Stop privatizing space.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

Chant for Robert Mueller and the rule of law you cowards

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

China won the war.

It really is just a compliment machine, made by and for guys who weren't getting compliments anymore.

All too easy now w AI tools. Scrape for content, sprinkle it with a few real seeming nuggets here and there, and now the onus is on you guys to chase after them to shut down. Damn 😞

"Computers are dumb, they only know what you tell them."

David Cronenberg wrote that line for Jeff Goldblum forty years ago.

Seems like some sort of fake mirror just scraping content from POV and picking up money from whatever subscribers they’ve managed to pick up. I wonder how long it’s been up….

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

As we progress through this evening I think it will be very important for people to be able to accept the idea that Trump is both a monster and he is full of shit...and that being full of shit does not make him any less monstrous.

Apparently some are not familiar with the story: Croesus of Lydia asked the Oracle what would happen once he attacked Iran. Oracle predicted: "a great civilization will die". Of course it turned out that the one that died was Lydia, not Iran. Seems relevant...

So much winning….

Annoying dork Elon Musk made it deeply uncool to get a thrill from space travel.

Thank you, NASA, for fixing that with Artemis II.

A Private Company Wants to Block the Sun, Responsibly Stardust sold geoengineering to investors. Now it needs to sell it to the public.

Still full of dread about what this company is actually planning. Best case scenario is that it's being massively oversold and inflated. So many risky and problematic arguments being made to create permission space for geoengineering deployment at the moment

This winter is such a great example of shifting baselines. As someone in the east, it was cold this winter. Full stop. But it "felt" even more frigid because we haven't had such cold recently.

It was cold but not historically so. But good heavens look at that record-breaking heat out West. 🔥

Stephen Lewis: The Great Debate YouTube video by TVO Today

I think this is my favourite interview with Stephen Lewis. It's 12 yrs ago, & we spoke about Pres. John F. Kennedy on the 50th anniversary of his assassination, because Lewis had debated Kennedy at UofT, & JFK helped get Lewis elected: www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqxX... #onpoli #uspoli

Stephen Lewis eulogizing Jack Layton in 2011:

"Inevitably, we fastened on those last memorable lines about 'hope, optimism and love', but the letter was at its heart a manifesto for social democracy"

This is incredible from Bruce Springsteen

He's sending out a message to Americans and showing everyone why he is still unquestionably "The Boss"

Just submitted my Reflect Orbital reply comment to the FCC. And I managed to not throw my laptop out a window.

Reflect Orbital is a fucking terrible idea that will cause real physical harm with no benefit whatsoever.

Absolutely bonkers that Anaheim is 1st in the Pacific and would not even be in the playoffs in the East. Parity?

The sky looked the same for cave-dwellers, for Galileo and for kids born all the way up until the 1950s. No more.
