Remember as your eyes burn from the smoke today, Ken Sim and ABC voted to allow fracked gas in new builds, cancelled $8 million in climate retrofit grants; voted against funding for cooling kits for people in the Downtown Eastside; and got rid of the climate justice charter.

All the headlines should read like this one. It’s a coordinated campaign that most of them don’t.

"One common tactic for operators in Texas, according to Floodlight, is to announce a small data center development that would come in under pollution thresholds, only to suddenly expand once established."

Greenpeace International 🌍@greenpeace.org · yesterday

The environmental cost being churned out by AI data centers is getting absurd. It spells out a worldview where tech capital and extreme power moves matter more than people, nature, and democracy. It’s a system operating completely without a moral compass.

USA: Medicare is dropping two COVID-19 tracking rules for long-term care and 11 specialty cancer hospitals. The agency will stop collecting data on how many staff members are vaccinated, as well as tracking if patients and residents are up to date on their shots.

CMS finalized removal of staff COVID vaccination reporting for 11 cancer hospitals and long-term care hospitals, beginning with the FY 2028 program year.

I think the Bluesky bubble effect is because no right wing movement can organically gain traction in such a hostile environment thanks to minorities and the gays making it successful in the first place and deciding not to tolerate it going forward

The prime minister says First Nations involvement in major projects development is essential, however First Nations have had little say in the decision making. To speak on the matter is Ken Coates, a University of Saskatchewan professor emeritus.

Renationalize CN, impose safety standards and give priority to passenger trains.

Luke LeBrun@lukelebrun.ca · 3w ago

According to Teamsters Canada, the CN Rail workers trapped in that train engulfed in flames ended up having to flee through the burning forest on foot: “They ran for a mile or two ... It’s crazy that they have to go through that. But the train should not have been there in the first place”

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

That this rule is being asserted through the *Education* Department just shows how Orwellian the US is.

"You're a World War II historian! Why aren't you glad we have new Nazis to talk about?"

"Why can't you just appreciate how revolutionary the job-taking, environment-degrading, information-shredding, technology-hoarding, economy-swamping machine is?" My brother in Christ, there may indeed be a revolution in part because of "AI," but it might not be the one you wanted.

So I'm in a pretty bad situation. I have a week to get out of where I live. No car, temporarily laid off, have to be gone in a week. If you could spare any help at all I'd really appreciate it. It's pretty bad. CashApp: $KennethClyburn Kofi: ko-fi.com/kcclyburn #MutualAid #MABoost

When people die and the media says they had “pre-existing conditions”… they’re pacifying the public. Anyone could die from Cyclosporiasis, but they want you to believe it can’t happen to you. It can only happen to the weak, the disabled, the elderly. The expendable people. Eugenics.

Two Deaths Linked to Cyclospora Outbreak in Michigan

The patients had “significant underlying health conditions” that may have contributed to their deaths, health officials said.

As soon as a publication moves away from their leftist credentials I can no longer trust them on anything. Next up: @thetyee.ca This is why social media has been so important. Regular people talking about their actual lives. What they want & need for well-being & to live fulfilling lives.

Vancouver Pride refuses to reject carceral institutions, reject or disclose zionist/genocide-complicit funders, disclose zionist groups that participate in Pride events, participate in BDS, and ensure there is no pro-genocide/israel propaganda at Pride events. They're not an ethical org.

If you want a perfect capsule to demonstrate how completely divorced from reality the broligarchs and their toadies are, look only to the fact that someone thought a winning strategy is to bring a disgraced one-term NYC mayor to Wisconsin to sell angry residents a data center lol

Jessy Edwards@jessyedwards.bsky.social · 2d ago

A video taken Saturday shows former NYC Mayor Eric Adams in sales pitch mode in Wisconsin Rapids, as he's heckled by residents opposed to the data center he's trying to sell them on. "My name is Eric Adams," he begins, as the boos begin to rain down. "You belong in prison!" one attendee shouts.

Very early in the pandemic, I spent 2 terrible weeks in isolation, unable to breathe or walk across the room. Waiting my temp. to spike. Worrying about my kids. Fighting against dying. In the middle of this covid revisionist, anti-vax bullshit, it was worth saying what that felt like:

RFK tried a common COVID disinfo tactic, but messed up the delivery. The right loves to say ER visits fell in 2020. 
Stat is true, but it's due to people who use ERs for primary care delaying visits while social distancing. So, ER visits fell but ICUs were full due to an influx of COVID patients.

imagine if humans put that sort of disclaimer on their resumes lol

Taking fascist actions against colleagues and students who denounce genocide. It is THE BEST indication of their abandonment of our mission, followed by their embrace fascist “AI” tech. Their active support for fascism should be the top story everywhere. breachmedia.ca/canadian-uni...
