Figured NDP would jump on this, but without cutting GHG this is pointless, even if it works. 30,000 tonnes removal would take Manitoba atmosphere back by 12 hours/year. 500,000 tonnes woud take atmos. back by 8.5 days/year. They would need to build 42 of them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

every day I wake up and scroll past at least five new posts that some poor kid in the year 2225 is going to have to memorize for the midterm of his "History 301: The Rise of 21st Century Ultra-Fascism" course

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, eggs and bacon at Bob Evans, and then back to the church to shoot the priest in the face with a pepper ball. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

Gwynn Dyer has a pretty great book on this stuff (and other climate engineering tech). He lays out pretty well why CCS is so far off and foolish near-term investment.

"Gass also noted carbon capture facilities require a tremendous amount of energy to operate, something that may prove onerous as demands for electricity increase." Which we will power with a gas fired plant. Make it make sense.

“This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors.”

Time magazine's cover man, ladies and gentlemen.

"The flag was placed so that it would touch me. When it fluttered and touched me, they shouted ‘Don’t touch the flag’ and kicked me in the side. After a while, my hands were tied with cable ties, very tightly. A bunch of guards lined up to take selfies with me while I was sitting like that."

I’m assuming that any other nation with rampant illegal state kidnappings in public would probably already be seeing international sanctions by now.

Story call-out: I'm looking to speak with someone in Manitoba who can describe a specific personal or professional occasion in which they were impacted by misinformation, or lack of media literacy.

Whether it's Democrats standing with the Capitol Police or the Republicans standing on them, both parties have a complicated relationship with the Capitol Police.

All 45 bodies of Palestinians returned by Israel arrived with their hands and legs cuffed, CNN reports. They were transferred to Nasser Hospital tagged with numbers, not names, and have yet to be identified. “Some are blindfolded, and there are signs of gunshot wounds in some cases, while others...

A lot of liberals were fine with the national guard being called on BLM protesters and gassing them in 2020 but never thought it would come back and bite you in the ass

A lot to think about here. Radical moderation: The revolution nobody asked for, but we all need www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

“‘We must replace woke culture with warrior culture,’ says the MP who lost an easily-winnable Carleton riding in April, & needed to be handed a riding so blue that it could be mistaken for Frank Sinatra’s eyes.” Self-centred hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug with far-right conservatives everywhere.

Wtaf...

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

Like what the fuck did you think they were texting? Did you think they endorse violence out loud and are nice in private to one-another? Of course they joke about gas chambers and rape and mass murder. Are you here with us as bombs are being dropped from the sky on two million Palestinians?

I'm so pissed about the outrage re: young GOP messaging each other lols about rape and gas chambers and "watermelon people" & Jewish people. Like they're saying this shit in BILLS. That anyone who aborts a child should be KILLED. THERE ARE MASKED GUNMEN ON OUR STREETS KIDNAPPING.

So the Manitoba government issued a press release today, declaring a big jump in full-time employment between August and September: 11,100 jobs. That looks good … until you look at more than one month of data. 1/x

Republicans' embrace of Hitler raises new questions about Zohran Mamdani's willingness to combat antisemitism.

I just can't. And he's going to be premier forever because Ontarians eat this shit up, apparently.

No, I’m sorry. I can’t do another round of “No, the Nazis weren’t socialists.” You’re just going to have to read a book or Wikipedia article or ask your AI butler to explain it to you or wait for the sun to burn out.

Another interesting thread on COVID variant tracking and chronic infections.

Here's where that becomes useful for me. Once a lineage is driven to extinction, then every time you see that lineage in a patient, you know that it was almost certainly a persistent infection. For instance, XBB* essentially went extinct around June 2024. 4/

However, if XFG truly displaces all of the JN.1s, it means that every single circulating lineage in the world will be derived from a recombination that occurred in a single patient. Isn't that wild? 3/

Healthy indoor air is a proven prescription for public health that can help fortify our buildings and enhance people’s health, protecting against respiratory diseases and illnesses, cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline. resources.wellcertified.com/press-releas...

Thinking about the academic promoters of AI who criticize kneejerk anti-AI sentiment—often by promoting very specific technical use cases— all while ignoring the fact that we are all pretty fucking familiar with actually existing AI and the way it is destroying entire fields of knowledge production.

The ones boasting of peace are the ones responsible for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. The world must hold all those accountable for the horrors witnessed and war crimes committed over the past two years.

* Over 20,000 Palestinians killed since January * 100s starved to death, including kids * Congress bypassed to send more & more bombs to Israel * US citizens murdered in the West Bank I hope this ceasefire holds & I am glad the hostages are free, but this is Trump’s *actual record* so far.

True but I sure as hell am not triumphant about a people not having the right of self-determination. Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, etc will make bazillions. The only reason Israel agreed to this ceasefire is because they know they’ll pave the way for casinos

1700 of the freed Palestinian “prisoners” were held without charge. “Those freed include around 1,700 of the several thousand Palestinians that Israeli troops seized from Gaza during the 2-year war and have held without charge.” #Hostages vs. #Prisoners

An Israeli journalist gloats over the murder of a Palestinian journalist. I can’t find the words to characterize it—‘depraved’ is far too gentle.

Front page of Scottish newspaper The National today.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Protesters rallying against the Trump administration in Portland put the city’s quirky and irreverent reputation on display Sunday by pedaling through the streets wearing absolutely nothing — or close to it — in an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride.

War zone in Portland tonight! 😂
