Today is #EarthDay, so it's fitting that I received our electricity bill this morning. After deducting the fixed connection fee & taxes, the cost to run our house--including space and water heating, cooking, and charging our EV--was exactly (checks notes) $0.00 for 2 months. Hooray for solar panels!
For the record: The Washington Post is run by partisan hacks who think we won't remember that they took the *exact* opposite stance when it was Republicans pushing their own gerrymandering grab in Texas last year -- *without* putting it up for a vote.
If someone canโt clearly say โYes, Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,โ they shouldnโt be confirmed to anything.
โThe end of fossil fuels is no longer a distant goal; it is an unfolding reality. The task now is to govern it,โ
Watch what they do, not what they say!
Exxon getting out of the retail gasoline business in Hong Kong.
"Hong Kong gasoline prices are among the highest in the world, averaging over $15 a gallon....The local government, meanwhile, has been encouraging a switch to electric vehicles"
It begins.
Happy Earth Day

What's new in Ubuntu 26.04 LTS versus 24.04 LTS? You better sit down for this, as with 4 releases over 2 years, there's 1 huge set of changes on the way. #ubuntu
In his first major move to address the economic fallout of the war in the Middle East, PM Mark Carney has temporarily axed Canadaโs federal fuel tax.
But experts warn the sugar high of tax relief fails to address Canadaโs dependence on a volatile energy source. @zoeyunker.bsky.social reports.

Comic: Types of Board Game. [Each panel has a person, a person with a ponytail, a person with shoulder-length hair, and a person with a white hat seated around a table with different board game and pieces on top.

This is good, provided that it ends with ACTIONS rather than just more empty words and non-mandatory carbon reduction targets.

Screenshot of a tweet by Pop Base (@PopBase) reporting that The Onion has successfully acquired Alex Jones' Infowars after 17 months of legal battles, with plans to turn it into a parody of itself with support from Sandy Hook families. The post includes a photo of a visibly distressed Alex Jones and the new rainbow-colored Infowars logo.
Karma is a betch, Alex Jones.
Good. Itโs easy to forget that climate change denial & shilling for fossil fuel companies provided a template for Tufton Street, Brexit & pretty much every egregious example of persuading populations to vote against their own interests. The story of Don Pearlman should be taught in kindergartensโฆ
How much "loss" do fire departments report annually? Police? The armed forces? Roads? Schools? Solid waste collection? Wastewater treatment? Public health agencies?
๐ Canada ๐ Post ๐ is ๐ a ๐ public ๐ service ๐
Nothing proves how capitalism has brain rotted everyone than thinking the post office, hospitals, public transit, libraries, etc. need to turn a profit to be worthwhile.
Canada Post isn't supposed to make a profit. it's a public service.
Why would anyone expect a public service to make money?
If we're going to use this as a standard, how much money did the RCMP and the Canadian Armed Forces "lose" in the past eight years?

Screenshot of a tweet by NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman (@astro_reid) describing filming an "Earthset" from space, comparing it to watching a sunset at the beach from "the most foreign seat in the cosmos." He notes he captured a cell phone video while fellow astronaut Christina Koch (@Astro_Christina) used a Nikon with a 400mm lens for professional shots, with Vic Glover (@AstroVicGlover) and Jeremy Hansen (@Astro_Jeremy) watching from window 3.
Continuation of Reid Wiseman's tweet, describing how he used an iPhone with 8x zoom to capture Earth rising over the Moon's surface through the docking hatch window, noting the view is uncropped and uncut and comparable to what the human eye would see. The image shows Earth as a small bright crescent peeking over the dark, cratered lunar surface against the blackness of space.
The most amazing video ever taken on an iPhone.
The Iranian leadership has forced hundreds of Ships toward the United States, mostly Texas, Louisiana, and Alaska, to get their Oil - Thank you very much! President DONALD J. TRUMP 32 ReTruths 152 Likes Apr 20, 2026 at 1:28
You know when you were little and covered your eyes to hide, thinking if you couldnโt see them they couldnโt see you? Thatโs Trumps current relationship with truth. Itโs object permanence in reverse; reality treated as contingent on perception rather than independent of it. Itโs a dementia symptom.
Canada and Luxembourg have a growing bilateral partnership across trade, commerce, technology, and defence.ย
Prime Minister Frieden and I spoke today about deepening our partnership in areas like satellite communications and establishing the Defence, Security, and Resilience Bank.
No, it's a statement of fact!
