"It's hard to imagine atmospheric science in the United States without NCAR." Russell Vought and the anti-science zealots that have overrun the National Science Foundation are preparing to dismantle America's global leadership in weather research. Spend 6 minutes with the people affected.

1/ Yes. Nuclear weapons aren´t super expensive, they´re just taboo. Canada should contribute to NATO´s nuclear deterrent independent of America's. Also, the US needs to be confident that invading Canada will hurt. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVhu...

no worries, we haven't changed. You're as welcome as ever.

very cool curb city solution for EV charging... bring your own cable, and parking spots just have a charging curb. Built by Rheinmetall (they make tanks)... initial deployments in Germany. video (in German): #EVCharging #cityEV www.youtube.com/watch?v=IveD...

Canada should be adopting higher European vehicle safety standards, and rejecting American ones #NotJustBikes That way we can participate in their market (which include Aus & NZ and other parts of the world) nebula.tv/videos/notju...

@agingwheels.bsky.social You know you want this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XXX...

1/ Grade separated crossings needed for the main bike path across St-Charles, St-John's, and Sources. Those are major car sewers that, by design, will harvest people from time to time. #westisland #quebec montrealgazette.com/news/local-n...

In Canada, we need something like NEVI, to get chargers installed across the country; accept Euro homologation to get Euro EVs here; and trade tariffs on Chinese EV's for investment. US wants us out of "their" auto-business, so new goal: make transport cheaper, so our economy runs at lower costs.

1/ Just saw NJB´s, um biopic? on John Forester. In the 80´s, my dad got me Effective Cycling, by John Forester, it was published by MIT press. I figured it was gospel. Had no idea what kind of fraud he was. nebula.tv/videos/notju...

Is it just me? I keep thinking Trump asked to see Carney to order the Jay's to let the Yankees win. #elbowsup

1/ Strange CBC report about batteries: It contrasts "lithium batteries" vs. "solid state", saying that while "solid state" is more energy dense but expensive, but "lithium" is cheaper but flammable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bz4i... #StopBurningStuff #EV #Electrification

@simonoxfphys.com Why do we need new laws? "Fraud" takes care of it: * The perpetrator made a false statement they knew was untrue, * intended for the victim to rely on it, * and the victim did so to their financial detriment nebula.tv/videos/simon... #StopBurningStuff #climatechange

@acollierastro.bsky.social saw your top 5 non-science fields... Weird to reject comp. sci. from the list, but include Math. Uni faculty is: "Math & Comp. Sci." or "Engineering & Comp. Sci." It's either both or neither. Engineering? Lessons written in blood, not hypotheses. nebula.tv/videos/angel...

Norwegian Nobel Committee unlikely to appreciate threats to Greenland and Canada. @tldrnews.bsky.social #never51 nebula.tv/videos/tldrn...

1/ Senator from Maine sent us Handy instructions for how to join the US. x.com/MLABrennanDa... in following messages.

I´m kind of late to the party but... @tldrnews.bsky.social kind of hilarious to publish a video about CANZUK on June 23rd... in Québec, that´s St-Jean Baptiste, the national holiday lamenting the British conquest of New France... nebula.tv/videos/tldrn...

Listening to a fascinating podcast featuring my old friend Rachel Konrad talking about the tech bros, Musk and the weird twisted drive of the uber elite to convert the USA to a monarchy. Very informative thefuelpodcast.com/a-survival-g...

Elon Musk didn't build cars or rockets, or companies. Tesla and SpaceX employees did.

If the Americans decide to move militarily, this podcast says it´s pretty hopeless. What nobody brought up was nuclear weapons. It´s likely time for Canada to invest in those. We don´t have the size to deter the Americans with anything else. open.spotify.com/episode/3Blk...

People using the words "Socialism" or "Capitalism" feels like people arguing whether we should be brushing our teeth ALL THE TIME, or NEVER. With either choice, you lose your teeth. both are wrong. The correct answer really is SOMETIMES...

fwiw... I´m a quebecer, and I cancelled amazon prime after they pulled out of the province because "unions bad!" Anybody know where I can buy "F Elon" stickers now?

Yay! montreal.ctvnews.ca/quebec-passe...

People switching here from the bad place citing "don't train on my AI" ... please note... bluesky data is completely public. EVERYBODY can train EVERY AI on bluesky posts... including bad place people. X pledged not to let others train, only them. bluesky's model is let everyone (not no-one) train.

Trump's going to have us build a wall, and we're going to pay for it... www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1T8... strangely appropriate tha "Jorge Barreras" (George Barrier) investigated the broder issue... He did a great job, as did Andrew Chang.

@potholer54.bsky.social Is this you? I love your stuff on youtube. www.youtube.com/@potholer54
