Need inspiration. Best I can come up with these days is a new subtitle: 'and how this view might rewrite our future'. www.extremophilechoice.com/.../once-you...

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Yes!

It's the settlers. It's always been about encroachment; and inevitably (?) genocide.

Climate change will hurt Canada's GDP more than previously thought New economic research indicates Canada (and all countries) will see a larger hit to GDP thanks to climate change.

Climate change will hurt Canada's GDP more than previously thought.

The cost of inaction to curb growing greenhouse gas emissions could mean a 21 per cent hit to Canada’s GDP by the end of 2070, according to a new economic analysis www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/29/n...

There is such a thing as 'settled science' — anyone who says otherwise is trying to manipulate you How bad-faith arguments sow doubt by weaponizing scientific humility.

“Science is never settled” sounds reasonable—but it’s often a rhetorical trick to undermine consensus on issues like vaccines or climate change.
Science evolves, but some things are overwhelmingly supported by evidence.

Scary! And even though the outcome is obvious (Tylenol wins) many won't believe it because: corporate $$. Even though, again, the claim itself comes from Oligarchy.

Same program, less power---and he knows it?

Global warming hurts northerners most, and in some of the nastiest ways.

Funny how my Ontario Premier can do nothing but piss me off for years, backtracking on EV infrastructure and pushing oil and more highways, and then make an innovative and bold move like this against Tr*mp's trade war so I have to support him. human nature is confusing.

It's scary! I have no idea what human civilisation will look like in a hundred, fifty, or even fifteen years. We will be different for sure. But I do know IT'S OUR DUTY to work as quickly as possible towards a #rewilding world, with our technological world in an *extremophile* relationship to it:

Westminster parliamentary system (by authority of 'the king'---otherwise politically powerless) works best in a multi-party system. In Canada, 'other parties' can gang up on an irresponsible executive. Any bill can trigger a nonconfidence vote and a new election at any time.

Responsible government in Canada: executive branch is accountable to the elected legislature, ensuring that the government maintains the confidence of the House of Commons to remain in power. RG concept is rooted in Westminster parliamentary system and was first implemented in Nova Scotia in 1848.

The unchecked power of a single US president is frightening.

Currently reading your "Racing to Extinction" Lyle. Wonderful anecdotes and insights and I share your body/mind interests. It's a bit early (I'm a slow meticulous reader---lots of notes) but this post seems to confirm my notion of where you're going in the conclusion. But "wait and see" is my moto 🙏

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

An astonishingly large crowd!
Chicago

frog and chewbacca dance to brass solidarity band, the band formed by community members around george floyd square, at no kings minneapolis

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

The only thing missing is the tea...

No Kings protests: Marches are underway around the country This summer, organizers said more than 5 million people participated in No Kings protests against President Trump. Organizers say they expect an even bigger turnout this time around.

How do thousands of voters who ("counterintuitively") CANNOT register information from outside their specialties elect leaders who are TRAINED to pay attention? www.extremophilechoice.com/2025/04/01/c...

As a Canadian I have a little trouble with the "No Kings" idea in general. As basis of constitution it also means inevitable drift to authoritarianism? Don't want to disturb the momentum now, but let's look at this again after the 18th.
