Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Well this is not good news

What the hell is going on in Canadian media?

Why was journalist Tina Yazdani — who was dogged in her coverage of Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government — suddenly fired from CityNews without any explanation to the public?

This is potential-major-press-freedom-story levels of concerning:

Brain: I am going to give you so many ideas.

What Ontario can learn from Amsterdam’s cycling culture In Amsterdam, a bicycle is not a quirky accessory. It is standard urban infrastructure. That sight left me curious about its implications for mobility and emissions in Ontario.

“If people worldwide biked at rates of Dutch, avg 2.6 km per person per day, global emissions could fall by 686 million tonnes of CO2 annually, comparable to Canada’s total annual emissions … For short trips, cycling is often faster, cheaper, and healthier” www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/07/o...

Bike lanes don’t cause congestion, cars do - Halifax Examiner If our premier and HRM mayor truly want to demonstrate fiscal responsibility they’d build those bike lanes faster, because the cost of car-centric infrastructure is unsustainable.

“Even as the cost of infrastructure for active transportation is being used as a reason for inaction, evidence is accumulating that when the full economic cost is considered, driving costs society more, while cycling and other forms of active transportation save society money.”— @sflkirk.bsky.social

Oh, this is 100% me but with writing music haha

Phantom Tollbooth should be required reading.

Think you're posting about your books too much?

First of all, no you're not.

The most insanely online people (talking about myself here) don't see nearly enough book promo.

Secondly, if someone is annoyed by it they're just a scold who wouldn't buy your book anyway. Carry on, you're good.

No better feeling either!!

Me, listening to the first spring storm at 3am:

I wish more people cared about bettering themselves simply because. I wish more people wanted to learn and wanted others to learn. I wish more people loved humanity and art enough to want more for us all.

Some things never change.

Belgian commutes pay off: Employees earn up to €810 for cycling to work One in five people in Flanders commuted by bike and received compensation last year, but this figure is significantly lower in Brussels and Wallonia.

In Belgium, employees receive compensation for every kilometre they ride, with some cyclists earning up to €810 per year.

And why not? Biking saves public money for everyone.

“All employees in Belgium who cycle to work are entitled to a bicycle allowance of €0.28 per kilometre of their commute.”

The absolute best stickers!

With the recent downfall of Sora, I look forward to the inevitable downfall of LLMs. The Twitter bots are getting desperate and telling people that novels and writing is extinct.

Novels are only extinct if you don't read them and writers don't write them.

Do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

I took a day to process the news & I am still really mad about the cancellation of Starfleet Academy. I do think the loud a$$holes screaming about it being too woke were part of the problem, as well as the staggering stupidity to not realize that every series can't be aimed at the same demographic.
