Tom Thomson - Grey Sky, Fall, 1914

Fining Exxon right out of existence sounds like a great idea to me.

The Brazilian half of this is a criminal enterprise. The question is, did Louisiana-based Diamond Green Diesel know it was buying tallow from illegally raised cattle?

Thomas Hart Benton - Mount Assiniboine,1964

The best way to use the sun for energy is to convert it directly to electricity. (Interactive Version of the Plot can be found here: kevinverhoff.github.io/random/solar...)

Maynard Dixon - The Plains, 1931

Happy days! After the disastrous fire, Covered Bridge potato chips have returned to west coast stores. Nom nom nom... coveredbridgechips.com/en/

Making polio great again in FL. “Who am I as a government or anyone else, or who am I as a man standing here now to tell you what to do with your body?” That's rich, in a state with a six-week abortion ban.

Listening to this nearly 40 year-old song and thinking about Gaza today.

Nataliya Bagatskaya - A Summer Night, Ukraine, 2025

Oscar Bjorck - Launching the Boat, 1884

Relentless, inexorable progress despite the resistance of the orange buffoon and his despicable billionaire friends. For a brief period in 2025, and for the first time ever in the US, electricity generation from clean sources exceeded that of fossil fuels. www.reuters.com/markets/comm...

On poorly-designed incentives and the irksome legacy of J.P. Morgan that still dictates how commodity prices are set.

No more trophy hunting for big beautiful creatures says British Columbia

This 80%-complete *$6.2 billion* project was shut down to "address concerns related to the protection of national security interests of the United States." The project is led by Ørsted, of Denmark, plus a division of BlackRock. Danish, eh? Expect a Greenland shakedown to restart this project.

Nancy L. Moore - Birches, 2022

Alaskan fishers are poaching BC (and WA, OR and CA) salmon, and the Pacific Salmon Treaty allows it. This must change.

The chart showing the trend in sea ice extent is exactly as predicted 40 years ago.

Be ready for a long legal battle to protect unspoiled forests.

The i's are dotted, the t's are crossed, and the July inflation reports are in: US - 2.7% Canada - 1.7% What was that we heard about tariffs?

Maynard Dixon - Approach to Zion, 1933

This cuts at the myth of "wilderness". That word was weaponized for the cause of colonialism. There is almost no actual wilderness outside of the highest peaks and hottest deserts. People lived on and shaped the land since the glaciers retreated. They were woven into its fabric, and will be again.

Georgia O' Keeffe - Machu Picchu, 1957

For just US$3,500 per night you too can interfere with one of the greatest animal migration corridors in the world while sipping tea and juleps. Seriously, we will be better off after these people have jetted off to Mars.

Canadians, this is important. Canadian companies are required to uphold human rights. ICE does not. A Canadian company cannot do business with ICE and meet that requirement.

In 1970, four dead in Ohio was the beginning of the end of a war. In 2025, who-knows-how-many dead who knows where is mere distraction from the beginning of the end of a nation. The US is at war with itself. Gotta get down to it...

Alison Ingram - Badgers and Full Moon, 2015

Vincent Van Gogh - The Drinkers, 1890

Callahan is unimportant. James and Bergman vote against environmental protections 19 times out of 20, so they can go fuck themselves before they look in the mirror.

Vasco Gargalo - Save the Ocean, 2018

On "useful idiots". Lots and lots of useful idiots.

This is inexcusable. Contact info for GardaWorld is in the comments. You might also want to ask the Canadian government to black list this company.
