’s ‘poor,’ then their definition of ‘rich’ is just suffering.” Europe converts its resources into human life better. That’s the whole game. Stay connected, Follow Gandalv @Microinteracti1

@Microinteracti1 Lazy?! These figures have been torn apart 6 ways to Sunday. For instance, infant mortality is measured completely different in Europe. Every one of items on your list is debatable.

A year ago, Donald Trump took office. Today, America is weaker, poorer, less respected, less free, less equal, more corrupt, more cruel, more afraid, more divided, and more isolated. Trump First has meant America Last.

People think I do all the cooking for myself and my husband because I have some trad belief that men don’t belong in the kitchen. The truth is that I am Italian and my husband is English, and I do not believe any English person of any gender belongs in my kitchen.
