So: the “Protect Bathurst / Dufferin” astroturf campaign run by Summerhill Market had videos of a guy talking about the neighborhood & RapidTO proposal. Real grassroots feel. Took a screenshot & put it into google image search. Guess what?

While the lab leak itself is effectively a conspiracy theory, it's becoming clear that there was a literal conspiracy within the first Trump administration to gin up evidence and pitch it to journalists.

BREAKING NEWS💥: The Supreme Court of Canada has REJECTED Ontario’s appeal — and now the youth-led #Mathur v. Ontario case is headed BACK to court!

This is a game-changer for climate justice in Canada.

No more delays. It’s time for Ontario to face the music.

What greater motivation could anyone need?
It's election day in Canada, and I know some people are pretty apathetic about voting.

But today is a rare opportunity to make Pierre Poilievre—who is, by all reports, a giant asshole on every single level—profoundly unhappy.

How often in life do you get the chance to make a shitweasel bully cry?

Pretty clear admission that the NYT killed a story about the implausibility of the lab leak because editors believed bad-faith Trump Admin sources over actual scientists.

VP lecturing "the Europeans" again:

"...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq."

Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

1/7 Mark Carney isn’t just running to lead Canada — he’s standing on the frontlines of the global fight against fascism. His opponent, Pierre Poilievre, is backed by the same far-right extremists fueling MAGA disinfo in the U.S. and abroad.

Climate inaction is way more expensive than climate action, and it’s not even close.
estimated economic losses from current los angeles wildfires: ~ $50 billion

the most expensive in california history

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost.

This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice.

I knew about the energy for some time, but a bottle of water per email is crazy!
Water: A 100-word email generated by an AI chatbot using GPT-4 requires 519 milliliters of water, a little more than 1 bottle.

“Even in ideal conditions, data centers are often among the heaviest users of water in the towns where they are located, environmental advocates said.”
