Hey Canadian media. Pierre Poilievre is not a ‘firebrand’. He’s a fringe politician who embraces extreme politics, has associated with extremist groups/individuals, has a 20+ years record of offensive & bigoted remarks. Do not normalize this threat to Canada’s democracy. #NeverPoilievre #MapleMAGA

Ottawa Police abdicated their responsibility to protect Ottawans from the drunken convoy mob, but are giddy about endorsing the most prominent enabler of the illegal occupation. Police have unique power and authority in society, and their unions should NOT be making political endorsements. #cdnpoli

Anyone else feeling an existential dread today? On top of Doug Ford getting another majority in Ontario I just saw clips from that sh$tsh0w in the Oval Office today. Are we all doomed?

Happy Flag Day, my proud fellow Canadians! The Maple Leaf Forever!

Some pithy truth-telling from @climateofgavin.bsky.social here: "You shouldn’t ask scientists how to galvanize the world because clearly we don’t have a fucking clue. People haven’t got a magic set of words to keep us to 1.5C, but we have got to keep trying." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Hey #BlueSky world! Let’s make that dumpster fire site irrelevant!

🆕Pioneering #PlanetaryBoundaries science: As a vital framework for addressing the #climatecrisis and ensuring humanity’s future, the full story of Planetary Boundaries - co-founded by PIK Director Johan Rockström - is now being told from the beginning⬇️ www.pik-potsdam.de/en/news/late...

I'm a climate scientist living in Texas who served as a lead author on the National Climate Assessment under the previous Trump administration. I witnessed first-hand its chilling impact on access to data, funding & publication of research, implementation of solutions, and scientists themselves. 🧵

Trump did not cause the climate crisis - it was already locked in. But he will massively accelerate it. On #politicslive yesterday.

One of the most spectacular things happening on earth right now, widely unnoticed by the broad public, is the ocean temperatures going wild since 2023. This has massive effects on the global hydrological cycle due to the excess evaporation. // hydrology ⚒️ //

Once again seeing Covid-19, Flu and other viral cases in huge numbers in the ER. Hardest hit are kids <2 and adults >65. Some advice for this season in this thread:

Now That We’ve Convinced Everyone It’s Fine To Catch It, It’s Time To Admit That Covid Was Airborne All Along.

Today, I am pleased to announce I have a story in Rolling Stone! The piece is also cross-published with Important Context. SCOOP: America's largest charitable funds have been funneling money to anti-vaccine groups throughout the pandemic while claiming the donations do not represent their values.

Ok, I am here! Hoping to find enlightened and informative folks here and pals from the other place.
