This really is the only answer. Our dependence on fossil fuels must end. For our planet, and for our society.

If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can. And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels. electrek.co/2026/04/18/m...

This week marks the 83rd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. We remember the courage of our ancestors in the face of their annihilation.

This reminds me that Stephen Harper wanted to privatize prisons.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise. In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival. This is why sustained investment in science & research matters. tinyurl.com/f4n4anhk

This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo

The Strokes ended their Coachella set with the song "Oblivius", highlighting US involvement in the overthrow/deaths of Patrice Lumumba, Omar Torrijos, Mohammad Mosaddegh, Juan José Torres, Martin Luther King Jr, Jacobo Árbenz, Salvador Allende, Jaime Roldós, and destruction in Gaza and Iran.

Another country just ejected the right wing in favor of anti-corruption progressives. I’m sensing a trend. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/w...

The Balloon Lumpfish uses its unique adhesive discs to cling to underwater surfaces, creating a serene scene in the cold waters of the Northwest Pacific.

Parents of the 168 children murdered by the US government have written to Pope Leo. They wrote of their children and their deep grief. They thanked him for being a voice for peace. Meanwhile silence from the White House. But there is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in.

Dudes. As a society we taught young women to walk with keys between their fingers in dark parking lots and to carry pepper spray in their purse. So yes. I’m asking you to be responsible for the actions of other men. After all, that’s what you’ve asked of women for centuries. It’s your turn.

"Mother of All Energy Shocks" Boosts Global EV Sales Even Higher Battery electric vehicle sales are growing due to high gas prices and consumers' fear of continued market volatility (otherwise known as "energy insecurity"). markhamhislop.substack.com/p/mother-of-...

WTF

"(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.”

Trust your common sense: yes, a series of massive fossil fuel supply shocks is, in fact, going to radically accelerate the process of electrification & decarbonization.

I'm watching this over coffee this morning and holy shit do we, as a society, need to destroy these toxic peacock men in the world. They have no place among humanity.

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸 Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in. This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale. Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

From blaming Stage 4 cancer patients to questioning the need for medications (she's only ever taken Tylenol (not Turkish) didn't cha know!), Smith holds any sign of frailty in contempt. If eugenics was legal, she'd be the chief eugenicist.

These incredible Buff Tip Moths blend in so well with branches that you might mistake them for sticks. Nature's masters of disguise are truly fascinating!

Smith consistently demonstrates clear hostility towards individuals with disabilities. Her actions are malicious, and she must be removed. #cdnpoli #yeg #yyc #yql #FuckTheUCP #FuckSmith #abpoli #ableg

“Koch brother groups have tried to derail public transit plans in other cities around the country, from Little Rock, Arkansas and central Utah, to Nashville and Michigan. They have frequently called such projects ‘wasteful spending’. The Koch organization is also heavily invested in fossil fuels.”

So when you’re telling the truth, say it persuasively, and REPEAT YOURSELF. Saying it once isn’t nearly enough. #UrbanTruth (repetition works)

This is how it's done.

When it comes to spreading disinformation, dark money buys a lot of repetition, because repetition works. Repetition works. Repetition works. Repetition works. (Did we mention that repetition works?) #UrbanTruth

The company Emrod is already transmitting energy over kilometers without cables, using microwaves and laser-based safety. In Finland 🇫🇮

Fossil Fuels Are Not The Future….

China should be throwing Trump parades.

Oil & gas started the war but batteries are going to be the victors.

Local woman wakes up, gives the UCP electoral boundary colouring pages so they can colour out of the lines to their hearts content while the Elections Alberta electoral boundaries remain unchanged, makes oatmeal.

Unbelievable corruption right in front of our faces.
