Being neurodivergent means you over-explain EVERYTHING in hopes of clear communication, then get anxious that your over-explanation was irritating and actually made things more confusing 🫤

The world’s 20 largest fossil fuel producing countries are on track to produce more than twice the amount of coal, oil and gas in 2030 than would be consistent with the global goal to limit warming to 1.5° Celsius (2.7° Fahrenheit), according to the new Production Gap Report 2025.

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.

This is extremely alarming. Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social won the federal election promising to make us *less* depending on the US. Now we are hearing reports that he is offering up a CLOSER energy and military partnership in exchange for a trade deal... 🧵

I thought we voted for a more environmentally responsible Canada and a movement away from fossil fuels, did I miss something?

As Canada blows way past its international GHG commitments, Carney offers up a massive new pipeline for the tar sands to Trump.
This is the - Let's not fight, we can burn the planet together approach to international relations.

Trump: “One area where we are working very closely is the Golden Dome. We’ll be working together on a Golden Dome for the two countries.”
Mark Carney needs to look at the camera and wink or something... We can't possibly be getting involved in this. www.theglobeandmail.com/world/articl...

Not dissimilar. It was a graphic design job. My daughter got a graphic design diploma 3 years ago and just gave up on finding a job; back to school now to become a teacher.

Today I got replaced by AI on a side gig I’ve had for 18 years. Not super concerned about the lost work because I was thinking about moving on from it anyway, but damn do I hate that this is why it ended. AI is the worst.

"She could have had the lucrative career of performative activism she was being lined up for. But by shunning this path, she shows up so many liberals for the frauds they are. She also puts a spotlight on all the big climate scientists who’ve never once said genocide is bad for the environment."

I have so much respect for Greta Thunberg because she easily could have coasted on speaking gigs and Davos appearances for the rest of her life

The world’s conscience (22 years old) has been imprisoned as a terrorist for bringing food to the starving.

Not a religious statement, but: We are all going to pay a price for our world’s present barbarities.

The Times of Israel reports that Greta Thunberg & her fellow Flotilla crew are being held in a special "terrorist" section of Ketziot prison—or in "terrorist conditions," as Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's Minister of National Security put it.

www.timesofisrael.com/thunberg-sai...
On Friday, the ultranationalist minister suggested that Israel would be better off throwing the flotilla participants in prison for several months
rather than immediately deporting them back to their home countries. Security prisoners - those incarcerated for offenses that intentionally harm national security - are housed separately from criminal prisoners and are not eligible for many of the benefits available to the general prison population. The term is a catch-all term applied to detainees, convicted prisoners and terrorists, and administrative detainees who are held
without charges for extended periods, without trial. "We are in Ketziot prison, and as I promised, those flotilla members,
supporters of terrorism, are here in a security prison," Channel 14 reported
Ben Gir as saying. "They receive conditions for terrorists here, for everything, terrorist sweatpants, terrorist conditions. This means, there is a minimum of the
minimum, that's what I promised and that's how we are fulfilling it."

““They dragged little Greta [Thunberg] by her hair before our eyes, beat her, and forced her to kiss the Israeli flag. They did everything imaginable to her, as a warning to others,” the Turkish activist ErsinÇelik, a participant in the Sumud flotilla, told Anadolu news agency.”+

”The Italian legal team representing the flotilla confirmed those detained were left ’for hours without food or water – until late last night’, with the exception of ’a packet of crisps handed to Greta and shown to the cameras.’ Lawyers also reported instances of verbal and physical abuse.”

Author and filmmaker Justine Bateman on generative AI
"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat.
People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Mark Carney promised to deliver a Youth Climate Corps in the liberal platform. Now it’s at risk of being cut, unless we act.

Baffled by this assumption that it’s not only OK, but that it’s a human need to consume more energy for AI, cryptocurrency, etc.

We had been in an era of lessening energy demand which seems more necessary for the current moment.

Hold off the on the frivolous stuff til we can do it efficiently.

Smith grotesquely calls a new pipeline a "moral imperative." Nonsense. To approve new fossil fuel infrastructure of this scale in the year 2025 – in the wake of three consecutive summers of the worst wildfires on record – is a willful act of arson...
