Does anyone in my circles happen to know a cyanobacteria specialist in Canada I could visit with?

[email protected] CEO Ben Waldman set out to build a Canadian social network to counter what he sees as the current platforms' "apathy toward their users." Will he succeed? He lays out his plan on The BetaKit Podcast. Listen now:

It fundamentally shapes you as a person growing up knowing you are in a country that values your wellbeing vs. makes you dog fight for it . It’s not because we’re weak or silly or not “hard enough.” It’s because health is wealth.

Making people afraid to be affiliated with antifascism—making people afraid to be associated with groups and people that actively oppose fascism—is some bleak shit.

Ocean heating is - literally - off the chart. We only get to do this to our planet once - front row seats to the greatest fuck-up in the history of our species; brought to us by decades of corporate greed, political corruption & public apathy, & paid for by the futures of children we claim to love.

I live in rural east central AB where it's not creeping anti-vaccine rhetoric, it's galloping. And actively encouraged by the govt's decision to make the covid vax more expensive/harder to get, and apparently requiring signup even for the flu vaccine. A sad and dangerous disavowal of public health.

For Americans in the back: Canadians are a peaceful cool people who would prefer not to worry about you or boycott you or resist you but MAGA and threats to our country force us to. We will stop giving you our money, our tourism and our respect until you stop this fascist regime.

Without trying to be alarmist, I think there's enough evidence to suggest that the United States government does, in fact, want a civil war. 😕 This is a weird thing to watch from Canada; I can't imagine what it must be like to live it.

A gentle warning from Carl Sagan

A better world is possible, fam. Believe it. Bring it into reality. We all deserve more. We all deserve to feel safe & free. To be fed & housed. To be loved & valued. Wellbeing is our sovereign right. Love each other hard & fiercely. We're one & the truth shall set us free. ✊💖 #StrongerTogether

And exhausting. We make things so hard for ourselves over here. It doesn't have to be an uphill slog all the time, everywhere, for everything.

Wait. So Alberta’s federal income taxes don’t belong to Canada but BC’s coastline belongs to Alberta? What in the When It Suits Us kind of Trumpian thought pretzel is this now?

And I thought in the '90's that things were going to be ok.

A mere 9 months into the regime and Washington is giving its shock troops the SS "Totenkopf" death's head symbol. This as they are dragging children out of apartments in the middle of the night. Canada needs to prepare for what comes next.

It could happen today.

‘For Nigerians, the cost savings from ditching diesel mean that a solar panel pays for itself within six months…with imports of Chinese solar panels growing by two-thirds between June 2024 and June 2025…high fuel prices, a byproduct of the Ukraine war and the loss of a fuel subsidy’

Canada isn’t broken. It’s brittle. If we don’t build, we’ll be bought. If we don’t own, we’ll rent our future. proconsul.ghost.io/canadas-last... Proconsul Clarity Action Proof

For more than a decade, the economists have led the design of Canadian climate policies. It's time for the political scientists to take over -- and the debate over rooftop solar offers a perfect example of why. #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2025/10/02/o...

If the media had any pride left in their job they would quit interviewing these people and hit the streets. Start asking citizens how their finances are handling inflation or farmers or small businesses. Stop allowing liars to control the narrative go out amongst the living

"The big tech companies like to see themselves as invested in spreading knowledge and curiosity. In fact in order to survive they must promote stupidity" A must-read essay. Long and worth every word.

The thing that gets me about all these rich guys burning the world to the ground is they could solve so many real problems and help so many people and still have billions of dollars left over, but they actively choose evil. I don’t get it.

I'm glad that @christianonre.bsky.social increasingly includes nuclear in his analysis, if only to show that adding nuclear is really more expensive than a system running completely (100%) on renewables.
