Climate change advisers quit over Carney government’s energy deal with Alberta Two departing members of Canada's Net-Zero Advisory Body say the Carney government is shredding any hope the country will meet its climate goals.

PM Carney subsidizes Big Oil to pump carbon to increase production.
He walks back greenwashing rules allowing Big Oil to lie.
He cuts a deal on planet killing methane.
Now his team is walking.
The CEO isn't smartest guy in the room when it comes to a burning planet.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

This has been in my head for a year

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Liberal AI legislation won't address copyright questions, says Solomon A government report published earlier this year identified several outstanding isssues related to generative AI and copyright law, including how Ottawa should approach data mining used to train large-...

Solomon is just utterly useless.

Satirical news headline: Danielle Smith uses notwithstanding clause to declare herself premier of B.C.

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.”

Yikes.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The true and final neural atrophy of the neural atrophy machine.

I've described the feeling this creates as the sense of existing in a swirling ever-present.

The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

“I wish I could have gotten the message across that there isn’t a distinction between “they/them” and “you.” The pronoun that matters is “we.”

every journalist who has been ringing the alarm bell about this for the last three years should get $10 million from any bailout, as a treat

No, there is no ceasefire in Gaza Israel’s bombing of Gaza is not a ‘violation of the ceasefire'. It is a continuing genocide under diplomatic cover.

"The 'ceasefire' is a diplomatic sham – a cover for the continuing extermination, displacement and erasure of the Palestinian people in Gaza and a distraction for the international public and the media."
