Trying to explain Albertan separatism to Europeans like "The Resource Extraction Province wants to separate from the Resource Extraction Country because they believe the Resource Extraction Federal Governments are insufficiently supportive of resource extraction." and bring met with blank stares.

Bizarre argument - does this guy thing that Canadians have stopped drinking alcohol *entirely*?

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov

Without American wine on Canadian shelves, Canadians are also missing out on tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue they would obtain from selling our wine.

Every interview with an Alberta separatist is like: "We're dead serious about this, it's not a bluff!" [Two minutes later] "Well, we don't really want to leave Canada, we just want everyone to know we're very special and give us the extra special stuff that we want"

"Sell all my video games on ebay" is so funny, because all the annoying things about selling stuff online is not the computer part, is the packing them up and taking them to the post office part

No that same person posted this it’s somehow even sadder than you think

Saying this because CBC's coverage of the Alberta separatist referendum has been making me scream at the radio. You do not have to accept the framing of separatists who retreat into meta discourse about how good it is that we're all having a great conversation now

Economic stimulus idea for @markcarney: you can run the carbon capture machines on tar sand diesel generators and plug the exhaust of the diesel generators right into the air input of the CCS so we can maximize both diesel consumption and carbon capture, it's a perfect positive feedback loop

According to the International Energy Agency, total global investment in solar energy (including both rooftop solar and utility-scale projects) was less than half of this figure, despite our dire ecological situation

Global fuel subsidies may top $1 trillion this year — amid $100 crude, elevated borrowing costs and strained budgets. “.. we don’t see a very clear pathway out of the three-pronged crisis,” he said. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

still reeling from this dream i had last night about Trump converting to Catholicism and we were at a Mass being led by the pope who was Leslie Nielsen in gladiator armor and Trump kept turning to me to express his concerns about the heretical nature of the Greek Orthodox Church

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Anybody interested in the Canadian government's proposed social media ban for young people (which should be everybody) should pay attention to this.

The NBA has come down hard on the LA Clippers as it finally announced the results of its investigation into the organization and its star, Kawhi Leonard. The Clippers will lose five first-round picks and are being fined $30 million. More details: nyti.ms/4dbic51

Trump: "We have hundreds of happy construction workers in DC busily doing their job building finest Ballroom/Military complex anywhere... It was a long, hard, fight in the Court System, but the winner is, as always under 'TRUMP,' the USA. Also, it is important to remember it is a 400 Million gift"

It’s fine, you can’t change the name of anything referenced in “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, it’s a legal document

Underappreciated: US farmland *already substantially produces energy, not food*, and does so very inefficiently. Corn ethanol (~40% of all US corn) requires about 100 times more land per vehicle-mile driven than solar photovoltaics -> electric vehicles. Shifting corn to solar *would free up land*.

Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social

anytime people raise concerns about land use for solar projects or anything like that i just want to point out that half the corn we grow in this country gets used to make gasoline slightly worse
