US EPA Head speaks at conference for people who wrongly claim that global warming is good for us. And spoiler, he didn’t tell them the truth, that they are irresponsible and uninformed crackpots.
A low point in the history of science, and in the annals of corrupt government.
1/ Hours after Iran and the U.S. reached a ceasefire deal, Israel launched one of its most devastating attacks on Lebanon to date.
Over a hundred strikes in ten minutes - carnage in Beirut, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are sheltering.

Years before Alberta even became a province, First Nations signed Treaties guaranteeing their rights to the land in perpetuity.
A century later, and First Nations are in court this week, using their Treaties to mount one of the strongest challenges to Alberta separatism, writes @readtheorchard.org
While the world waited to see if this psychotic, dementia rattled, narcissist in the White House would destroy an entire civilization, Congress remained on vacation. The problem is not that there are no mechanisms. The problem is that mechanisms only work when people inside them decide to use them
Legendary line
dad: so whats the deal with the war
me: *speaks for 5 min*
dad: wow that is an impressive analysis
me: thanks I took it from a person I follow online who is a subject matter expert
dad: oh whats their name
me: They are a cartoon dog wearing underwear as a face mask called Piss Prevail On Earth
A shocking level of incompetence and willful ignorance in action
Their reactions are the best!
The best and the brightest
I saw this and I had to share it with you. Im sorry.
One of my more boring opinions is that floor crossing is fine in a Westminster system, and we have a Westminster system, and it would be fine to decide to change the system, but just banning floor crossings without changing other aspects of the system will just be weird and awkward. #cdnpoli
Let’s make sure this gets a lot of airtime. The Department of WAR and the automatic DRAFT while they casually constantly threaten BOOTS ON THE GROUND.
Playing chicken with the Housing Accelerator funding has cost too much time & money! Will this ill-prepared performance cost us close to a billion? Projects hang in the balance & require the fulfilment of the agreement with the GoC. #YYCcc, like the #UCP, are proving to be an untrustworthy partner.
A new study predicts that Long Covid will cost OECD economies $135 billion a year, due to people leaving the workforce, lower productivity, and healthcare costs. COVID is not over.
Here's the wildest part. City staff explicitly stated that downzoning the city would drive up housing prices and hurt younger generations, AND THEY STILL RECOMMENDED IT BE DONE.
Screw the next generation as policy is certainly something.
Photo of three men standing on top of rocky terrain. One is wearing a blue zip-up jacket with a blue chambray shirt and tan chinos. One is wearing a green-black checkered jacket with red chamois shirt, white pants, and cowboy hat. The other is wearing a blue parka with with blue jeans.
Two photos. In the first, three men are wearing bomber jackets with blue or white jeans. In the second image, one man is wearing an off white (possibly chamois?) shirt with blue jeans. Another is wearing a blue denim trucker with blue jeans. A third is wearing a blue quilted parka.
Two photos of groups of men. They are wearing Nordic sweaters, olive bomber jackets, flight suits, black-green checkered jackets, cowboy hats, beanies, and jeans.
Two photos. In one, there's a man wearing a brown tweed with a checked shirt. In the other photo, men are wearing bomber jackets and high-waisted cotton pants.
The Artemis II mission reminds me of these 1960s photos of NASA astronauts training in Iceland because they felt the terrain would be similar to what they'd encounter on the moon. The outfits are so great, even some 60 years later.
I went and saw Project Hail Mary.
A guy came in with his service dog and the dog sat there the whole time just concentrating on the movie.
Afterwards I told the guy I was amazed your dog watched the movie like that.
He replied, me too especially because he hated the book.
Man, I miss when the US wasn’t completely crazy
Thank you Leah Gazan for pointing out that Marilyn Gladu is ANTI-CHOICE. She voted for last 3 Conservative anti-abortion bills since 2016. Also, previous Conservative floor crossers Matt Jeneroux, Michael Ma, and Chris d’Entremont are designated as anti-choice by ARCC. Does Mark Carney even care?
What many people have refused to understand (not Marisa, she gets it) is that the moment CJ Roberts swore him in under that rotunda, Trump was effectively crowned King of the United States. This is what monarchy is like! And why we ditched it 250ish years ago.
Ok on a serious note, it cannot be exaggerated how bad formalized Iranian control of the Strait is for the world. The entire global economy rests on an American guarantee of free commercial shipping. That guarantee is gone. We don’t know exactly what will happen but none of it will be good.
Calgarians, hope you’re cool with multigenerational housing because our kids are never moving out. #yyccc
To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎
Join us in calling on Big Tech to run data centers on 24/7 renewable energy – or not at all.

Oh yeah definitely the one thing sci fi and fantasy has been missing is the male gaze
Literally a hole in the ground countries and corporations can throw bribes into
Disappointing. City council, full of dudes, makes a decision to repeal a housing plan that served everyone, for no plan at all. Of course, no GBA+ analysis will be completed on the hearing, decision, or forward plans, if they are ever developed. Bunch of dudes just secured their voting base instead.
we cannot live this way.
A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭
Public health leadership in a nutshell. Their supposed one big win of the pandemic - but it's not even theirs, and they blew it anyway.
They had one job. Science gave them a miracle. All they had to do was distribute it.
And they botched that so badly, people are rejecting other vaccines now too.
