223: The Labour Party is Dead Centrism will kill us all if it continues

Climate change and wealth concentration are intrinsically linked. They cannot be addressed, understood, or responded to independently.

Don't trust AI and don't trust the people who believe AI can and should be trusted. Applying this concept to your use of AI is potent and powerful.

MethaneSAT 'likely not recoverable,' lost its link to Earth : Methane monitoring satellite managed just over a year in orbit before its sudden demise

Odd. We speculate cyberattack as soon as the lights flicker somewhere. But not when the first satellite that could precisely pinpoint methane leaks emanating from a ruthless multi-trillion-dollar industry mysteriously dies on orbit.

As a sign of what's wrong with Canada: the government is offering free rides on VIA rail for people under 17. The catch? You have to be accompanied by an adult. πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ What a wasted opportunity. Let the kids roam the country. 🀠

Why I don't believe Alberta is bullied by extractive industries such as Big Oil Over the years I have read many articles discussing how people believe the province of Alberta has a cycle of abuse with Big Oil.

Bill 5 should be opposed as part of #ElbowsUp , as what Doug Ford is trying to do is no different than what Donald Trump wants to do.

Unfortunately, the hypocricy of those who uphold a settler-colonial mindset is extreme.

I wrote a new thing about killing the metrics in your head, and how our inherent desire to know that we are being seen can be the thing that prevents us from caring as well and as much as we actually do. phirephoenix.com/blog/2025-05...

Metaviews 65: No Human Nature: Neurodivergence, Eugenics, and the Future of Politics with Russell McOrmond My debut episode on Metaviews.

Jesse Hirsh and I speak from the future.

Well, Jesse spoke from the future when it comes to thinking about the current state of individualism and β€œwestern civilization”, and I was left wondering how long it will take loyalists to those worldviews to catch up to him.

I like Wab Kinew not just because he's got solid politics, but also because he always seems to be enjoying the ride. I hope it attracts people to public service thinking that it can be rewarding and fun.

Covid is not β€œmild”. It’s not just a cold. infections don’t make you stronger & can cause significant harm

Grateful to anyone with a platform who speaks out about their struggles.

People need to understand repeat infections aren’t inevitable. Masking & clean air works. We just have to do it

If the search of Luigi's bag was illegal, *and* they conducted a custodial interrogation without mirandizing, then neither the feds nor the state have a murder weapon.

But since the DA already tainted the jury pool with prejudicial details, there's a good argument that a fair trial is impossible.

β€œA couple days later, on March 6, I was working from home at around 11:30 when I got a notice that my VPN had gone down,” he says. β€œI didn’t think much about it. It can cut out from time to time. About 10 minutes later, I got a knock at the door.”

Two men were outside Jackson’s door, dressed in slacks and polos. They were not wearing badges.

β€œI first thought they were going to try to sell me something. But as soon as I opened the door they said, β€˜Are you Clayton Jackson?’ I think I shook my head or said β€˜yeah,’ and then I heard, β€˜We have information that you are obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation.’”

Jackson says alarms went off in his head. β€œMy first instinct was to want to know what this was about. That it must be a misunderstanding. So I started to tell them about how I’ve been involved in some pro bono work. Then this voice in my head kicked in and just said, you need to shut the fuck up β€” don’t say anything.”

The officers never identified themselves. They did ask if they could come inside.

β€œI said absolutely not,” Jackson says. β€œI asked for their names and badge numbers. They said they didn’t have to provide that information at this time. So I told them I’d be calling my lawyer and I shut the door behind me.”

Jackson says his mind started racing. β€œI needed to know who they were, what agency they were with. Then I remembered that I have the Ring camera. Maybe I could watch the video of the incident and figure out who they were from that.”

There was no video. β€œThat’s when I learned why my VPN had gone down. It wasn’t the VPN. Someone had shut off my Wifi.”

About 15 minutes after the interaction at his front door, Jackson’s Wifi was up and running again.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...
