Here's a thread about how I get my news. I'm not sharing it because I think it's "right", but as an example for anyone to think about their own process navigating increasingly consolidated MSM and the fall of Twitter.

can’t remember which article he spoke about this in… either @jkamckenzie.bsky.social @graemenichols.bsky.social or @alexadamssn.bsky.social

『 ary 』 @carteciel.bsky.social · 1d

yeah, he spoke about how getting back on the ice was phase one and ramping up strength to play at game speed was phase two. would be interesting to ask the #Sens about where they think he’s at, esp when they traded for/signed depth at his position specifically.

a lot of people want to read Trump and team's fossil fuel obsession as being about *money* but while there is of course a corruption element, it's primarily pure culture war stuff. even many of the big fossil fuel companies want to get into renewables because it's so obviously the future.

Coal production and employment in Wyoming has steadily been declining, much like the rest of the industry in the US.

Coal is a dead industry.

Coal production was rapidly increasing until 2008 and has more or less steadily decreased since. Employment in coal likewise rapidly increased until 2009, was stable until 2012 and has rapidly decreased since.

This is an obviously triggering and upsetting read on a high school shooting in Ottawa 50 years ago that changed gun control in this country. It's really informative - the things the changed, things they left uncovered, the things they didn't realize were also a problem. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

50 years later, an Ottawa high schooler’s violent unravelling still leaves deep scars | CBC News

Fifty years ago, two Ottawa high schools were rocked by the murders committed by a troubled student who then took his own life. As the anniversary approaches, CBC is looking back at the changes, both ...

It's okay to shit on refs. They aren't accountable, ignore the rules and go on vibes, change the course of the game, are shit at what they do, and are supposed to be the best at this.

For all the talk of emotional maturity, the #Sens have been easy to knock off their game so far this season. When other teams rile them up, they’ve gone out of their way to be undisciplined in return.

can we finally bury the “Canada is too big, people live too far apart” myth and build a Netherlands-level intercity rail system now?

Oh The Urbanity! @ohtheurbanity.bsky.social · 3d

Fun fact: despite the enormous land mass, the population-weighted density of Canada — basically the density experienced by the average person — is the same as Denmark and close to the Netherlands.

Canada and Denmark are 3,000 people per km², while the Netherlands is 3,400/km².

We have truly not yet figured out how to cope with a person or institution that is "aware" of climate change, "accepts the science", but then decides to continue actively worsening it anyway

We don't even have a word or a phrase for this!

Mark Carney’s climate inaction is at odds with his awareness of climate change’s existential threat

Climate action no longer seems to be a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney, despite his previous activism. This is bad news for Canadians and the climate.

Yankees literally did the same thing to the Griffeys as well which is why Griffey JR famously said he'd never sign with the Yankees.

Vladdy admits why he dislikes the Yankees in a 2023 interview: "When a team humiliates you, the Lord grants you the ability to humiliate them

“It was me who was removed from the stadium, I was 7 or 8 years old, so I was like okay... Now when I arrive you're going to feel my presence in the Bronx."

people online are constantly saying shit like "the average person is now post-literate and returning to medieval peasant mindset" while neglecting the corollary, namely that our elite aristos are once again scrying for angels, summoning demons, distilling elixirs of eternal life, etc.

Much better PK there from the #Sens. Sticks in lane, controlled aggression.

That penalty kill was far too passive. I know the Tampa PP is elite but there was zero puck pressure and more importantly all four penalty killers were at the hash marks or deeper

You simply cannot allow the opposition that much free time & space, especially given their skill level

struggling with the aspect of the game that Spence was brought into help with! when the team has said publicly that the pre-season is only one aspect of their evaluation process, I’d love to hear the reasoning as to why he was scratched against a highly-skilled team like Tampa Bay.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers.

Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.
