Not sure how billionaire owned and developed AGI is going to save us, particularly when it comes to climate change. We already know what to do, we simply choose not to do it. We'll ask it how to stop climate change, and it'll say "Stop using fossil fuels". Then we'll shut it off.

No one is free until we're all free, and our communities won't be whole or just or thriving and just until they are safe for trans folks to live and grow and enjoy life like everyone else. Love and solidarity to every trans person everywhere. #TransDayOfRemembrance #TransRightsAreHumanRights

The BC NDP government talks a lot about rebuilding the forest sector, but they don't talk at all about addressing the simple reality that this industry has cut too much, too fast, for too long, in too many places, and that this still continues. www.biv.com/news/resourc... #bcpoli

BC Greens Fight the Oligarchs tour. The first time I heard the word 'oligarch' was in Russia in 1993. I thought it was a Russian word! Former KGB and Communist Party mucky-mucks ended up owning all the things. Russians were not impressed with those guys. Oligarchs are just as bad here.

**Beep Beep** We’re on tour!! 🚗 This month, we’re travelling across the province, meeting with communities building bright solutions to reclaim BC’s economy for working people, not the billionaires. Fighttheoligarchs.ca ⚡ #bcgreens #britishcolumbia #billionares #wealthtax #greenparty #bcpoli

Last week, we asked Mark Carney a simple question about the Ksi Lisims LNG terminal: “How much taxpayer money are we prepared to invest in a project that is American-owned and foreign built?” He deflected for 3 mins without answering the question. Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tD8...

I wonder: Countries that import O&G must pay with US$. The way you get US$ is to sell stuff into the US. But with the US tariffs, it's harder to do that, making it harder to import O&G, which makes renewables all the more attractive because for the most part that's only an up-front cost.

Fast-tracking Ksi Lisims LNG gives Trump’s billionaire donors a direct line to Canadian public dollars. It’s time to take this project off the fast-track list and stop pouring public dollars into fossil fuels.

Another Nation Building Project™ funded and built by the American nation in Canada using Korean-built floating LNG compressor plants with Korean steel. Asia gets the gas and Wall Street gets the cash. A handful of Canadians are needed only to dig it up and ship it out. T'was always thus though.

The day pipeline security followed reporter @writermjs.bsky.social — and what he’s learned since about CSIS — has him asking a lot of questions. thenarwhal.ca/csis-resourc...

CBC once again called the Ksi Lisims LNG project “Indigenous-led” on the National last night, despite the fact that it’s 100% American-owned by a Texas shell company, Western LNG. Yikes!!!!! Anyway, here’s a very funny video that breaks this down: youtu.be/Lt6Hmp9ndkI?...

About halfway through Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump by @attackerman.bsky.social. It's packed with receipts and demonstrates quite well that Trump is not an anomaly, not by a long shot. This matters because getting him out of office won't change things.

What in the ever living fuck? Clean hydrogen from methane? More proof that the fossil fuel industry has captured the Canadian government. Furthermore, this should be against the greenwashing regulation, but other parts of the budget water that down. www.canada.ca/en/environme...

100% accurate. Canada dropping elbows and bending knees to export two things: 1) Gas to Asia 2) Money to Wall Street in general, and Trump buddies in particular. Actually, 2) is not quite true... the money will leave Asia and land on Wall Street untouched and unsullied by grubby Canadian hands.

Let's take a look at the so-called "Nation-Building Projects" (more like nation-draining! ed.) in the federal budget. Contrary to Liberal propaganda, these are not big, bold projects essential to the future of the country that need to be built at a "scale and a speed never before seen." A thread...

They're going from coal to solar/wind/battery, bypassing the "gas as a bridge fuel" stage. Lesson here for Canada and the government's dreams of being a so-called "energy superpower" via fossil fuel expansion.

LNG Canada offering "temporary relocation support" to some Kitimat residents affected by the pollution from flaring, which as LNG Canada is always quick to point out, is "temporary and totally legal and regulated so we're doing nothing wrong you whiners now shut up." thenarwhal.ca/lng-canada-k...

"Trump threatened to cut funding if New Yorkers voted for Mamdani. They did it anyway." This is the way. When you take on a bully and win, the win is permanent. When you take on a bully and lose, the loss is temporary. Bullies always lose in the end. www.cbc.ca/news/world/m... A lesson for Canada.

OK, this @dogwoodbc.bsky.social video is pretty damn funny... youtube.com/shorts/hxU8c...

Dick Cheney died far too old and far too free. The fact that such monsters get to pass away in their eighties surrounded by loved ones instead of alone in a cage is an indictment of our entire civilization.

The title is a little click-baity, but it's Rick Beato so I watched anyway. The first half is just tricking the AI with math. The real interesting part is the second half where he demonstrates the uselessness of AI as a source of information. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiwA...

Most of the Americans I follow are posting about No Kings and White House destruction. Meanwhile in Canada:

New analysis of Prime Minister Mark Carney’s first 100 days after the federal election show oil and gas, mining and other industrial groups made up about 60 per cent of lobbying records. Environmental groups couldn’t get a word in. thenarwhal.ca/carney-natur...

Canada's fossil fuel enthusiasts say they need 'moar pipelines now' to ship oil and gas to growing demand in Asian countries. Meanwhile in 2024 the world's largest Asian country was installing the wind and solar equivalent of five nuclear power stations per week: www.abc.net.au/news/science...

The “Bush being informed about 9/11” meme has been defeated.

Thatcher said "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." The trouble with capitalism is that if you run out of other people's money, you can do it again with a new limited company

Israel broke the last cease fire, let's hope they don't break this one. Trump's hatred of Obama is driving this deal though, so it might just hold. Obama got a Nobel Peace prize, so Trump wants one too. If the deal falls apart, no prize for Trump. Only US can hold Israel to the deal and force peace.

I walked into the lounge last night to find my teenage son watching this. We have long admired @kurzgesagt.org and found their videos to be extremely illuminating. But this one in particular I think is so important right now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfN...

Love when @hankgreen.bsky.social makes a video screaming what I have screaming in my head. It's good to not feel so alone.

Meanwhile Canada goes all-in for oil and gas, with new solar and wind all but banned in Alberta, the land of wind and sun. www.cbc.ca/news/science...

Waiting for a Star Wars reboot.

Everyone needs to see AI for what it is—a project that undermines truth & agency while transferring wealth from individual creators to Silicon Valley companies & VC’s. Rooted in exploitation of humanity & the planet, it’s a tool for the radical right to claim dominion & end representative democracy.

"AI" is absolutely and ONLY a marketing term, and at this point if it's being used, the intent behind it is to overpromise to the consumer/end user on the program's actual capabilities. And, of course, none of the "AI" is actually intelligent in any meaningful way.

Oh great. Another tax payer funded tar sands pipeline across BC in the works. At least it'll be Alberta taxpayers, to begin with anyway.

Here we go with the press trying to stir up shit. Sure Canadians are barred from buying tickets, but most Americans are barred from buying tickets too. The purpose of the policy is not to bar Canadians, but to allow only locals. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

All this talk of SMRs being built in factories and thus benefiting from mass production is a bullshit lie. Small reactors are planned, but not a single one will be factory built. No SMR factories exist or are planned. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
