😬😬😬

A 2025 goal was to read 100 books. I got very close (96) and was happy that I read consistently. Though I wish I had read less genre fiction, less contemporary books with buzz (61 were released in 2025 + 2024), and was over my theory hangover (at generous count I managed 4).

Here I was working on a video all about how there’s a lot of similarities between the two and DeSmog goes and breaks this! www.desmog.com/2025/12/08/m...

That's a step increase in employment of 20-30% for building trades employment. Sean Strickland from @cdntrades.bsky.social sums it up perfectly: "Canada’s transition to a cleaner economy represents one of the most significant job creation opportunities in our country’s history." #canlab /4

A report by EDGI “found that under the current Trump administration, the EPA is at or below its lowest historical staffing levels [from the 1980s]. The authors estimated that the entire agency’s staff might be reduced by 25-33% by the end of the fiscal year.” www.wbur.org/news/2025/09...

BREAKING: Today, the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), which manages over $714 billion of Canadians’ retirement savings, quietly abandoned its commitment to net-zero by 2050. This is a shocking failure of responsibility from one of the world’s largest public investors.

This is horrible. I don't even know what to say. Some of our most key polar data. "As a result, the level of services for affected products below will be reduced to Basic—meaning they will remain accessible but may not be actively maintained, updated, or fully supported." nsidc.org/data/user-re...

I attended this last year, and it was 🌟. Given the toxicity + cowardice of FAANG, we need to imagine smaller, lower-tech, less evil tools + systems! Now seeking proposals (due Jan 26!) for wrkshps, performances + art at this year's event, March 13-14, keynoted by the great @loriemerson.net!

Just chatted with a friend about the lack of real membership orgs in our lives and how sad canvassing to mobilize can feel. This article sets up what is at stake: “not just the democracy of elections—the democracy of everyday life, where we routinely and communally participate in power”
