Collecting data for Monarch Migration? (lemmy.world)
 

https://map.projectmonarch.org/

We now have tiny trackers that are being put on Monarch butterflies to track their migration. They use GPS and bluetooth. Citizen scientists download the app on their phone and when a tagged Monarch flies near their phone, the data is updated with its location and stored data.

Now that we have bluetooth working on Home Assistant, is there anyone who knows how we could get an integration to identify these butterflies and update the master database?

I'd definitely set some sensors up outside to help this project.

Trump signs executive order to change Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ | CNN Politics (www.cnn.com)
 

President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday afternoon to change the name of Lake Ontario to “Lake America,” his latest escalation as he engages in a tense trade war with Canada.

“‘Lake of America’ was something I’ve been thinking about for a long time,” Trump said from the Oval Office. “We have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean. So, maybe we’ll have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe we’ll change them both.”

Surrounded by large maps of the Great Lakes, Trump said the name change was “effective immediately,” and that his staff had “filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else.” A White House aide claimed the lake “has most of its volume in the United States” and that the “deepest parts” are in US territory.
