Thomas Pynchon Has Been Warning Us About American Fascism the Whole Time Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptations of Thomas Pynchon’s novels—first Inherent Vice in 2014, and now One Battle After Another in 2025—may be tipping the scales, with more first-time Pynchon readers f…

Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart.

We only get to do this to our planet once - front row seats to the greatest fuck-up in the history of our species; brought to us by decades of corporate greed, political corruption & public apathy, & paid for by the futures of children we claim to love.

Which would you buy?

I live in rural east central AB where it's not creeping anti-vaccine rhetoric, it's galloping. And actively encouraged by the govt's decision to make the covid vax more expensive/harder to get, and apparently requiring signup even for the flu vaccine. A sad and dangerous disavowal of public health.

For Americans in the back: Canadians are a peaceful cool people who would prefer not to worry about you or boycott you or resist you but MAGA and threats to our country force us to. We will stop giving you our money, our tourism and our respect until you stop this fascist regime.

Without trying to be alarmist, I think there's enough evidence to suggest that the United States government does, in fact, want a civil war. 😕 This is a weird thing to watch from Canada; I can't imagine what it must be like to live it.

And exhausting. We make things so hard for ourselves over here. It doesn't have to be an uphill slog all the time, everywhere, for everything.

And I thought in the '90's that things were going to be ok.

Apple's ICEBlock take-down shows how Big Tech's power can be used by American officials Tech companies are used to foreign governments telling them to take down apps. Now it's happening in the US, as Apple takes down an anti-ICE app.

A handful of huge tech companies control the choke points of modern life — and when governments lean on Big Tech, they can use those choke points themselves. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

A mere 9 months into the regime and Washington is giving its shock troops the SS "Totenkopf" death's head symbol.

Canada needs to prepare for what comes next.

Nigeria, a Major Oil Producer, Sees Beginnings of a Solar Boom

‘For Nigerians, the cost savings from ditching diesel mean that a solar panel pays for itself within six months…with imports of Chinese solar panels growing by two-thirds between June 2024 and June 2025…high fuel prices, a byproduct of the Ukraine war and the loss of a fuel subsidy’

Good for him, we don't need to support American insanity.

Every project you build or buy must end with community as the proof. Not brand, not PR. Real belonging.

It is the most monetisable, durable, and defensible advantage Canada has left. Stakeholders don’t argue with community. They rally around it.

Canada’s Last Advantage Community as the System That Outlasts Capital, Technology, and Drift The world is splintered. Supply chains buckle under pressure. Capital pools, but doesn't flow. Nations drift between identity and ...

Canada isn’t broken. It’s brittle.

If we don’t build, we’ll be bought. If we don’t own, we’ll rent our future.

The political case for rooftop solar If there’s one lesson progressive politicians should take to heart from the last decade, it’s that the durability of their climate policies is more important — way, way more important — than their eco...

For more than a decade, the economists have led the design of Canadian climate policies. It's time for the political scientists to take over -- and the debate over rooftop solar offers a perfect example of why. #cdnpoli

If the media had any pride left in their job they would quit interviewing these people and hit the streets. Start asking citizens how their finances are handling inflation or farmers or small businesses. Stop allowing liars to control the narrative go out amongst the living
