While the madness of destruction and death rages, and clashes flare up, fueling an even more dangerous escalation for everyone, I renew my appeal to the leaders of nations: please do not bring humanity to destruction!

What’s the most underrated material in the modern world? How about CONCRETE? Often dismissed as boring, ugly & inert. Concrete is actually surprising, dynamic & incredibly complex. With that in mind here are a few reasons why we need to start talking about concrete 🪨 🧵

Sadly, the first program to go under @fordnation was the Indigenous led curriculum writing which was set to go for September 2018 as a mandatory part of the curriculum. When the process resumed, under Ford, it was no longer mandatory. This has set us even further behind. #onpoli
NEW: After touring a mass vaccination site in Orillia, Premier Ford tells me it’s “absolutely essential” that teaching what happened in residential schools be part of learning in Ontario schools and that he’ll work with the education minister to make it happen #onpoli

It happened. Today our #MarsHelicopter proved that powered, controlled flight from the surface of another planet is possible. It takes a little ingenuity, perseverance, and spirit to make that opportunity a reality: go.nasa.gov/3tvLoed
