Well, the timeline is just messing with us now

Someone needs to drop a bunch of gps tracking tags on that thing :D Very cool news about this weird wonderful planet.

Making Canada bigger. I like it.

Eh I've played outer wilds, I'll be fine

You know what, at this point, fine. Take me away, mysterious island.

Promise?

CBC is cautioning against going onto the island, for that very reason (nobody knows if it's safe) But they do say it's fine to go out on a boat and take loads of pictures, which I hope someone does!

Sir Terry Pratchett has warned us about this sort of thing happening.

Yeah that was the "kidding" part, I was referring to the "not kidding" part. It was a sincere question because not everyone does, not an attack.

It would be funny if it was a tugboat, eight barges and a bunch of landscaped soil put together by someone who has just had it with everything

Paging Yan Martel.

No way

That's one of those rare Indigenous Peoples' creation myth turtles that carries the land mass on its back, I think.

How fun for those trees to go for a ride like that! They usually have to stay put.

They think it bumped up against the wooded shore and blended in till a major wind change released it.

👀👀👀well I'm following this NOW

An unidentified floating object

Schrödinger’s island: like Gilligan’s, but more Lost-y.

We’ve definitely been following it here in the Boston suburbs. Much more interesting news than what we’ve been getting lately.

>was found some 30 kilometres northwest After leading authorities on a high speed chase (hand to ear) okay I'm being told that was a *low* speed chase

Yup. Green bushes bumping up against a wooded shoreline: not really noticeable from boat or plane. People forget how big and relatively unpopulated we are.

Lion turtle island. Calling it now.

I get knocked down, but I get up again, you ain't never gonna keep me down.

It’s a lion turtle

Has anyone searched for Gene Kelly or Van Johnson there?

Is it Brigadoon? Can I go there and disappear with them?

Is something else going on?

Alternately, tell him and let’s see if we can re-enact the end of Terry Pratchett’s “Jingo.”

Take care of it asap, is my advice. Those Bond villains are hella difficult to shake once they get dug in.

Yes we are. Here is the @bellingcat.com analysis. bsky.app/profile/bell...

Watch out for the DHARMA Initiative.

He actually lived in Canada for a while.

Are they sure it's not a really big crab?

"It's not causing any trouble right now and hopefully that's the way it stays." I know what he means, but also so ominous when talking about a mysterious island.

shit yes, we’re following this!

"But we really warn people about trying to climb on it, as tempting as it may be." Because it's the carnivorous island from Life of Pi

I just learned about it this morning, pretty fascinating.

Has Trump named it the Island of America yet?

So cool, I'm glad they found it! (Probably for the best since my plan of 'we can drive up to Canada for the long weekend and search for it with kayaks' was not met with enthusiasm by the other parts of the 'we' I was trying to convince.)

it's an isn'tland

*chuckle* Be a good trick to float them over the Rockies😜

Season 4 is so good though! Season 3 definitely drags and wastes entire episodes, but 4 to 5 is great stuff again. Season 6 is half good (flash sideways) half bad (island/jacob stuff)

IS IT AVALON?? IS KING ARTHUR THERE???

We all know it's a UFO base!

Fascinating bit of info, water levels drop forest bog grows. Water levels rise poof! Instant mystery island. Love it
