"moot is in the epstein files" is the completely true sentence that has finally convinced me this is all an extremely stupid simulation and that we're all being used to power a robot overlord's game gear or something

Alberta separatist says members of Smith's caucus have signed referendum petition
The petition, launched earlier this month, calls for a referendum to ask Albertans: Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?

There are Canadian registered G500 and G600s. As far as I know Transport Canada hasn't certified the G700 or G800 because no Canadian has purchased one and applied to register it here.

Instantly recognizable to anyone who walks or cycles around a city, though usually the driver threatens to kill you with their car.
Remember: Alex Pretti was a cyclist.
This is simply the appropriate reaction to a gigantic SUV bring driven recklessly.

We've had this for decades, it's called CANPASS.
The government took it away as an option for commercial passengers in 2018 since everyone was getting Nexus instead. It's still around for private jet passengers.

If we had a halfway decent opposition party in Canada, they’d endorse the words Carney used today, and then hammer him relentlessly on implementation or lack thereof.

It's incredible the number of times in the past year we've thought 'THIS is the moment Trump touches the stove' and basically nothing happens.
We're now at 'directly threatening to end the post-war American hegemony with hostility towards/invasion of allies' and there are yet to be consequences.

Cool cool cool. My read of Star Trek is 'fully automated luxury gay space communism', kind of the polar opposite of whatever this lumpy racist wants.
"We want to make Star Trek real," said Elon Musk.
"We want to make Starfleet Academy real so that it's not always science fiction, but one day the science fiction turns to science fact."

There was much hand-wringing at my alma mater of naming the Geology dept "Earth Sciences" b/c grads would be disadvantaged when it came to mining/petro jobs.
Of course it didn't turn out that way, and the dept has made a name for itself in geohazards - extremely and increasingly relevant!

This thread gets at something I’ve been worrying over for a while now: particularly in terms of how we teach it, geology remains very much focussed on centring rocks as resources, and an unwillingness to grapple with this lies at the heart of our recruitment problem.
I appreciate this from @us.theconversation.com by Jonathan Paul.
However, I think it’s making a mistake I commonly hear geologists make with regards to current events.
I have a hunch that this mistake is one of the reasons geology programs are struggling 🧵🛠️🪨🧪

I know several oil barons, I’ve had the oil and gas industry as clients in a past life: none of them want the Venezuelan oil, it’s dog shit quality and getting the PDVSA fields up to modern standards would take 20 years! It’s just trump being stuck in 1987
At this point the oil barons hardly even care (they can pivot to renewables too). It’s just gender and internal combustion brain
It’s almost like green energy is the only way forward and a handful of oil barons are doing everything in their power to keep that from happening so they can get even richer at the cost of literally everything else in the world.

Right turn on red has created a collective delusion in drivers that they don't need to stop at red lights or stop signs if they're turning right. Prohibiting RTOR at many more intersections is step one, but we're gonna need some enforcement as well
"The City’s own data indicate that conflicts involving right-turning vehicles are among the most common types of pedestrian collisions ... If adopted, these changes would mark one of the most significant intersection-safety reforms in Vancouver in years."
