Hi Bluesky 👋

Small life update: I’m at the centre of a multimillion dollar lawsuit in Alberta launched by a failed candidate for Jason Kenney’s UCP

It may be the longest and most expensive media trial in Canadian history

I’m ready to go public about it and I want to share more details with you 🧵

Ration flying now
True impact of your flying several times higher than commonly used CO₂ calculators suggest
For example current calculations for first class from Singapore to Zurich on B777 plane, say it emits 5000 kg when in fact its 14,000 kg #climate

Your flight emissions are way higher than carbon calculators suggest
Existing tools that work out the carbon footprint of flights greatly underestimate their warming impact, say the makers of a new calculator

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

Problem is that after a few years, most people normalize extreme climate as normal
They also normalize disappearance of world Bees insects birds wildlife, marine life, forests wetlands and their replacement with a sterile barren lifeless landscape as normal

Gonna be a hater here but my absolute least favorite genre of social media post is “omg I can’t believe I have to speak to other parents at school, isn’t that relatable?!” Actually no, I don’t mind speaking with other people because I am happy to participate in society.

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Me three months ago:
My prediction is that in that scenario, he blames the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which puts out employment data. Calls them corrupt, run by Democrats, out to get him. Fires people there, insists their numbers cannot be trusted, White House puts out its own fictitious data to make Trump look good

The sweet silence of Pierre Poilievre. Enjoy it while you can.

A hiatus from hearing what a hellscape our country is and what wackos Poilievre’s opponents are, is as refreshing as a summer road trip. #Opinion

To more than a few Canadians, he was as irritating as a neighbour’s leaf-blower, or a yapping dog next door, or a crying baby across the aisle in a plane,

🌲Ed Sheeran explains to Louis Theroux that he dislikes private jets and prefers trains because "I like the environment, I like trees." We know that this type of messaging from celebrities is hugely impactful. We need far more of this from more stars.

5 million fish are killed every minute by fishing industry

Super trawlers are devouring the ocean of marine life

These ships can catch, process and store hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish

This is not sustainable

Make it stop

Ban super trawlers now

This needs to be fully fleshed out but I buy into the notion that we speed-run cycles now — between more data, more voices, more emotion I could see 2-3 year downturns become more like 6-9 month panics followed by sharp reversals.
We've never had an actual recession in the social media era (2020 doesn't count)

It's gonna be very weird if/when it happens

ppl freaking out

ppl saying it's fake

ppl who enjoy the calamity of it

ppl taking advantage of others thru fear tactics

will be nuts

Our political systems are in disarray because too many 'low information' voters lack the critical thinking skills to know that Fox News / PostMedia / Rebel News are not credible sources; and that the fascism of 1939 Germany is still wrong today. I'll vote for the most pro-education party. #HigherEd
