People are gonna lose their shit when more and more flights are cancelled due to lack of jet fuel.

Until it affects them, far off world problems are ignored.

Welcome to global supply connectivity.

Imagine that

Even if this turns out to be another TACO moment--tick, tick--just saying this shit damages our societies, helps destroy fundamental aspects of how politics is conducted & helps create a more violent and unstable world. There is no "sensible centrist" long game to play against this sort of insanity.

Yes. Denounce it now. Not after the fact. Now.

It is madness, pure lunatic evil, to even hint at breaking the nuclear taboo, and there is little other way to read it.

There is no joking about this.

my youngest grandson returns from The Waste. No food again, just metal scraps. But he's so proud, and wants a reward.

"Tell me again about The Great Before. Tell me why The Green went away," he begs.

"in the Before," I begin, "people had questions about who should participate in women's sports..."

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

I have had some version of "he wants all of us to be buried with him" in stuff I've written about Trump in the past and usually but not always taken it out. It didn't like looking at it, mostly, but over time it just became one of those things that was too obvious to bother with. It's all sickening.

April fools only works when reality isn't this stupid.

The European Commission has urged people to work from home, drive and fly less, and for EU countries to roll out renewables, as it warned of a prolonged energy crisis as a result of the Gulf conflict

Meanwhile, the Nova Scotia government has imposed punitive fees on those who drive hybrids and EVs.

#Canada if you are covered under the Canadian dental plan CDCP members must renew their coverage each year to confirm that they still meet the eligibility requirements and avoid any disruptions in their CDCP coverage. This year's renewal period will be from April 15 to June 1, 2026.

Two years before this happened, C100 ran an April Fools joke announcing that Halifax, Dartmouth, Bedford, and Sackville would form a city called "HaDaBeSack." They even had a pastiche of "Nova Scotia, Nature’s Song" by Evans and Doherty.

It was obviously a joke. Nobody would do something so dumb.

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent.

In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country.

This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.

It's supremely funny that the president spent the last few months shitting all over our NATO allies, several of whom have taken the role of maintaining the Alliance's minehunter/minesweeper capabilities, only to desperately need said capabilities after he starts a voluntary war with Iran.

If we invested into trains even a smidgen of the bounty given over to cars, what a world we could have.

PM's office mum on Conservative Order of Canada petition for Don Cherry OTTAWA — Prime Minister Mark Carney’s office wouldn’t weigh in on a push by the federal Conservatives to award the Order of Canada to controversial hockey commentator Don Cherry. Audrey Champoux, a sp...

Anyone can nominate a fellow Canadian for the Order of Canada. There is an online form and an independent panel that decides who deserves one. It isn't up to the Prime Minister or some petition. This is just divisive political grandstanding. #cdnpoli toronto.citynews.ca/2026/03/14/p...

Me, $0.0001 Billion in FY26

But yes, twisted priorities. The classic guns vs. butter economic argument, which in this case also perversely makes butter more expensive!

You know what pisses me off about the announcement by Oz and Makary, now disproven, that leucovorin could treat autism?

It’s the false hope given to people with autism and those who love them.

If you’ve ever had a kid with a complex condition and you’re desperate for help, you are vulnerable.

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

This is bigotry, pure and simple.

We are apparently in the phase of foreign policy where it’s “war” when you want to sound tough and “not war” when you want to avoid responsibility.

Agree, but TBF, that is what council does about a lot of things, and why initiatives end up costing so much.

The bike lanes aren’t costing so much because of what cyclists need. It’s because they keep delaying, re-designing , and changing them to appease drivers.

If you’re wondering why “peptides yes but vaccines no,” it’s partly because a hallmark of conspiracy ideation is rejecting the mainstream and embracing whatever the alternative is.

Vaxx = mainstream = corrupt & bad
Peptides = fringe = secret & good.

Such a great idea. Calming, reflective, and a way to positively re-program that self-programming computer in our skull.

You're doing the opposite of rage farming.

"You can have an electronic mistress and a sycophant that agrees with your biases."

Elon Musk's makeshift AI power plant generates sound and fury in Mississippi The 27 temporary gas turbines roar like jet engines day and night to power data centers, residents say.

Jet engines in your backyard, methane in your lungs, climate crisis accelerating: all for AI data centers.
