The Trump rollercoaster is a tactic. We can do it too. "Fight randomness with randomness. Roll a die each day to see if this is the day we announce we’re turning off oil. Be nice one day, a lunatic the next. Keep Trump off balance, that’s what Trump does to us. It’s exhausting. Make him exhausted."

How fucking stupid and or depraved do you have to be to write this?

Nation being threatened with annexation reminded to be polite to would-be conqueror's special song (Patreon Exclusive)

SCOOP: Danielle Smith's government fired the head of Alberta Health Services two days before she was to meet with the Auditor-General to discuss her internal investigation into procurement contracts and deals for private surgical facilities. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/alber... #abpoli #ableg

A story: During GW Bush admin, I had to pitch a collaborative project to NOAA’s internal climate board. Right before presenting, I was advised not to mention the words “climate change”. The project and the presentation were titled “Climate Change and Coral Reefs”. I ignored the advice...

as long as the most powerful man on earth who is following through on other promises continues to say “yes i would like to annex canada” on a monthly basis i’m gonna operate under the framework that his country is hostile to me and act accordingly anyways bali is nice

Even if tariffs don't end up being implemented, and this all goes away and even American presidents come and go, we still need to do more to set up Canada so we can operate well and in line with our values, regardless of the whims of the American voter.

For all the non-central valley folks, here’s some geographic context to highlight the absurdity of Trump’s Flows to Nowhere. Highlighted Kaweah and Tule rivers illustrate just how far removed they are from LA, w/ no connection to CA aqueduct that lifts water 1900’ over Tehachapi mtns.

Happy 5th "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" anniversary! #Geology ⚒️

With coal mining back in the news in Alberta, it’s probably worth re-upping this 2021 cost-benefit analysis with colleagues that found “coal mining in the Eastern Slopes of the Rocky Mountains was not in the public interest”. www.policyschool.ca/wp-content/u...

As best you can, ignore him.

found on r/me_irlgbt, seemed relevant. stay strong. i love you all.

When everyone was looking at the USA, Alberta quietly scrapped a series of ministerial orders that banned coal development in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains: www.theglobeandmail.com/business/art... #cndpoli #abpoli

Wrote about my time in China and Taiwan, and the weird mix of feelings of getting to appreciate a place that is so big and important and beautiful and interesting while also being aware of all the other important stuff open.substack.com/pub/justinmc...

So I was born and raised in Canada. And I cannot begin to explain the level of distain for the United States that is built in to Canadian culture. It’s classic schismogenesis. This is pissing in the wind, the only conceivable way Canada would join the United States via military conquest.

Global surface temperatures set a new record in 2024, exceeding 1.5C above preindustrial levels in the majority of datasets. It was more than 0.1C warmer than the prior record set in 2023, and more than 0.25C warmer than any year prior to that: www.carbonbrief.org/...

What a paternalistic tone this article takes. Ouf.

"The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden"

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Another reason why protecting and properly managing our headwaters is important!

Here’s the @science.org article so that @altmetric.com picks it up :) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
