Cool to see this prediction for 2026 by Environment Canada colleagues compared with other predictions. The smaller uncertainty estimates for 2026 are a little smaller than error bars in recent years but not unsual for the CanSIPS seasonal prediction system they come from.

Buckle up for more #climateweirding (hat tip to @katharinehayhoe.com for the term) as 2026 global temperature is forecast to be among the top 4 warmest years on record (along with the last years) - more details here climatedata.ca/news/2026-li...

We always want to know if a heat wave was "caused by climate change" - thanks to a new Rapid Event Attribution system we have this plain language blog on how climate change contributed to probability of summer 2025's heat events & how this will increase in future climatedata.ca/news/rapid-e...

Ok I know this is blasphemy but am I the only one that would like to put TV and movies on 1.25 or at least 1.1 speed sometimes

I have saved over 30 feeds on this website and literally every single one is (rightfully) about the same subject regardless of the topic - only exceptions are Travelscapes and Standup Comedy (which is perhaps only because it's so quiet - last post on that feed is over a day old).

Following in @clairaturvey.bsky.social and @drspacejunk.bsky.social's #tabclosed footsteps since I perpetually have like 90 tabs open and only ever look at the last 10 but all of these seemed worth saving at one point...

A List of Predictions Made in 1926 About 2026 🧵

As a class of '89 grad who started playing Dungeons and Dragons in Grade 6 like the Hawkins kids did, I can say that finale really did its job. The whole Stranger Things series really did capture the "Stand By Me" for our generation thing it was going for.

Well 2025 thats a wrap. Looks like I skeet way more when I'm on vacation amd my most popular skeets are random sarcastic comments. Alt text for image preview: a cloud of profile photos and a graph of bluesky engagement by month. www.madebyolof.com/bluesky-wrap...

Ok french learners what apps are we using after finishing duolingo and mauril? // Bienvenue mes amis qui apprennent le français - quel est l'appli qu'on doit utiliser après avoir complété duolingo et mauril?

Metallica called. They suggested you ride the lightning.

Fabulous thread

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

How I'm walking out of 2025

On this last #caturday of the year, enjoy this cute and funny video that the daughter of @magic.wizards.com's lead designer did for a class in film school.

Grandpa when are we going to fall asleep? After we stop talking... But I stopped talking! You're talking right now sweetie. But I did stop talking already!

✨🌈 As a mage, here’s your seasonal reminder: one accepting adult can cut an LGBTQ youth’s risk of self-harm by nearly 40%. In a world full of shadows, be the one who casts healing light. Be the mentor, the guardian, the safe haven. Blessed Yule & Bright Solstice. 🕯️❄️🌈

At the optometrist today getting my glasses adjusted... Technician: what's your name again? Me: Trevor Murdock My grandson, immediately, and with conviction: No it's not!

Today I learned what happens when you go into a grocery store with a 3 year old and let them set the agenda. Verdict: lots of running, spinning the toddler cart around, hanging out at holiday displays, watching them "work", and 35 minutes later checking out with 1 item you came for & 5 you didn't.

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Climate change and Christmas Trees!? Check out this seasonal blog by colleagues of mine with @uwaterloo.ca Christmas Tree Lab on how climate projections on ClimateData.ca can help guide decisions on site conditions, irrigation, and species diversification. ow.ly/ZeLQ50XE6tV

Ok last night we had the first SNL episode of the year with a Christmas theme- as per ancient tradition NOW it's not too early for holiday season decorations, songs, and things...

Great visualization about how warming in the Arctic (like we're having right now) is leading to colder winters with more snowfall 👇

Is it normal when learning another language that your accent is a million times better when talking to yourself in the shower in that language than when you're speaking it with real people or being tested on it because you need it for your job? Or is it just me?

My toxic trait is that I think fruitcake is actually good

Ok friends based on this skircle I think I need to organize a gaming con but where half the talks are about climate change science

Wow how did I not realize that Stranger Things came out two days ago

Grizzly Bear & Brown Bear Moose & Elk Orca Bobcat Barred Owl

Trans day of remembrance, thinking of all those lost and what we can do to help protect those who are here. Aside from the bigger stuff, call shit out. Normalize being hostile to transphobic "jokes" and comments.

Adaptation 🤝 Mitigation

Chicago cyclists bought out all street vendors so they could go home and be safe from ICE. The cyclists then distributed the food among those in need throughout the city.

It's getting to the point where wearing a mask in public people assume I'm sick and shouldn't be there. When folks are confused by why I still mask I'm finding "never had Covid and willing to do easy things to keep it that way" the most effective response lately. Some even seem to suggest they might

Leaf blowers and fireworks should be banned.

Isn't it fascinating how journalists do seem to be capable of avoiding passive voice when a cyclist collides with a pedestrian but not when it's a cyclist getting hit by a car.

What if the primary point of the 51st state rhetoric is to scare Canadians into not pointing out the increasing differences between Canada and the US as we continue to be a democracy while the US descends deeply into a fascist dictatorship.

Hey climatesky, some colleagues asked for recommended resources on *transformational* #adaptation and while I get the concept I'm not at all familiar with the literature - any suggestions from good foundational papers to practical case studies?

🧡 Sept 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day. We honour Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and confront ongoing colonial violence. Reflection isn’t enough. Take action tomorrow and every day on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

Public service announcement: Pocket.com is closing and you only have until Oct 8 to export your data. Anyone else who has oodles of cool @dndbeyond.com related links and things like that stored there - here's your heads up. Dang really liked being able to categorize and tag links there.

Been watching all Star Trek in chronological order & during SNW learned season 3 was coming out - neat coincidence so I shifted to weekly & that has been awesome. But now what? Go back to binge mode & watch SNW s4 & 5 out of order or put the whole project on hold until they come out?!

Almost 17 years to the day after replacing and oil furnace with a heat pump, this beauty has just replaced a natural gas furnace. They've gotten a lot smaller! Been over a decade since moving from the house with the first one so have to remember set points and difference between day and night etc

A cool natural experiment using cellphone data finds that, when people relocate to more walkable areas, they walk more and are more active. Why does this matter? Because many related studies were affected by self-selection bias, where people who like to walk might choose to live in walkable places

Hey Snoop Dog, my grandson has two aunties and I can assure you there's nothing to be afraid of if your grandson has questions about a home with two moms. Kids have no problem understanding love, just leave whatever baggage & assumptions you have out of it and it won't be weird or hard or anything.

Slightly diminish a band: Hug

Inventor of leaf blower: what if we replaced rakes with something noisier, more expensive, actually takes longer, uses gas, requires maintenance, and is hard on worker's backs? Lose-lose times seven!?!?! Genius!
