We, globally, are using ever-more electricity and renewables are supporting the rise, adding to rather than replacing use of fossil fuels (overall there's barely a decline, and there was an increase in the US and EU) www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Tragic news from Canada where the Canadian Supreme Court has gone from the official dress on the left to the one on the right

According to Gnostic teaching the world is a mixture of the seeds of light and of darkness. Though it is impossible to distinguish between them now in the fullness of time they will separate naturally, as ordained. - Stephan A Hoeller, Gnosticism: New Light on the Ancient Tradition of Inner Knowing

Pope Leo condemns climate change critics - "Some have chosen to deride the increasingly evident signs of climate change, to ridicule those who speak of global warming, and even to blame the poor" Story by @mattmcgrathbbc.bsky.social HT @carbonbrief.org www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

There's an entire Genre of News Articles in this country that follows the "Government won't meet it's climate targets, Report finds". They should just add it as a stand alone Category of news items in Canada.

I enjoyed this "Voynich manuscript" style from yesterday – it reminds me of an earlier "Gnostic" style, just with more of an Art Brut aesthetic due to the weirdness of the original. `A Nordic winter goddess, standing in drifted snow, surrounded by a white snowflake forest` #midjourney

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

My personal remembrance of Jane Goodall is that, as a child and young adult, I always felt a little ashamed about the strength of my love and empathy towards animals, but then she came along and made me feel seen and validated about that.

Official portrait.

The world is too much with us; late and soon, Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers; Little we see in Nature that is ours; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! For this, for everything, we are out of tune; It moves us not.

#antifa History lesson about the last time the fascists were organizing (in the 1970s in the UK) and some tactics that worked to defeat them. (warning to liberals - it wasn't polite 'debate'). www.youtube.com/watch?v=XeHv...

It's almost like me screaming about Diagolon for years had a point!

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

MayMay Art / Cicadaa Art (www.instagram.com/cicadaa_art) very kindly accepted a commission from Caira and I for a fun portrait of Barnaby Jones Boots in her new style. She captured the essence of our sassy, chatty little "chaos rat" perfectly, alongside his favourite toothbrush. 😊

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

A woman in Canada waited 11 years for a gynaecological diagnosis!! Women’s health is under funded and under researched. In Sept, I’ll be hosting a podcast on women’s health and how we got here. I hope you can listen to (MIS)Treated on TVO. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

My fiancée and I commissioned a Sino-style seal using Babayin script for the 60th birthday of my future mother-in-law this year.

My dear friend and I accidentally figured out yesterday that we are 9th cousins once removed through our mothers. We've been friends for something like 15 years, having met over an online video game and remaining close friends ever since. Photo from July 2022 in Montreal. #genealogy #ancestry

This is worth seeing again and again. In a world of suck ups and sycophants, be a Queen Maxima of the Netherlands and never be afraid to mock a fool. #cdnpoli #uspoli #QueenMaxima

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

As someone living in Nepean and who lived here when this riding was still a part of the old Nepean-Carleton riding, I have to say, this is a historic result.

The issue is that unfortunately, many people on the outskirts of Ottawa (such as Pierre's riding) either outright *were* occupiers, actively supported them OR told us "That's what you get for living in crime-ridden downtown." Many people abandoned downtown Ottawa residents, sadly.

I’m hoping that the good people of Ottawa haven’t forgotten that Pierre Poilievre is a supporter of the Freedom Convoy.

Is this “Canada First,” Pierre? #FanjoyVsPoilievre

Oooh a journalist asks why Poilievre only allows four questions per day (with no follow ups, I’d add). She asks in French: are you scared? Poilievre replies “no” and then goes off into a spiel about the Lost Liberal Decade lmao

On criticism from a former Harper spox that blowing a 25 point lead and being 10 points down is “campaign malpractice” Poilievre says “Liberals and lobbyists” want him to stop talking about issues like food prices, housing, crime, opioids and the Lost Liberal Decade “I’m not going to do that.”

Heraldry and Calligraphy - who knew you could combine the two!

Femicide in Lowertown earlier this week. Now we have another in Barrhaven. My heart breaks and my blood boils.

You know things are fucked up when the blue wave emoji accounts and the communist Garfield accounts are exactly as pissed off about the exact same thing for the exact same reason

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

I am inspired by the way Canadians are uniting right now. We still stand strong, together. 🇨🇦

These are up in the UK. They sum it up perfectly.

Trump's entire philosophy in a simple Haiku: Throws punch. Gets punched back. "Waaaah!!! He hit me!!! I'm mad now!" Throws punch. Gets punched back.

How about a thread featuring my favourite Made in Canada fashion? My first hot tip is to shop at Flock on Wellington in Hintonburg. All Canadian designers. And get on their email list to find out about their amazing trunk sales. workshopandflock.com?srsltid=AfmB...

Conservatives: "Liberals don't take the economy seriously!" Liberals elect a new leader who is an economist and married to an economist. Conservatives: "Well, shit..." #cdnpoli

It's almost as if a gibbering degenerate President with zero understanding of markets or respect for the rule of law who is engaged in moronic tariff wars and a wholesale betrayal of our alliances is bad for the market. Strange how that happens.

Says the man who uses the lives of Ukrainian women and children as a bargaining chip, not to mention tormenting immigrants, women, scientists, park rangers, and other innocents at home. #USpoli #cdnpoli

NEW: Canada’s new PM, Mark Carney, has just delivered what sounded like a wartime speech, savaging Trump & the US. "These are dark days brought on by a country we can no longer trust. We are getting over the shock, but let us never forget the lessons. We have to look after ourselves."💥

I have had the great pleasure recently of commissioning another emblazonment of my father's arms, this time from the wonderful @heraldry_by_frax (www.instagram.com/heraldry_by_...)! I am absolutely thrilled with the results for this piece! #Heraldry #CoatOfArms #crest #CanadianHeraldry

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol
