I've said this a number of times, but it's worth saying again. If you don't like what is going on in the world one of the best things you can do right now is do absolutely everything you can to stop using fossil fuels.
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
Yes, yes it is, but even if the felon is mad, he still has dictatorial powers over the most powerful military in the world.

Carney says he supports US invading Iran, Cuba, and possibly Canada "with some regret"
I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.
NEW – Pace of global warming has nearly doubled since 2015, study says

“It makes no sense to claim that there’s a war on cars and motorists, when if anything, there’s been a war on walking. Over the last 70 years, human settlements have become less dense through the deliberate subsiding of driving, including land-use laws that promote sprawl…” #UrbanTruth
It's pretty wild that the Carney Conservative press releases sound just about exactly the same as the UCP separatist ones do.
Plugging in your car only warms the oil, it does nothing for the battery. Parasitic draw from the computer systems of modern cars is pretty high. A trickle charger is the way to go for cars that aren't driven much.
manufacturing. Serfdom in service of a 1%. The wealthy have waged a war on the middle class & for the most part, they've won.
For many, that hasn't really worked out & now they just have the debt. Now even those that have managed to scrape a living out are being told that many of those jobs are going to be done by AI, so they need to go back to a manufacturing industry that doesn't exist. So no white collar or
The arc of the last decades has been pretty wild. First everyone was told that because all the manufacturing was moving to Asia, they needed to get higher education to be part of a white collar work force. People did. They indebted themselves to unsustainable levels to do it.
"And through this absence we see the emerging reality: the American state is allowed to decay and falter, while oligarchs use the bits that remain to pursue private interests and private fortunes."
If you're not driving your car much, you need to have a trickle charger on it. With newer cars 2-4 weeks of no driving is enough to drain the battery.
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.
Here’s what happened:
I think it was wile e coyote that famously said, that's all folks.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

I've always been a huge supporter of a managed decline for many of the reasons mentioned in this talk. That being said watching what we've gone through & are going through with COVID doesn't give me a lot of hope that we are capable of that level of organization & rationality.
This is figure 1, which shows a risk map of Antarctic ice catchment basins.
The results of a study in Nature Climate Change imply that the Antarctic Ice Sheet does not act as one single tipping element, but rather as several tipping systems interacting across drainage basins. go.nature.com/4rFXQ9q 🧪
So is this going to be a pretense to land military planes in Spain & dare them to stop it? That is what the felon said.
that, then there can not be progress. The merest mention of actual progress in Alberta is a death knell politically. How do you get rid of corruption when the actual business model in Alberta is corruption? Ethical corruption?
I've been seeing lots of posts talking about why the AB NDP are so uninspiring. It's not them folks, it's us. More specifically AB. There is no way to have a "progressive" party in a province that is determined to not progress. We live in a petro state. Until we are willing to do something about
Colonizers are never the aggressors, it's divine privilege.
Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.
A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.
Now seems like a good time for people to re-watch this:

There are tons of Linux distros to choose from. My kids first laptop was Mint. They had no problems with it at all. Still runs good to this day.
