IMPORTANT: Study finds electrifying SUVs/pick-ups could actually INCREASE emissions by using up scarce battery material that could otherwise be used to electrify a lot MORE smaller cars (and e-bikes). Via @sciencedirect.bsky.social SUVs are too big. #CarBloat www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Don’t let Trump, MAGA and Elon win in Canada.

Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio said Sunday that he’s concerned that the global monetary system will break down. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/13/b...

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

Allow someone in your life and let them be your companion, you cant watch and share reels for the rest of your life.

Retaliatory pain is justified if calculated accurately. But no room for #TrumpTarrifs formula

“At 3C of global heating, climate damage cannot be insured against, covered by governments, or adapted to. That means no more mortgages or new real estate devt, no long-term investment, no financial stability. The financial sector as we know it ceases to function and capitalism ceases to be viable.”

Insurance sector is the true ‘canary in the capitalist coal mine’ - it knows that 3C heating breaks society and the economy that’s meant to serve it

Reagan's 1988 speech is in sharp contrast to Trump’s stance with the use of tariffs. "Beware of demagogues who are ready to declare trade wars against our friends". www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/rona... youtu.be/v-pjybRvmv8 youtu.be/7zMEH3VMPFY

A key part of the #EU's proposals is to not just equip its forces to face the menace from Russia but also to make sure investments bolster European defence firms. Brussels wants to use the 150bn euro programme to do more joint procurement/buy more European. #Trump www.france24.com/en/live-news...

New York Times, Jan. 26, 1935.

"Public investment" vs "Wasteful Subsidy." The only problem with this clever Singer cartoon is that some people might actually not get that it’s sarcastically illustrating the incorrect perception problem, NOT telling the truth. Just in case it actually needs to be said, the truth is the opposite.

In 1996, Utrecht NL transformed a 6-lane car street thru the heart of the city into a car-free street that easily carries 40k people on bikes a day plus a LOT of public transit riders — far more people now than ever moved on it in cars. And with so much less pollution/emissions, noise & public cost.

Far right-wing forces have long argued that government doesn’t work. They routinely provide irrefutable evidence that government doesn’t work when we foolishly give THEM control over it.

I really wish Americans would stop treating the continued existence of Canada as the sort of thing they can do amusing thought experiments about.

“Trump’s CIA will have a greater focus on the Western Hemisphere, targeting countries not traditionally considered adversaries of the U.S., the aide said. For example, the CIA will use espionage to give Trump extra leverage in his trade negotiations, potentially spying on Mexico’s government”

Trump purging CIA as well as FBI. “Aligned with Trump” appears to mean firing experienced professionals and replacing them with loyalists and lackeys. What are long term consequences for American human intelligence? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

OPINION: The era of Bidenomics is being eclipsed by a new vision rooted in what could be called “national capitalism.” But for some reason this isn’t getting through to Brussels. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/dona...

"Manmohan Singh wasn't invited to Obama inauguration." Abey bhajan bhature, until now no foreign leaders were ever invited to inauguration. Not even 2017 Trump inauguration. Trump has invited Bolsonaro who's not in power, but not Modi. Simple fact. Spin it how you like.

Modi is really going to miss Biden! Biden didn't respect Modi but respected the office of the Indian PM enough to still keep things diplomatically nice with the state dinner and all. Trump doesn't respect Modi AND respects no office in the world. Many humiliations await.

Not every distance is absence not every silence is oblivion.

Next time someone tries arguing that it’s “social engineering” (cue ominous music) to give people CHOICES to walk, bike & take public transit in their city, tell them that designing our current car DEPENDENCY has been the largest and most damaging social engineering experiment in human history.
