Eby gonna need a dressing change for that bullet wound on his foot soon. Probably the natural gas gave him brain damage.

Well, then let's elect someone who CAN anticipate what someone will do when they are obviously lying.

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

So, not only will it take more than 50 years to pay back the current trans mountain pipeline at the new lower rates, but 60% of that oil is going to the US so it’s not doing a whole lot to diversify. But one more pipeline will fix that right? Right?

From landslide majority to 0 seats is…wow. If this holds up, just wow.

Privatizing airports is a terrible deal for travellers, workers, and the public purse. Around the world, it has led to higher travel costs, fewer jobs and worse working conditions.

Bottom line: voters want candidates who stand for something, who have values that matter more to them than winning elections. When candidates make it clear that they'll say anything to win, voters learn that they can't trust anything those candidates say.

at this point: carbon removal is, at best, essentially a research project. renewable expansion is a policy project

The ultra-wealthy keep trying to pit the rest of us against each other with scare tactics ("communists!" "men in the ladies room!!" "brown people!!!" "drag queens!!!!") to keep us from noticing that our real problem is THEM. They want us to fight *any* war—except a class war. Happy Labor Day.

Remember when Kristen Welker would always ask every Republican guest to repudiate the statements of Nick Fuentes, Jack Posobiec, Benny Johnson, or other MAGA racists? Neither do I.

If you want 1.5C, 1.8C, 2C, overshoot, no-overshoot, etc, then they all require the same thing: rapid short-term emission reductions reaching net zero CO2 emissions as soon as possible. This has been clear from the IPCC Special Report on 1.5C, which depicts "overshoot" on its cover! 1/

What’s your sign?

#ClimateChange is ridiculously expensive! — more so than phasing out fossil fuels. A new study says that NY State will surpass half a trillion dollars on infrastructure spending related to climate change by 2050. Now this is just one state. And one type of cost! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/n...

As temperatures rise, you get more intense fires because a warmer atmosphere dries out the fuel. See www.theclimatebrink.com/p/canadas-bo... In other places, as temperatures increase, you get more intense rainfall because a warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor.

Heard someone call it MAHA Blast and I haven't been able to stop laughing since 🤣😂🤣

Taken together, this is a body of evidence that acknowledges that climate change has moved lower on the list of voters' priorities, but it shows that the recommendation to back away from pro-climate policy commitments is wrong, and likely a vote-loser. [13/13]

Among people open to voting Democrat, making climate a priority yields a 5.9 point boost. Making climate a top priority yields a 7.2 point boost. If the climate hush/climate backlash theory were true, these effects would be negative, not positive! [6/13]

Hi media wildfires don’t start spontaneously! These heat waves are not normal! Maybe you could explain what the cause is! Sheesh!

And yet absolutely no media coverage of it that I’ve seen. I know there are fires because I can smell it (even though I’m far from any of them), but the media isn’t informing me.

This pipeline isn’t nation building. It’s nation burning.

Can reporters please stop asking people convicted of a crime “how do you feel?”. Why not something like “what do you have to say to the victims of your sexual assaults? Are you sorry you took these actions?”

@cbcnews.ca find another food scientist than Sylvain Charlebois challenge: level impossible.

“I think it’s really, really clear where Jews of conscience stand [on Palestine].” Canadian Party Leader @avilewis.ca explains to @mehdirhasan.bsky.social why he identifies as anti-Zionist and believes most North American Jews feel similarly. Watch the full interview: zeteo.com/p/avi-lewis-...

FYI neither of these things have happened in Canada.

A tripling of emissions by 2100 was probably never plausible. But a doubling was. The fact that we're no longer on that path is progress — not, as some pundits claim, an indictment of climate science. And we still have a long way to go get emissions to zero and stabilize global temperatures 11/11

I feel like his skills could have been put to better use at that specific point in time

Looking forward to the post from this guy tomorrow complaining how he’s getting cancelled on Bluesky. (Btw, yes I’ve had a verified case of COVID this winter despite being vaccinated in the fall)

Reminder that “UBI provides a disincentive to work” is just fancy repackaging of “the poor are poor because they refuse to work hard to better themselves”. (And before you @ me, yes there are valid arguments against UBI - even though I don’t agree with them, but this isn’t a valid one)

This isn’t an issue. EV batteries last longer than most people seem to think. That doesn’t mean someone who’s barely scraping by can afford to buy one (the main point in this thread), but if you do need to buy, there’s not much need to fear a battery about to die. Check the SOH. That’s it.

Today in AI: Canada rejected the PR application of a McMaster postdoc from the Sorbonne who works in the immunology of aging because the generative AI being used to process applications (😱) entirely hallucinated her credentials. Everyone involved should be fired. archive.is/ELrCI#select...

In other words: if the GOP just took the offer on the table, FEMA, Coast Guard, and TSA would all be funded at normal levels and ICE would have ~3x historic levels because of BUB. And yet they are demanding more in spite of an obvious lack of need.

So here's the thing. All of these are true: 1. Limit your UPF consumption because most UPFs are crap. 2. It's not the processing that makes them crap. It's the garden-variety stuff like sugar, fat, and calories that make them crap. 3. Research on UPFs is also crap. Thanks for listening.
