One can also loathe this as an atheist btw.

Someone lose a contact?

The leadership vote was entirely engineered, tho. Handpicked delegates, could only vote in person, had to pay $1000 for the honour of voting in person, travel to Calgary to vote … His team did everything they could to guarantee he got high approval numbers. It was engineered.

I’m no economist but I don’t think the unemployment rate really works as a good measure anymore. Yes, most people are working but these jobs are precarious, micromanaged, lower-paying, with one person doing the work of three and AI a constant threat. These workers do not feel good about the economy!

The discourse around this bike lane is a very interesting case study of black-and-white thinking, where any nuance is lost to boosterism. Anyone who wanted to have a say should have participated in the engagement process. Now all a respectable Sunnysider can do is celebrate its existence.

Maybe some people are measuring themselves against celebrities snd influencers, but I’m guessing a whole bunch are messuring themselves against their own ability to afford things and save 10 or 20 years ago.

More posts about the so-called vibe-session, positing that the middle class are longinging to keep up with the rich and famous. Meanwhile, I can pay my bills and eat but am terrified of the poverty that awaits me as I age. *Pure vibes.*

Local woman wakes up, gains a majority in oatmeal socialism, makes oatmeal.

“HISTORIC” proclaimed the radio news this morning and come on now, the Liberals had a majority in 2018, take it down a notch 😐

There's nothing wrong with that #AviLewis press conference unless you're willing to hold PM #MarkCarney to the exact same standard which we already know all the cheerleaders cannot and will not. Let's debate real things & not be hypocrites, how about it everybody? #cdnpoli

Saskatchewan to power province with expensive coal power & increase electricity rates #skpoli #cdnpoli #Regina #Saskatoon www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I know he's got a majority now and the cheerleaders are out in full force #cdnpoli

I hope (but have my doubts) folks from the riding #Poilievre parachuted in to will also hold #DamienKurek, the other side of that scummy deal to account when he inevitably comes sniffing around for his seat again. . #BattleRiverCrowfoot #abpoli

Poilievre can whine about deals being made but let's not forget that when he was punted by voters in Carleton, he jumped to Alberta and made a deal with a MP in a safe riding where he ran in a byelection to get back into Parliment. He's since abandoned that riding and won't seek re-election there.

You can argue the fundamentals of the economy are solid until you’re blue in the face but any parent asked to pay $7 for a box of cereal is not going to believe you, nor should they. G. Elliott Morris gets into it 👇🏼

The real story inside the conservative tent this morning isn’t about the three losses. It’s about the historically low performance in all three ridings.

In the 1930s, Oswald Mosley claimed to be a patriot, while his British Union of Fascists was secretly funded by the Italian government. We are just beginning to grasp how much of the far right in the UK today has been funded by Viktor Orbán and Russian oil money. Their "patriotism" is always a con.

And speaking on Orbán funding these far right organizations & the religious zealots, looks like Peter Magyar has told the CPAC crowd and all the other political misinformation groups, the Podcasters & SM enfluencers that the Hungarian money tap has been turned off. 🇭🇺

Tariff wars are not what they seem. Western firms know they will lose the world market. Are playing catchup with Chinese firms. Ford, Tesla, VW etc all licensing superior tech and knowhow of CATL, BYD. Firms are pressuring their respective govts for tech access so that they can learn and compete.

‘Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car’ Everyone in US should read this by Michael Dunne “We are in a global competition with China, and it’s not just E.V.s. And if we lose this we do not have a future at Ford.” - Jim Farley, the CEO of Ford nytimes.com/2025/07/08/o...

My money's on the lettuce.

Doug Ford is cutting hospital beds while adding prison beds. To be fair though you always need more prisons whenever you destroy the education system.

In Alberta's Rockies, one developer is already applying to build an all-season resort under the new process. If fully built, the Fortress Mountain Resort would attract thousands of new visitors to a region struggling with drought. thenarwhal.ca/fortress-mou...

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world. This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

Any push to increase school attendance has to deal with the fact that schools are where sickness spreads - and it doesn't stay there. Forcing sick kids to go anyway will make that even worse. If they're serious, start by cleaning the air. Attendance and learning will improve as kids get healthier.

Is there an app I can use to see if the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed today?

Not all problems are "we regulated cheaper options out of existance" but there are many such cases.

1/ First was investments in health and education i.e human capital Then came China's Industrial policy that was Hamiltonian state finance + Jacksonian trade protection + Fordist assembly lines + Kennedyesque R&D spending US really should have taken out IP on its history www.ft.com/content/7d51...

Warnings about Rep. Eric Swalwell had long circulated privately. Then a handful of women and online creators pushed them into public view, forcing California’s political establishment to reckon with how far he got.

A Category 5 storm just formed more than a month before the Pacific hurricane season even starts. Most Americans didn’t hear about it. Here’s why that matters—and what it tells us about where storms are headed next: www.mesoscalenews.com/p/the-storms...

We’re going to need to shut down Fox and all right wing news and media companies. I just don’t see another way to stop this shit from happening again.

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

The IEA projected that global oil demand will decline by 80,000 barrels per day this year, reversing its earlier forecast of a 640,000 bpd increase.

Trump is driving up utility costs by blocking clean energy projects, all to subsidize fossil fuels. We're not going back. Our Energy Bills Relief Act will: 🌱 Restore clean energy tax credits 🌱 Prevent utility shut-offs 🌱 Incentivize utility companies to lower energy bills

I don't know why this is so hard for some people to grasp. If we extend our use of fossil gas, rather than going all-out for grid batteries, heat pumps and induction hobs, we extend our dependence on *foreign* sources of gas, regardless of whether we also use the UK's last remaining reserves. 🧵

We call ourselves "intelligent," yet the humblest fungus can decompose waste and build soil, a tree can harness solar energy, and a wetland can purify water—all without toxic byproducts. True intelligence is learning from these systems, not bulldozing them.

When I’m really down but not so down I can’t move what really cheers me up is to read vintage Marvel Star Wars or Archie comics. Also I like to watch that movie Conan the Barbarian because a lot of decapitations.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a majority government, winning all three of Monday’s by-elections and full control of the House of Commons. Read more here: www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

Should be part of his next test.

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense. Now for a solar carport mandate! Charge baby charge. ☀️⚡ #Bettrification #EVs

Exactly 💯
