Quitting beef is the single most underrated climate action Going vegan & eating local are amazing, but they’re complex & hard Quitting beef is simple, hugely cuts your carbon, eases land pressure in key ecosystems AND hurts the worst corporate actors @mongabay.com @shannahl.bsky.social

I will reiterate the point made by @jamellebouie.net : if you really wanted online political influence, you’d be making vertical video. you’d be learning how to do little booty dances while talking about political theory. you’d be mastering doing BTS fan-cams while talking about anti-capitalism

On avait la possibilité de poser un grand geste, aider les gens avant qu'ils ne se retrouvent dans la rue. Mais, l'administration Martinez-Ferrada a préféré affecter les sommes de Québec pour l'acquisition d'une première propriété alors qu'il existe déjà un programme pour ça.

We lost Douglas Adams 25 years ago today. This has made a lot of people very sad and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

Saw someone mention that Dobeš has a white ribbon on his helmet that represents ending violence against women by men, has anyone asked him about that? If that’s true, love him even more.

I keep worrying that these people think they are selling shovels in a gold rush and they're actually selling handles in a shovel rush

Absolutely not. There are many reasons for this including: - repossession of collateral - amortization schedules - relative size of borrowing - risks and accounting of them for holders of loans Losses? Sure. Replicating the cause of the GFC? Lol no not happening.

It’s funny (sad) how little everyone knows about the world and yet also votes based on that limited knowledge.

Revenge of the humanities. There are going to be less and less of us as uni humanities programs are shuttered in favour of seemingly more profitable STEM degrees. However, the principles of supply and demand dictate that we will be worth more.

A senior archaeo mate sent this to me, dont know the source/artist to credit, but it's strangley accurate...

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it TRANSFORM the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better. The car traffic got BETTER.

Car-brained burb-dwelling Ensemble Montreal destroying everything good about the city in a single year is quite an achievement.

Ensemble Montréal continue son œuvre d'annulation de projets voués à la qualité de vie de la population. C'est à se demander si ce parti ne se définit pas par une opposition primaire à l'administration précédente. Pour l'ambition et la vision d'avenir, il faudra repasser

Generational tweet that might even spawn a school of architecture.

We need raised crosswalks everywhere. A level crossing prioritizes human movement and accessibility, while the physical rise acts as forced friction, demanding speed compliance from motorists. We must stop relying on signs and start relying on physical design.

It’s a settled point that housing and a bit of basic income is cheaper than punishment but the US thinks it’s being soft on crime to help people, and there are people who make money on prisons and punishment

As a result of the illegal war on Iran, Canada’s oil giants are raking in billions they didn’t earn and don’t deserve. It’s time to stop war profiteering and return money back to Canadian families and communities. Take action: 350.org/canada/theyp...

CATL has launched its third-gen Shenxing LFP battery, featuring charging speeds: 10%-35% SOC in 1 minute, 10%-80% in 3 minutes and 44 seconds, 10%-98% in 6 minutes and 27 seconds, and 10%-98% in 9 minutes at -30 degrees Celsius.

You can never really trust Canada's 'Big 5' banks. "Royal Bank of Canada and Scotiabank both announced on April 16 they are abandoning their interim climate targets. Scotiabank is going a step further by entirely ditching its net-zero by 2050 target. Both blamed changes in government policy."

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

A HUGE, narrative-breaking moment for the UK car market New EVs are now cheaper than petrol cars on average, says Autotrader Last yr CCC said price parity was due by 2028 – and it's already here And EVs are already MUCH cheaper to run than petrol

Yeah, and he put years of effort into it too, whereas Vance just shows up once and POW!!!

The problem nowadays is that CEOs don't want to work. They just want money for laying people off and blathering about AI, not for producing any positive or concrete improvement to the business. They expect hundreds of millions for thousands of job loses and it's weak sauce, snowflake behaviour.

Was without the car (EV) for a bit due to a cell failure (covered under warranty) and parts not being immediately available. Rental was an ICE car. Was like going from writing on fine paper with a buttery smooth fountain pen to scratching my initials into a tree with a blunt penknife.

Was cutting the gas tax the price paid to get Carney a majority? (Cons crossing the floor) Don’t love it, unless he’s replacing it with a tax based on vehicle size and weight.

Oasis?!? Inducted for services in the destruction of indie music and the Manchester scene I suppose. post-punk.com/joy-division...

As we have long suspected, CEOs and business “leaders” are easily replaceable.

>Canadian company builds solar panels in Malawi >is paid in Malawi's (volatile) currency >invests those payments in local farmers growing chili peppers >sells chili peppers to Nando's, in USD >builds sustainable business model on Cheeky Nando's This is my favourite news story of the year so far.

The use of four GoPros on the Artemis II ensures a statistical likelihood that we will see at least one cyclist being hit.

A level 2 charger costs $500 to install, the charging infra canard is just “doesn’t know ball” at this point.

Too many men is objectively the best penalty in any sport and should be applied to almost all areas of life.

Good report from Teneo. The U.S.-Iran war is not just an oil shock. Southeast Asian corporates have been moving slowly towards clean energy, now they realize that energy strategy = corporate strategy. www.teneo.com/app/uploads/...

Interesting to note. 800 lords! Why would you need so many? Also, funny that the article’s subject is portrayed as progressive as he wants to change rules of primogeniture to allow women (firstborn) to inherit castles/titles etc, not questioning why the world needs any of that nonsense.

F*cking brilliant.

"it is not possible for two sides to both win a war. But it is absolutely possible for both sides to lose; mutual ruin is an option.

So, about those Eid prayers in London... "What's the highest thing in Trafalgar Square?" "Nelson's column, innit?" "And the highest thing on the column?" "Nelson." "And on Nelson?" "His hat." "And the highest thing on his hat?" "That bit that sticks up." 1/8

Love the fact that Finland has income-based speeding tickets. The richest man in Åland was just fined €120,000 for going 58 km/h in a 30 km/h zone.

Top notch minds in DC these days. 1. Ensure US auto industry stops investing in EV R&D and manufacturing. 2. Try to force a return to US combustion dependence, limiting global total available market. 3. Start war that raises price of fossil fuels and incentivizes shift to non-US EVs. Genius.
