Progressive. Never Conservative. Science, climate change, wealth inequality. Woke. Proud Canadian born in Yellowknife now happily vaxxed in Toronto. Need more nice. Like science esp. astronomy, news, reading everything but mostly SFF, horror, mystery.

SpaceX stock dropped another 12% yesterday after AI spending rattled investors. For every $1 of revenue (not profit, income) they're burning $2 of cash. One analyst described it as, "Rockets burn fuel. SpaceX burns money."

Stephanie Bowman is the real deal. She knows how the real world works and what needs to be done to make it better. A great heart who would make the ideal next Premier of Ontario after the benighted Ford fiasco years. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ www.torontotoday.ca/local/politi...

DOUG FORD IGNORED FIRST NATIONS' WILDFIRE PLAN: "Ontario's Premier was presented with dozens of recommendations to improve emergency response in northern Ontario. Little progress was made before what's now estimated to be the province's worst wildfire season on record." thenarwhal.ca/ontario-igno...

First Nations gave Doug Ford a wildfire plan. Ontario ignored it | The Narwhal

Indigenous leaders and the auditor general gave Ontario several emergency management recommendations over the years. Little progress was made

The fact that the Democratic senators are agreeing to a continuing resolution until Dec 11th with NO compromises for them is absolute political malpractice and head scratching. Why not even try to ban likeโ€ฆ. The arch? Anything!

"The Montreal shooterโ€™s rhetoric was typical of incel culture. He treats women as subhuman objects of desire with no agency. He hates feminism because he believes it gives women power over sex and romance, and allows them to freely choose their own partners.โ€ An editorial by @mtltoula.bsky.social.

Treat incels as the violent extremists they are

Misogynistic incel subculture โ€” elements of which have become disturbingly mainstream โ€” is a serious public safety threat.

"The podium was there. The press wasnโ€™t. Premier Doug Ford has increasingly been attending what appear to be government announcements without inviting reporters. A review by The Trillium has found at least 5 examples since mid-May, when this practice appeared to become more frequent." ๐Ÿ‘€ #OnPoli

On those five occasions, social media posts show photos and videos of Ford standing at, or next to, government-branded โ€˜Protect Ontarioโ€™ podiums. Corresponding media advisories were never issued to reporters.

It is unclear if the microphones at the podiums were plugged in, as no remarks from the announcements were ever posted, livestreamed or made publicly available in any format. Itโ€™s also unclear who was invited to attend the events.
