I’m not a big curling guy, but I get the significance of this, and WOW it’s mind-blowing. Some are calling it the best shot in curling history! #TeamCanada at the #ParalympicGames.
Tehran this morning is hell on earth. Covered by a black poisonous cloud after oil storage tank attacked.
Unfathomably massive, life critical news that 97% of people won’t know because of the cretins who own and operate the mainstream news.
(Sometimes it helps to say/write it out loud even though it does almost nothing at this point)
I’m conflicted between the necessity of collectivity and the fact that I just like being alone most of the time
Does the revolution have a place for chronic introverts
Over 160 schoolgirls are dead. Anthropic and Palantir executives must immediately testify and tell the public whether their AI is responsible.
Oil price spikes don’t affect my family because we drive electric cars. Natural gas price spikes don’t affect my family because we have solar panels. Your family can be like my family!

It’s not that there are zero use cases for AI.
It’s that there are very, very few that justify the enormous expenditure of resources and rapacious exploitation of labor.
I discovered something that just nauseated me to my core today - Polymarket has a huge number of bets running on climate impacts and disasters
An entirely new flavour of disaster capitalism

After two decades of medical chaos, my family had a nice break for the past couple years. But today my wife started dialysis. It was a good run.
When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
So, any other news yesterday?
Anything important?

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants
And those who are merely staying neutral are frustrating me with their neutrality. 🤷🏻♂️
I desperately need some light, fun nonsense in my life to break up all the heavy. But most of the things I enjoy, from hockey to Survivor and seemingly everything else, are increasingly tainted by MAGA bullshit. It’s inescapable
Every one of these players can F all the way off. I have a Quinn Hughes jersey for sale.

Bring it. 👊

You might say they were blowing smoke. 💨
The Canadian government had major knowledge gaps about CCS even as it promised the technology would "drive down our emissions." 🤔 We have the receipts!
That was one of the best Team Canada performances I have ever seen, except they could not score. Column from a gold medal game that hurt, in every way. www.thestar.com/sports/olymp...
“It’s not too late for the hockey legend to redeem himself.”
It’s 100% too late for Gretzky to redeem himself.
We’re in an era where, when people show you who they are, you better damn well believe them. The rest is just spin and PR damage control.
