The problem I have with the term "climate change mitigation" is that it sounds like some solar panels will stop it. Maybe a heat pump or two. This is broadly how politicians use it. "We gave the yacht club $300k for solar panels! Consider yourself mitigated, climate change!"

Thanks for the post, @thefreeradical.org. #CRBoxes are proven through a significant number of research studies and real world applications. Glad it is doing the job for you! Filming an updated video next week and will post when complete.

This isn't the first time someone's pointed out that AI is an easy-sell because white people (in particular) still want to be able to enslave others. It's a very persuasive argument, especially when you listen to how AI users frame the "benefits" of usage.

Dear friends, if it is smoky where you are please wear an N95. Save your lungs and health.

Trying to watch Cape Fear on Apple TV. What an absolute mess of a show. Feels like it could have made a decent movie , though.

I love a lot of Sam Neil movies. One I think about often is "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" It's a gem. Highly recommend.

we got a lot cooler today thanks to @adamwatts.bsky.social painting this There’s a Monster at the End of This Book skateboard

This is a great book. Even people not interested in dad rock can benefit from its wisdom.

Let's go soccer!!!

Hey #halisky FYI' 103 between exits 5a & 6 heading to Hubbard's there's an accident and traffic is backed up.

This is the greatest game.

Whoa. Cpv!!!!!

CIV is playing soccer.

Loved that canada goal. It was almost as good as the woman dropping her phone doing the wave shown in slow motion.

Come on soccer!!!

What a great nuanced overview! This shows the incredible value of lived experience in policy development.

Howard Bryant is my favourite baseball writer by a mile.

A fundraising campaign to refurbish the derelict Prime Minister's residence is deeply embarrassing. Just pay for it.

This fell off a piece of my office furniture. I don't know what. And now I'm not sure what to even trust anymore.

"The Mi'kmaw Grand Council gathered once again earlier this month at Fort Anne in Annapolis Royal, N.S., standing on the same ground where their predecessors signed the first Peace and Friendship treaty with the British Crown 300 years ago." The province cut funding for this event.

Ahem.

This is one of my all time favourite threads to check out.

i have one more (long) clip that i wanted to wait until after the show dropped to share i cannot fuckin believe they let us do this. #GodDoesReal

This week my wife referred to me as "not yet 6 feet tall." I really appreciate that she gave me room to grow. I am 40.

It’s been five years since Alex Jones lost InfoWars to the Sandy Hook families. As the verdict came down, he asked: “Do these people actually believe they’re getting any money?” He hasn't paid them a penny. Well, The Onion is going pay them anyway. The new InfoWars begins July 2nd at 8 p.m. ET.

Our letter calling on the @who.int to implement better masking policy (essentially, eschew medical masks for the much superior respirator mask) has passed peer review and is now published. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

That was a very excellent season of Taskmaster. Just delightful contestants and my favouritw finale.

I love the opening to Goldeneye. Just a marvelous thesis that this bond will jump off stuff. Got a dam? A cliff? You'd better believe Bond is gonna jump off that.

Best curbside giveaway weekend- Rain soaked used sex cushion. Don't mind if I do!

Canadians want housing, affordable groceries, a robust health care system, quality education, lives free from violence and to enjoy the beautiful nature this country has to offer. We do not want fucking data centres gobbling up our water supply, poisoning our air, and making us dumber.

A relative asked me for some board book recommendations and I don't think they were expecting list list of 30 titles I sent.

Nearly 6 billion people live in the 101 countries that a study identified as confronting a net decline in water supply — signaling enormous challenges for food production and a heightening risk of conflict and instability. (Published July 2025)

It’s June 1 which means it’s time to bust out my best tweet.

The world has some big problems. "Too much art" isn't one of them.

I personally enjoy when someone has a big dumb announcement. Then within 24 hours there's a small follow up of "Oops I was a big idiot. I didn't know people wouldn't like that I was going to take money from the hate machine"

I've eaten a quantity of dates generally referred to as "uh oh."

i read books that were way too old for me as a kid and i turned out weird and a little fucked up, but i also think that's kind of the point.

I would simply choose not to throw the ball into centre field.

If I were on the Blue Jays, I simply wouldn't swing at the eye level 100mph fastball. Because if I tried my arms would probably fall off.

If you live in Canada and like books there's a free thing you can do to give authors money- Go to a library, borrow a book by a Canadian author. That's it! Thanks to a govt program, this gets the author some money and costs you NOTHING!

Took my kid to get a haircut (not a process they enjoy), but it went so quickly and smoothly that I left an "Uncle Pennybags" style tip.

I devoured this book. It was exactly what I've wanted a book about music- playing and experiencing it- to be. Jeff Miller wrote a perfect book about music and subcultures and the people who create them. I immediately started re-reading it. I can't recommend this highly enough.
