Super cool that we've got a deal for a path towards a pipeline that's tied to a carbon capture project, as if that makes it okay

when carbon capture one of the most expensive and least effective options for addressing climate change, and oil companies often use it to EXTRACT MORE OIL!!!!

The irony is impossible to miss: Carney, the former UN Special Envoy on Climate Action, is now entertaining a pipeline expansion that runs directly counter to the urgent climate leadership he used to champion.

Easy. Musk will just lie harder.
I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.

Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.

Police brutality has failed to create safety for 250+ years, and it will fail this time too.

Cutting jobs and slashing the arts will make life less affordable.
