Here’s my short and sweet (just over a minute) explanation of why we need to get climate ready youtube.com/watch?v=b_5T... #adaptation #resilience #ClimateChange

Err to be clear, I'm talking about the No response

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 16h

What!? How is that anything less than 99%?

Yeah my assumption would be that trivia knowledge peaked in the 80s for kind of the opposite reason - people have even less need for it now that you can get an answer from your pocket or asking Alexa

A fair point

What if the primary point of the 51st state rhetoric is to scare Canadians into not pointing out the increasing differences between Canada and the US as we continue to be a democracy while the US descends deeply into a fascist dictatorship.

Hey climatesky, some colleagues asked for recommended resources on *transformational* #adaptation and while I get the concept I'm not at all familiar with the literature - any suggestions from good foundational papers to practical case studies?

🧡 Sept 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day. We honour Survivors, remember the children who never came home, and confront ongoing colonial violence.

Reflection isn’t enough. Take action tomorrow and every day on our collective journey towards Truth and Reconciliation.

National Truth and Reconciliation Day is on September 30th

But reflection alone is not enough. Here are some ways that we encourage you to consider showing your support and solidarity on Tuesday:

Graham, I definitely think you should try it at least once but in the meantime you're welcome to pop over anytime for storytime with grandpa gamer to live vicariously through being regaled with what it was like to see Star Wars in 1977 at a drive-in.

I see a lot of Canadian news and discussion because of seeking out folks to follow but also a decent amount of European, Australian, and New Zealand posts as well, peaking at times of different times of day...

Did he designate "MeToo" as a terrorist organization also ?

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 17d

Thank you Paul F. Tompkins for totally doing that on purpose to make everyone else who has reskeeted hastily feel better about themselves and also to maintain your relatable street cred now that After Midnight isn't an available venue for it. I see you.

Chilling, horrifying, and really challenging to the ability to maintain faith in humanity

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 25d

Incredible

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 26d

Exactly. Makes me think of this excellent comic by @cardboard-crack.bsky.social

Comic by cardboard-crack.com with stick drawings of a man and woman playing magic the gathering, with 4 panels.

In panel 1 the woman says "Even though the Magic community has made progress in recent years, there are still problems with sexism and stores aren't welcoming to women."

In panel 2 the woman continues "But as players we can make a big difference by letting people know what's not okay and calling out questionable behaviour."

In panel 3 the man throws up his hands with an exasperated look and says "Jeez can't I just have fun playing a game without having to deal with these social issues!?"

In the final panel the woman responds "That's the same thing I'm asking for."

It's also where I saved all of the best sources for debunking various myths (for folks having good faith discussions) everything from safety of GMOs, args for and against nuclear to actual science of gender. All that stuff that's harder than ever to find since search engine quality nosedived

Public service announcement: Pocket.com is closing and you only have until Oct 8 to export your data. Anyone else who has oodles of cool @dndbeyond.com related links and things like that stored there - here's your heads up. Dang really liked being able to categorize and tag links there.

Despicable

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 26d

Time travel doesn't count - basically I'll watch those in the order the characters experienced them. Haven't gotten to a place where different seasons of different series overlap. Not sure yet - probably- unless it seems too complicated.

Trevor Murdock @tqmurdock.bsky.social · 26d

I haven't but it looks very cool.

Tried to find the article that I first found Obi Wan order in and even though I have AI search turned off I can't seem to find it.

I might have saved it to Pocket and thanks to looking I see it's shutting down - I'll check once they email me an export of my links
