By the time a proposed taxpayer-funded West Coast pipeline could come online in 2034, global oil demand will likely be in decline. Countries across the world, incl. Asia, are quickly transitioning to low-cost, locally produced clean energy. Who is going to buy this oil? www.cbc.ca/news/science...

PASTOR LORAN LIVINGSTON (@CentralChurchNC): “There has never been a Christian nation, and never will be. You don’t live in one now. A Christian nation wouldn’t have killed and displaced 20 million Native Americans, or thought owning slaves was pleasing to God.”

Listen, if you don’t know the difference between Democratic socialism and communism, I’m not engaging with you. Crack a book.

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

Amen. #BookSky

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

A legend passes on

This is amazing - @kevinolearytv 🤡 is fearmongering about Chinese agents opposing his giant Utah data center… but it’s 2 young local girls in Utah who hilariously call him (and his “dumbass hat”) out👇🏽 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DYU074V...

This is a feel good image for me. These two adorable young Australian superb fairywren staying close to each other.

This is more than enough justification to hold a public inquiry.

Inspired by Bruce Springsteen opening his recent shows with “War” I am spinning this absolute classic from Vancouver’s D.O.A. War on 45 from 1982! Looks like I snagged it used for $4.50 in the 90s.

Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist

Tomorrow kicks off CHSR’s Fundrive! 🎙️🧡 Apologies in advance—I’ll be posting about it a lot. With campus stations and local media being defunded across Canada, community support matters more than ever. If you can donate, share, or hype it up, we'd really appreciate it. #SupportLocal

Yesterday the NB Book Awards announced their shortlists and I was thrilled and honoured to receive two nominations! Thanks to the awards committee, the judges, and my publishers @gaspereaupress.bsky.social and Chapel Street Editions! #CanLit #NBlit #NewBrunswick

Canada has been repeatedly insulted by the US for over a year, so please understand why the country is not jumping to assist in a war anyone with a brain would have indicated was a bad idea

Oh, I wish someone would print this in the US and use it at #NoKings today!!

New acquisition arrived in mail today — a broadside from the legendary Guantlet Press! Printed by Richard and Barbara Outram in 1986. I think I’ll need a wealthy patron soon! #broadside #FinePress

I can't recommend it enough: when you feel like you're too busy to write, put on the timer for 15 minutes and do it anyway. It's the only way I'm making progress in this novel I'm revising. #amwriting #booksky

24 hours? Not this year. 🤷‍♀️  International Women’s Day comes up one hour short this year. Today, PWHL players who wear 24 are wearing 23 — a reminder that when women get less, the answer is to give women’s sports more.

In the AI game I'm now forced to play in the English classroom, it's not about preventing cheating and shortcuts; it's about promoting authenticity and uniqueness Framing it that way with kids is really helpful

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Americans: we live in a fallen state—embroiled by sin, cheating, lying, and evil. You cannot trust anyone, not even those who claim to know you best Canadians: I love my neighbors and my friends!

Congrats to my wife Sherry for her contest win!!

Could not be more proud of you, Team Canada.   You’re coming home with 21 hard-fought Olympic medals. Though what Canadians will remember most is how you wore the Maple Leaf: with pride, with grit, and with determination.

These are the ideas NB is apparently kicking around re: higher education. Unhinged is putting it far too kindly. They literally suggest schools accredit… themselves??? Repurpose infrastructure for private development? “What if we only had two public universities?” This is profoundly unserious.

Dakota Casey interviews @ianletourneau.bsky.social about his new @gaspereaupress.bsky.social poetry collection, "Metadata from a Changing Climate," for the Miramichi Reader:

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

“How can you run when you know?”

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara: "People have had enough. This is the third shooting in less than 3 weeks. The MPD went the entire year last year recovering about 900 guns from the street, arresting hundreds of violent offenders, and we didn't shoot anyone ... this is not sustainable."

New chapbook alert! Emergency Flash Mob Press (me) is happy to release into the world a new chapbook of poetry by Ross Leckie! $10 for local pickup/drop off or add $3 for shipping in Canada. DM for more details!

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
