"(Here in Canada) oil and gas, which is largely foreign-owned, largely U.S.-owned, aren’t doing their part. (Instead)...increasing our emissions and ...demanding that Canadian taxpayers pay the bill for cleaning up the pollution they cause and building pipelines they won’t risk their own money on.”
My new litmus test is that any Democrat who lectures the party on how they should talk to “ordinary people” is unbelievably full of shit and doesn’t deserve your attention or your vote.
I'm going to run for president in 2028 and one of my Day 1 promises is I'm going to hire a couple big bald guys whose only job is to hurl corrupt pols out of public buildings like bouncers ejecting surly drunks, and then yell "and STAY out" at them as they tumble down the steps.
I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
This still makes me so furious. Facing climate catastrophe and we are doubling down on the worst, most backwards industries.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.
Today's Headline And then one day, while I read aloud to my husband the news and felt the widening hole in my heart, he raised his hand to quiet me. I followed his gaze out the window to see in the yard a small fluffy thing with black and white eyespots on its head. A northern pygmy owl beside our door, stout body slightly smaller than my fist. It turned its neck a full half circle to look at me with bright yellow eyes. In an instant, I shifted from disgust with the world to awe. Awe for this fierce bespeckled miracle, this wonder of feather and beak and claw, this small being in the grass looking back at me as if to say, Here is also the news. How surprising the world can be. How quickly, when I let it, amazement overwrites my fear and makes of the hole in my heart a home. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons
I do find it ironic how we have to have all these delicate conversations about what to do about ICE when Trump and co. have executive fiated USAID, DOE, the Wilson Center, institute of peace, CFPB, and now the Forest service
This makes me angry. Not unreasonably angry. I feel quite justified. I am minded to post again a poem I wrote in the fall (and shared fairly recently, so sorry about that). This time, though, it's got some art.
We need to treat this as the world’s biggest wakeup call. Ramp up solar and wind manufacturing 10 fold. Today. Everywhere. Take the power away from the crooked, and empower ourselves. It can be done, and needs to be done.

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you
genuinely fascinating that we’ve hit a point where the full monetization of the internet and ai bot takeover has led to a majority of people wanting tech minimalism
Go to the protests because it’s a reminder to you and to everyone else there that your politics and anger don’t live in a bubble and that message gets stronger to you and to everyone else there the more that people show up
subway ad that says "your idea could be live by the time you reach your stop"
as a culture we have really given "ideas" way too much credit. ideas are a dime a dozen. they happen all the time. the magic is way more in the doing, and the doing's diminished stature is linked to lack of respect for labor and, more recently, skill and expertise.

This is true and I think down to 3 things:
1. The media people who are supposed to discuss it are the ones who have been taken over.
2. The research people have a really hard time measuring it.
3. Professional norms of political neutrality forbid both from pointing fingers at the right.
