I love a good weather streak but I'm happy that this one is coming to an end. Now I can take out the battery from the car, warm it up, and then hope the car will start again! And also for the pipe to my washing machine and bathroom sink to thaw 🙃
Friday was the 19th consecutive days with a low temperature of -40C/F or lower at Dawson, Yukon Territory. The streak could end today. The record longest such streak is "at least" 33 days, Nov 29 to Dec 31, 1917. Data courtesy ECCC. #ytwx #Winter2026 @jkanadisk.bsky.social @explorenorth.bsky.social

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Dawson City in the blue hour at -47⁰C about an hour before today's sunrise at 12:12pm. We woke to no ice fog today and wow, what an absolute gift of a day. #DawsonCity #Yukon

We're on day 13 (or 14?) of temps dipping below -40⁰C and it's...tiring. but if we actually hit -50⁰C then that makes it worth it right?! #DawsonCity #Yukon

Did you feel shaking in Yukon at 1:41 p.m. MST today? That was a M7 #earthquake near the seismically active YK-AK border and 250 km to the west of #Whitehorse.
Shaking was felt across much of Yukon and southeastern AK.

Airstrikes don’t “test” a ceasefire. They break a ceasefire. Language isn’t that hard, media. Neither is professionalism and bravery.

I actually thought I had shared this on here and I hadn't. But if you want to look at why Tehran has to move it's climate change, yes, but it's genuinely fascinating as a failure of long term planning/ not understanding water supplies.
you'd think the forced displacement of 10 million people from one of the oldest centres of civilisation in human history would get a little more news attention than beltway journalists writing essays on how Olivia Nuzzi is a genius because they want to bone her and you'd be wrong
'Iran’s capital must be moved because the country “no longer has a choice,” President Masoud Pezeshkian said on Thursday in remarks carried by state media, warning that severe ecological strain has made Tehran impossible to sustain'

Here’s something that’s really important for everyone to understand.

If we design our cities just for cars, they fail everyone, including drivers.

If we design our cities with many great CHOICES in how to get around, they work better for everyone, including drivers.

Spread the word.

PM Carney takes a jab at PoiLIEvre: “You know, one of the advantages of having your security clearance is you’re better informed about some of the threats [facing Canada], and I highly recommend that anyone either in a position of responsibility—or seeking it—has their security clearance.”

Pierre Poilievre says he wants to “restore merit.” He needed to be handed arguably the safest, most impossible to lose conservative seat in all of Canada after losing his own seat.

Seems like the opposite of merit. #Poilievre

(oh, and he still refuses to complete a check for a security clearance)

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Most Canadian newspapers are owned by Postmedia — a company controlled by U.S. hedge funds.

CBC is one of the few truly Canadian voices left in our media.
Who do you want telling our stories? 🇨🇦

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.
