A well done examination of the two voyager spacecraft that were launched in the late 70's & continue to send data to earth. Given 1970's technology, this accomplishment is nothing short of amazing in how these craft continue to "repair" themselves with NASA's help www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSMs...

Very good profile of Mark Carney, by @stephenmaher.bsky.social. Jives with what the Ottawa bubble says about him and the shoes memo too macleans.ca/politics/mar...

Mark Carney Is a Very Demanding Boss - Macleans.ca

His elbows-up enthusiasm won him the election. Now he’s governing like a Bay Street exec.

This would make an EXCELLENT referendum question before the next election. Let's get it done. One for health care too. Also, how about reversing the "no more renewables" law. The Premier has opened a pandora's box with her referendums. #ableg

Is Keystone XL back? Part of a grand bargain tied to steel/aluminum tariffs as well as intervening in the Smith-Eby dispute? www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Carney raised Keystone XL pipeline revival in meeting with Trump | CBC News

Relief for Canada from U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum may come thanks to renewed interest in a pipeline project first proposed more than 15 years ago.

Bernie speaks truth. IMHO AI use by corporations will cause class conflict to replace other social issues that elections are fought on. We need to TAX the robots & the use of AI to replace workers, and implement a UBI. That will be the political battle of the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dthb...

When your country's Supreme Court, despite ironclad constitutional provisions, decides to re-legalize the torture of gay folks for the way they were born, it's no longer a democracy.

What is next, eugenics?

I occasionally swing by Twitter to see what's happening. Today, I saw was conservatives getting a schadenfreude boner over Trump rambling on about his transphobia in front of Carney (who has a trans child) who had to just take it. He's taking one for the team. Eating insults for all of us #cdnpoli

I see the #CPC is doing it's job by trying to define Carney as a bumbling idiot & financial failure, but I think only super partisan people agree. Trudeau left him a mess

This is a long & steady race w/ the Orange idiot. Sadly, we will likely have to wait until his Tariffs cause THEM pain #cdnpoli

Remember when the battle cry of American conservatives was "State's Rights"? Remember when they were terrified Obama was going to send troops into red States?

The AB teachers rally in Calgary today, at McDougall Centre

I tried to get pics up close but it was way too packed to get a good spot. Biggest rally at McDougall I've ever seen.

#Alberta #abpoli #AlbertaTeachers

A lot of people standing outside of McDougall Centre, a provincial government office and meeting space. They're holding signs and most people are dressed in red.

I wish I could have gone (work commitments) but my wife, and three adult children all went to the "Support our Teachers" rally in downtown Calgary, and by all accounts it was very energetic and well attended. My children all got to sign the Forever Canada petition by @lukaszukab.bsky.social as well

Listen, I'll argue about a lot of things, but the holodeck is stupid and transporters are cool and you'd best not come at me about this

He hates Star Trek NG because of the holodeck. And yet he has no problem with TOS transporter, which makes no scientific sense and was only inserted to save a buck.

I wonder who this dumbass thinks are the ones who taught the engineers how to add two plus two in school? How to write a proper sentence? How to engage in critical thinking and problem solving?

His father is an MP by the way, I wonder if he agrees with this vilification of teachers. #ableg
