Goddamned Mezolithic Megafauna’s what that is. Goddamned warranty expired on those things centuries ago, but do they care? Do they go decently extinct, like the ground sloth, gigantopethicus, or wooly rhino? Fuck that, they’re doing downhill runs on your favorite skiing course is what. Because Fuck it, is why.
Now I understand why moose are built the way they are.
It’s so they can gallop untrammelled through six-odd feet of snow.
Jesus Christ I read those mother fuckers could run 55km an hour but seeing it is another thing especially plowing through the snow
If a full semi trailer rig hits a moose, that semi trailer rig is tattered, useless pieces of its former self.
The moose just gets up, tries to figure out what the fuck just slapped its ass, and goes back into the woods when it finds there’s nothing around to mate with.
A moose sat on one of my uncles’ car. Totalled the car. Just sat down and rested for a bit
There is a tale in the mate’s childhood neighborhood of the moose who had marital relations with a car.
Firefighters are still battling massive wildfires that forced mass evacuations of some 80,000 people earlier this week in Alberta, Canada.
Canadian police are escorting a convoy of evacuees through the wreckage, CBC News reports, out of the oil sands camps where they had been staying since Tuesday. As many as 8,000 people have been airlifted to safety, reporter Dan Karpenchuk tells our Newscast unit.
People needed to be taken out of the camps because of limited food and fuel, he says.
A monstrous wildfire has forced 80,000 residents to flee Fort McMurray, Alta. Several have lost their homes and belongings to the fire, while others even left behind their pets as they escaped under a mandatory evacuation order.
Here are some of the ways to help those affected:
Donate money online:
The Red Cross has started an emergency appeal for help. To donate $5 by phone, text REDCROSS to 30333. The Alberta government said Wednesday it will match donations to the Red Cross.
The Wood Buffalo Food Bank is accepting donations through PayPal on its website.
The Salvation Army is also collecting financial donations online.
Emergency shelter:
Airbnb has activated its Disaster Response Tool to help provide free shelter until May 21. Residents in nearby areas can list their properties on the website.
Those able to provide accommodations can also sign up on website YMMfire.ca.
Displaced pets:
The Fort McMurray SPCA is working to reunite displaced residents with pets they were forced to leave behind. They are accepting donations to help efforts.
The Edmonton Humane Society is preparing to accept animals left without owners, and provide temporary shelter to pets with owners who have left their homes.
Social media efforts:
Facebook group Fort Mac Fire Donations is crowdsourcing donations for items such as toiletries, socks and pillows, as needed.
On Twitter, people are offering help through hashtags such as #ymmfire and #ymmhelp
Hey could you guys signal boost this, please? :) There’s a huge wildfire in a city in my province and it’s evacuated 88,000 people, there have already been 1,600 buildings destroyed and apparently tonight it’s supposed to get even worse. The province of Alberta is now officially in a state of emergency. Please signal boost, it would mean a lot to me! <3
The PM of Canada understands quantum mechanics, and here in the States half the people in the running for President don’t even understand why forcing people to use the wrong bathroom is reprehensible, or that brown people are you know, people…
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took time on Monday to celebrate the Sikh spring harvest festival Vaisakhi with fellow Canadians on Ottowa’s Parliament Hill. Trudeau posted pictures of the celebration, thanking Sikhs for their contribution to the country. This isn’t the first time Trudeau has taken steps for Sikh representation.
my mom phoned me today and told me that someone in my hometown had robbed the pharmacy at gunpoint but the pharmacist started having an anxiety attack and the robbers were so worried about her they offered to call her an ambulance while they were robbing her
