Do I think it's a coincidence that one of the only places to ever say anything to my family about wearing masks now is shutdown because of contamination of food/water that has landed people in the hospital? No.

Probably spent an hour talking about it using different analogies. I wanted to stay clear of talking about dipole moments. LOL!

at the back country site also commented about how they had never actually had it explained to them. Considering how important this all is right now I think it would be a good thing to have as general knowledge.

On a recent backpacking trip kids & I had a long conversation about why GHG are actually GHG. It was pretty amazing how even my university level oldest really didn't understand why. This seems like a failing of basic education. One of the people sitting around

Exclusive: How Karim Khan’s Israel war crimes probe was derailed by threats, leaks and sex claims Already targeted by US sanctions, the ICC chief prosecutor’s pursuit of Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders now threatens his career, his reputation, and the future of the court itself

Shocking details of efforts (Israel, US and UK) to destroy ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, and, along with him, the ICC itself if it continues to pursue senior Israeli politicians.

Seeing lots of posts about wildfire smoke today. Hey I have an idea! Lets take climate change seriously!

It's pretty wild that we as a species will still be arguing about absolutely self evident nonsense when an AGI(ASI) comes on line that has more "intelligence" than all of humanity combined. Apes screaming unintelligible nonsense at the fire they have made.

Just a wonderful time simply wondering down the trails watching the world as it's supposed to be. Simply magical. Slow walking all day long. Stopping to look at the flowers. Identify some plants. Reading tracks. Categorizing the scat. Simply magical.

After the last number of years of near apocalyptic conditions, getting out here when things are lush & green & how they should be is just such a nice experience. Everything is enjoying our temporary reprieve.

Picture of a young man gathering water from a creek with the Rockies in the background.

I really feel that one of the best things I've done for my kids is have them grow up experiencing this. My son here has more experience in the wilderness than most people will have in their lives. He's a pro & loves it. Simply priceless.

Landscape view of a lush richly green valley in the Rockies with a river flowing through it & mountains in the background.

Even after a lot of years of wondering here, I'm always blown away by how beautiful the Rockies are. Just moments before this I was sitting & watching a mother grizzly & 2 cubs in that valley. Moments before that some wild deer. A day before that a marmot.

Thanks! I'll check them out.

Anyone know where I can get a good pair of dog booties for a fairly large dog? They have to be able to stay on in rugged terrain. I've worn through the pair I'm using now.

The people of Palestine have lived in the region now known as Gaza for over 10,000 years. For colonial powers to "recognize" them as having rights of self determination is pretty high asinine BS in a history of asinine BS. Genocide is a crime.

Personally I'm totally down with the MF Windfarms. 🤣🤣

The latest Canadian standards association guidance for universal use of respirators for preventing respiratory infection in healthcare is based on actual science (rather than dogma) and has generated a predictable response from predictable quarters

It's all the rage to simply uncritically parrot the ravings of the ignorant & the corrupt.

Also, since it's now becoming pretty clear which foreign country is financially backing this, it's pretty easy to see who perceives benefit from this. Why do we play make believe with useful idiots, traitors & bad actors? Why does our legal establishment?

The problem here is blatant open corruption. Some of it truly seems criminal in nature & organized. Either that is addressed, or we have surrendered our province to them.

You can spend your days arguing with the useful idiots, that are quite frankly mentally incapable of processing their positions, but you will be wasting your time as much as trying to convince young earth creationists that the earth is more than 5000 years old.

Why do we play these stupid games that permit bad actors & useful idiots to control the narrative? NOTHING that has been happening in Alberta has ANYTHING to do with fiscal responsibility. It's 100% ideological & corrupt industry motivated.

This movement is 100% about using useful idiots to blackmail the rest of Canada into doing things that are in the best interests of the corrupt fossil fuel industry in Alberta & the political organization it controls. Why are we pretending there is anything else going on?

Are we still pretending that the financial viability of Alberta separation is the motivating factor behind this movement? Are we really this slow on the uptake?

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

7) The real solution? Accelerate the energy transition.
Invest in clean energy, electrify transportation, and reduce our dependence on all fossil fuels foreign or domestic. That’s how we build real energy security.
