Danielle Smith's Alberta government has announced that they will use the Notwithstanding Clause to protect three laws (all targeting trans people) from court challenges. NEW from me in @xtramagazine.com on the lies they're using to justify such a massive move ⬇️ xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

Silver Star Glacier is the last glacier in the Methow Valley, WA. There were a dozen others when I began working in the watershed in 1984. As summer glacier runoff declines, at lest beavers have returned to buffer late summer low flow glacierchange.blog/2025/11/15/s... #glaciology #climatechagne

There are many things we still don't know about CWD in deer. What WE DO KNOW is that game farms spread it. UCP doing for CWD in deer what it did for measles in people?

Remember: the government invoking the Notwithstanding clause in advance of any complete legal process means that they admit that their legislation cannot pass the Oakes test and hence will not be deemed to be a "reasonable limit" to Charter rights, "demonstrably justified in a free and democratic...

canadians should read this. "At the end of September the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), to which all working Canadians outside Quebec are subscribed, held $8 billion of Nvidia stock as its largest single equity holding. In fact, its eight largest stock holdings were all AI stocks."

One day we’ll look back on this as one of the stupidest things we’ve done.

On Nov. 18, 1929, a 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the south coast of Newfoundland. It produced an eight-metre high tsunami that swept into the coast of the island. It killed nearly 30 people. This is the story of the Grand Banks Earthquake. 🧵 1/8

“Altho several states had ZERO homicides in pregnant women during the study pd, other states had MORE THAN 100 deaths of preg women per 1 million live births….likely reflect[ing] differences in state-level firearm-related legislation + policies re: access to comprehensive reproductive health care”🧪🛟

OPINION: School enrolment numbers show how unbalanced high property values have made Metro Vancouver's communities, where some bear a much larger burden of growth and public services.

Remember that video of the Malinois pulling up his toy with a string and a pulley? That, but wolves and crabs.

Doctors request vaccinations be given to children at hospitals (when parents are willing to do so); province says no. Bananas. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

In noncommutative mathematics, A*B ≠ B*A In noncommutative geography, you can go from point A to point B, but when you retrace your steps along the same path, you don't get back to point A

The potential impact of the TransMountain pipeline taxation model change if the BC Finance Minister approves them. If this goes through it will be devastating to local taxpayers.

I'll take all the tickets.

Another good story by Penny Daflos. Been at this 4 terms and I even learned a thing or 2 from this.

Latest for @pressprogress.ca: One day after @amnesty.org report confirmed what First Nations + doctors have been saying — that living near oil & gas causes all kinds of health harms — 🇨🇦 PM @mark-carney.bsky.social announced more support for LNG infrastructure in BC pressprogress.ca/fossil-fuel-...

This is such a great example of the evolutionary effect where, for instance, cervids like the Irish deer developed larger and larger antlers as display until they became so maladaptive that they went extinct. I think some pterosaur crests were said to be like that too?

Be ungovernable

Subsequently named the Seafront landslide (I got in trouble once for failing to call it that). And immortalised in children's literature!

so much easier to see and map landslides when there's new high-res imagery uploaded (Wolf Den Mtn in the Spatsizi country)

My favorite image from after the 2016 Kaikoura landslide, which I saved after seeing it on @davepetley.bsky.social Landslide Blog

EVERY SINGLE FOSSIL FUEL IS MORE EXPENSIVE IN THE TRUMP-PLEASING HIGH-FOSSIL-FUEL SCENARIO I wish I'd had the time to read this whole report properly earlier this week: the scale of this rake-step / self-own is absolutely incredible THANKYOU donald trump for pushing the IEA to include all of this

Our fields need to sit with the fact that these "practical men" are insane. They have been shown in no uncertain terms that continuing with fossil fuels will kill our civilization and their response has been to defund us. They do the same things with pandemics, with water supplies, with ecologies.

@chucktingle.bsky.social is working on new bestseller, I see.

The point that the person responsible for the state of the logging industry today is Rich Coleman 20 years ago seems to go over everyones head. In some cases due to true ignorance, in some cases due to ostritch-in-sand unwillingness to acknowledge past mistakes, and sometimes deliberately.

New paper alert! Super excited to see this paper (by @debsmita.bsky.social, Ganti, and me) in print! We show a major reorganization of multiscale bedform state at the initiation of significant suspended bed material transport in flume & field data. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Mathematicians recently built a “unified theory” of stalagmites, those dramatic spires that dot every subterranean landscape. 🧵

Lots of bad news out there, but, Tesla investors have lost more than a combined $140 billion since they approved Elon's trillion-dollar pay package, so at least there's that.
