Solar+storage costs continuing to fall faster than the most aggressive forecasts, as it’s done for a decade. Examples abound of countries putting the equivalent of 1 or 2 nuclear plants online *every year* for a fraction of the cost of nuclear generation. All we need is courage in government.

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today: www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-kellne...

That they poop NFT’s is just 👌

Uh-huh. So you’re creating new incentives for differences of opinion. Because why should politicians be the only ones to exploit that.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Did you know that the term ‘jaywalking’ was invented by marketing companies hired by car manufacturers in the early 1900’s to shame pedestrians when cars started killing them? I didn’t. youtube.com/shorts/N8Xwk... @terryoinfluence.bsky.social #VisionZero

According to the US State department Venezuela is a transit hub for about 10 to 13% of Colombian-produced cocaine that enters the United States. Almost all meth and fentanyl comes from Mexico, with China supplying chemicals. Is Venezuela Flooding the U.S. With Drugs? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/w...

so our government made a big deal about banning speed cameras but one city left theirs running to see what difference the ban would make and you are not going to believe this

i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

Meta halted internal research that purportedly showed (young) people who stopped using Facebook became less depressed and anxious, according to an unredacted legal filing released on Friday. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/m...

Almost a year now since I received this absolutely classic burn from the Canadian government.

would really love it if our elected officials had to publicly define socialism and then explain why they voted against it

Big fan of this sort of reporting - and the medium.

One of my favorite artists is having a show of her art and if you are in NYC anytime between now and April you should go see it

German taxpayers are handing BMW €273m to once again attempt to push hydrogen-powered cars, when battery prices have once again dropped >50% in the past ~18 month and CATL is on its 5th-gen LFP battery. CATL, BYD et al must be laughing all the way to the bank. Sigh. www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/w...

Pipelines that will be obsolete before completed is a waste of taxpayer money The Asian market we're aiming those pipelines for are using less oil every year and converting their industries to electric Solar and wind farms are where the action is

‼️ Why did you, @jay.bsky.team @support.bsky.team suspend the account of one of the most outspoken, independent and important critics of the Trump regime - my friend and colleague @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ? By cutting her off, you also endanger her. Reinstall her account NOW! Please share widely

So much of what happened yesterday is a direct consequence of Lindsey’s courage, both in speaking up initially and then campaigning to ensure the world didn’t forget about what had happened, even as it seemed like it would all be ignored

THIS IS SO GOOD

Erm, what are doing here?

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

Controversial take but is anyone feeling like - just maybe - there is too much baseball at the moment? I’m exhausted.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

The most insane real estate deal in Toronto history has to be Skydome, which cost ~$600m in late ‘80s dollars ($1.2b adjusted) being sold to Rogers for a mere $25m in 2005, roughly 4% of the construction cost. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/d351f97...

If the Rogers Centre had a parking lot that covered the same surface area as the Dodgers' parking lot, it would stretch from Queen Street on one end to the Lake Ontario waterfront on the other

Donald Trump has destroyed the East Wing of the White House the right way. by Ezra Klein

The notion that regular people could be political agents outside of elections isn’t threatening to them, it’s incomprehensible.

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. 1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks. 2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational. Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Y'all knew about most of these last week, but here are some more recent photos from the Chief Planner. Add'l info: Harbord is done from Queens Park to Grace. To Ossington should be done by early November with bike 🚦 Queens Quay - new bike🚦is also imminent Esplanade - so much much more coming

Fuck, man. This is water in a desert. Thank you, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. I’m rooting for you.

Are you listening, Canada? @mark-carney.bsky.social?

As the administration goes all in on an alternate reality about portland that bears no resemblance to fact and rule of law, continuing radical (and just plain funny, ridiculing) acts of the imagination along with other ways of getting out the reality on the ground may help curb their momentum.

This weekend, I went to a talk on what true nonviolence can accomplish— about how using your voice while refusing to stoop to their level come what may has changed the trajectory of nations. It’s for exactly this ⬇️ reason. It makes totally plain who the enemy is no matter the propaganda.

(1/2) It's quite a phenomenon that a 79-year-old man struggling with speech and gait, can tell an audience that prices are down when they're up, that tariffs make other countries pay which they don't, that he has solved wars he hasn't, over and over again, and it gets reported as sane utterances.

Reminds me of a story by @stuartathompson.bsky.social and @cwarzel.bsky.social from back in 2022 about how they were able to purchase cell phone tracking data and follow a number of people who were inside the Capitol on January 6 and track them back to their homes. www.404media.co/email/0ba0f6...

So, here's our vision for the 'New Vancouver Special': Existing owners redevelop their lot, building 6 "family size" flats, and keeping 2 for themselves 4 additional families buy in as co-developers City provides "outright" zoning so the permit can be had in the same timeline as a house

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

The great thing about renewable is how cheap and easy they are to deploy and scale up. You can power cities or individial houses with something like solar. How difficult is it to replace or fix a wind turbine, compared to a fuel burning power plant.
