When a great light goes out, it is not for the rest of us to surrender to the dark. It means that the rest of us still here have to burn all the brighter.

“They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept only one. They promised to take our land, and they took it.” Red Cloud, 1870 Seems appropriate today.

I regularly see people openly Ill & openly suffering at pretty much any month of the year now. I wonder the same thing. Aren't people tired of being sick all the time?

My first academic article was on the dictatorship of Uzbekistan inventing a group called "Akromiya" that did not really exist but which they used to arrest anyone with whom they disagreed under the pretext of "terrorism". Just bringing this up for no reason whatsoever!

People that couldn't resists disease, that couldn't protect their children from climate change are certainly not going to prevent fascism. Milton Mayer – They Thought They Were Free details how easily & quickly reality changes.

Saw this from Environment and Climate Change Canada this morning. Yeesh

This of course is so they can arbitrarily label anyone they want as "Antifa" & prosecute them. This organization doesn't exist in reality. Also, you should expect most western nations to go along with this. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Hmmmm I think I've speed ran the whole LoRa to building your own antennas teck loop in record time. Had my LoRa for less than a week, now have DIY dipoles all over my house. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

So the great thinkers of history spend centuries working out the problems inherent with our species, books are written, lessons are learned civilizations are built. Time passes & everyone becomes obsessed with nonsense because they now live in a better world that doesn't need to

Maybe we can take a break from giving standing ovations to controversial US citizens in Canadian parliament to reflect on this. This is a pretty accepted list of the traits of fascism & fascists, but yeah it's violence to call it out. That's probably #9.

Jesus Christ. A standing ovation — from Liberals too — for Charlie Kirk in the Canadian House of Commons. You can (and should) oppose political violence without doing all this, you know.

👀👀 I’ve been on this file since about 2018. Never read something quite like this before. Give it your time, #Ableg. #cdnpoli too. And props to @drewanderson.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/alberta-oil-...

Not sure who needs to hear this but it's pretty obvious the people that are literally begging people to fight their neighbors & fellow citizens are the real enemies. Extremely well documented in history.

Quite a trend developing in YYC. globalnews.ca/news/1141737...

It's not "extremist" to suggest that governments & other professionals have a responsibility to correctly communicate the mode of transmission & long term complications of a disease. It's not "centrists" to accept disinformation to achieve normalization goals. Get this straight.

#Wildfire smoke is about as deadly as prostate cancer, says Michael Brauer, co-author of a new Nature study. 🔥

The #1 thing that pretty much EVERY climate scientist on earth agrees upon when it comes to CCUS is that IT CAN NOT BE USED AS A JUSTIFICATION TO EXPAND FOSSIL FUEL PRODUCTION ... looking a lot like liberal Canada is going to try to do that. I hope I'm wrong.

Child tells me that her professor announced to the class yesterday that they don't believe in anthropogenic climate change. Theoretically science based class. 🙃

People shouldn't forget that there were actual websites targeting "leftists" for violence. There were CANADIAN politicians targeting CANADIAN journalists over this.

I read someone say "I didn't know Canadian conservatives were so moved by Kirk." The mistake you've made is that there are no Canadian conservatives. This has been clear for some time. They are a group totally controlled by US propaganda & desires.

So Tyler Robinson, Charlie Kirk’s killer, is neither a Democrat, nor transgender, nor an immigrant, but instead a 22-year-old white guy from a Republican family in Utah who loves guns and wore a Donald Trump costume on Halloween. — Did I get that right?

Hmmmm sooooo it turns out the suspect is not left, not trans, not any of the things the bot armies, compromised media outlets & actual president of the USA has been saying. Shocker. Un real times.

How long before professors are fired in Texas and elsewhere for teaching about climate change?

Here's a post that will appeal to 0.01%. 🤣 I've spent a decent portion of my of my free time over the summer making cordage from just about every weed & plant I can get my hands on. There are a surprising number of good options here, but I can confirm that stinging nettle is the absolute best.

Well that explains why public health was pushing handwashing until they declared it a health-virus that we should all embrace. 🙃

A very big thing indeed We literally didn’t have to have a pandemic. Don‘t @ me; that’s what the math says, and I don’t think it’s wrong

Around 354 million people in North America and Europe are likely to have been affected by fine particulate matter pollution from the 2023 Canadian wildfire season, a paper published in Nature suggests. go.nature.com/42iffKC ⚒️ 🧪

Hmmm so I read someone replying to a tweet the other day about the failures of mainstream acknowledgement of the risks of repeat covid infections, modes of transmission, etc by saying the science wasn't clear at that time. We know. There is a solution to that.

Whhhoooaaaaa www.nature.com/articles/s41...

So I'm sure many people have seen this quote, but I wonder how many remember the examples he gave leading up to this quote. He specifically talked about some of the WW2 regimes, Lysenkoism & how fear, lies, propaganda has been used to capture people & nations. Chilling stuff.

The US president trafficked & raped underage girls, the evidence is overwhelming, everyone knows it, and this country's elites & institutions are so broken, so insular, so decadent that we can't even bring ourselves to state it clearly, much less do anything about it. Contemptible & pathetic.

Canada’s climate narrative is built on shifting scales of convenience. Politicians and academics downplay our responsibility by pointing to our small population’s share of global emissions, while ignoring that we’re among the top five fossil fuel producers worldwide.

The practical planetary capacity for storing carbon emissions in rock formations is estimated at 1,460 gigatons, according to a paper in Nature. This upper limit will likely be met by 2200 under current warming mitigation scenarios. go.nature.com/46kU1Oz ⚒️ 🧪

Prochlorococcus — Earth’s smallest and most abundant photosynthetic organism — may see population reductions of up to 51% in tropical oceans by 2100 under moderate and high warming scenarios, according to a study in Nature Microbiology. go.nature.com/3V3mvGn 🌊 🧪

This really is a great article. Clearly lays out the path taken & the systemic failures along the way. I think you'd find many similar things in a lot of anti-science movements. Great read.

Alberta is the land of wealth and opportunity for fossil fuel producers during a climate crisis as long a we all agree to look the other way about environmental damage, pretend that oil prices will remain high for the next 50 years, ignore climate change & fund them with tax $.

Personally I think that if people are wonder why no matter who we vote for we end up supporting things like genocide , accelerating the climate crisis or bolstering diseases a start at understanding

It's pretty wild that China is actually delivering on the self driving cars that were only grifted on in the west.

"the complete disappearance of the lake could place between 6 & 15 million people at risk, triggering a massive wave of environmental migration as agriculture collapses & living conditions become untenable. The economic toll of such a displacement... has been projected to reach trillions of dollars"

Over the last 23 months, Israel has killed 1 child per hour, on average, in Palestine. www.democracynow.org/2025/9/8/hea...

I think the thing that people may not understand about 1984 is that Orwell purposefully simplified it so it would be easier to consume & understand the warning. Real pseudo-democratic authoritarianism looks pretty much exactly like today. He talked about this quite a bit

LATEST: The South Korean government is arranging for hundreds of its nationals to leave the U.S. voluntarily after they were detained in an immigration raid on a Hyundai facility, the South Korean foreign ministry say.

Out on a ride, had a hawk with at least a 5' wingspan cruise beside me for a few minutes close enough that I could make out the texture on its feathers 😍... How's your day going?
