1856: Eunice Foote shows CO2 emissions cause global warming. 1954: Oil industry’s own research proves they’re cooking the planet. 2022: Explicit fossil fuel subsidies reach $1.5 TRILLION. 2026: The world burns as Big Oil earn $93 BILLION in 3 months. Trajectory of a suicidal civilization.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

Now I know what ticked off the U.S. P€do in Chief. 😂😂😂 PM Carney about the teleprompter: “Unlike a certain world leader, I do not view this as a conspiracy.” 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇨🇦 Naaaastyyyy 😏😂

Candida auris, a drug resistant fungus with a mortality rate up to 60 percent, has infected 3,130 people across 23 states this year. More than 95 percent of tested strains resist the first line antifungal treatment. The agency tracking it has lost a quarter of its workforce.

Honestly, if I was a student, I’d transfer out. If my kid’s a student, I’d ask if they’d want to consider time off while looking at other schools. Stop forcing #AI everywhere! The purpose of higher education is TO LEARN something. Relying on AI defeats that completely, like what are we even doing?

Another shot of that scene. Impossible to overstate how impressed my Mom was to see me sitting on TV beside Lloyd Robertson at the newsdesk. #RIPLloydRobertson

Brent Butt@brentbutt.bsky.social · 23h ago

Sitting at the CTV Newsdesk beside Lloyd Robertson and doing our silly little scene together was one of the finest and most surreal honours of my life. He was our first 'celeb cameo' on Corner Gas, and once he'd done it we were legitimized. Because no one was more legit than him. #RIPLloydRobertson

Example 762 471 of why election polls are useless and people need to stop caring about them. Just Go. Out. And. VOTE!! When the people vote, the people get heard. When the people stay home, the people get Trump.

1. the whole "disappointing night" thing is pure cope. El-Sayed beat the establishment candidate despite being outspent 10:1, that's an earthquake 2. primary polls are just not great and everyone needs to spend the next week going really, really hard for Peggy Flanagan

This is how it's done. Fight it out in the primary, and then link arms to defeat the common enemy in the general. Great demonstration of post-primary leadership from @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social.

People, once you go EV, you never go back. Truly. Happy with this as a priority of the Fed government… hope more provincial governments hop on **side eye at Ontario**

When Google's users searched for airlines' toll-free phone numbers, Google directed them to phones that rang in the scammers' boiler room, where they were tricked into giving up their passport info and credit card numbers to boiler-room thieves: www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-ne... 20/

funny how that works

I wonder how many people do not realize that Abdul El Sayed is a medical doctor, Rhodes Scholar and is author of many articles on public health.

Sure, Democrats are not perfect and we have some bad apples. But sexual harassment and abuse of women has become an absolute epidemic among elected Republicans because it is the culture of the party under lifetime serial sexual harasser Donald Trump.

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

I just want to live a peaceful life. But 2 data centers are being built an hour from where I live. 6 local police are on leave for misusing Flock. They detected West Nile Virus in 3 local mosquitos. And every time I look to some other place to travel, it's on FIRE.

Honestly, the most surprising fact about this statement is that it took 10 years of Trump for it to be said. I’d have expected it to be used 5-6 years in.

The Volatile Mermaid@ohnoshetwitnt.bsky.social · yesterday

“I’m staying in the race because, thanks to President Trump paving the groundwork, sexual assault and violence against women is widely and openly accepted now, so there’s really no reason to drop out.”

The only way AI features in my workday is as an annoyance inserted into a program or website I use. It is something to be worked around. It is astonishing how quickly some people have become reliant on the flattery machine.
