“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

If you haven't yet watched Justin Trudeau address Americans, Trump, and Canadians about the stupidity of launching a trade war against your closest ally and neighbor—and how baseless any of Trump's claims are—you really should watch it: youtu.be/wz_42pckM7w

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

dear academics, in these trying times (powered by AI & totalitarianism), let your intellectual integrity be your north star. fuck respectability politics & “neutrality”. if you can’t actively call out nazism, injustice & general toxicity, what really is the point of your privilege?

No one in DC can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not follow laws passed by Congress. No one internationally can bargain in good faith with Trump because he will not respect agreements made by the United States. Being a counterparty just makes you a target for another shakedown.

yep. and this is the basic problem with trump being psychologically incapable of perceiving a positive sum relationship. everything is a dominance game for him.

This is incredibly troubling. Journalists request information on behalf of the public. Allowing public bodies, like police, to charge in excess of $100/hour to retrieve records would put a lot of FOI requests out of reach.

As I predicted, journalism from me is growing rarer. But I am popping up now and again. Here, for @theguardian.com, I trace the lasting, lovely, and sometimes lacivious legacy of the Microsoft Kinect, in this: the year of its 15th anniversary. www.theguardian.com/games/2025/m...

This turn back toward pipelines shows a lack of political imagination, and Canada should use the moment to boost other industries — like clean electricity or manufacturing with a more certain future in a world turning away from fossil fuels, said @hadrianmk.bsky.social www.cbc.ca/news/science...

I thought maybe “The tech CEOs who want a DOGE for Canada” might be an example of just trying to link Canadian movements to American ones but literally the first line is a tech CEO saying “I want DOGE to exist in Canada” thetyee.ca/News/2025/02...

Donald Trump says Canada has no right to exist. I take the threat seriously. With our sovereignty on the table I support a national discussion on next steps. But CBC thinks it would be fun to have an American DJ co-host whether we should exist as a nation. Fuck that @ianhanomansing.bsky.social

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

It matters that scientists speak out against what is being done to US science. Staying silent is neither "objective" nor "staying out of politics". Silence now is political - it supports the status quo, says "nothing to worry about". We need to sound the alarm. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
