And one more: In Canada, the total number of wildfire evacuees is trending up, alongside wildfire burn area. It’s not a perfect correlation, but some obvious connections between these two metrics.

Furthermore, 2025 ranks 2nd for area burnt at this time of year (in this 13 year record). All indications are pointing to this being another bad fire year for Canada.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.
That is a lie.
The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

The six biggest banks in the U.S. have quit the Net Zero Banking Alliance just before Trump's inauguration.
The alliance was formed with the goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Let this serve as another reminder that so-called “corporate social responsibility” is a sham.

For we men who claim to respect women, claim we're not part of the problem, and say we want to be part of the solution, these suggestions I saw online might be helpful. Let's fight against #sexism & #misogyny, in ourselves, and amongst our family, friends & colleagues. Women deserve better.

I had the pleasure of working with Kris on the Willoughbys. Looking forward to seeing what he does with this!
Kris Pearn to direct 'Ghostbusters' animated feature for Sony and Netflix. Sony believes this film could do for Ghostbusters what 'Spider-Verse' did for Spider-man.
