Dawson City in the blue hour at -47⁰C about an hour before today's sunrise at 12:12pm. We woke to no ice fog today and wow, what an absolute gift of a day. #DawsonCity #Yukon

Happy solstice (-45⁰C)

It's coming for us tonight🥶

We're on day 13 (or 14?) of temps dipping below -40⁰C and it's...tiring. but if we actually hit -50⁰C then that makes it worth it right?! #DawsonCity #Yukon

Did you feel shaking in Yukon at 1:41 p.m. MST today? That was a M7 #earthquake near the seismically active YK-AK border and 250 km to the west of #Whitehorse. Shaking was felt across much of Yukon and southeastern AK. Details and report shaking: www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/2025/... ⚒️🧪

Agree or disagree?

Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

I actually thought I had shared this on here and I hadn't. But if you want to look at why Tehran has to move it's climate change, yes, but it's genuinely fascinating as a failure of long term planning/ not understanding water supplies.

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand. If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers. If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers. Spread the word.

PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.” 😂

“Restore merit, end DEI” says man who could only get elected in Canada’s safest Conservative stronghold

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat. Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre (oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

:(

Most Canadian newspapers are owned by Postmedia — a company controlled by U.S. hedge funds. CBC is one of the few truly Canadian voices left in our media. Who do you want telling our stories? 🇨🇦 🔗 r.pebmac.ca/https://www.... #SaveTheCBC #cdnpoli #Media #Canada

Buh bye, academia dot edu

how the fuck can anyone turn a blind eye Israel’s intentions when their Defense Minister just continues to say psychotic shit?!

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

Couldn't really have said it better myself. Wtaf.

You guys see where this is going? Right?

Good. No one should have to work for free and it boggles my mind this even exists.

It's actually pretty staggering how stupid Danielle Smith is.

Notably, 12,000 year old landforms are not offset across the fault, which implies that it may be at a relatively late stage of an interseismic period, having accrued a slip deficit of ~6 m. From this, we estimate that ruptures of at least magnitude 7.5 are possible in the future.

The paper I've been waiting for! Trying to find seismic hazard information for this region has been challenging at best, and I've been unsuccessful in finding something that describes risk. Seems worth it now to continue with earthquake insurance on the house (even if it is 20% of my premium).

The one thing that every Canadian knows - if you are confronted by ICE you don't ever slam on the brakes. You put both hands on the wheel and drive right over ICE. True. North. Strong. Free.

Lightning sparked wildfires in the Northwest Territories: "…including one wildfire – named EV014 – some 40 km north of Inuvik, about as far north on the territorial mainland as such a fire has ever been recorded." #ntwx #Canada #Wildfire2025 cabinradio.ca/245848/news/...

Fun fact: I now have over 5000 unique items in my system! And I'm uploading new stuff to my website right now at LoxytheMaker.com Pick a number from 1-5012 to find out which one you are.

Honestly what is international law anymore?

And here we are a few hours later with some new fires popping up around town.

Alaska-Yukon travelers should know that the Top of the World Highway has just been closed on the Yukon side by a wildfire. Check yukon511.ca for more info.

New fire across river and the view from my front porch. This is fine 🙃

AlaskaSky, this is a call for sources! I'm hoping to talk to people about the role of the AlCan in Alaska's food security. I'm looking to speak to grocers, truckers, and anyone else who might be interested in chatting soon. My email is [email protected]. Please share with relevant folks!

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

They think Apple and Google do the weather forecasting and warnings they get on their phones, don't they? 🙃

Canada has raised concerns over the genocide in Palestine. The Israeli army responded by firing on our diplomatic team. Israel is a terror regime. Canada needs to bring in full sanctions, suspend all trade and ensure investigations into any Canadian who serves in the IDF.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

Hello. My name’s Pierre. Listen, I got voted out of my own riding 20 minutes from where I live for free because I was so busy rage farming I didn’t do anything for my own constituents but if you vote for me here 3300 kilometres away from where I live I will absolutely represent your best interests.

MPs who lose their seat in an election receive 50% of their annual salary in severance pay and I’d love to hear someone in the media ask Pierre if he’s cashing that cheque before he tries to win another seat but now I’m being ridiculous because we all know Pierre will not be taking media questions.

Pierre Poilievre held the same seat for 20 years and then after becoming opposition leader and everyone got to see the real Poilievre he lost that seat and now he’s trying to save himself by running in a riding that’d eat a egg salad sandwich off a hot car dashboard if it had a CPC logo on it.

With CBC now having called all ridings it's time for the land-vs-people-vote animation.

Ice broke on the Yukon River at Dawson, YT at 1056am MDT Wednesday. This is the tenth earliest break-up in 130 years of observations. Four of the ten earliest break-ups have occurred in the past decade. #ytwx #ClimateChange @radtek58.bsky.social @jkanadisk.bsky.social @climatologist49.bsky.social

We have Yukon river breakup at Dawson City! #dawson #yukon

Ouf, Ford slag offs Poilievre, and Jenni Byrne, pretty hard in this Politico interview. Worth reading. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting. But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy. How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?
