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.

Does Carneyโ€™s Gas Tax Cut Send the Wrong Signals? | The Tyee Experts warn that suspending Canadaโ€™s fuel tax offers limited, ill-targeted relief.

In his first major move to address the economic fallout of the war in the Middle East, PM Mark Carney has temporarily axed Canadaโ€™s federal fuel tax.

But experts warn the sugar high of tax relief fails to address Canadaโ€™s dependence on a volatile energy source. @zoeyunker.bsky.social reports.

Good. Itโ€™s 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.

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.

You know when you were little and covered your eyes to hide, thinking if you couldnโ€™t see them they couldnโ€™t see you? Thatโ€™s Trumps current relationship with truth. Itโ€™s object permanence in reverse; reality treated as contingent on perception rather than independent of it. Itโ€™s a dementia symptom.
