Enbridge paid police to protect one pipeline. Now it wants to do it again in Wisconsin. The Bad River Band is fighting to stop Line 5 and protect its watershed. Meanwhile, local sheriffs are already tallying the cost of riot gear.

My latest for @grist.org: Pipeline giant Enbridge will pay for police to respond to potential Indigenous-led protests as it begins construction of the controversial Line 5 reroute around the Bad River reservation

Modified slide from microbial science presentation "Theory - Spontaneous Generation" "Until the early 19th century, people generally believed in the "Spontaneous Generation of life from non-living matter. Due to early experiments, this idea was disproved • Francisco Redi (1668) - Rotten Meat Experiment • Louis Pasteur (1864) - Curved Flask Experiment

Some seniors remain". Right beaker, corked with "AI". Red meat, all flies dead. Caption "Later..."

I am once again asking where they think senior engineers come from

it's okay to socially ostracize parents who won't vaccinate themselves or their children, in fact we should be doing it as a rule

University of Waterloo student strike today, protesting with students across Ontario to OSAP cuts!

Begging all of u, especially non-students, to write/contact ur MPP, Post-Sec Minister Nolan Quinn, & Premier Ford. They need to hear that all of us care about education, & that students are our future

A friend points out: “Doug Ford has long been obsessed with Chicago. The largest convention Center in North America is a lakeside convention Center south of downtown. So similar to Ex.”

The ideas aren’t unique or original. Much like his call to turn Niagara Falls into Vegas.

Derivative.

Landed a fat contract for my PR firm today. We're going to try to scrub social media references to "Dubai chocolate," the new slang term for when expat influencers crap themselves at the sound of a shahed

Why ‪@why.bsky.team‬ Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code.

We need to operate as if this war will go on for a long time and with the understanding that what we did for Palestine wasn’t sufficient but that we need to stop it nonetheless

reading about Iran depleting expensive missile defense systems with cheap drones and remembering the time America did war games and Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper was winning by using massed cheap attacks so they changed the rules to get the outcome they wanted

People get in my face about “those scofflaw bikers” while there’s not a motorist out there who doesn’t help themselves to little red light running or speeding or non-signaling or cell phone tapping as a treat

It’s no mistake that I find “authoritarian” and “totalitarian” to be useless terms but nothing shows that more than recent days. Somehow a country led by a faction actively undermining democratic safeguards wantonly blackbagging people and murdering them in the street doesn’t qualify as either.

Thanks for the info! Don’t go digging just yet, I’m going to talk to a couple of vendor-installers to see if I can learn more. One said he could just haul the rental away no charge and return it to them.

Avi has a better platform but I think Heather has more fight in her

Inshallah

Right now it’s unclear bc they say it was assigned to someone else by the seller so I don’t know what our obligations are. According to their table a buyout would be ~1000

Regardless, wear an N95

2018, we just bought the place with it but haven’t started paying them yet (enercare)

So that’s why it sucks? Quit your job

You surely feel more trusting in this platform and the security of the software running it knowing that at least 3 of the main developers mostly focus on playing with the claude slop machine.

Officer's Jeep seen with symbol ‘appropriated by’ neo-Nazis, group says, after Hamilton police OK him to work | CBC News A Hamilton community group is calling for action after it says a resident discovered a police officer's vehicle is once again displaying a sticker “associated with white nationalist extremism." Police...

The ongoing saga of Const. Renato Greco, an officer in the Hamilton Police Service and, apparently, an active white supremacist.

Not a great look for HPS, especially considering the rise of violent neo-fascist extremist groups in the region.

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
