LIVE: Israel shoots dead at least 9 Palestinians in Gaza despite ceasefire Israeli soldiers kill at least nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza City and southern Khan Younis

I love that markets are like "WOOOO RATE CUTSSS" as the head of the Fed is saying "The economy is flashing critical signs of distress"

there's a lot of ways this could go wrong. Wish I had more faith that the end-game was improving the chances of survivability for our kids, or our economy. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/b49fedf...

I am utterly unqualified to comment on the substance, but “mature asset” seems like a darkly ironic euphemism for what we are dealing with here.

Need a good news story this Thanksgiving? “In true Hollywood fashion,” says McKibben, “our liberation and our destruction are arriving at precisely the same time, offering us a remarkable choice. Our species, at what feels like a very dark moment, can take a giant leap into the light. Of the sun.”

Top executive from JP Morgan warns that US needs renewables to meet soaring energy demand from tech sector. @bloomberg.com

A record 29% — nearly a third! — of all new cars purchased in California during July, August, and September were zero-emission vehicles. DC may be fine with selling out American innovation to China, but California will keep charging ahead toward cleaner air for our communities.

"Olszynski said he believes this could be rewarding neglect. He said many tools to hold the industry accountable and to fund closures still exist, and the government needs to ensure those mechanisms are properly funded and enforced." The people who created the problem are not going to clean it up.

Waiting for oil and gas majors to lead the "pivot" to clean energy? Don't hold your breath. New @nature.com study shows that fossil fuel companies have only accounted for marginal share of renewable energy generation, decades after promising to lead. 1/ www.exxonknews.org/p/study-oil-...

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The role of PR agencies in delaying climate action is increasingly being recognised by academics. theconversation.com/pr-firms-are...

Total Calgary operating budget for 2026 is $4.6 billion. Sad that two current councillors (Sharp and McLean) and one former councillor (Davison) believe that the city of Calgary is spending $87 billion just on climate change.

The $87 billion climate cost has always been, very clearly so, a long-term cost to the economy and not a direct City of Calgary cost to taxpayers—in fact many stories, and admin have pointed this out. But some candidates keep using this number to campaign on. livewirecalgary.com/2025/10/13/8...

I began writing this story with a naive question in mind: What do we lose when public education is privatized? A lot, actually. By following the MAGA playbook, the UCP’s push against public education not only undermines democracy, it jeopardizes the possibility of a better future for all Albertans.

This week's Talking Biotech Podcast is an interview with Dr. Jonathan Howard about his new book, "Everyone Else is Lying to You". We discuss the rise of the bad science and fake scientists now running the CDC and public health. #COVID19 #Vaccination podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

"There is, however, one big difference between Trump’s trade policy and China’s. Namely, the Chinese appear to know what they’re doing."

This is a great, detailed piece of work. There is really no secret here: OpenAI fully intend to use fossil gas to power their data centres. All the crap about fusion, dyson spheres etc is misdirection. This is what they're *actually* doing: www.desmog.com/2025/10/13/o...

Pollutants from leaking wells cause “cancer, strokes, dementia, heart attacks, heart failures, an increase in birth defects and premature births. . .every day the regulator lets industry dodge its cleanup obligations is another day that Albertans are going to face further harm.” #abpoli #ableg

Multiple airports around the country said they won’t display a video in which DHS Sec. Kristi Noem blames Democrats for the government shutdown and related travel delays.

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Good news for PEI patients and HCW staff. Hopefully PEI health leaders understand that medical masks are not PPE. Respirator masks to keep everyone safe!!!

"Instead of treating sustainability as a box-ticking exercise, we must view it as a product differentiator. If we fail, we risk isolation, dwindling competitiveness and continued over-dependence on a U.S. market that is turning its back on the future."

Lookign forward to reading this book.

Imagine thinking that your argument that you were unfairly passed over for a Nobel Peace Prize could be bolstered by anything a murderous dictator and war criminal like Putin might say. The corruption, narcissism and complete idiocy all fuel each other.

Can I tell you how indispensable @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social has been in its coverage of the Calgary election. Whether you are following it closely or not. Videos of numerous ward and mayoral forums. And there most valuable service, a campaign primer. www.sprawlcalgary.com/calgary-elec...

One also notes that the regime is trying to impose a dictatorship without providing any tangible benefits to anyone. The regime is actively harming their base, giving them only the psychological benefit of seeing their hate objects brutalized. So all they'll have left is violence.

The Thirty set about trying to butcher and exile their way to an oligarchic Athens; in the end they had to be defeated by force of arms and expelled. They probably murdered something like 5% of the population in the process of failing. I am real worried we're headed in the same direction.

sigh. someone in the fed gov't needs to do the math. It's not hard. Addition/subtraction stuff. There is no way we can meet our international obligations or our own national goal of net-zero by 2050 if we keep growing the oil industry, apparently indefinitely www.theenergymix.com/it-depends-c...

1. Before 2020, I never, ever remember getting sick being portrayed as a good thing. "Most people will get one or two respiratory infections every year. In some ways, it's a *good thing* when you are a child or healthy adult". *my emphasis. www.bbc.com/news/article...
