Some day we'll all regret this & we'll hold hearings & rend garments & pledge "never again" & we'll be just as full of shit as we were last time.

I regret to inform you that, actually sitting down and finally doing the work does in fact reduce stress levels from weeks of procrastination. I'm as disappointed as you are.

Ian McKellen performs “The Strangers’ Case” speech from “Sir Thomas More” on Colbert.

Indeed he is, as I reported on last year for @desmog.com. www.desmog.com/2025/11/05/b...

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

For The Ringer, I wrote about how amazing it was that the brilliant Catherine O'Hara finally became a superstar in her 60s, and how sad it is that she was taken from us just when we had all finally begun to appreciate her:

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti. The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel. What’s more: Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Greenland is one of the most incredible places I’ve had the privilege of visiting. Greenlanders and Greenlanders only have the right to determine its future. We are all obligated to resist colonial imperialism and fascism, however we can, from Greenland to Venezuela to Palestine to the world.

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

i wish mark carney would speak like this when he’s challenged about the latest aggressive action from the US instead of just in big speeches in front of international audiences

mark carney gave a speech at davos about the end of "american hegemony" and disengaging from the "useful fiction" that "no longer works" at davos? .... davos???????????????????????

I'm so tired of working through the apocalypse.

What I love about the X-Files is that, while the main characters are FBI Agents, they are repeatedly shown to be very much against the US government - and in many cases actively vocal about how it is harmful. Scully, as I hit season 4, has a great arc of becoming more disillusioned with the system.

If you're afraid, it's better to journal or to talk to a friend than to post online.

Abysmal statement from Canada on the illegal US action in Venezuela. It doesn’t matter how much you dislike Maduro, that doesn’t justify a violation of international law and the UN Charter. You can’t call on “all parties” to respect international law and not call out US lawlessness.

Bombing Venezuela while coordinating a genocide in Palestine while threatening to attack Iran (again) while destabillizing Somalia while carrying out a heist in the DRC... US imperialism is the greatest threat to peace and security in our world today and it's not even close.

hey remember climate change? didn't it have something to do with... oil? I'm sure it can wait.

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

Rob Reiner: “Silence in the face of authoritarianism is complicity. Speaking out is a patriotic act. Democracy doesn’t defend itself. It requires participation, vigilance, and courage from ordinary people."

I've been slowly reading @naomiaklein.bsky.social's latest essay during coffee breaks. Finished it today, and almost burst into tears. I found it beautiful and hopeful, despite the horrors it touches on and questions. I recommend it. www.equator.org/articles/sur...

There are still people cutting Carney all kinds of slack on the climate front. But I now think I was naïve to believe Carney would support Trudeau-style, regulatory climate policy. www.nationalobserver.com/2025/12/10/o...

PM Mark Carney and premier Danielle Smith may never get a pipeline from Alberta to the Pacific, but they're working to link Canada's energy future to fossil fuel production I spoke with @sethdklein.bsky.social about the climate carnage breachmedia.ca/mark-carneys...

For the hundreds of young activists and their allies who have pressed hard for the idea of a Youth Climate Corps, the YCC’s inclusion in this week’s fed budget should be seen as a win, but not overstated. Here’s our take in today’s @nationalobserver.com: www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/06/o...

One of the reasons I decided to do a PhD was to improve my ability to focus on complex topics for long periods of time. My brain was melting out of my ears from years of COVID and social media, and I desperately wanted to THINK again. So seeing AI everywhere is making me feel crazy.

📢 Hey hey youth climate leaders!! The Enlight Foundation, the Patchwork Collective, and Lever for Change have just launched the Emerging Climate Champions Award, a $25 million global open call for youth-led climate solutions 🌱 Check it out and APPLY 💸: climate.leverforchange.org

Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval was illegal and against international law, and this is what Carney has to say about it? Absolute pandering bullshit. Just embarrassing stuff.

May every single human being on this planet be safe. May every single person be protected from harm. May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

Wildfires are having devastating impacts on communities across Canada. But there’s another layer to the story: emissions from the blazes are also major contributors to climate change.⬇️ 440megatonnes.ca/insight/how-...

Philanthropy can’t claim climate justice while investing in climate destruction. Too many funders are still backing extractive industries with their endowments — even as they claim #ClimateJustice values. Download Part One: bit.ly/4JustReturns #JustReturns #MoveTheMoney

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

The IDF has intercepted and kidnapped the Madleen because they didn't want it to deliver baby formula n other things like that to Palestinians who are experiencing starvation due to the Israeli government refusing to allow aid in. That's the story no matter how you window dress it.

Israeli forces have boarded Madleen - the volunteer-crewed ship trying to break siege to deliver aid to starving people in Gaza - and abducted the crew. If you are a citizen of any country whose citizens are on board (France/Germany/Brazil/Sweden), please watch this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjMd...

Every day that this horror continues, I think of Omar El Akkad's tweet: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it’s too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this."

Grateful to everyone who shared their thoughts with me for this piece about the difference between how people imagined they would show up for a moment like this one, and how we're actually showing up—and how we can begin to close the gap between aspiration and action.

being online doesnt matter. what matters is loving my girlfriend and my dog and my friends and making art
