PM Carney: no taxpayer subsidies for American billionaires! Donald Trump’s billionaire donors are pushing a new gas terminal on the coast of British Columbia. It would be 100% American owned – and built in Korea. BUT THEY WANT US TO PAY FOR IT.

This gas terminal would be built in Korea and owned by American billionaires. Tell PM Carney: no taxpayer subsidies for Ksi Lisims LNG. #cdnpoli www.dogwoodbc.ca/petitions/ca...

The Real Stakes, and Real Story, of Peter Thiel’s Antichrist Obsession Thirty years ago, a peace-loving Austrian theologian spoke to Peter Thiel about the apocalyptic theories of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt. They’ve been a road map for the billionaire ever since.

Peter Thiel, "who lit the financial fuses on both Facebook and the AI revolution, who cofounded PayPal and Palantir and launched the career of an American vice president" wants us to join him in obsessing about Armageddon - and the ideas of Nazi jurist Wolfgang Palaver.

When Will The World Run Out of Water?
YouTube video by PBS Terra When Will The World Run Out of Water?

"Groundwater is..non-renewable on human timescales. But we haven't treated it that way.. we've pumped it as if it were endless.. As droughts grow longer and more intense, we rely more and more on groundwater to fill the gap, which only speeds up depletion"

like I have to have friends *remind me* to take painkillers when I’m in pain and it isn’t bad enough to stop me from functioning because you… just bear it and function

yeah, emotional suppression kills men

pain suppression literally kills women

Your voice is needed! In 2019, British Columbians voted to keep oil tankers off the north coast. Now, Alberta wants to change that with a proposed northern oil pipeline.

Let's make it clear: BC chooses clean water, not oil spills.

The simple framing is that the boreal and most of the prairies were too damp to burn almost all of the time, and climate change has dried them out to the point where peak fire season now seems to be early May to end of September, with zombie fires continuing through the winter.

Did another interview where I was asked how I study disasters and stay "optimistic".

This is very confusing for me because I am not optimistic. I am extremely pessimistic.

I think people mistake my making jokes for being optimistic. The memes are a coping mechanism, guys. It's all very bad.

Only five trucks of aid had reached Gaza by Tuesday afternoon and aid workers had not been given permission to distribute even that token shipment, Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN humanitarian office (Ocha) told a Geneva press briefing.
