Downtown McBride, BC was *not* the place to see tonight’s aurora 🤷

Failed UCP candidate sues media for reporting her actual words 🙃

Is this a Hunter S. Thompson story

I spoke with Matt Preprost about the water issues facing NE B.C. as #climatechange intersects with municipal and industrial #water use. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social

don't forget to switch your clocks back an hour and cancel that one-month Sportsnet subscription you got to watch the Jays epic playoff run!

Congratulations to former @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social and @moshlab.bsky.social graduate Rulan Xiao on his recent publication in Hydrological Processes! As per moshlab.org tradition, here is Rulan with his first authored paper mug. #fuelmoisture #remotesensing #wildfire doi.org/10.1002/hyp....

Heads up @unbcgeographyensc.bsky.social and @unbc.bsky.social students! I'll be holding a field school information session next Wednesday at 4:30 pm in Room 10-4588.

Who’s still here in the 18th inning

open source FTW!

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

oh hey also, it's monday morning again www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

I see we are doing that “waking up and it’s still dark” thing now for another five months

Noone* could have predicted this *everyone

Listening to the Jays smack the Yankees around on the radio. So good. 🧢🧢

You might see me on CBC's The National tonight (!), talking about the storm that trapped hundreds of trekkers on the north/east side of Everest and its connections to #climatechange. Here is a collection of satellite loops from 01 - 05 October showing the development and progression of the storm.

Will be bringing this little nugget into our upcoming departmental meeting on AI policies

The realization that we will forever carry the burden of not attempting to stop another genocide is heavy. www.cbc.ca/news/world/i...

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” 🎶🎶

no rapturing over here so I guess I need to get this lecture ready for tomorrow <sighs>

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

"Canada, other fossil fuel-producing nations, derailing world climate targets, report says Report says boost in production is widening the gap to reach Paris agreement targets" www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

This is how its done. youtu.be/_GXNJ3V9lzg?...

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

The standing ovation in Parliament today to honour Charlie Kirk was one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever seen from that building, and I gotta tell you, that list is long

It’s a buried on the CBC homepage, but maybe our elected officials can find this UN report and actually do something meaningful about the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Also: what’s stopping them from doing it to a Canadian boat, since they’ve long argued that Canadians are bringing drugs into the US?

Men will literally hang giant underwater curtains in the oceans to try and prevent ice sheets from melting instead of reducing emissions.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

This is the way. Trans rights are human rights.

This is so crucial. When people think about these land comparisons, they don't think about the entire sprawling infrastructure behind FF.

got every one of my students - and myself - using Git and Github *successfully* yesterday in my advanced geospatial analysis class! #highered #coding #python

Thinking of friends, students, and colleagues in Nepal (and from Nepal) as they stand up - at sometimes great personal cost - for their country and freedoms. Photos from Tihar and fieldwork last fall.

Masked because they know that being a white nationalist is fucking embarrassing. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Does your research involve #climatechange? It seems like people are forgetting what climate change actually means, so give me your wildest climate change facts - I'll go 1st: - globally, glaciers outside Greenland and Antarctica will lose 1/4 to 1/2 of their mass by 2100 (more in many regions) 🧪❄️🥼

Amazingly, Roberts was invited to Canada to speak at the recent Liberal party retreat. Whoever thought this was a good idea should be barred from office.

100% The fact that *anyone* in the party thought this was a good idea is extremely disturbing.

Fun fact: this would be true if we lived on Pluto

It’s September 3, we are 10+ days into record breaking temperatures with zero precipitation, and would probably hit the forecast record high of 31C except we are smothered in #wildfire smoke. #climatechange

Musical announcement post: if you are in the southern Ontario area, you should really try to catch Ellen Braun and her band: - Wed Sep 3 (Emmanuel United Church, Waterloo) - Thurs. Sep 4 (Sonic Hall, Guelph) - Fri. Sep 5 (Mills Hardware, Hamilton) Ticket links: www.ellenbraunmusic.com/tour

Floated/paddled down a river yesterday. Highly recommended!

Holy crap - I have a kid entering university this year.

I also don't hang out in Nazi bars.
