Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot
It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For ‘doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

It is about time that the Canadian government ends subsidies for foreign owned news organizations in Canada and exclusion from the Canadian Journalism Labour Tax Credit, Canadian Periodical Fund, Digital News Subscription Tax Credit, and the Canada Media Fund.

Keep Canadian media Canadian.

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

A flashback to 1999: the first film I ever worked on at ILM was Galaxy Quest, and VFX supervisor Bill George asked me to come up with new call letters for the Protector spaceship.
What began as "STD" became
"NTE" ... which stands for "Not The Enterprise."

I think if Canada wants to have a strong cultural identity we need to go back to doing what we're best at, making the weirdest fucking TV shows you've ever seen

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

My parents refused to buy me a Super Nintendo because they absolutely hated the repetitive music of the NES. I got the Genesis because they liked the sound track they heard on the Echo the Dolphin demo in Toy R Us
Beyond all the nonsense of this bizarre timeline, and the jokes, here's an observation from an old-timer: the console wars didn't start with Halo. 🤷‍♂️

I was on Team Nintendo a decade earlier, and on the other side was Team Sega. War. War Never Changes.

It's okay, we were 10 years old. 😅
