Annual reminder that, if you live in Toronto, this is the week of the earliest sunset: 4:40pm. On December 14, sun sets at 4:41pm. By January 10, sun sets at 5:00pm. Things are getting brighter, we just can't feel it yet. Keep going.

At COP30 Canada just got awarded the fossil of the day — first time since 2014 (the harper years). Clear sign of how Carney’s pro fossil fuel agenda and backsliding on climate policy is being noticed internationally.

Banksy should mass-produce this stencil and drop 100s of them in every city in the UK. In a week, you shouldn't be able to walk down a street without seeing this piece of art. What a statement that would be.

i wonder if there was a menswear writer in 1914 who, shortly after writing an article on how to wear pants, went outside and saw a newspaper headline read "Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Assassinated" and he thought "hm, prob not good"

Rapid cuts in methane emissions from the energy sector are critical to limiting near-term warming and keeping the 1.5°C goal within reach. But the

’s 2025 Global Methane Tracker shows that global emissions remain high, and are ~80% higher than what govs report.

There’s a measles outbreak in the Canadian province of Ontario that’s twice the size of the one in Texas. Over 1000 people are sick. Why isn’t this getting more media attention? People need to be informed of the risk & how to protect themselves. Vaccinate, wear a respirator, isolate when sick.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.
