This is what I’ve been saying to people who say “I just don’t get how so many people have suddenly decided to support Pauline.” It’s not her policies. It’s not what we hear in the mainstream media. There’s an entire ecosystem funded by Gina/Advance, modelled on mAgA. Direct marketing. Foreign op.

Excellent piece, well worth a read. But yes, triggering!

Hold on. The Murdoch media was running wall to wall stories blaming migrants for rising house 🏡 prices and now they are running wall to wall stories complaining about house 🏡 prices going down due to the ending of negative gearing for existing homes going forward.

LLM technology cannot RELIABLY do most (any?) of what it's marketed for. It is built on stolen data, causes catastrophic CO2 emissions, exploits and traumatises economically vulnerable people, uses precious stores of fresh water. So no, I don't understand the "benefits". Do you?

Google and Meta search both report that Cape Breton Island has its own time zone 12 minutes ahead of mainland Nova Scotia time because they are both drawing that information from a Beaverton article I wrote in 2024

a legal petition in Ecuador is making the case for nature to the "moral author" of the song, Song of the Cedars. the case is about more than just copyright law—it's about how to turn our relationship with nature from extractive to reciprocal @scribblingsam.bsky.social for @atmosmag.bsky.social 🌎🧪

I love this. An experiment that has been running for 100 years, and has so far resulted in...10 drops, one each decade. And you can watch the live stream 😀

The Eastern Shoshone this month voted to classify buffalo as wildlife instead of livestock. The vote indicates a growing interest to both restore buffalo on the landscape and challenge the relationship between animal and product. The latest from @siisiiko.bsky.social. grist.org/indigenous/w...
