Grok is producing ~6,700 sexually suggestive or nudified images per hour • Twitter (X) is now the top deepfaking site in the world • Women who speak out become targets by users (via business)

More territorial acknowledgments that: Call for the remaking of the world, without requiring Indigenous Peoples to give up our Indigeneity or sovereignty, with the goal of creating a “global community thoroughly structured by non-domination.” (Táíwò, 102) apihtawikosisan.com/2026/01/terr...

Everyone should be submitting this to Apple and Google.

Where the hell are Google and Apple enforcing their app store terms of service on X? Grok doing CSAM should instantly be a removal from the app store. Any other app doing this would be pulled instantly. Journalists should be asking for comment from these companies.

This is sick. At this point, no one with a sound moral compass should be on that platform. No one.

Grise Fjord anomaly was nearly 35C above average about the highest positive anomaly ever recorded anywhere in the Americas

“Grok is generating at least one non-consensual sexual image every minute”

Carney isn't just failing Canada, he's failing the world. If we don't stand for democracy and a rules-based international order, why would any other country come to Canada's defence when we need it?

Uh, Canada, you might want to say something definitive about respecting sovereignty of Arctic states sooner rather than later.

I don’t like to throw around the term rape culture often for a variety of reasons, but this? THIS is rape culture. It exists to intimidate women into minimizing their public prominence, which serves to strengthen male dominance in culture, society, and politics.

I get that, for Canada, U.S. belligerence is incentive to try to further diversify oil exports to overseas markets. But at some point we may need to take into account that the geopolitical situation is also incentive for most countries to try to accelerate their shift away from oil reliance.

The story actually undersells Canada’s vulnerability to the US abandonment of science and regulation, on which Canada depends. In other news, the Carney government is cutting Health Canada’s budget by 15%. Make that make sense. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

To help illustrate the insane gradient in North America Monday I added a couple of numbers. 76 in Denver wasn’t even the national high. That was 90 in Hidalgo TX. Braeburn was indeed the NA low. (These are actual temps, not feels like)

The linear extrapolation of the past 15 years and the nonlinear 30-year extrapolation now both put global warming at +1.54°C above 1850-1900. Reaching +2°C in 2037 or 2034. Using the @ecmwf.int ERA5 dataset. H/t @tugberksamur.bsky.social

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade

First and foremost, fund the excellent researchers who are already here, punching well above their weight despite low and stagnant support. www.science.org/content/arti...

Trump's evisceration of US regulatory agencies will hit Canadians hard. Carney's cuts to state capacity are the exact opposite of what he should be doing to strengthen Canada. We need more -- much more -- regulatory capacity, not less.

UN resolution to establish an international day against colonialism in all its forms. Voted against: USA, Israel Abstained: Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, basically all of Europe, Japan, etc.

Given that the only thing that has ever led to climate progress was the global wave of alarm that rose in the wake of *The Uninhabitable Earth* and the IPCC Special Report of 1.5 C, I think it is irresponsible and counterproductive to downplay how much danger we’re in. 5/n

Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.

POV: Big Oil explains the weather they caused.

THE HEAT CHAMPIONS In these countries there have been individual stations with yearly average temperature >30C: Senegal, Mauritania, Gambia,Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso,Algeria,Togo, Sudan, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Djibouti, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, UAE, Qatar, India, Thailand, Honduras

our government should be speaking out about this but they don’t want to piss of donald trump

I wish the "He's just playing 4D chess" folks understood that, even if that were the case (it isn't), it means he's being dishonest with almost everyone he deals with.

People who care about climate change are “dreaming nostalgically about the past.” - Minister Hodgson Gotcha. That explains a lot.

I'm not interested in "I told you so." A lot of people voted Liberal because they were terrified of Poilievre and his gang. I get that. But Carney's who we got, he's being a weak leader, pushing policies that are harming the vast majority of us and it's time to just admit he sucks and push back.

