SuperBowl ads are different here in Canada so I missed this horrifying perversion of human empathy (h/t to Louis Rossman, who has no official account here, but is worth your time watching) to push Ring doorbell users into switching on AI to create an open-air panopticon:

For the eighth year in a row, the world’s oceans absorbed a record-breaking amount of heat in 2025. It was equivalent to the energy it would take to boil 2 billion Olympic swimming pools. www.wired.com/story/the-oc...

Ten years after the #ParisAgreement was adopted, the world is still heading toward a breach of the 1.5°C limit.
Clean energy is advancing, but governments keep expanding fossil fuels and falling short on deforestation.
The next decade will decide if Paris holds or fails.
At what point did being completely wrong start counting as an “opinion”? Claiming vaccines cause autism isn’t an opinion. It’s utter bullshit. And then they say, “Well, that’s my opinion, you have to respect it.” No. I don’t have to respect stupidity. Fuck off.

A *huge* vaccine victory. I've been writing on this for years; Australia has seen remarkable progress in cervical cancer prevention with the HPV vaccine. I love seeing science triumph like this.
Today is a historic setback for climate action in Canada. DSF vehemently opposes this proposed pipeline and calls on @mark-carney.bsky.social to do better. Stand firm on environmental standards and advance Canada’s clean energy transition. Not Danielle Smith's fossil fuel fantasy.

🌍 A rare bit of climate good news:
92% of all new power added last year came from renewables.
Solar and wind are now the cheapest energy sources.
Let’s build on this momentum.

Great news because a non-zero amount of the Battle River–Crowfoot electorate will fuck up the spelling of Poilievre, unintentionally spoiling their ballots.

So, the u.s. border patrol trespassed into Canadian territory and kidnapped a Canadian citizen. That’s a hostile act by a foreign country. PM Carney should demand that the u.s. patrol officers be extradited to Canada to face charges.
This.
not to be dramatic but evangelical christianity really is destroying the world
Defund the police: something that never really happened, but everybody talked about.
Defund the scientists: something that's actually happening, but almost nobody's talking about in those terms.
“Never before has a Canadian politician shared so much disinformation unchecked. As Pierre Poilievre tries to weasel his way back into Parliament, our legacy media still refuses to call out his lies, or question his ties to Canada Proud, who ran disinformation campaigns targeting our prime minister”
