I turned 63 today.
Fuck ya. It gets better all the time.
Keep kicking at the darkness my friends.
It is bleeding daylight.

I really doubt it. More realistically, charges and insinuations against anyone who is an effective opponent, similar to Putin. The exit window left stage is typically a little later.

You will never see this anywhere in the World but Delhi.

With rising air pollution and AQI touching 500, the Government is trying to manipulate the data by sprinkling loads of water 24x7 outside air quality monitor stations to bring down the AQI in official readings. 🤦🏽‍♂️

War isn't in the past - war is now. We need to remember the lessons of the past and work to reduce conflict.

- Russian attack on Ukraine (2014-now): 1m+ casualties, 200-400k+ dead
- Congolese conflicts (1996-now): 210k dead
- Gaza-Israeli war and subsequent genocide (2023-now): 87k dead in Gaza, 2k dead in Israel.
...

For remembrance day this year, I'd like for you to remember these ongoing major conflicts in the world today (there are more):
- Sudanese conflicts (2008-now): roughly 1.4m dead
- Ethiopian civil conflict (2018-now): 500-600k dead.
- Insurgency in the Maghreb + Sahel (2002-now): 464k dead
...

Last mention of anything related on CBC, Canada's national broadcaster, was 2 Nov: www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

James Watson, dead at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers James Watson, the co-discoverer of the structure of DNA who died Thursday at 97, was a scientific legend and a pariah among his peers.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Yeah so several major Ukrainian cities are in a complete blackout right now. 0 generation from thermal plants and 0 idea when the power will be back. Just please don’t forget us

What I didn't see was a number of any kind uniquely identifying *them*, just unit information. Did I miss something?

People's not primers -- argh.

As a cis person, I'd find it weird and mildly annoying. I also understand how it can be really offensive for a lot of people, which is why I try to use primers preferred pronouns.

I know this statement is boring and possibly trite but sometimes that's the right answer.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online.

It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Looked it up, it was a couple weeks: www.spglobal.com/commodity-in...

Not full flows either, but also by the looks of it, multiple attacks? I'm not completely sure how many or their timeline as I didn't closely follow the aftermath of this attack.

I mean, fair point - but much harder is probably a stretch. There's evidence of them repairing pumping stations in a week.

The work can be done in parallel...

This has been called out, likely forever but at least back to the 1960s. However, it requires the persistently absent traits of introspection and self awareness to recognize one's biases. youtu.be/HshZ5p5R0QY

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

Accusations are confessions, etc.

I'm a big fan of the PDW Danger Zone light, and this seems to be the modern equivalent, with the nice feature of having an automatic "brake light" feature: ridepdw.com/collections/...

Oh man, I had a German co-worker troll is all by calling us Americans. When we protested, he was like "but you're from North America, which makes you Americans..."

Our investigative folks at the Fifth Estate having been trying for months to get the province to talk about a leak of thousands of Interior Health employees’ personal information, and who was responsible.

The response from Health Minister Josie Osborne is not exactly inspirational.

The two global leaders in softwood lumber: BC… and Russia.

If Trump stands by these tariffs, he’s choosing to side with Russia. He’s supporting their forest sector, while mills in Canada - an ally and neighbour - begin to suffer.

All good, I'm not throwing stones here.

Yeah, this paints Canada as a climate laggard in the electricity sector while it has an emissions intensity of less than 120g CO2e per kWh... www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-anal....
