Mark Carney just picked his lane on climate change For all the recent talk about pipelines, it's clear that Mark Carney's economic strategy revolves around turning Canada into one of the world's leading electro-states.

My latest: With his new auto sector strategy and a plan to double grid capacity, Mark Carney isn't just talking a good game on diversifying our trade relationships away from America.

He's also building a roadmap to Canada's low-carbon future. #cdnpoli

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

Why I wish I hadn’t bought my Samsung OLED TV — The Verge In June 2024, in a dusty TV shop empty of customers save myself, my wife, and my kids, I stared deep into the LG C3 and Samsung S90C. I went back and forth between the two OLED screens for easily 20 m...

“Samsung’s QD-OLED panel itself is phenomenal, if nothing special in 2026. The problem is the software. I would pay Samsung $100, right now, for this “smart” TV to be as dumb as the ones I grew up with. ”

I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Tumbler Ridge is a small planned resource community, a winding 90 minute drive from the nearest city of at least 10,000 people.

A massive number of people are going to descend there tomorrow.

May those that arrive have respect and grace for the unimaginable grief.

Vance Acknowledges Armenian Genocide, Then Deletes Post, Igniting Outrage By deleting the social-media post, Vice President JD Vance upset Armenians after a historic visit.

The Armenian Genocide is a historical fact. Vice President Vance can delete his post, but he can't erase history. His decision to ignore the facts is beyond disrespectful to the Armenian community and the millions killed in the Armenian Genocide.

Dewormer ivermectin as cancer cure? RFK Jr.'s NIH funds "absurd" study. There's no reason to think ivermectin cures cancer, but RFK Jr's NIH is on it anyway.

Clinical trials have resoundingly concluded that ivermectin is not effective against COVID-19, and there is no old or new scientific evidence to support a hypothesis that it can cure cancer.

We have a federal administration led by idiots and criminals.

James Comer spent years and millions of taxpayer dollars trying and failing to prove that there was a policy connection between Hunter’s appointment to the Burisma board in 2014 and his VP dad. But Comer won’t spend a day or a dollar investigating this.

SWALWELL: You said you wanted to see a deportation process that was 'like Amazon Prime but with human beings.' How many times has Amazon Prime shot a mom 3 times in the face?

@crockett.house.gov please Unmask ice! it's not safe!!! Anyone can pose as them and harm you ... The very people pretending to rid of us of the rapists and murderers are making it easier for them to attack us

Oh, dear. When careless punctuation reveals the truth.

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

Elmo @elmo · 1h That Bunny was AMAZING. Elmo thinks he should be called Good Bunny! Elmo loves you, Mr. Good Bunny! ❤️🎶🐰 Based Yankee @thebasedyankee You and Bad Bunny should be deported

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Feel bad for the boring fucks that struggle to watch old sci-fi stories about the future "cause actually that's not how [past year] was", or conversely "why does [future year] have significantly worse tech than we have now?"

Have some whimsy and enjoy things.

Since the early days of the space program, astronauts have quarantined before missions because any illness could be disastrous. It’s eminently logical — not “extreme” — for athletes who’ve trained their WHOLE LIVES for one event to take similar precautions in order to stay in peak physical condition

Onion just reporting straight news now.

a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this
