Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

A digital 4 panel comic. The first panel has a white cat that says "I try to be nice to everyone". The second panel has a black cat that replies with "ok now be nice to yourself." Third panel is the white cat staring in silence, and the fourth panel the white cat's expression changed into an angry one

I know Carney is conservative. But accepting this floor crossing shows an absolutely astonishing deficit in values and judgement

I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.

I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

After Intense Lobbying, Carney Allows Gas-Powered Data Centres in Alberta Energy firm pushed federal officials to scale back clean-electricity rules tied to AI sector by Taylor C. Noakes Updated 11:46, Mar. 27, 2026 | Published 6:30, Mar. 27, 2026

he Alberta electricity company Capital Power, which is developing a new, large artificial intelligence data centre in the province powered by natural gas, lobbied the federal Mark Carney government dozens of times in 2025 to eliminate clean-energy regulations, DeSmog has learned. These regulations were subsequently dropped from a fossil fuel accord that the prime minister signed with the Government of Alberta this past November, allowing new, large data centres fuelled by gas turbines to proceed. “We’ve got a new paradigm that allows us to look at growth capital” for Canadian gas-powered AI projects, Capital Power chief executive officer Avik Dey said in reaction to the Carney government announcing it would suspend the regulations.

The term “data centre” appears at least twenty-five times in notes from Capital Power’s interactions with the federal government, while the term “emissions” appears seventeen times, and “clean-energy regulations” and “net zero” appear each at least fourteen times.

The AI boom is itself driving a massive development of gas-power generation: over 1,000 gigawatts worldwide, a quarter of which is in the United States. Though AI data centres can be powered by any form of electricity, the gas industry has marketed gas power as cheap, efficient, and reliable.

What a stunning demonstration of how data centre development is directly and materially boosting fossil fuels. After ferocious lobbying the Carney government caved and killed off environmental rules to allow fossil gas power plants to be built for data centres:

My previous attempt to share this letter removed all of the point form information that I'm trying to get out to people in the first place. Here is the updated open letter to Doug Ford explaining his corruption and why everyone in Ontario needs to wake tf up.

A 3D environment featuring a wolf head mounted for display above a fireplace.

Surprise! I didn't bother making a separate asset for just the head. The rest of the wolf's body is actually squished up real good like an accordion and hidden inside the fireplace wall.

Work dumber not harder

What is Doug Ford trying to hide?

Les fascistes au Canada, contrairement aux États-Unis, ne peuvent gagner à travers la capture judiciaire.

Ainsi, ils s’attaquent aux juges et aux contre-pouvoirs aux abus parlementaires.

Fuck MBC.

schools are never valid military targets, on or off base

if someone bombed a DoD school in Okinawa and killed a bunch of American 4th graders, that would be a war crime.

The murder of Iranian schoolchildren is a war crime.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

玉險 Office of the Prime Minister Cabinet du Premier Ministre Statement by Prime Minister Carney and Minister Anand on the situation in the Middle East "The Canadian government is closely following Iran-related hostilities throughout the Middle East and urges all Canadians in Iran to shelter in place. Canadians in the wider region should follow local advice and take all necessary precautions. Canada's position remains clear: the Islamic Republic of Iran is the principal source of instability and terror throughout the Middle East, has one of the world's worst human rights records, and must never be allowed to obtain or develop nuclear weapons. Canada and our international partners have consistently called upon the Iranian regime to end its nuclear program, including at the 2025 G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis and with the United Nations' reimposition of sanctions in September. Despite diplomatic efforts, Iran has neither fully dismantled its nuclear program, halted all enrichment activities, nor ended its support for regional terrorist proxy groups. Canada stands with the Iranian people in their long and courageous struggle against Iran's oppressive regime. Canada has listed the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity, and has sanctioned 256 Iranian entities and 222 individuals in response to the regime's repression and its violence both against its own people, and persistently, beyond its borders. Canada reaffirms Israel's right to defend itself and to ensure the security of its people. Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security. The Canadian government urges the protection of all civilians in this conflict. We will take all possible measures to protect our nationals and Canadian diplomatic missions throughout the region." February 28, 2026

“Canada supports the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent its regime from further threatening international peace and security.”

Well. For those of us wondering if he’d walk the walk of the Davos speech, this is a pretty big answer.

Nope.

Déclaration de Alexandre Boulerice sur les bombardements sur l’Iran Suite aux événements en Iran, Alexandre Boulerice, porte-parole aux Affaires étrangères du NPD a émis la déclaration suivante :

L’essor de la misogynie, de l’homophobie et de la transphobie à l’école inquiète les enseignants «Ces situations ne sont pas isolées ni marginales», d’après une étude sur ces gestes, leurs auteurs et leurs effets.

«[...] les garçons qui expriment le plus à l’école leur intolérance à la diversité sexuelle sont les joueurs de hockey, les adeptes d’influences masculinistes, de même que les amateurs du nazisme… et du président américain, Donald Trump.»

Lowell Green was a racist demagogue who used his CFRA radio show as a soapbox to rant about immigrants and target racialized communities in Ottawa

Contrary to Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe's eulogy here, Lowell wasn't proud of Canada – he wrote an entire book about how it wasn't white enough for him

Correction sur la couverture de la fusillade à Tumbler Ridge La direction de l'information s'excuse de la publication d'une photo présentant à tort une personne comme étant responsable de la fusillade.

Radio-Canada apologizes after it aired a photo circulated by anti-trans hate groups online, falsely claiming it was a photo of the Tumbler Ridge shooter. Damaging and irresponsible, and this apology raises more questions about journalistic process imho.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

It Turns Out Waymos Are Being Controlled by Workers in the Philippines During a Congressional hearing, Waymo's chief safety officer, Mauricio Peña, was grilled over the company's reliance on overseas workers.

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

BREAKING: Premier Doug Ford’s ⁦‪@OntarioPCParty‬⁩ has banned the media from covering its convention this weekend in Etobicoke. Very unusual for party confabs to be completely closed to journalists.

J'apprends ici que le PCQ et la CAQ sont au « centre-droit ». Le PLQ, le PQ, tout le monde est au « centre-droit » ! Quelle étiquette confortable: tu peux être contre les pauvres et les immigrant·es, mais avec un vernis raisonnable. C'est ridicule.
