Decolonize your minds. Sudan is NOT in a civil war. (I know, Instagram - blech. I'm not sure where else to find Nubia the Creator. Follow, if you can.)

EQ ought to play a pivotal role in recruitment of all police or paramilitary bodies.

Good morning Portland. 💙 The coffee shop (Heretic Coffee) said they had raised over $86,000 to help feed people losing food benefits as the government shutdown continues. The coffee shop has been soliciting donations for less than a week to pay for breakfast for people losing SNAP benefits. 🙏🏻

A new study uncovers an unsettling paradox at the heart of artificial intelligence. The more machines learn to win attention, the less they tell the truth. Under competitive pressure, persuasion triumphs over precision, turning alignment from a design goal into a moral dilemma.

Finally read the paper and it's worth the buzz. mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Red alert, @mark-carney.bsky.social. It's getting impossible to know who your friends are if they'll just sell to the highest (or in this case LOWEST) bidder.

“If there was ever a chance of keeping this planet habitable it wouldn't be through renewables, but through tackling the worst type of carbon emission there is: economic growth.The only thing renewables have managed to renew is capitalism itself: triggering growth in every carbon-intensive industry”

This saddens me. Sentencing kids to a lifetime of illness (physical and mental) and lethargy.

The debt crisis is a development & investment crisis. In the Global South, debt repayments crowd out investment in education, healthcare & climate resilience. We call on the World Bank & IMF to acknowledge the impacts of the global debt crisis & take action to drive inclusive & sustainable growth.

Mouth agape, hands frozen on keyboard. Just read it (and weep).

Update on Gander.

A topic of utmost importance.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

5 provinces increased their minimum wages today. So let's celebrate this mainstay tool of labour market regulation with a few fun facts. B.C. retains its crown, holding the highest prov min wage (Nunavut & Yukon higher). Alberta now takes sole possession of last spot. #canlab /2

Last week, Trump declared “Antifa” a domestic terrorist organization. This is why the far-right in the US & Canada see it as an obstacle that has to be cleared in order to carry out their smash-and-grab of the political establishment. 👇 🧵 www.antihate.ca/trump_lying_...

The last three years (so far) account for more than a quarter of all hectares burned by wildfire in Canada over the last 43 fire seasons.

For too long we've been talking about the climate, health & biodiversity crises. And yet nothing happens. In my lecture for Christian Aid next week, I’ll explore how governments can combat these challenges if informed by a new economics of the common good. Mon 6 Oct | Register: buff.ly/1etUU0C

Our Board Chair @doctrott.bsky.social joined @berkshire.bsky.social and @davekaufman.bsky.social on Clearing the Benches to talk extreme wealth inequality and how the tax code is fueling it. patrioticmillionaires.ca/media/taxing...

We are not simply cogs in the wheel. I think GDP is a measure largely used against said cogs to keep wages down while the boardrooms vote themselves massive increases and bonuses, whether THEY produce or not.

A must watch.

Findings from an independent UN investigation conclude that the actions of Israel in Gaza are aligned with the standards set in the 1948 Genocide Convention.

“Just pressing a button and deleting 10 or 12 million records with no idea if those records hold potential links to corrupt or criminal activity seems again to undermine your stated interest in shutting down cartels and transnational criminal organizations.”

NEW: We got access to Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo inbox — more than 18,000 emails. It shows Epstein’s world in his own words: an unfiltered look at how his operation worked, who enabled it, and how Ghislaine Maxwell stayed at the center of it all.

“In the early days, MacMillan Bloedel tried to take us to court for building trails into the valley, and they lost. “That loss and that image going everywhere nationally stoked a sense of pride and fear that we had beautiful places in the country, and fear we were losing them.”