This crazy record in Russia is also the highest temperature ever recorded in Europe this time of the year above 1000m asl This insane event,the most extreme in world climatic history, started 3 weeks ago in Morocco/Spain and spread East with thousands of records in all Mediterranean,except Italy

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! On November 22nd, the planet hit 1.81°C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline, making it the warmest November 22nd on record, and likely the warmest November 22nd in the last 120,000 years. Hot times ahead.

The final agreement from COP30 doesn't mention fossil fuels, argues we are only 80% of the way to 1.5C, sets out an insane timeline of GHG reductions, and mentions 'a rapidly narrowing window.' The COP is dead and burried. And COP30 was the final nail. unfccc.int/sites/defaul...

“But it’s precisely because U.S. policy is so unpredictable that predicating Canadian behaviour on the hope of avoiding erratic U.S. reactions is likely futile. … The best way to ensure that Canadians aren’t next isn’t to remain silent … it’s to insist that law applies to every country’s conduct…”

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement. It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it. www.wisn.com/article/meta...

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative. The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Meanwhile, in the real world... That global heating isn't considered a national-security and economic emergency is the most significant political failure of our time. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Really excited about The North State this week. Now that the dust has settled on Budget 2025, I felt now was the time to really dive into it. I had three great journalists on a panel, @karynpugliese.bsky.social, @arshy.bsky.social and @ianagp.bsky.social, to discuss the budget and coverage. #cdnpoli

The Canadien Government has made an ad about the proposed Ksi Lisims LNG terminal & PRGT Pipeline, and it's surprsingly honest and informative.

"Simply repeating “productivity”/”nation-building” isn’t enough. There are many ways to improve productivity and to build a nation. Why these choices and not others? Canadians are owed explanations and a debate over alternatives. Esp when youth and the most vulnerable are being asked to “sacrifice.”

Hi Bluesky 👋 Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

The axis of Liberal/Conservative/Authoritarian/Billionaire politicians just abandoning the climate crisis really spells disaster for life on this planet. It is shocking how countries have just given up on trying to stop global warming.

Should we be talking more about the incongruity of the $27B income tax cut that Carney implemented upon taking office with the economic and fiscal theme of his first budget?

EXTRAORDINARY HEAT IN MEXICO Insane 43.0C/110F Vinoramas Record heat also in TEXAS 89F/31.7C Amarillo Record heat continue in all Caribbean as well: 32.2C/90F St Thomas, US Virign Islands. >180 countries are breaking heat records, in 4 days more than ANY FULL MONTH in history

The current level of anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere is insane, we are past the 2023/2024 anomalies and the +1C vs 1991/2020 Note specially the anomalies from 30N to 80N: It's brutal and there is not a bit of hype here. It is what it is: insane Maps kudos:Tropicaltibit & Ryan Maue

Imagine if Canada was investing in research and universities, instead of burning everything down.

Get offline for a day. Create something. I'm serious. You cannot endure our current reality in ANY timeline if you are constantly scraping your raw nerves across the jagged edges of the evil that people do. You need tangible, embodied reminders that we endure through hope and love, not despair.

You probably won't hear about it on the news, but the climate scientists just straight up called for political revolution 🚨 "The 2025 state of the climate report: a planet on the brink" academic.oup.com/bioscience/a...

Here's a water-cooler fun fact: The 3-year running mean for the Global surface temperature anomaly above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial baseline is now at 1.495°C. Given the current global temperature forecast, the 3-year mean should cross 1.50°C within the next 30 days.

HISTORIC HEAT IN GREECE After Portugal,Spain,Morocco,Algeria,Tunisia and Libya, the heat reached Greece. Minimums up to 24C and maxes up to 34C (Chania). It's like August and next night will be insane with 25/30C all night in some stations of Crete and Rhodes.

In our short existence, The Corsi-Rosenthal Foundation has issued 58 grants providing healthier indoor air to 30,000 ppl. The Foundation aims to substantially increase these benefits to under-resourced schools over the next several months. Please consider helping us: givebutter.com/buildabox2025

Arguing that abandoning all talks risks the Canadian economy misses the point: the continental economy is *already gone*. And we're going to pay for it one way or another. Certainty can come only at the cost of subservience. And actual resistance and resilience can't be had w/ tax cuts & austerity.
